SUBJECT TO COMPLETION – DATED May 9 , 2008

PROSPECTUS

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA

(Proposed holding company for Home Federal Savings and Loan Association)

Up to 1,840,000 Shares of Common Stock for Sale

(Anticipated Maximum)

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, a new Louisiana corporation, is offering up to 1,840,000 shares of its common stock to the public in connection with the conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana from the mutual to the stock form of organization. The shares being offered represent the ownership interest in Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, a federal corporation, now owned by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, its mutual holding company parent. Home Federal Bancorp currently is the "mid-tier" holding company of Home Federal Savings and Loan Association. The remaining ownership interest in Home Federal Bancorp is owned by the public and will be exchanged for shares of the new holding company's common stock. If you are now a shareholder of Home Federal Bancorp and continue to be until the offering is completed, your shares will be canceled and exchanged for shares of the new holding company. The number of shares you receive will be based on an exchange ratio that will depend upon the number of new shares we sell in our offering. All shares of common stock being offered for sale will be sold at a price of $10.00 per share.

Simultaneous with the completion of the conversion and offering, Home Federal Bancorp will acquire First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc. and will issue an aggregate of approximately 1,324,720 shares of common stock and pay approximately $8.8 million in cash to the stockholders of First Louisiana Bancshares. At the midpoint of the offering range, former First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders will own approximately 34.3% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Home Federal Bancorp will be renamed "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc." after the conversion and offering and the merger have been completed and shares will be issued in that name. If we do not complete the conversion and offering, the merger will not occur.

If you are a current or former depositor with a balance of at least $50 or certain borrower of Home Federal Savings and Loan as of the eligibility record dates, you may have priority rights to purchase shares in the subscription offering.

If you are a shareholder of Home Federal Bancorp on the date we complete the conversion and offering and the merger, your shares will be exchanged automatically for between 0.6369 and 0.86168 shares of the new holding company or up to 0.9909 shares in the event we increase the maximum of the offering range by 15%.

If you are not in one of the categories above, but are interested in purchasing shares of our common stock, you may be able to purchase shares in the community offering if shares remain available after priority orders are filled.

We are offering up to 1,840,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public on a best efforts basis, subject to certain conditions. We must sell a minimum of 1,360,000 shares to complete the offering. Under certain circumstances, however, we may include up to 204,000 shares issued in connection with the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares in order to meet the 1,360,000 share minimum requirement. If, as a result of regulatory considerations, demand for the shares or changes in market conditions, or the independent appraiser determines our market value has increased, we may sell up to 2,116,000 shares without giving you further notice or the opportunity to change or cancel your order.

The subscription offering will terminate at __:00 p.m., Central time, on _________, 2008. We may extend this expiration date without notice to you for up to 45 days, until _______, 2008, unless the Office of Thrift Supervision approves a later date. The minimum purchase is 25 shares. Once submitted, your order is irrevocable unless we terminate or extend the offering beyond __________, 2008. If we extend the offering beyond __________, 2008, subscribers will have the right to modify or rescind their purchase orders.

Funds received before completion of the offering will be maintained in a segregated account at Home Federal Savings and Loan, or at our discretion, at an independent insured depository institution. In either case, we will pay interest on all funds received at a rate equal to Home Federal Savings and Loan's passbook rate. If we do not sell the minimum number of shares or if we terminate the offering for any other reason, we will promptly return your funds with interest at Home Federal Savings and Loan's passbook rate.

Home Federal Bancorp's common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the Symbol "HFBL." We have applied to have the common stock of the new holding company listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "FLBI." We cannot assure you our common stock will be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.

Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. will assist us in our selling efforts on a best efforts basis, but is not obligated to purchase any of the common stock that is being offered. Purchasers will not pay any commission to purchase shares of common stock in the offering.

This investment involves a degree of risk, including the possible loss of principal.

SUMMARY

This summary highlights material information from this document and may not contain all the information that is important to you. To understand the conversion and offering and the merger fully, you should read this entire document carefully, including the consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (new)

We have formed a new Louisiana corporation called Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, which will be renamed "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc." following completion of the conversion and offering and the merger. The new holding company is conducting this stock offering in connection with the conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana from the mutual to the stock form of organization. The shares of common stock of the new holding company to be sold represent the 63.1% ownership interest in Home Federal Bancorp, the current mid-tier stock holding company, that is owned by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company. The remaining 36.9% ownership interest is owned by shareholders other than Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, who are sometimes referred to as the "public shareholders", and will be exchanged for shares of the new holding company's common stock based on an exchange ratio of between 0.6369 and 0.8617. The exchange ratio may be increased to as much as 0.9909 in the event the maximum of the offering range is increased by 15%. The actual exchange ratio will be determined at the closing of the conversion and offering and will depend on the number of shares of Home Federal Bancorp's common stock sold in the stock offering. Since the exchange ratio is less than one-for-one, unless the offering range is increased, the market value per share of the New Home Federal Bancorp shares received may be less than the per share market value of the existing Home Federal Bancorp common stock and the estimated pro forma stockholders' equity per share will be less. The executive offices of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. are located at 624 Market Street, Shreveport, Louisiana 71101, and its telephone number is (318) 222-1145.

The percentage of shares held by public shareholders upon completion of the mutual holding reorganization in January 2005 was 40%. As a result of subsequent stock repurchases, the percentage has declined to 36.9% as of the date hereof. Since the initial repurchase program initiated in January 2006, Home Federal Bancorp has repurchased 175,680 shares.

Home Federal Savings and Loan Association

Home Federal Savings and Loan Association is a federally chartered stock-form savings association originally organized in 1924. The association reorganized into the mutual holding company format in January 2005. Home Federal Savings and Loan's headquarters and main office and two full service branch offices are located in Shreveport, Louisiana and serve the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area. Home Federal Savings and Loan's business currently primarily consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds to invest in securities and originate loans. Home Federal Savings and Loan's market area is Caddo Parrish, Louisiana, which includes the city of Shreveport, and neighboring communities in Bossier Parish, Louisiana.

Following the conversion and offering and the merger, we expect to grow Home Federal Savings and Loan's franchise through de novo branch offices and, if prudent opportunities become available, through acquisitions. We are acquiring First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc., also headquartered in Shreveport, Louisiana, in connection with the conversion and offering. After the conversion and offering and completion of the merger, Home Federal Savings and Loan will change its name to "First Louisiana Bank" and will continue to be regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision as its primary Federal banking regulator. Following the merger, we expect to use First Louisiana Bank's main office, which is newer and larger than our current main office, as the main office for the combined company. In addition to the main office, we will operate six branch offices following the merger, five of which will be located in Shreveport and one in Bossier City.

Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana

Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana currently is the mutual holding company parent of Home Federal Bancorp. The principal business purpose of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company is its ownership of 63.1% of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp. Home Federal Mutual Holding Company will no longer exist upon completion of the conversion and offering.

Table of Contents

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (current mid-tier holding company)

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana is a federally chartered corporation which currently is the mid-tier stock holding company for Home Federal Savings and Loan. The common stock of Home Federal Bancorp is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is publicly quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "HFBL." At the conclusion of the stock offering and the conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, Home Federal Bancorp, the federal corporation, will no longer exist. The existing public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp will have their shares converted into between 0.6369 and 0.8617 shares of the new holding company's common stock. As of December 31, 2007, Home Federal Bancorp had total assets of $128.1 million and stockholders' equity of $30.4 million.

The following chart shows our current ownership structure which is commonly referred to as the "two-tier" mutual holding company structure:

Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana			Public Shareholders
	63.1% of the common stock			36.9% of the common stock
Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (federal corporation)
		100% of the common stock
Home Federal Savings and Loan Association

Following the conversion and offering and the merger, our ownership structure will be as follows:

	Public Shareholders
		100% of the common stock
Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (Louisiana corporation) (to be renamed "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc.")
		100% of the common stock
Home Federal Savings and Loan Association (to be renamed "First Louisiana Bank")

The conversion and offering are commonly referred to as a "second-step" conversion.

We have several business strategies that are designed to further improve our long-term profitability and enhance our franchise. These strategies include:

Acquiring First Louisiana Bank, a commercial bank competitor in our market area. Through the merger we expect to:

Diversify our loan portfolio by adding more commercial real estate and commercial business loans;

Strengthen our management by adding senior loan officers, including commercial lenders;

Diversify our products and services for a larger customer base and an enhanced competitive position;

Table of Contents

Enhancing core earnings by acquiring First Louisiana Bank's lower cost transaction and savings accounts combined with higher yielding commercial real estate and business loans;

Continuing geographic expansion of our market presence by opening additional de novo branches or through acquisitions (although we do not have any specific plans other than the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares) ; and

Strengthening our asset quality.

Acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares

Simultaneous with the completion of the conversion and offering, the new holding company will acquire First Louisiana Bancshares and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Louisiana Bank. First Louisiana Bank is a Louisiana-chartered commercial bank that operates out of three locations in the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area. In connection with the merger, the new holding company will issue an aggregate of approximately 1,324,720 shares of common stock and pay approximately $8.8 million in cash to the shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares. At the midpoint of the offering range, former First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders will own approximately 34.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the new holding company. Under certain circumstances, if existing options to acquire First Louisiana Bancshares common stock are exercised prior to closing, the number of shares issued in the acquisition could increase to 1,472,525 shares of common stock and the amount of the cash consideration increase to $9.8 million.

Completion of the merger is expected to increase Home Federal Savings and Loan's deposit base as well as expand and diversify its loan portfolio, and provide Home Federal Savings and Loan with greater access to customers in the greater Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares had total consolidated assets of $123.1 million, total loans of $85.4 million, total deposits of $92.8 million, total consolidated borrowings of $16.6 million and total stockholders' equity of $11.2 million.

We cannot complete the merger unless we have received the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision, the approval, or waiver of approval, of the Federal Reserve Board and the approval of the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions. We made the necessary filings with the agencies [and received the requisite approvals or waiver.] In addition, we cannot complete the merger unless both Home Federal Bancorp's and First Louisiana Bancshares' shareholders approve the merger agreement.

The merger will be completed immediately after completion of the conversion and the offering. Both the conversion and the merger are expected to occur on the same date.

Management

The board of directors of the new holding company currently is composed of the same nine individuals who serve on the boards of directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan. The board of directors of the new holding company after the conversion and offering and the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares will consist of the nine current directors and the seven directors of First Louisiana Bancshares. In addition, five directors of First Louisiana Bank will be added to the Board of Directors of Home Federal Savings and Loan.

The senior management of the new holding company currently consists of the current members of Home Federal Bancorp's senior management. After the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares, the composition of our executive management will change. We will appoint Daniel R. Herndon, our current President and Chief Executive Officer, as Chairman of the Board of the new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan and Chief Executive Officer of the new holding company. We will appoint Ron C. Boudreaux, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of First Louisiana Bancshares, as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the new holding company, President and Chief Executive Officer of Home Federal Savings and Loan and Chairman of the Executive Committee of Home Federal Savings and Loan. David L. Winkler, who is currently Chairman of the Board of First Louisiana Bancshares, will be appointed Vice Chairman of the Boards of Directors of Home Federal Savings and Loan and the new holding company. In addition, Clyde D. Patterson, Home Federal Bancorp's Executive Vice President, will be appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the new holding company and Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer of Home Federal Savings and Loan. For additional information, see "Management – Management of Home Federal Bancorp after the Merger."

See "The Conversion and Offering – How We Determined the Price Per Share, the Offering Range and the Exchange Ratio" beginning at page ___.

We may also cancel the conversion and offering after the special meetings with the concurrence of the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Table of Contents

Purchase Price

The purchase price is $10.00 per share. You will not pay a commission to buy any shares in the offering.

Reasons for the Conversion

We are pursuing the conversion for the following reasons:

The additional funds resulting from the offering will support continued growth and expansion, including providing the funding of the cash portion of the merger consideration for our merger with First Louisiana Bancshares, as well as provide enhanced lending capability.

We believe that our current mutual holding company structure has limited our opportunities to acquire other institutions because we cannot now issue stock in an acquisition in an amount that would cause Home Federal Mutual Holding Company to own less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp. The conversion will facilitate our ability to acquire other institutions, including First Louisiana Bank, by eliminating this requirement of majority ownership by our mutual holding company.

The conversion will increase the number of outstanding shares held by public shareholders and we expect our stock to have greater liquidity by listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.

In view of Home Federal Bancorp's current operations and capital level and due to the significant additional capital that will be raised by Home Federal Bancorp in connection with the conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Bancorp believe conducting the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares in connection with the conversion will result in an institution whose competitive position will be substantially improved upon conversion. We believe that the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares will significantly expand and diversify our loan portfolio, improve our lending platform, add depth and strength to management and result in an institution which will be better able to offer the increasingly sophisticated and broad array of services that are necessary to meet the convenience and needs of Home Federal Saving and Loan's (including First Louisiana Bank’s customers as a result of the merger) customers.

Conditions to Completion of the Conversion

We cannot complete our conversion and related offering unless:

The plan of conversion and reorganization is approved by at least a majority of votes eligible to be cast by voting members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company;

The plan of conversion and reorganization is approved by at least:

two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock; and

a majority of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, not including those shares held by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company;

We sell at least the minimum number of shares offered (which may include up to 204,000 shares issued to First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders as merger consideration);

We receive the final approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision to complete the conversion and offering and related transactions; and

We receive all requisite regulatory and shareholder approvals necessary to acquire First Louisiana Bancshares and all conditions to consummation of the acquisition are satisfied or waived.

Home Federal Mutual Holding Company intends to vote its 63.1% ownership interest in favor of the plan of conversion and reorganization. In addition, as of _______, 2008, directors and executive officers of Home Federal Bancorp and their associates owned [125,013] shares of Home Federal Bancorp, or [3.7]% of the outstanding shares, excluding shares that may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of stock options. They intend to vote those shares in favor of the plan of conversion and reorganization and the merger.

Table of Contents

Completion of the conversion and offering is not conditioned on completion of the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. Consequently, failure to complete the merger will result in the termination of the conversion and the offering.

Number of Shares to be Sold in the Offering

We are offering for sale between 1,360,000 and 1,840,000 shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock in this offering. The amount of capital being raised is based on an appraisal of Home Federal Bancorp assuming completion of the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. Most of the terms of this offering are required by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations. With regulatory approval, we may increase the number of shares to be issued to 2,116,000 shares without giving you further notice or the opportunity to change or cancel your order. In considering whether to increase the offering size, the Office of Thrift Supervision will consider the level of subscriptions, the views of our independent appraiser, our financial condition and results of operations and changes in market conditions.

If we do not receive orders for at least 1,360,000 shares of common stock, then we may issue up to 204,000 unsubscribed shares to First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders as merger consideration, but only in order to complete the offering at the minimum of the offering range. If 204,000 offering shares are so issued to First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders, the minimum number of shares that must be sold in the offering is 1,156,000. If we receive orders for at least 1,360,000 shares of common stock, then the 204,000 shares of common stock to be issued to First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders will be in addition to the total shares issued in the offering.

How We Determined the Offering Range and the Exchange Ratio

The offering range and the exchange ratio are based on an independent appraisal by Feldman Financial Advisors, Inc., an appraisal firm experienced in appraisals of savings institutions. The pro forma market value is the estimated market value of our common stock assuming the sale of shares in this offering. Feldman Financial has indicated that in its opinion as of __________, 2008, our common stock=s estimated full market value was $38.6 million at the midpoint, inclusive of shares to be issued to First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders in connection with the merger. In the offering, we are selling the number of shares representing the 63.1% of shares currently owned by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company. Feldman Financial estimates that this results in an offering range between $13.6 million and $18.4 million, with a midpoint of $16.0 million.

In preparing its appraisal, Feldman Financial considered the information in this prospectus, including Home Federal Bancorp's and First Louisiana Bancshares' financial statements as well as the estimated financial impact of the proposed merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. Feldman Financial also considered the following factors, among others:

Home Federal Bancorp's historical, present and projected operating results including, but not limited to, historical income statement information such as return on assets, return on equity, net interest margin trends, operating expense ratios, levels and sources of non-interest income, and levels of loan loss provisions;

Home Federal Bancorp's historical, present and projected financial condition including, but not limited to, historical balance sheet size, composition and growth trends, loan portfolio composition and trends, liability composition and trends, credit risk measures and trends, and interest rate risk measures and trends;

the economic, demographic and competitive characteristics of Home Federal Savings and Loan's primary market area including, but not limited to, employment by industry type, unemployment trends, size and growth of the population, trends in household and per capita income, deposit market share and largest competitors by deposit market share;

a comparative evaluation of the operating and financial statistics of Home Federal Savings and Loan with those of other similarly situated, publicly traded companies, which included a comparative analysis of balance sheet composition, income statement ratios, credit risk, interest rate risk and loan portfolio composition;

Table of Contents

the estimated impact of the stock offering on Home Federal Bancorp's consolidated stockholders' equity and earning potential including, but not limited to, the estimated increase in consolidated equity resulting from the offering, the estimated increase in earnings resulting from the reinvestment of the net proceeds of the offering, the estimated impact on the consolidated equity and earnings resulting from adoption of the employee benefit plans and the effect of higher consolidated equity on Home Federal Bancorp's future operations; and

the trading market for securities of comparable institutions and general conditions in the market for such securities.

Two of the measures investors use to analyze whether a stock might be a good investment are the ratio of the offering price to the issuer's "book value" (or "tangible book value" when the issuer has intangible assets, such as goodwill, recorded on its balance sheet) and the ratio of the offering price to the issuer's annual net income. Feldman Financial considered these ratios, among other factors, in preparing its appraisal. Book value is the same as total stockholders' equity, and represents the difference between the issuer's assets and liabilities. Feldman Financial's appraisal also incorporates an analysis of a peer group of publicly traded companies that Feldman Financial considered to be comparable to Home Federal Bancorp.

The following table presents a summary of selected pricing ratios for the peer group companies and for Home Federal Bancorp on a reported basis as utilized by Feldman Financial in its appraisal. These ratios are based on earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and book value as of December 31, 2007. Compared to the average pricing ratios of the peer group, our stock at the maximum of the offering range, would be priced at a premium of 79.2% to the peer group on a price to earnings basis and a discount of 29.9% to the peer group on a price to book value basis and 10.8% on a price to tangible book value basis. This means that, at the maximum of the offering range, a share of our common stock would be more expensive than the peer group based on an earnings per share basis and less expensive than the peer group based on a book value per share basis. See "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data" for the assumptions used to derive these pricing ratios.

If Home Federal Bancorp does not receive orders for at least 1,360,000 shares in the offering, then in Home Federal Bancorp's discretion, in order to issue the minimum number of shares necessary to complete the conversion and offering, up to 204,000 unsubscribed shares may be issued to stockholders of First Louisiana Bancshares as merger consideration.

Because of differences and important factors such as operating characteristics, location, financial performance, asset size, capital structure, and business prospects between Home Federal Bancorp and other fully converted institutions, you should not rely on these comparative valuation ratios as an indication as to whether or not the stock is an appropriate investment for you. The independent valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing the common stock. Because the independent valuation is based on estimates and projections on a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons purchasing the common stock will be able to sell their shares at a price equal to or greater than the purchase price.

There can be no assurance that our stock price will trade similarly to these companies. There can also be no assurance that our stock price will not trade below $10.00 per share, particularly as the proceeds raised as a percentage or pro forma stockholders' equity may have a negative effect on our stock price performance.

The table is not intended to indicate how our common stock may perform. Data represented in the table reflects a small number of transactions and is not necessarily indicative of general stock market performance trends or of price performance trends of companies that undergo "second-step" conversions. Furthermore, this table presents only short-term price performance and may not be indicative of the longer-term stock price performance of these companies. There can be no assurance that our stock price will appreciate or that our stock price will not trade below $10.00 per share. The movement of any particular company's stock price is subject to various factors, including, but not limited to, the amount of proceeds a company raises, the company's historical and anticipated operating results, the nature and quality of the company's assets, the company's market area and the quality of management and management's ability to deploy proceeds, such as through loans and investments, the acquisition of other financial institutions or other businesses, the payment of dividends and common stock repurchases. In addition, stock prices may be affected by general market and economic conditions, the interest rate environment, the market for financial institutions and merger or takeover transactions and the presence of professional and other investors who purchase stock on speculation, as well as other unforeseeable events not in the control of management. Before you make an investment decision, please carefully read this prospectus, including "Risk Factors" beginning on page 16.

Use of Proceeds from the Sale of new Home Federal Bancorp Common Stock

We will use the proceeds from the offering as follows:

Use of Proceeds	Amount, at minimum		Amount, at maximum		Percentage of net offering proceeds at maximum
	(Dollars in thousands)

_______________________

(1)

Approximately $8.8 million of the funds contributed to Home Federal Savings and Loan will be used to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration for First Louisiana Bancshares. Any difference between the $8.8 million and the cash proceeds contributed to Home Federal Savings and Loan from the offering will come from existing assets of Home Federal Savings and Loan. Our offering includes a provision for an adjusted minimum that will allow the issuance to First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders of up to 204,000 unsubscribed offering shares as merger consideration. This would reduce the net proceeds that we retain to $2.7 million. See "How Our Net Proceeds Will Be Used."

(2)	Includes $345,000 and $718,000, respectively, of non-tax deductible merger costs and tax deductible merger costs.

Home Federal Bancorp may use the portion of the proceeds that it retains to, among other things, invest in securities, pay dividends to shareholders, repurchase shares of common stock (subject to regulatory restrictions), finance the possible acquisition of financial institutions or other businesses that are related to banking or for general corporate purposes. It will also use a portion of the proceeds that it retains to make quarterly interest payments on the $4.1 million of junior subordinated debentures it will assume in the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. Such debentures bore interest at the rate of 6.79063% as of December 31, 2007, which rate adjusts based on the 3-month London Inter-bank Offer Rate plus 180 basis points.

All or substantially all of the proceeds to be contributed to Home Federal Savings and Loan will be used to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration. Remaining funds, if any, will be available for general corporate purposes. In addition, the increased capital resulting from the offering may allow Home Federal Savings and Loan to leverage its balance sheet by purchasing investment and mortgage-backed securities funded by advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas.

The Amount of Home Federal Bancorp Common Stock You May Purchase

The minimum purchase is 25 shares. Generally, you may purchase no more than $400,000 (40,000 shares) of common stock offered in any single purchase priority category. The maximum amount of shares that a person together with any associates or group of persons acting in concert with such person may subscribe for or purchase in the offering is $1.0 million (100,000 shares) of common stock. Your associates are the following persons:

relatives living in your house;

companies, trusts or other entities in which you have a controlling interest or hold a position; or

other persons who may be acting together with you.

In addition, the number of shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock that you may purchase in the offering individually, and together with associates or persons acting in concert, plus any exchange shares and merger shares you and they receive, may not exceed 5% of the total shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock to be issued and outstanding at the completion of the conversion and offering, provided, however, that you will not be required to divest any of your Home Federal Bancorp shares or be limited in the number of exchange shares you may receive or the number of shares you may receive in connection with the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares if you are also a shareholder of such company.

Table of Contents

We have the right to determine, in our sole discretion, whether subscribers are associates or acting in concert. Persons having the same address or with accounts registered at the same address generally will be assumed to be associates or acting in concert.

We may decrease or increase the maximum purchase limitation without notifying you, with the concurrence of the Office of Thrift Supervision. In the event the maximum purchase limitation is increased, persons who subscribed for the maximum will be notified and permitted to increase their subscription. For additional information, see "The Conversion and Offering – Limitations on Common Stock Purchases" at page ___.

How to Order Shares in the Offering

If you want to place an order for shares in the offering, you must complete an original stock order form and send it to us, together with full payment. The stock order form also includes an acknowledgement from you that before purchasing shares of our common stock, you received a copy of this prospectus and that you are aware of the risks involved in the investment, including those described under "Risk Factors" beginning on page __. We must receive your stock order form before the end of the subscription offering or the end of the community offering, as appropriate. Once we receive your order, you cannot cancel or change it.

To ensure that we properly identify your subscription rights, you must list all of your deposit accounts as of the eligibility date on the stock order form. If you fail to do so, your subscription may be reduced or rejected if the offering is oversubscribed. To preserve your purchase priority, you must register the shares only in the name or names of eligible purchasers at the applicable date of eligibility. You may not add the names of others who were not eligible to purchase common stock in the offering on the applicable date of eligibility.

We may, in our sole discretion, reject orders received in the community offering or syndicated community offering, either in whole or in part. In addition, we may reject an order submitted by a person who we believe is making false representations or who we believe is attempting to violate, evade or circumvent the terms and conditions of the plan of conversion and reorganization. If your order is rejected in part, you cannot cancel the remainder of your order.

How Shares Can be Paid for

In the offering, subscribers may pay for shares only by:

cash (if delivered in person);

personal check, bank check or money order payable to Home Federal Bancorp, Inc.; or

authorizing Home Federal Savings and Loan to withdraw money from the subscriber's deposit account(s) maintained with Home Federal Savings and Loan (we will waive any applicable penalties for early withdrawals from certificate of deposit accounts).

We may, in our sole discretion, elect not to accept payment for shares of common stock by wired funds and there shall be no liability for failure to accept such payment.

We will pay interest on your subscription funds from the date we receive your funds at Home Federal Savings and Loan's passbook rate, except as otherwise described below, until the stock offering is completed or terminated. All funds authorized for withdrawal from deposit accounts will earn interest at the applicable account rate earned on such accounts until the stock offering is completed or terminated. If, as a result of a withdrawal from a certificate of deposit, the balance falls below the minimum balance requirement, the remaining funds will be transferred to a savings account and will earn interest at our passbook rate. There will be no early withdrawal penalty for withdrawals from certificates of deposit at Home Federal Savings and Loan used to pay for stock. Funds received in the subscription offering will be held in a segregated deposit account at Home Federal Savings and Loan established to hold funds received as payment for shares or, at our discretion, at an independent insured depository institution.

Table of Contents

Owners of self-directed IRAs may use the assets of such IRAs to purchase shares of common stock in the subscription and community offerings, provided that such IRAs are not maintained at Home Federal Savings and Loan. Persons with IRAs maintained at Home Federal Savings and Loan must have their accounts transferred to an unaffiliated institution or broker to purchase shares of common stock in the subscription and community offerings. Any interested parties wishing to use IRA funds for stock purchases are advised to contact the stock information center for additional information and allow sufficient time for the account to be transferred as required.

Home Federal Savings and Loan is not permitted to lend funds (including funds drawn on a Home Federal Savings and Loan line of credit) to anyone for the purpose of purchasing shares of common stock in the offering.

Deadline for Orders of Common Stock

For those depositors and borrowers of Home Federal Savings and Loan with subscription rights who wish to purchase shares in the offering, a properly completed stock order form, together with full payment for the shares, must be received by Home Federal Savings and Loan no later than __:00 p.m., Central time, on _________, 2008, unless we extend the deadline. Subscribers may submit order forms by mail using the return envelope provided, by overnight courier to the indicated address on the order form, or by bringing their order forms to one of our full-service branch offices during regular business hours. Once submitted, orders are irrevocable unless we terminate or extend the offering beyond __________, 2008.

Termination of the Offering

In the event that there is a direct community offering in addition to the subscription offering, we anticipate that the direct community offering would expire not later than 45 days subsequent to the expiration of the subscription offering. We may extend this expiration date without notice to you, until _______, 2008, unless the Office of Thrift Supervision approves a later date. If an extension beyond ________, 2008 is granted, we will notify subscribers of the extension of time and subscribers will have the right to modify or rescind their subscriptions. If we do not receive an affirmative response from a subscriber to any resolicitation, the subscriber's order will be rescinded and all funds received will be returned promptly with interest, or withdrawal authorizations will be cancelled.

Our Dividend Policy

Home Federal Bancorp has paid quarterly cash dividends since the third quarter of 2005. For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the cash dividend was $0.06 per share. We intend to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends after we complete the conversion and offering and the merger. We currently expect that the level of cash dividends per share after the conversion and offering and the merger will be substantially consistent with the current amount of dividends of $0.06 per share. However, the dividend rate and the continued payment of dividends will depend on a number of factors, including our capital requirements, our financial condition and results of operations, tax considerations, statutory and regulatory limitations and general economic conditions. No assurance can be given that we will continue to pay dividends or that they will not be reduced or eliminated in the future.

Your Subscription Rights are Not Transferable

You may not transfer, assign or sell your subscription rights. Any transfer of subscription rights is prohibited by law. If you exercise subscription rights, you will be required to certify that you are purchasing shares solely for your own account and that you have no agreement or understanding regarding the sale or transfer of shares. We intend to pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies if we learn of the transfer of any subscription rights. We will reject orders that we determine to involve the transfer of subscription rights. Adding non-depositors or non-borrowers or otherwise altering the form of beneficial ownership of a qualifying account will result in a loss of subscription rights.

Benefits to Management from the Conversion and Offering

Our employees, officers and directors will benefit from the conversion and offering due to various stock-based benefit plans.

Full-time employees, including officers, will be participants in our existing employee stock ownership plan which will purchase additional shares of common stock in the offering;

Subsequent to completion of the conversion and offering, we intend to implement a:

new stock recognition and retention plan; and

new stock option plan

which will benefit our employees and directors.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The employee stock ownership plan will provide retirement benefits to all eligible employees of Home Federal Savings and Loan. The plan will purchase 4.0% of the new holding company's common stock sold in the offering, with the proceeds of a loan from the new holding company. The term of the loan will be 15 years. As the loan is repaid and shares are released from collateral, the shares will be allocated to the accounts of participants based on a participant's compensation as a percentage of total compensation of all plan participants. Non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in the employee stock ownership plan. We will incur additional compensation expense as a result of this plan. See "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data" for an illustration of the effects of this plan.

New Stock Option Plan and Stock Recognition and Retention Plan. We intend to implement new stock option plan and stock recognition and retention plan no earlier than six months after the conversion and offering. Under these plans, we may award stock options and shares of restricted stock to employees and directors. Shares of restricted stock will be awarded at no cost to the recipient. Stock options will be granted at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the option grant date. We will incur additional compensation expense as a result of both plans. See "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data" for an illustration of the effects of these plans. Under the new stock option plan, we may grant stock options in an amount up to 7.68% of the new holding company's common stock sold in the offering. Under the stock recognition and retention plan, we may award restricted stock in an amount equal to 3.07% of the new holding company's common stock sold in the offering. The plans will comply with all applicable Office of Thrift Supervision regulations. The new stock option plan and stock recognition and retention plan will supplement the existing 2005 Stock Option Plan and 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan of Home Federal Bancorp, which will continue as plans of the new holding company, following completion of the conversion and offering.

The following table presents the total value of all shares expected to be available for restricted stock awards under the new stock recognition and retention plan, based on a range of market prices from $8.00 per share to $14.00 per share. Ultimately, the value of the grants will depend on the actual trading price of our common stock, which depends on numerous factors.

The following table presents the total value of all stock options expected to be made available for grant under the new stock option plan, based on a range of market prices from $8.00 per share to $14.00 per share. For purposes of this table, the value of the stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. See "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data." Ultimately, financial gains can be realized on a stock option only if the market price of the common stock increases above the price at which the option is granted.

The following table summarizes, at the minimum and the maximum of the offering range, the total number and value of the shares of common stock that the employee stock ownership plan expects to acquire and the total value of all restricted stock awards and stock option grants that are expected to be available under the anticipated new stock recognition and retention plan and stock option plan, respectively, based on shares sold at the offering.

Shareholders will experience a reduction or dilution of their ownership interest of approximately 4.6% if we use newly issued shares to fund the awards of stock options and restricted shares under the proposed new stock option plan and recognition and retention plan expected to be implemented after the conversion and offering and the merger, assuming the midpoint of the offering range (or taken individually, 3.3% for the new stock option plan and 1.3% for the new recognition and retention plan). If any options previously granted under the 2005 Stock Option Plan are exercised during the first year following completion of the conversion and offering, they will be funded with newly issued shares as the Office of Thrift Supervision regulations do not permit us to repurchase our shares during the first year following the completion of this stock offering except to fund the restricted stock plan or under extraordinary circumstances. We have been advised by the staff of the Office of Thrift Supervision that the exercise of outstanding options and cancellation of treasury shares in the conversion and offering will not constitute an extraordinary circumstance for purposes of satisfying an exception to the requirement.

The following table presents information regarding the existing employee stock ownership plan, options and restricted stock previously awarded under the 2005 Stock Option Plan and 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan, the employee stock ownership plan and the proposed new stock option plan and recognition and retention plan. The table also includes information regarding stock option plans of First Louisiana Bancshares being assumed in the merger. The table below assumes that 4,240,046 shares are outstanding after the conversion and offering and the merger, which includes the sale of 1,840,000 shares in the offering at the maximum of the offering range, the issuance of 1,075,326 shares of the new holding company's common stock in exchange for existing Home Federal Bancorp stock held by other the Home Federal Mutual Holding Company using an exchange ratio of 0.86168 (based on the maximum of the offering range) and the issuance of stat shares in the merger in exchange for shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock. It is also assumed that the value of the stock is $10.00 per share.

(1)	Shares purchased or awarded and options granted prior to the conversion and offering have been adjusted for the 0.9694 exchange ratio at the maximum of the offering range for shares of Home Federal Bancorp and the 2.8 exchange ratio for shares of First Louisiana Bancshares.

(2)

Approximately 11,040 (11,389 shares prior to adjustment for the exchange ratio) of these shares have been allocated to the accounts of participants. The employee stock ownership plan purchased 8.0% (113,889 shares) of the shares issued to other than Home Federal Mutual Holding Company (1,423,583 shares) in the mutual holding company reorganization completed in January 2005.

(3)

Home Federal Bancorp reserved 69,756 shares (before applying exchange ratio) which reflected an amount equal to 4.0% of the shares that would have been issued to persons other than Home Federal Mutual Holding Company in the mutual holding company reorganization if Home Federal Bancorp had issued 49% (1,743,889 shares) of the total shares issued in the reorganization (3,558,958 shares) to minority shareholders rather than 40% actually issued to such persons (1,423,583 shares). As of December 31, 2007, awards covering 29,471 (28,569 shares after adjustment for the exchange ratio) of the indicated 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan awards have vested, and the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock subject to these vested awards have been distributed.

(4)	The actual value of new recognition and retention plan awards will be determined based on their fair value as of the date grants are made. For purposes of this table, fair value is assumed to be the same as the offering price of $10.00 per share.

(5)

Of this amount, no options have been exercised to date, and all previously granted options remain outstanding. Home Federal Bancorp reserved 174,389 shares (before applying exchange ratio) under this plan which reflected 10.0% of the shares that would have been issued to persons other than Home Federal Mutual Holding Company in the mutual holding company reorganization if Home Federal Bancorp had issued 49% (1,743,889 shares) of the total shares issued in the reorganization (3,558,958 shares) to minority shareholders rather than the 40% actually issued to such persons (1,423,583 shares). As of December 31, 2007, options covering 170,857 shares (before applying the exchange ratio) were issued and outstanding.

(6)

The weighted-average fair value of stock options under the 2005 Stock Option Plan has been estimated at $1.80 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and assumes that all options have been granted and are outstanding. Prior to the adjustment for exchange ratio, the 2005 Stock Option Plan covered 174,389 shares. The weighted-average assumptions used for the options issued in 2005 under the 2005 Stock Option Plan were the following: exercise price, $9.85; dividend yield, 2.0%; expected life, 10 years; expected volatility, 8.59%; and risk-free interest rate, 4.13%.

The fair value of stock options to be granted under the new stock option plan has been estimated at $2.50 per option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise price, $10.00; trading price on date of grant, $10.00; dividend yield, 2.53%; expected life, 10 years; expected volatility, 21.30%; and risk-free interest rate, 4.04%.

(8)

Under the terms of the merger agreement, the existing options to purchase shares of First Louisiana Bancshares which remain outstanding as of the completion of the merger will be converted to options to purchase new holding company stock, with the number of shares subject to options and the exercise price per share adjusted to reflect the 2.8 exchange ratio. The amounts in the table reflect the application of the exchange ratio. No options have been exercised to date and all previously granted options remain outstanding. No further options will be granted under such plans under the terms of the merger agreement and no options have been granted under such plans since the entry into the merger agreement as of December 11, 2007. The plans will be frozen and we will not be able to issue any options under these plans subsequent to completion of the merger. The options granted under the stock plans are already or will be fully vested as of the completion of the merger.

(9)

The per share weighted average fair value of the 36,139 stock options granted during 1999 under the 1999 Stock Option Plan and 43,340 stock options granted under the Directors' Stock Option Plan was $3.77 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise price, $10.00, expected dividend yield, 0%, risk-free interest rate, 5.92%, and expected life, 8 years. The per share weighted average fair value of the 500 stock options granted during 2002 was $2.64 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise price, $12.50, expected dividend yield, 0%, risk-free interest rate, 4.08%, and expected life, 8 years. The per share weighted average fair value of the 8,000 stock options granted during 2006 was $4.78 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise price, $12.75, expected dividend yield, 0%, risk-free interest rate, 5.00%, and expected life, 8 years.

Table of Contents

As noted above, existing options granted under the 2005 Stock Option Plan as well as options that will be assumed under the two First Louisiana Bancshares plans will remain outstanding upon completion of the conversion and the merger, adjusted for the exchange ratio or the merger exchange ratio, respectively. In the event that any stock options under the existing Home Federal Bancorp and the assumed stock option plans are exercised during the first year after completion of the conversion and merger, the shares issued upon exercise will be from authorized but unissued shares. New Home Federal Bancorp will take steps to file a registration statement registering the shares issuable under the 2005 Stock Option Plan and the two First Louisiana Bancshares stock option plans within 10 business days of the completion of the conversion and the merger.

Employment Agreements. In connection with the conversion and offering and the merger, the new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan will enter into new employment agreements with each of Daniel R. Herndon, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan, and Ron C. Boudreaux, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of First Louisiana Bancshares and First Louisiana Bank, who will become the President and Chief Executive Officer of Home Federal Savings and Loan Association and President and Chief Operating Officer of the new holding company upon completion of the merger. Such agreements will be entered into at the completion of the merger and will provide for severance benefits if the executives are terminated under various circumstances, including following a change in control of the new holding company or Home Federal Savings and Loan Association.

Market for Common Stock

Home Federal Bancorp's common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "HFBL." We have applied to have the common stock of the new holding company listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market. After the conversion and offering and the merger are completed, we expect the common stock to trade under the symbol "FLBI."

Federal and State Income Tax Consequences

We have received the opinions of Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P. and LaPorte Sehrt Romig & Hand, respectively, that under federal and Louisiana income tax law and regulation, the tax basis to the shareholders of the common stock purchased in the offering will be the amount paid for the common stock, and that the conversion will not be a taxable event for us. These opinions, however, are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service. The full texts of the opinions are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part, and copies may be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission. See "Where You Can Find Additional Information."

Restrictions on the Acquisition of New Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan

Federal regulations, as well as provisions contained in the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the new holding company, contain certain restrictions on acquisitions of the new holding company or its capital stock. These restrictions include the requirement that a potential acquirer of common stock obtain the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision before acquiring in excess of 10% of the outstanding common stock. Additionally, Office of Thrift Supervision approval would be required for the new holding company to be acquired within three years after the conversion and offering.

In addition, the new holding company's articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may discourage takeover attempts and prevent you from receiving a premium over the market price of your shares as part of a takeover. These provisions include:

restrictions on the acquisition of more than 10% of our common stock and limitations on voting rights of shares held in excess of 10%;

staggered election of only approximately one-third of our board of directors each year;

the absence of cumulative voting by shareholders in the election of directors;

limitations on the ability of shareholders to call special meetings;

advance notice requirements for shareholder nominations and new business;

removals of directors without cause by a 75% vote of shareholders and with cause by a majority vote of all shareholders;

requirement of a 75% vote of shareholders for certain amendments to the bylaws and certain provisions of the articles of incorporation;

supermajority vote requirements for the approval of certain business combinations not approved by the board of directors; and

the right of the board of directors to issue shares of preferred or common stock without shareholder approval.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the following risk factors before purchasing Home Federal Bancorp common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business

Home Federal Bancorp's Success Depends in Part on the Success of the Merger

The merger with First Louisiana Bancshares will be Home Federal Bancorp's first merger. The future growth and profitability of Home Federal Bancorp will depend, in part, on its ability to successfully complete the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares which will, in turn, depend on a number of factors, including:

Our ability to integrate First Louisiana Bank's branches into the current operations of Home Federal Savings and Loan;

Our ability to maintain customer relationships, particularly loan customers, and limit the outflow of deposits;

Our ability to control the non-interest expense resulting from the merger in a manner that enables it to improve its overall operating efficiencies, which merger related expenses to be recognized directly following the merger are expected to be approximately $1.1 million, pre-tax;

Our ability to combine two different corporate cultures; and

Our ability to retain and integrate the appropriate personnel and key employees of Home Federal Savings and Loan and First Louisiana Bank into our operations.

There can be no assurance that Home Federal Bancorp will be able to integrate First Louisiana Bank successfully, that it will be able to achieve results in the future similar to those achieved by Home Federal Savings and Loan in the past, or that it will be able to manage the growth resulting from the merger effectively. See "Pro Forma Data" beginning on page __.

Our Portfolio of Loans with a Higher Risk of Loss will Increase as a Result of the Merger

As a result of the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares, our portfolio of commercial, construction and consumer loans will increase significantly. Furthermore, Home Federal Bancorp intends to emphasize such lending activities subsequent to completion of the conversion and offering and the merger. These loans have a higher risk of default and loss than owner-occupied single-family residential mortgage loans because repayment of the loans often depends on the successful operation of the property and the income stream of the borrower, and for construction loans, the accuracy of the estimate of the property's value at completion of construction and the estimated cost of construction. Such loans also typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers than single-family residential loans. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares had total non-performing assets of $2.6 million which includes $2.3 million of other real estate owned. Other real estate owned consisted of five commercial real estate properties and two residential properties. The pro forma amount of commercial real estate and business loans, giving effect to the merger, totals $72.5 million, or 63.9% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2007. At the same time, on a pro forma basis, the percentage of the loan portfolio comprised of single-family residential mortgage loans would decrease. Our single-family residential mortgage loans amounted to $19.0 million, or 67.6% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2007 compared to pro forma amounts of $24.9 million or 21.9% at December 31, 2007. Commercial real estate and business loans as well as construction loans generally have a higher risk of loss than single-family residential mortgage loans.

We Have a High Concentration of Loans Purchased from a Single Mortgage Loan Originator

A significant amount of our single-family residential loans are purchased from one mortgage loan originator located in Arkansas. At December 31, 2007, we held $10.6 million of such loans which represented 55.8% of our single-family residential mortgage loans, 37.7% of our total loans and 8.3% of our total assets. As of December 31, 2007, the average size and age of such loans was approximately $113,000 and four years, respectively. These loans are secured by properties located primarily in predominantly rural areas of Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. The seller retains servicing rights with respect to the loans, which are originated at a fixed rate of interest and we receive an adjustable rate of interest tied to the Federal Housing Finance Board rate, adjusted semi-annually. Under the terms of the loan agreements, the seller must repurchase the loans if they become more than 90 days delinquent. We underwrite all the loans to our standards and monitor their performance. We have not experienced any losses on the loans purchased through this originator since the relationship was developed more than 10 years ago. However, in order to reduce our exposure to the concentration created by past purchases of such loans, we have reduced our involvement in such activity in recent years by reducing the aggregate dollar amount of loans purchased pursuant to this arrangement. As of December 31, 2006, the aggregate amount of loans purchased from this originator in our loan portfolio was $10.6 million. Although we have purchased loans from this lender for a substantial period of time, there are no assurances that we will be able to continue to do so in the future under the same terms or at the same volume or that the lender would be able to repurchase the loans if delinquencies occur.

Changes in Market Rates of Interest May Hurt Our Profitability

Market rates of interest have, until recently, risen from historically low levels. Many institutions, including Home Federal Savings and Loan, have experienced a narrowing or "compression" of their net interest spread, which is the difference between the weighted-average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the weighted-average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Home Federal Savings and Loan's average interest spread was 1.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to 1.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2006. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, First Louisiana Bank's average interest spread was 4.29% and 4.69%, respectively. Home Federal Savings and Loan's net interest margin, which is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, was 2.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to 2.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, First Louisiana Bank's net interest margin was 5.07% and 5.43%, respectively. In a period of rising interest rates, the interest income earned on our assets may not increase as rapidly as the interest expense paid on our liabilities. In addition, increases in market rates of interest could adversely affect our net portfolio value. As of December 31, 2007, in the event of an immediate and sustained 200 basis point increase in interest rates, Home Federal Savings and Loan's net portfolio value, which is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts, would decrease by $5.4 million or 19.1%. Under the same circumstances, our net interest income would be expected to decrease by $74,000 or 4.8%.

Recently, the U.S. Federal Reserve decreased its target for the federal funds rate from 5.25% to 2.25%. However, while short-term rates (which we use as a guide to price our deposits) have decreased, longer term market interest rates (which we use as a guide to price our longer term loans) have not. However, if longer term rates do decrease, such decrease may result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities as borrowers refinance to reduce the cost of their borrowings. Under these circumstances, we are subject to re-investment risk as we may have to re-deploy the proceeds resulting from such prepayments in assets bearing the then current lower yields, which might also negatively impact our income.

Competition for Core Deposits is Increasing

As a result of the rise in short term interest rates until recently, deposit customers have transferred significant amounts of their deposits from low-cost "core deposits" such as checking and savings accounts to certificates of deposit, also known as time deposits. For the six months ended December 31, 2007 core deposits comprised 15.6% of our average total deposits. At December 31, 2007, $65.5 million, or 80.8%, of our total deposits were certificates of deposit, and of that amount $10.9 million, or 16.7% of our total certificates of deposit, were "jumbo" certificates of $100,000 or more. At December 31, 2007, $38.3 million or 41.3% of First Louisiana Bank's total deposits consisted of certificates of deposit, of which $28.2 million consisted of jumbo deposits. Our balances of certificates of deposit have increased as a result of, among other factors, the increased rates now available on those products relative to other deposit products or other investments in the current interest rate environment. The inflow of jumbo certificates of deposit and the retention of these deposits upon maturity are particularly sensitive to general interest rates and money market conditions, making "jumbo" certificates of deposits traditionally a more volatile source of funding than our checking, savings and money market deposit accounts. As more customers invest in time deposits and as competition for low-cost core deposits increases, the average rate Home Federal Savings and Loan pays on its deposits will likely increase. Despite recent decreases in market rates due to such competition for core deposits, Home Federal Savings and Loan's rates may not decrease to the same degree. This will have the effect of narrowing our net interest spread and net interest margin, which could adversely affect our profitability. The average rate we paid on our interest-bearing deposits was 4.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to 3.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2006.

Our Results of Operations Depend Significantly on Economic Conditions and Related Uncertainties

Banking is affected, directly and indirectly, by domestic and international economic and political conditions and by governmental monetary and fiscal policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, volatile interest rates, real estate values, government monetary policy, international conflicts, the actions of terrorists and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our results of operations. Changes in interest rates, in particular, could adversely affect our net interest income and have a number of other adverse effects on our operations, as discussed in the first risk factor above. Adverse economic conditions also could result in an increase in loan delinquencies, foreclosures and nonperforming assets and a decrease in the value of the property or other collateral which secures our loans, all of which could adversely affect our results of operations. We are particularly sensitive to changes in economic conditions and related uncertainties in Caddo and Bossier Parishes because both we and First Louisiana Bancshares derive substantially all of our loans, deposits and other business from these communities in northwestern Louisiana. Accordingly, we remain subject to the risks associated with prolonged declines in national or local economies.

Table of Contents

Our Allowance for Losses on Loans May Not Be Adequate to Cover Probable Losses

We have established an allowance for loan losses based upon various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio which we believe is adequate to offset probable losses on our existing loans. Since we must use assumptions regarding individual loans and the economy, our current allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, and increases in the allowance may become necessary in the future. Any future declines in real estate market conditions, general economic conditions or changes in regulatory policies may require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, which would adversely affect our results of operations. We may also need to significantly increase our provision for loan losses, particularly if one or more of our larger loans or credit relationships becomes delinquent. In addition, federal regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize loan charge-offs. Our allowance for loan losses amounted to 0.8% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2007. We had $19,000 of non-performing loans at December 31, 2007. At the same date, First Louisiana Bank's allowance for loan losses amounted to 280.4% of non-performing loans and 1.0% of total loans outstanding. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares had $317,000 of non-performing loans.

Our Loans are Concentrated to Borrowers in a Limited Geographic Area

At December 31, 2007, the preponderance of our total loans were to individuals and/or secured by properties located in northwestern Louisiana, eastern Texas and Arkansas. Likewise, the preponderance of First Louisiana Bank's loans were to individuals or businesses and/or secured by properties located in the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area. Accordingly, the merger will not increase the geographical diversity of our operations. We have relatively few loans outside of the foregoing areas. As a result, we have a greater risk of loan defaults and losses in the event of an economic downturn in our market area as adverse economic changes may have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayment of their loans. Additionally, a decline in local property values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral. If we are required to liquidate a significant amount of collateral during a period of reduced real estate values to satisfy the debt, our earnings and capital could be adversely affected.

We Depend On the Services of Our Management Team

Our future success and profitability depend on the management and banking abilities of our senior executives, currently and after the merger. We believe that our future results will also depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified management including senior officers of First Louisiana Bancshares who will become officers of the new holding company as a result of the merger. We are especially dependent on a limited number of key management personnel. The loss of our chief executive officer, president or other senior executive officers could have a material adverse impact on our operations because other officers may not have the experience and expertise to readily replace these individuals. Competition for such personnel is intense, and if we are not successful in attracting or retaining such personnel, our business would likely suffer. Changes in key personnel and their responsibilities may be disruptive to our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are Subject to Extensive Regulation Which Could Adversely Affect Our Business and Operations

We are subject to extensive federal and state governmental supervision and regulation, which are intended primarily for the protection of depositors. In addition, we are subject to changes in federal and state laws, as well as changes in regulations, governmental policies and accounting principles. The effects of any such potential changes cannot be predicted but could adversely affect our business and operations in the future.

Table of Contents

Significant Competition Within our Market Area May Limit our Growth and Profitability

Competition in the banking and financial services industry is significant. In our market area, we compete with numerous commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere.

Risks Related to the Offering

Additional Expenses Following the Offering from New Equity Benefit Plans Will Adversely Affect Our Net Income

Following the offering, we will recognize additional annual employee compensation and benefit expenses stemming from options and shares granted to employees, directors and executives under new benefit plans. These additional expenses will adversely affect our net income. We cannot determine the actual amount of these new stock-related compensation and benefit expenses at this time because applicable accounting practices generally require that they be based on the fair market value of the options or shares of common stock at the date of the grant; however, we expect them to be significant. We will recognize expenses for our employee stock ownership plan when shares are committed to be released to participants' accounts and will recognize expenses for restricted stock awards and stock options generally over the vesting period of awards made to recipients. These benefit expenses in the first year following the offering have been estimated to be approximately $168,000 at the maximum of the offering range as set forth in the pro forma financial information under "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data" assuming the $10.00 per share purchase price as fair market value. Actual expenses, however, may be higher or lower, depending on the price of our common stock at that time. For further discussion of these plans, see "Management – New Stock Benefit Plans."

Our Return on Equity May Be Low Which May Negatively Impact Our Stock Price

Return on equity, which equals net income divided by average equity, is a ratio used by many investors to compare the performance of a particular company with other companies. Home Federal Bancorp's return on average equity was 1.7% and 2.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These returns are lower than returns on equity for many comparable publicly traded financial institutions. We expect our return on equity ratio will not increase substantially, due in part to our increased capital level upon completion of the offering and the merger. Consequently, you should not expect a competitive return on equity in the near future. Failure to attain a competitive return on equity ratio may make an investment in our common stock unattractive to some investors which might cause our common stock to trade at lower prices than comparable companies with higher returns on equity. The net proceeds from the stock offering, which may be as much as $22.5 million, will significantly increase our stockholders' equity. On a pro forma basis and based on net income for the six months ended December 31, 2007, our return on equity ratio, assuming shares are sold at the midpoint of the offering range, would be approximately 1.49%. Based on trailing 12 month data for the most recent publicly available financial information as of December 31, 2007, the 12 companies comprising our peer group in the independent appraisal prepared by Feldman Financial and all publicly traded savings banks and associations had average ratios of returns on equity of 4.2% and 3.7%, respectively.

Home Federal Bancorp Will Have Broad Discretion in Allocating the Proceeds of the Offering

We intend to contribute approximately 50% of the net proceeds of the offering to Home Federal Savings and Loan, all or a substantial portion of which will be used to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration. Home Federal Bancorp may use the portion of the proceeds that it retains to, among other things, invest in securities, pay cash dividends or repurchase shares of common stock, subject to regulatory restriction. Any remaining portion of the net proceeds it retains will be used initially to purchase investment and mortgage-backed securities. Home Federal Bancorp may also use the proceeds of the offering to diversify its business and acquire other companies, although we have no specific plans to do so at this time. We have not allocated specific amounts of proceeds for any of these purposes, and we will have significant flexibility in determining how much of the net proceeds we apply to different uses and the timing of such applications. There is a risk that we may fail to effectively use the net proceeds which could have a negative effect on our future profitability ratios.

Table of Contents

Our New Stock Benefit Plans Will Be Dilutive

If the conversion and offering are completed and shareholders subsequently approve a stock recognition and retention plan and a stock option plan, we will allocate stock or make grants to our officers, employees and directors through these plans. If the shares for the stock recognition and retention plan are issued from our authorized but unissued stock, the ownership percentage of outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp would be diluted by approximately 1.3%, assuming completion of the conversion and offering at the midpoint and completion of the merger. However, it is our intention to purchase shares of our common stock in the open market to fund the stock recognition and retention plan. Assuming the shares of our common stock to be awarded under the stock recognition and retention plan are purchased at a price equal to the offering price, $10.00 per share, the reduction to stockholders' equity from the stock recognition and retention plan would be between $418,000 and $650,000 at the minimum and the maximum, as adjusted, of the offering range. The ownership percentage of Home Federal Bancorp shareholders would also decrease by approximately 3.3% if all potential stock options under our proposed stock option plan are exercised and are filled using shares issued from authorized but unissued stock, assuming the offering closes at the midpoint of the offering range. On a combined basis, if authorized but unissued shares of our common stock was the source of shares for both the recognition and retention plan and the stock option plan, the interests of shareholders would be diluted by approximately 4.6%. See "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data" for data on the dilutive effect of the stock recognition and retention plan and the stock option plan after completion of the conversion and offering and the merger and "Management – New Stock Benefit Plans" for a description of the plans. In addition, options covering 262,368 shares of either Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares are outstanding as of the date hereof. Assuming the offering is completed at the midpoint of the estimated valuation range and applying the merger exchange ratio to options to purchase First Louisiana Bancshares shares, options covering 377,011 shares of new holding company common stock will be outstanding after completion of the conversion and offering and the merger assuming none of First Louisiana Bancshares' options are exercised.

The Market for the Stock of Financial Institutions Has Been Unusually Volatile Recently and Our Stock Price May Decline When Trading Commences

If you purchase shares in the offering, there is a risk that you will not be able to sell them at or above the $10.00 purchase price. The trading price of the common stock will be determined by the marketplace, and will be influenced by many factors outside of our control, including prevailing interest rates, investor perceptions, securities analyst research reports and general industry, geopolitical and economic conditions. Publicly traded stocks, including stocks of financial institutions, have recently experienced substantial market price volatility. These market fluctuations might not be related to the operating performance of particular companies whose shares are traded. Furthermore, we may experience market fluctuations that are not directly related to our operating performance but are influenced by the market's perception of the state of the financial services industry in general and, in particular, the market's assessment of the credit quality conditions, including default and foreclosure rates in the industry.

Subscribers Who Purchase In the Offering Will Have Their Interests Diluted By the Issuance of Exchange Shares in the Merger

Upon completion of the merger, approximately 60% of the issued and outstanding shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock will be converted into shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock at the rate of 2.8 shares of new holding company stock for each share of First Louisiana Bancshares or an aggregate of 1,472,525 shares assuming all outstanding First Louisiana Bancshares options have been exercised. The issuance of the merger exchange shares will dilute the interests of purchasers in the conversion and offering by approximately 35.3% and 26.0% at the minimum and the maximum, as adjusted, respectively, of the offering range.

There May Be a Limited Market for Our Common Stock, Which May Adversely Affect Our Stock Price

Currently, shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Since Home Federal Bancorp common stock began trading in January 2005, trading in our shares has been relatively limited. If an active trading market for our common stock does not develop following the conversion and offering when we expect to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, you may not be able to sell all of your shares of common stock in an efficient manner and the sale of a large number of shares at one time could temporarily depress the market price. There also may be a wide spread between the bid and asked price for our common stock. When there is a wide spread between the bid and asked price, the price at which you may be able to sell our common stock may be significantly lower than the price at which you could buy it at that time.

Table of Contents

We Intend to Remain Independent Which May Mean You Will Not Receive a Premium for Your Common Stock

We intend to remain independent for the foreseeable future. Pursuant to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, the new holding company cannot be acquired within the first three years following the conversion and offering without prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Office of Thrift Supervision has a long-standing policy of not permitting institutions to enter into an acquisition transaction within three years following a conversion in order to ensure sufficient time for the company to prudently deploy the capital raised in the conversion. Because we do not plan on seeking possible acquirors, it is unlikely that we will be acquired in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, you should not purchase our common stock with any expectation that a takeover premium will be paid to you in the near term.

Our Stock Value May Suffer from Anti-Takeover Provisions In Our Corporate Documents, Federal Regulations and Louisiana Law that May Impede Potential Takeovers that Management Opposes

Provisions in our corporate documents, as well as certain federal regulations and Louisiana law, may make it difficult and expensive to pursue a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that our board of directors opposes. As a result, our shareholders may not have an opportunity to participate in such a transaction, and the trading price of our stock may not rise to the level of other institutions that are more vulnerable to hostile takeovers. Anti-takeover provisions contained in our corporate documents include:

restrictions on acquiring more than 10% of our common stock by any person and limitations on voting rights for positions of more than 10%;

the election of members of the board of directors to staggered three-year terms;

the absence of cumulative voting by shareholders in the election of directors;

provisions restricting the calling of special meetings of shareholders;

advance notice requirements for shareholder nominations and new business;

removals of directors without cause by a 75% vote of shareholders and with cause by a majority vote of all shareholders;

requirement of a 75% vote of shareholders for certain amendments to the bylaws and certain provisions of the articles of incorporation;

supermajority vote requirement for the approval of certain business combinations not approved by the board of directors; and

our ability to issue preferred stock and additional shares of common stock without shareholder approval.

For three years following the conversion and offering, Office of Thrift Supervision regulations prohibit any person from acquiring or offering to acquire more than 10% of the new holding company's common stock without the prior written approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Accordingly, the range of potential acquirors for Home Federal Bancorp will be limited which will correspondingly reduce the likelihood that shareholders will be able to realize a gain on their investment through an acquisition of Home Federal Bancorp in the near term.

SUMMARY SELECTED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

The following table shows selected financial information on a pro forma condensed consolidated basis giving effect to the merger and the stock offering assuming the offering is completed at the maximum, as adjusted, of the offering range based on the assumptions set forth below. The pro forma unaudited consolidated financial statements give effect to the merger as if this transaction had become effective at the end of each of the periods presented, in the case of balance sheet information, and at the beginning of each of the periods presented, in the case of income statement information.

We anticipate that the merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that include, on a combined basis, operating expenses that would be less than the institutions operating independently and the opportunity to earn more revenue. The pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect these benefits and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies and financial institutions been combined as of the date and during the period presented.

You should read this summary pro forma information in conjunction with the information under "Pro Forma Data."

Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure at March 31, 2008 and 2007 and June 30, 2007. Non-performing loans consist of non-accruing loans plus accruing loans 90 days or more past due. Home Federal Savings and Loan did not have any troubled debt restructurings at March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007 and did not have any real estate owned at June 30, 2007. At March 31, 2008, Home Federal Savings and Loan had real estate acquired through foreclosure with a carrying value of $33,000.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007

At March 31, 2008, total assets amounted to $138.7 million compared to $118.8 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately $19.9 million, or 16.8%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 million, or 40.0%, and an increase in loans receivable of $2.5 million, or 9.4% and an increase in investment securities of $16.9 million or 19.8%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Home Federal Bancorp’s deferred tax asset of $1.5 million.

Home Federal Bancorp’s total liabilities amounted to $107.4 million at March 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $16.4 million, or 18.0%, compared to total liabilities of $91.0 million at June 30, 2007. The primary reason for the increase in liabilities was due to the $1.6 million, or 2.1%, increase of customers’ deposits due to normal deposits inflow, and a $14.7 million, or 118.5%, increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Stockholders’ equity increased $3.5 million, or 12.6%, to $31.3 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $27.8 million at June 30, 2007. This increase was primarily the result of the change in Home Federal Bancorp’s Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss associated with securities available-for-sale of $3.1 million, the recognition of net income of $375,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, and the distribution of shares associated with Home Federal Bancorp’s 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan of $156,000. These increases were offset by dividends of $199,000 paid during the nine months ended March 31, 2008, and the acquisition of treasury shares of $38,000.

Comparison of our Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

Net income amounted to $112,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $184,000 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $72,000, or 39.1%. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in net interest income and non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense. These were partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, net income amounted to $375,000, compared to $516,000 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $141,000, or 27.3%. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in net interest income and non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense. These were partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $709,000, a decrease of $82,000, or 10.4%, in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was due primarily to the increase in Home Federal Bancorp’s cost of funds, partially offset by an increase in total interest income.

Net interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, was $2.3 million, a decrease of $120,000, or 5.1%, in comparison to the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was due primarily to the increase in interest expense incurred on deposit accounts and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, partially offset by an increase in total interest income.

Home Federal Bancorp’s average interest rate spread was 1.53% and 1.62% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 1.76% and 1.85% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007. Home Federal Bancorp’s net interest margin was 2.22% and 2.44% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 2.66% and 2.72% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in net interest income and net interest margin is attributable primarily to the increase in interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and average cost associated with deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Table of Contents

Based on an analysis of historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by Home Federal Savings and Loan, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to Home Federal Savings and Loan’s market area and other factors related to the collectibility of Home Federal Savings and Loan’s loan portfolio, no provisions for loan losses were made during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008 or 2007. Home Federal Savings and Loan’s allowance for loan losses was $235,000, or 0.81% of total loans, at March 31, 2008 compared to $235,000, or 0.9% of total loans at March 31, 2007. At March 31, 2008, Home Federal Savings and Loan had non-performing loans of $19,000 and other non-performing assets of $33,000. Home Federal Savings and Loan did not have any non-performing loans at March 31, 2007. There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be sufficient to cover losses on non-performing assets in the future.

Total non-interest income amounted to $63,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $77,000 for the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $12,000 in gain on sale of investments and a decrease of $2,000 in gain on sale of loans.

Total non-interest income amounted to $183,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $228,000 for the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in gain on sale of securities and other income.

Total non-interest expense increased $12,000, or 2.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the prior year period. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits expense of $29,000, or 8.0%, over the prior year period partially offset by a decrease in franchise and bank shares tax of $13,000, or 33.3%, and a decrease in advertising expense.

Total non-interest expense increased $50,000, or 2.7%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $66,000, or 5.9%, in compensation and benefits expense, and an increase in audit and professional fees of $8,000, offset by a decrease in occupancy and equipment expense of $9,000 and a decrease in franchise and bank shares tax of $16,000.

The increase in compensation and benefits expenses was a result of normal compensation increases including increased recognition and retention plan expense due to the acceleration of vesting of awards during the six months following the death of a participant. Compensation expense recognized by Home Federal Bancorp for its 2005 Stock Option Plan and 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan amounted to $15,087 and $31,419, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and $47,533 and $117,794, respectively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Effective January 1, 2006, Home Federal Bancorp, through its subsidiary Home Federal Savings and Loan, became subject to the Louisiana bank shares tax. This tax is assessed on Home Federal Savings and Loan’s equity and earnings. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, Home Federal Bancorp recognized franchise and bank shares tax expense of $24,200 and $96,800, respectively.

Income taxes amounted to $58,000 and $95,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 34.0% and 33.9%, respectively. Income taxes amounted to $192,000 and $265,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.9% and 34.0%, respectively.

Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and other real estate owned at March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007. Non-performing loans consist of non-accruing loans plus accruing loans 90 days or more past due. First Louisiana Bank had other real estate owned at March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 of $2.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, troubled debt restructurings amounted to $1.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007

Our total assets were $121.3 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $123.1 million at December 31, 2007. The reason for the $1.8 million, or 1.5%, decrease in total assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was the combination of a decrease in both loans receivable as well as investment securities. Net loans receivable decreased by $600,000, or 0.7%, to $83.9 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $84.5 million at December 31, 2007. Investment securities decreased by $1.4 million or 8.3% to $15.2 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $16.6 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease in investment securities during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was due to normal amortization and re-payments.

Our total deposits amounted to $87.9 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $92.8 million at December 31, 2007. The primary reason for the $4.9 million, or 5.3%, decrease was a decrease of $5.7 million in time deposits. This decrease was partially caused by $1.8 million of brokered time deposits maturing during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. These brokered time deposits were originally purchased in 2004, at a time when loan demand was much higher. In addition, we chose not to renew $2.5 million of public funds time deposits which matured in January 2008. Other interest-bearing public funds deposits totaling of $1.6 million at December 31, 2007 were depleted during the first quarter 2008. These deposits are seasonal and held for the local taxing authority, and are only deposited during property tax collection season, which generally runs from December to February. The foregoing decreases in interest-bearing deposits were partially offset by an increase of $2.2 million in demand deposits combined with an increase of $3.6 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Borrowings decreased from $12.4 million at December 31, 2007 to $11.6 million at March 31, 2008, a 6.9% decrease. This decrease was due to normal monthly principal pay downs on term advances at the Federal Home Loan Bank.

At March 31, 2008, stockholders’ equity totaled $11.5 million compared to $11.2 million at December 31, 2007. The $264,000 increase reflected the combined effects of $185,000 net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and the $79,000 increase in net unrealized gains on securities available for sale between December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008.

Comparison of Our Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

Our net income was $185,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $256,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The primary reason for the $71,000, or 27.7%, decrease in net income was an increase in non-interest expense. The increase of $136,000 in non-interest expense was due to several factors, including a $48,000 increase in personnel expense, resulting from an increase in the number of employees since March 31, 2007, as well as normal salary adjustments. In addition, there was an $89,000 increase in other operating expenses, including a $17,000 increase in FDIC deposit assessments. The increase in non-interest expense was partially offset by a $34,000 increase in net interest income.

Our total interest income was $2.04 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.97 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The $69,000 increase in interest income was due primarily to a $51,000 increase in interest earned on loans in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007. The average yield on our total interest-earning assets was 7.91% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to 8.25% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, reflecting the effects of the decreases in recent periods in market rates of interest.

Table of Contents

Our total interest expense was $710,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $675,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, a $35,000, or 5.2%, increase primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average rate paid on our total interest-bearing liabilities was 3.52% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to 3.50% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Our interest rate spread and net interest margin were 4.40% and 5.16%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to 4.75% and 5.43%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Like most financial institutions, we are experiencing the effects of interest rate compression. Our return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.63% and 6.52%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to 0.95% and 9.91%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Our provision for loan losses was $140,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $150,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. We had $9,000 of net charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to $26,000 of net charge-offs in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Net charge-offs to average loans was 0.04% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to 0.13% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2008 was $1.0 million.

Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans, and non-performing assets as a percent of total assets were 0.89% and 2.53%, respectively, at March 31, 2008 compared to 2.50% and 2.84%, respectively, at March 31, 2007. The decease in non-performing loans was due to increased collection efforts in the latter part of 2007 as well as the transfer of a $1.2 million non-performing real estate loan to other real estate owned. At March 31, 2008, other real estate owned totalled $2.3 million consisting of five commercial and two residential properties, all of which are being actively marketed for sale. First Louisiana Bancshares does not expect to incur any material losses on the disposition of such properties.

Income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was $65,000 compared to $80,000 for the same period in 2007. This difference was primarily due to the lower amount of pre-tax income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2007. Our effective tax rate was 26.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to 23.8% for the quarter March 31, 2007.

HOW OUR NET PROCEEDS WILL BE USED

The following table shows how we intend to use the net proceeds of the offering. The actual net proceeds will depend on the number of shares of common stock sold in the offering and the expenses incurred in connection with the offering and the merger . Payments for shares made through withdrawals from deposit accounts at Home Federal Savings and Loan will reduce Home Federal Savings and Loan's deposits and will not result in the receipt of new funds for investment. See "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data" for the assumptions used to arrive at these amounts.

_________________________

(1)

If Home Federal Bancorp does not receive orders for at least 1,360,000 shares in the offering, then, in Home Federal Bancorp's discretion in order to issue the minimum number of shares necessary to complete the conversion and offering, up to 204,000 unsubscribed shares may be issued to stockholders of First Louisiana Bancshares as merger consideration.

(2)

Approximately $8.8 million (or up to $9.8 million if all outstanding options to purchase First Louisiana Bancshares common stock are exercised before the merger is completed) of the funds contributed to Home Federal Savings and Loan will be used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price for First Louisiana Bancshares. Any difference between the $8.8 million and the cash proceeds contributed to Home Federal Savings and Loan from the offering will come from existing assets of Home Federal Savings and Loan.

(3)	Includes $345,000 and $718,000, respectively, of non-tax deductible merger costs and tax deductible merger costs.

Table of Contents

The primary use of the net proceeds will be to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration paid to First Louisiana Bancshares. The new holding company will retain 50% of the net proceeds of the offering, with the remaining 50% being contributed to Home Federal Savings and Loan, and intends to initially invest 100% of the proceeds it retains (other than the amount used to fund the employee stock ownership plan loan) in short-term, liquid investments. The actual amounts to be invested in different instruments will depend on the interest rate environment and the new holding company’s liquidity needs. Although there can be no assurance that we will invest the net proceeds in anything other than short-term, liquid investments, over time, the new holding company may use the proceeds it retains from the offering:

to invest in securities;

to pay dividends to shareholders;

to repurchase shares of its common stock, subject to regulatory restrictions;

to finance the possible acquisition of financial institutions or branch offices or other businesses that are related to banking; and

for general corporate purposes.

In addition, the new holding company will use a portion of the proceeds it retains to make quarterly interest payments on the $4.1 million of subordinated debentures that it will assume in the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. Such debentures bear interest at the three month LIBOR rate plus 180 basis points, adjusted quarterly. At December 31, 2007, the rate on the debentures was 6.79063%.

Under current Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, the new holding company may not repurchase shares of its common stock during the first year following the conversion and offering, except to fund recognition plans that have been ratified by shareholders or tax qualified employee stock benefit plans or, with prior regulatory approval, when extraordinary circumstances exist.

Home Federal Savings and Loan intends to use a substantial portion or all of the net proceeds it receives to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration being paid to acquire First Louisiana Bancshares. To the extent any net proceeds remain, which will only be the case if the offering is completed at maximum of the offering range and outstanding options to purchase First Louisiana Bancshares common stock are not exercised prior to completion of the merger, Home Federal Savings and Loan will initially purchase investment and mortgage-backed securities and in the future, may use the additional proceeds that it receives from the offering to fund new loans, both residential and commercial , or for other general corporate purposes.

We may need regulatory approvals to engage in some of the activities listed above. We currently have no specific plans or agreements regarding any expansion activities or acquisitions other than the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. Except as described above, neither the new holding company nor Home Federal Savings and Loan has any specific plans for the investment of the proceeds of this offering and has not allocated a specific portion of the proceeds to any particular use.

WE INTEND TO CONTINUE TO PAY QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDENDS

Home Federal Bancorp has paid quarterly cash dividends since the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Home Federal Bancorp's current quarterly dividend is $0.06 per share. After we complete the conversion and the merger, dividends will be paid by the new holding company on its outstanding shares of common stock. We currently expect that the level of cash dividends per share after the conversion and offering will be substantially consistent with the current amount of dividends of $0.06 per share. However, the rate of such dividends and the initial or continued payment thereof will be in the discretion of the board of directors of the new holding company and will depend upon a number of factors, including the amount of net proceeds retained by us in the offering, investment opportunities available to us, capital requirements, our financial condition and results of operations, tax considerations, statutory and regulatory limitations, and general economic conditions. No assurance can be given that we will continue to pay dividends or that they will not be reduced or eliminated in the future. In addition, during the first three years after the conversion and offering, no dividend will be declared or paid if it would be classified as a return of capital.

Dividends from the new holding company may eventually depend, primarily upon receipt of dividends from Home Federal Savings and Loan, because the new holding company initially will have no source of income other than dividends from Home Federal Savings and Loan, earnings from the investment of proceeds from the sale of common stock retained by us, and interest payments with respect to our loan to our employee stock ownership plan.

Table of Contents

Home Federal Savings and Loan's ability to pay dividends to the new holding company will be governed by the Home Owners' Loan Act, as amended, and the regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. In addition, the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision will be required for the payment of a dividend if the total of all dividends declared by Home Federal Savings and Loan in any calendar year would exceed the total of its net profits for the year combined with its net profits for the two preceding years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock. In addition, Home Federal Savings and Loan will be prohibited from paying cash dividends to the new holding company to the extent that any such payment would reduce Home Federal Savings and Loan's regulatory capital below required capital levels or would impair the liquidation account to be established for the benefit of Home Federal Savings and Loan's eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders. See "The Conversion and Offering – Liquidation Rights."

Any payment of dividends by Home Federal Savings and Loan to the new holding company which would be deemed to be drawn out of Home Federal Savings and Loan's bad debt reserves would require a payment of taxes at the then-current tax rate by Home Federal Savings and Loan on the amount of earnings deemed to be removed from the reserves for such distribution. Home Federal Savings and Loan does not intend to make any distribution to the new holding company that would create such a federal tax liability. See "Taxation."

Unlike Home Federal Savings and Loan, the new holding company is not subject to the above regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends to our shareholders. Under Louisiana law, the new holding company generally may pay dividends out of surplus, or if no surplus is available, may pay dividends out of its net profits for the current or preceding fiscal year or both.

HOME FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN MEETS ALL OF ITS REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

At December 31, 2007, Home Federal Savings and Loan exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements. The table below sets forth Home Federal Savings and Loan's historical capital under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and regulatory capital at December 31, 2007, and the pro forma capital of Home Federal Savings and Loan assuming completion of the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares and after giving effect to the offering. The pro forma capital amounts reflect the receipt by Home Federal Savings and Loan of 50.0% of the net offering proceeds other than at the minimum, as adjusted, which reflects the use of merger shares to complete the offering. The pro forma risk-based capital amounts assume the investment of the net proceeds received by Home Federal Savings and Loan remaining after payment of the cash portion of the merger consideration in assets which have a risk-weight of 20% under applicable regulations, as if such net proceeds had been received and so applied at December 31, 2007.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table presents the historical capitalization of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares at December 31, 2007, and the capitalization of Home Federal Bancorp after giving effect to the offering proceeds and the merger (referred to as "pro forma" information). The table depicts adjustments to capitalization resulting from the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares and then depicts Home Federal Bancorp's capitalization following the merger and the offering at the minimum, as adjusted, minimum, midpoint, maximum and maximum, as adjusted, of the offering range. The pro forma capitalization gives effect to the assumptions listed under "Pro Forma Data," based on the sale of the number of shares of common stock indicated in the table. A change in the number of shares to be issued in the offering may materially affect pro forma capitalization. We are offering our common stock on a best efforts basis. We must sell a minimum of 1,360,000 shares to complete the offering which may include up to 204,000 shares allocated to First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders as merger consideration.

(3)	Gives effect to the issuance of 204,000 unsubscribed conversion shares to First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders as merger consideration to complete the offering.

(4)	Does not reflect withdrawals from deposit accounts for the purchase of common stock in the offering. Such withdrawals would reduce pro forma deposits and assets by the amount of such withdrawals.

(5)

The pro forma amounts of common stock and additional paid-in capital have been increased to reflect the number of shares of common stock to be outstanding, which includes the exchange of all of the currently outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock pursuant to the exchange ratio, as well as shares to be issued in the merger. No effect has been given to the issuance of additional shares of common stock pursuant to our proposed stock option plan. We intend to adopt a new stock option plan and to submit such plan to shareholders at a meeting of shareholders to be held at least six months following completion of the conversion and offering. If the stock option plan is approved by shareholders, an amount equal to approximately 7.68% of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock sold in the offering will be reserved for the stock option plan. Your ownership percentage would decrease by approximately 4.85% if all potential stock options are exercised from our authorized but unissued stock. See "Pro Forma Data" and "Management - New Stock Benefit Plans – Stock Option Plan." In addition, all treasury stock of Home Federal Bancorp will be cancelled in connection with the consummation of the conversion and the offering and the merger.

(6)

The retained earnings of Home Federal Savings and Loan will be partially restricted after the offering. Home Federal Savings and Loan will be prohibited from paying cash dividends to Home Federal Bancorp to the extent that any such payment would reduce Home Federal Savings and Loan's regulatory capital levels below its minimum regulatory capital levels or would impair the liquidation account to be established for the benefit of eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders of Home Federal Savings and Loan. See "Regulation – Regulation of Home Federal Savings and Loan Association – Capital Distributions."

(7)

Assumes that 4.0% of Home Federal Bancorp's common stock sold in the offering will be purchased by our employee stock ownership plan in addition to the shares already owned by the employee stock ownership plan. The common stock acquired by our employee stock ownership plan is reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity. Assumes the funds used to acquire our employee stock ownership plan shares will be borrowed from Home Federal Bancorp. See Note 1 to the tables set forth under "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data" and "Management-New Stock Benefit Plans - Employee Stock Ownership Plan."

(8)

Gives effect to the recognition and retention plan which we expect to adopt after the conversion and offering and present to shareholders for approval at a meeting of shareholders to be held at least six months after we complete the offering. No shares will be purchased by the recognition and retention plan in the conversion and offering, and such plan cannot purchase any shares until shareholder approval has been obtained. If the recognition and retention plan is approved by our shareholders, the plan intends to acquire an amount of common stock equal to approximately 3.07% of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock sold in the offering. The funds to enable such purchases will be provided by New Home Federal Bancorp. The table assumes that shareholder approval has been obtained and that such shares are purchased in the open market at $10.00 per share. The common stock so acquired by the recognition plan is reflected as a reduction in stockholders' equity. If the shares are purchased at prices higher or lower than the initial purchase price of $10.00 per share, such purchases would have a greater or lesser impact, respectively, on stockholders' equity. If the recognition and retention plan purchases authorized but unissued shares from Home Federal Bancorp such issuance would dilute the voting interests of existing shareholders by approximately 1.94%. See "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data" and "Management - New Stock Benefit Plans – Recognition and Retention Plan."

The following pro forma unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and the pro forma unaudited consolidated statements of income give effect to the proposed offering and the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares, based on the assumptions set forth below. The pro forma unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based, in part, on the audited consolidated financial statements of Home Federal Bancorp for the year ended June 30, 2007, the unaudited consolidated financial statements of First Louisiana Bancshares for the 12 months ended June 30, 2007 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The pro forma unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the offering at historical cost and the merger using purchase accounting as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The pro forma adjustments in the tables assume the issuance of 1,360,000 shares, which is the minimum of the offering range, and 2,116,000 shares, which is the maximum of the offering range, as adjusted, in the offering and the merger. First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders will receive in the merger $28.00 in cash or 2.8 shares of the new holding company's common stock for each share of First Louisiana Bancshares stock, or a combination thereof, with the aggregate amount of common stock being issued in the merger equal to 60.0% of the merger consideration required by the terms of the merger agreement. The remainder of the merger consideration will consist of cash. For a more detailed discussion of how many shares will be issued in connection with the offering and the merger, see the analysis set forth below. The purchase price for purposes of the pro forma presentation for First Louisiana Bancshares was calculated as follows:

____________________

(1)

The non-tax deductible merger costs and the tax deductible merger costs have been or will be incurred in the first twelve months following consummation of the offering and merger.

(2)

Loans, deposits and borrowings adjustments reflect the market value adjustment assigned to each class of these items. For loans receivable, the purchase accounting adjustments were calculated as the present value difference between the yields of acquired loans and market rates for similar loans as of December 31, 2007. For deposits and borrowings, the purchase accounting adjustments were calculated as the present value difference between the interest costs of the acquired liabilities and market interest costs for liabilities with comparable maturities as of December 31, 2007. For subordinated debt, the purchase adjustment was based on a market quote of fair value as of December 31, 2007 for the trust preferred securities being assumed in the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. Purchase accounting adjustments are amortized using the estimated lives of the respective assets and liabilities.

____________________

(3)

Estimated market value of land and buildings acquired in the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares.

(4)

Core deposit intangible was calculated to be $1.7 million. Core deposit intangible reflects the present value benefit to Home Federal Bancorp of utilizing the acquired core deposits as a funding source relative to wholesale funding costs based on the rates of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The core deposit intangible is calculated using deposit balances and interest rates as of December 31, 2007. Costs of the acquired core deposits include interest costs, plus estimated operating expenses, less estimated noninterest income to be derived from the core deposits. The yield benefit for each period is discounted to present value using a weighted average cost of capital. The core deposit intangible resulting from the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares will be amortized over an estimated life of 10 years. The core deposit intangible will be amortized using the sum of the years digits methodology, an accelerated amortization methodology that approximates the recognition of value from the acquired deposits and will be reviewed annually for impairment consistent with SFAS No. 142.

(5)

Home Federal Bancorp will report a pro forma balance of goodwill of $11.7 million at December 31, 2007 reflecting the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares. Goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested annually for impairment consistent with SFAS No. 142. Impairment is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. In the event of impairment, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

The net proceeds are based upon the following assumptions:

The new holding company will sell all shares of common stock in the subscription offering and community offering with no shares sold in a syndicated community offering nor through assisting brokers in the subscription and community offering;

The new holding company's employee stock ownership plan will purchase 4.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering at a price of $10.00 per share, with a loan from the new holding company;

expenses of the conversion and offering, other than the fees to be paid to Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P., are estimated to be $950,000;

20,300 shares of common stock will be purchased by Home Federal Bancorp's executive officers and directors, and their immediate families; and

Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. will receive a fee equal to 1.4% of the aggregate purchase price of the shares of common stock sold in the subscription and community offerings, excluding any shares purchased by any employee benefit plans, and any of Home Federal Bancorp's directors, officers or employees or members of their immediate families.

In addition, the expenses of the conversion and offering and the merger may vary from those estimated, and the fees paid to Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. will vary from the amounts estimated if the amount of shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock sold varies from the amounts assumed above or if a syndicated community offering becomes necessary. Additionally, certain one-time charges to operating results are expected to occur as a result of the merger following the conversion and offering and the merger, which expenses are currently estimated to be approximately $1.1 million, pre-tax. These items, net of income tax effects, are shown as a reduction in stockholders' equity in the following tables but are not shown as a reduction in net income for the periods shown in the following tables.

Pro forma net income has been calculated for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and for the year ended June 30, 2007 as if the shares of the new holding company's common stock to be issued in the offering had been sold and the merger exchange shares issued as of the beginning of each period. Historical and pro forma per share amounts have been calculated by dividing historical and pro forma amounts by the indicated number of shares of the new holding company's common stock.

The pro forma unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition assume the conversion and offering and the merger were consummated on December 31, 2007. The pro forma condensed unaudited consolidated statements of income assume that the conversion and offering and merger were consummated on July 1 of each indicated period.

Table of Contents

The pro forma unaudited statements are provided for informational purposes only. The pro forma financial information presented is not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved had the conversion and offering and the merger been consummated on December 31, 2007 or June 30, 2007 or at the beginning of the periods presented, and is not indicative of future results. The pro forma unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares contained elsewhere in this document.

The stockholders' equity represents the combined book value of the common shareholders' ownership of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America. This amount is not intended to represent fair market value nor does it represent amounts, if any, that would be available for distribution to shareholders in the event of liquidation. The book value for Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares on a historical and pro forma basis has not been changed to reflect any difference between the carrying value of investments held to maturity or loans held in portfolio and their market value.

The unaudited pro forma net income and common stockholders' equity derived from the above assumptions are qualified by the statements set forth under this caption and should not be considered indicative of the market value of Home Federal Bancorp common stock or the actual results of operations of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares for any period. Such pro forma data may be materially affected by the actual gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the new holding company in the conversion and offering and the actual expenses incurred in connection with the conversion and offering and the merger. See "How Our Net Proceeds Will Be Used."

Adjustments to record estimated interest income to be earned on the net proceeds of the offering and interest income to be foregone as a result of funding the cash portion of the merger consideration to stockholders of First Louisiana Bancshares will be recorded as incurred. In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, such adjustments are not reflected in the pro forma income statements and related per share calculations. The estimated interest income assuming the net cash proceeds of $13.2 million and $21.0 million from the conversion and offering at the minimum and maximum of the offering range, as adjusted, are invested at an average pre-tax yield of 3.34% and 4.91% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and the year ended June 30, 2007, respectively, would be approximately $220,000 and $648,000, respectively, at the minimum of the offering range and $350,000 and 1.0 million at the maximum of the offering range, as adjusted. The estimated reduction in interest income assuming funding requirements of $9.9 million for the merger and related expenses are invested at an average pre-tax yield of 3.34% and 4.91% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and the year ended June 30, 2007, respectively, would be approximately $165,000 and $486,000. The yields utilized approximate the yield on a one-year U.S. Treasury Bill adjusted to a constant maturity ("CMT") on December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. The additional issuance of shares pursuant to the recognition and retention plan and the additional issuance of options pursuant to the stock option plan are subject to stockholder approval. Since these estimates are speculative, they are not reflected in the pro forma income statements and related per share calculations.

(2)	Adjustment to record estimated employee stock ownership plan expense assuming shares are employee stock ownership plan shares are released based on the 15 year amortization term and that employee stock ownership plan shares are released at a value of $10.00 per share.

(3)	Accretion of loan discount from purchase accounting.

(4)	Amortization of deposit premium and borrowed funds premium, and accretion of subordinated debentures discount from purchase accounting.

(5)	Amortization of core deposit intangible over an estimated 10 years using the sum of the years digits method and additional depreciation expense with increased value of fixed assets.

Table of Contents

ADDITIONAL PRO FORMA CONVERSION DATA

The following tables show information about Home Federal Bancorp's and First Louisiana Bancshares' historical combined consolidated net income and stockholders' equity prior to the conversion and offering and the merger and the new holding company's pro forma consolidated net income and stockholders' equity following the conversion and offering and the merger. The information provided illustrates our consolidated pro forma net income and stockholders' equity based on the sale of common stock at the minimum, as adjusted, minimum, midpoint, maximum and 15% above the maximum of the offering range, respectively. In addition, the information illustrates the consolidated pro forma net income and stockholders' equity at the minimum, as adjusted, of the offering range, assuming that Home Federal Bancorp elects to use up to 204,000 of the merger shares to complete the offering. The actual net proceeds from the sale of the new holding company common stock in the offering cannot be determined until the offering is completed. However, the net proceeds are currently estimated to be between $14.2 million and $19.5 million, or up to $22.5 million in the event the offering range is increased by approximately 15%, based upon the following assumptions:

The new holding company will sell all shares of common stock in the subscription offering and community offering with no shares sold in a syndicated community offering, nor thorough assisting brokers in the subscription and community offering;

The new holding company's employee stock ownership plan will purchase an amount equal to 4.0% of the shares sold in the offering at a price of $10.00 per share with a loan from Home Federal Bancorp;

expenses of the conversion and offering, other than the fees to be paid to Sandler O'Neill are estimated to be $950,000;

20,300 shares of common stock will be purchased by Home Federal Bancorp's executive officers and directors and their immediate families; and

Sandler O'Neill will receive a fee equal to 1.4% of the aggregate purchase price of the shares of common stock sold in the offering, excluding any shares purchased by any employee benefit plans, and any of our directors, officers or employees or members of their immediate families.

We have prepared the following tables, which set forth our historical consolidated net income and stockholders' equity prior to the conversion and offering and the merger and our pro forma consolidated net income and stockholders' equity following the conversion and offering and the merger. In preparing these tables and in calculating pro forma data, the following assumptions have been made:

Pro forma earnings have been calculated assuming the conversion and offering and the merger had been completed at the beginning of the periods and the net proceeds of the offering had been invested at assumed rates of 3.34% and 4.91% for the year ended June 30, 2007 and the six months ended December 31, 2007, respectively, which approximates the yield on a one-year U.S. Treasury bill at such dates. We have used these assumed yields of 3.34% and 4.91% in lieu of the arithmetic average method because we believe it more accurately reflects the yield that we will receive on the net proceeds of the offering.

The pro forma after-tax yields on the net proceeds from the offering were assumed to be 2.20% and 3.29% for the year ended June 30, 2007 and six months ended December 31, 2007 based on an effective tax rate of 34.0%.

No withdrawals were made from Home Federal Savings and Loan's deposit accounts for the purchase of shares in the offering.

Historical and pro forma per share amounts have been calculated by dividing historical and pro forma amounts by the indicated number of shares of common stock, as adjusted in the pro forma net income per share to give effect to the purchase of shares by the employee stock ownership plan.

Table of Contents

Pro forma stockholders' equity amounts have been calculated as if the conversion and offering and the merger had been completed on June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 and no effect has been given to the assumed earnings effect of the transactions.

The following pro forma information may not be representative of the financial effects of the conversion and offering and the merger at the date on which the offering actually occurs and should not be taken as indicative of future results of operations. Pro forma stockholders' equity represents the difference between the stated amount of our assets and liabilities computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Stockholders' equity does not give effect to intangible assets in the event of a liquidation, to Home Federal Savings and Loan's bad debt reserve or to the liquidation account to be maintained by Home Federal Savings and Loan. The pro forma stockholders' equity is not intended to represent the fair market value of the common stock and may be different than amounts that would be available for distribution to shareholders in the event of liquidation.

We are offering our common stock on a best efforts basis. We must issue a minimum of 1,360,000 shares in the conversion and offering and in connection with the merger to complete the transactions. This minimum issuance may include up to 204,000 shares to be issued to First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders as merger consideration.

The tables on the following pages summarize historical consolidated data of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bancorp's pro forma data at or for the dates and periods indicated based on the assumptions set forth above and in the tables and should not be used as a basis for projection of the market value of the common stock following the conversion and offering and the merger.

Assumes that the employee stock ownership plan will acquire a number of shares equal to 4.0% of Home Federal Bancorp's common stock to be sold in the conversion and offering. The employee stock ownership plan will borrow the funds used to acquire these shares from the net proceeds of the offering retained by Home Federal Bancorp. The amount of this borrowing has been reflected as a reduction from gross proceeds to determine estimated net investable proceeds. This borrowing will have an interest rate of 7.25%, and a term of 15 years. Home Federal Savings and Loan intends to make contributions to the employee stock ownership plan in amounts at least equal to the principal and interest requirement of the debt. Interest income that Home Federal Bancorp will earn on the loan will offset the interest paid on the loan by Home Federal Savings and Loan. As the debt is paid down, shares will be released for allocation to participants' accounts and shareholders' equity will be increased.

The adjustment to pro forma net income for the employee stock ownership plan reflects the after-tax compensation expense associated with the plan, based on an assumed effective tax rate of 34.0%. Applicable accounting principles require that compensation expense for the employee stock ownership plan be based upon shares committed to be released and that unallocated shares be excluded from earnings per share computations. An equal number of shares (6.7% of the total, based on a 15-year loan) will be released each year over the term of the loan. The valuation of shares committed to be released would be based upon the average market value of the shares during the year, which, for purposes of this calculation, was assumed to be equal to the $10.00 per share purchase price. If the average market value per share is greater than $10.00 per share, total employee stock ownership plan expense would be greater.

(2)

Assumes that Home Federal Bancorp will purchase in the open market a number of shares equal to 3.07% of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock sold in the offering, that will be reissued as restricted stock awards under the recognition and retention plan proposed to be adopted following the conversion and offering. Repurchases will be funded with cash on hand at Home Federal Bancorp or with dividends paid to Home Federal Bancorp by Home Federal Savings and Loan. The cost of these shares has been reflected as a reduction from gross proceeds to determine estimated net investable proceeds. In calculating the pro forma effect of the restricted stock awards, it is assumed that the required shareholder approval has been received, that the shares used to fund the awards were acquired at the beginning of the respective period and that the shares were acquired at the $10.00 per share purchase price. The issuance of authorized but unissued shares of common stock instead of shares repurchased in the open market would dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders, by approximately 1.3%, assuming the midpoint of the offering range. The adjustment to pro forma net income for the restricted stock awards reflects the after-tax compensation expense associated with the awards. It is assumed that the fair market value of a share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock was $10.00 at the time the awards were made, that all shares were granted in the first year after the conversion and offering, that shares of restricted stock issued under the recognition and retention plan vest over a five-year period, or 20% per year, that compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over each vesting period so that 20% of the value of the shares awarded was an amortized expense during each year, and that the combined federal and state income tax rate was 34.0%. If the fair market value per share is greater than $10.00 per share on the date shares are awarded then, total recognition and retention plan expense would be greater.

(3)

Pro forma income on net investable proceeds is equal to the net proceeds less the cost of acquiring shares in the open market at the $10.00 per share purchase price to fund the employee stock ownership plan and the restricted stock awards under the recognition and retention plan multiplied by the after-tax reinvestment rate. The after-tax reinvestment rate is equal to 3.24% and 2.20% for the year ended June 30, 2007 and six months ended December 31, 2007, respectively, based on the following assumptions: combined federal and state income tax rate of 34.0% and a pre-tax reinvestment rate of 4.91% and 3.34% for the year ended June 30, 2007 and six months ended December 31, 2007, respectively.

(4)

The adjustment to pro forma net income for stock options reflects the compensation expense associated with the stock options (assuming no federal tax benefit) that may be granted under the new stock option plan to be adopted following the conversion and offering. If the new stock option plan is approved by shareholders, a number of shares equal to 7.68% of Home Federal Bancorp's common stock sold in the offering will be reserved for future issuance upon the exercise of stock options that may be granted under the plan. Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula, each option is assumed to have a value of $2.50 based on the following assumptions: exercise price, $10.00; trading price on date of grant, $10.00; dividend yield, 2.53%; expected life, six years; expected volatility, 21.30%; and risk-free interest rate, 4.04%. It is assumed that all stock options were granted in the first year after the offering, that stock options granted under the stock option plan vest over a five-year period, or 20.0% per year, that compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over each vesting period so that 20.0% of the value of the options awarded was an amortized expense during each year. If the fair market value per share is different than $10.00 per share on the date options are awarded under the stock option plan, or if the assumptions used in the option-pricing formula are different from those used in preparing this pro forma data, the value of the stock options and the related expense would be different. Applicable accounting standards do not prescribe a specific valuation technique to be used to estimate the fair value of employee stock options. Home Federal Bancorp may use a valuation technique other than the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and that technique may produce a different value. The issuance of authorized but unissued shares of common stock to satisfy option exercises instead of shares repurchased in the open market would dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders by approximately 3.3%, assuming the midpoint of the offering range.

(5)

The historical net income per share has been adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio of the additional shares to be issued by Home Federal Bancorp in exchange for the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock. As reported, the basic net income per share of Home Federal Bancorp for the year ended June 30, 2007 and six months ended December 31, 2007 was $0.19 and $0.08, respectively.

(6)

The number of shares used to calculate pro forma net income per share is equal to the total number of shares to be outstanding upon completion of the conversion and offering, less the number of shares purchased by the employee stock ownership plan not committed to be released within one year following the conversion and offering. The number of shares used to calculate pro forma shareholders' equity per share is equal to the total number of shares to be outstanding upon completion of the conversion and offering.

(7)	Includes $13.3 million of goodwill and core deposit intangibles resulting from the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares.

(8)	Includes 1,324,720 shares issued to shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares in the merger.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF HOME FEDERAL BANCORP

General

Home Federal Bancorp's profitability depends primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend income on interest-earning assets, principally loans, investment securities and interest-earning deposits in other institutions, and interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. Net interest income is dependent upon the level of interest rates and the extent to which such rates are changing. Home Federal Bancorp's profitability also depends, to a lesser extent, on non-interest income, provision for loan losses, non-interest expenses and federal income taxes.

Historically, our business has consisted primarily of originating single-family real estate loans secured by property in our market area. Typically, single-family loans involve a lower degree of risk and carry a lower yield than commercial real estate, construction, commercial business and consumer loans. Our loans are primarily funded by certificates of deposit, which typically have a higher interest rate than passbook accounts. The combination of these factors along with our significant percentage of assets which are lower yielding securities, has resulted in low interest rate spreads and returns on equity. Due to the low interest rate environment in recent years, a significant amount of our loans have been refinanced. Rather than reinvest the proceeds from these refinancings in long-term, low yielding loans, we have invested in marketable securities in order to position ourselves more favorably for a rising interest rate environment. Because investment securities generally yield less than loans, however, our net interest margin has been further pressured and our net interest income has remained stable at $3.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2007 and $3.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. Our net interest income was $1.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared to $1.6 million for the prior year period.

Home Federal Bancorp's operations and profitability are subject to changes in interest rates, applicable statutes and regulations and general economic conditions, as well as other factors beyond our control.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is focused on operating a growing and profitable community-oriented financial institution. The acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares is an integral component of such strategy. As a result of the merger we expect to:

Grow and Diversify Our Loan Portfolio by, among other things, increasing our origination of commercial real estate and business loans. Home Federal Bancorp’s traditional lending activity has been concentrated on the origination of single-family residential loans and, to a lesser degree, consumer loans. The acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares will assist us in our goal to develop a loan portfolio more consistent with that of a community bank. First Louisiana Bancshares’ primary lending activity is the origination of commercial real estate and business loans. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares’ commercial real estate loans amounted to $45.8 million, or 53.6% of its total loan portfolio, and its commercial business loans amounted to $26.7 million or 31.3% of its total loan portfolio. On a pro forma basis, as if the merger had been completed as of December 31, 2007, commercial real estate and business loans will account for 63.9% of our total loan portfolio. Commercial real estate, commercial business, construction and development and consumer loans all typically have higher yields and are more interest sensitive than long-term single-family residential mortgage loans. We plan to continue to grow and diversify our loan portfolio subsequent to the merger, and we intend to continue to grow our holdings of commercial real estate and business loans. In addition, the net proceeds to be received from the reorganization and offering will increase our loan-to-one borrower limits, which will permit us to originate and retain larger balance, commercial real estate and business loans.

Strengthen Our Management Team. As part of Home Federal Bancorp’s intent to transform itself to be more like a community bank, the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares gives Home Federal Bancorp the opportunity to obtain the services of several experienced commercial lenders including Mr. Thomas Glass, currently the chief lending officer of First Louisiana Bancshares, as well as two other experienced senior commercial lending officers with a combined total of more than 100 years of commercial lending experience.

Diversify Our Products and Services. The acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares also addresses the intent of Home Federal Bancorp to expand its products and services, particularly with respect to loan products. Home Federal Bancorp has not been in a position to offer to its customers commercial real estate and business loans. As discussed above, the merger will result in Home Federal Bancorp obtaining the services of several experienced commercial lenders which will allow us to offer to our customers and to the marketplace commercial loan products which we believe will materially improve our competitive position in our market area. The merger also enables us to expand our involvement in construction and land lending. The merger with First Louisiana Bancshares also will provide Home Federal with a significant increase in non-interest bearing checking accounts due to the nature of First Louisiana Bancshares’ commercial lending activities. Consequently, after the merger we intend to emphasize increasing the amount of our checking accounts due to the ability to provide full-service banking relationships to commercial customers.

Enhancing Core Earnings. The acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares is expected to improve Home Federal Bancorp’s interest rate spread due to the infusion of the substantial amount of commercial real estate and business loans which generally bear interest rates higher than residential real estate loans (the primary component of Home Federal Bancorp’s current loan portfolio) as well as the typical investment securities invested in by Home Federal Bancorp including mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Government and agency securities. The weighted average yield on First Louisiana Bancshares’ loan portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 8.87% as compared to 6.81% for Home Federal Bancorp for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The average interest rate spread for First Louisiana Bancshares for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 4.29% as compared to 1.66% for Home Federal Bancorp for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Likewise, the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares will also result in the infusion of a significant amount of low cost deposits including non-interest-bearing checking accounts which will result in a reduction in Home Federal Bancorp’s weighted average cost of its deposits, the primary component of its interest expense.

Expanding our franchise in our market area and contiguous communities. We intend to pursue opportunities to expand our market area by opening additional de novo banking offices and possibly, through acquisitions of other financial institutions and banking related businesses (although we have no current plans, understandings or agreements with respect to any specific acquisitions). We expect to focus on contiguous areas to our current locations in Caddo and Bossier Parishes.

Strengthening Our Asset Quality. We expect to strengthen our asset quality. At December 31, 2007, our non-performing assets totalled $52,000 or 0.4% of total assets. At the same date, First Louisiana Bancshares’ total non-performing assets totalled $2.6 million or 2.1% of total assets. A substantial majority of First Louisiana Bancshares’ non-performing assets consists of other real estate owned, all of which are commercial properties. We intend to continue to aggressively address the resolution of our non-performing assets. We also intend to continue to stress maintaining high asset quality after the conversion and offering and the merger even as we continue to grow our institution. Neither Home Federal Bancorp nor First Louisiana Bancshares has any exposure to the sub-prime market for mortgage loans.

Critical Accounting Policies

In reviewing and understanding financial information for Home Federal Bancorp, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. These policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to Home Federal Bancorp's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. The following accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Loan Losses. We have identified the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses as a critical accounting policy where amounts are sensitive to material variation. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will cover known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the types and amount of loans in the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, and current economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including, among others, exposure at default, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impacted loans, value of collateral, estimated losses on our commercial and residential loan portfolios and general amounts for historical loss experience. All of these estimates may be susceptible to significant change as more information becomes available.

While management uses the best information available to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance. Historically, our estimates of the allowance for loan loss have not required significant adjustments from management's initial estimates. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. The Office of Thrift Supervision may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examinations. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from management's estimates, additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Realizing our deferred tax assets principally depends upon our achieving projected future taxable income. We may change our judgments regarding future profitability due to future market conditions and other factors. We may adjust our deferred tax asset balances if our judgments change.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007

At December 31, 2007, total assets amounted to $128.1 million compared to $118.8 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of approximately $9.3 million, or 7.8%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $11.0 million, or 276.6%, and an increase in loans receivable of $2.6 million, or 10.3%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Home Federal Bancorp's deferred tax asset of $1.2 million, or 80.6%, and a decrease in investment securities of $2.7 million, or 3.1%.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to proceeds received through deposits, principal payments on securities and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. The increase in loans receivable was primarily due to the purchase of first mortgage loans originated by another mortgage loan company. The purchased loans are from a mortgage originator located in Arkansas and are secured by one-to-four-family residential properties in predominantly rural areas of Louisiana and Arkansas, and to a lesser extent, Texas and Mississippi. While the purchased loans are originated as fixed rate loans, Home Federal receives an adjustable rate of interest. Under the terms of the loan agreements, the seller retains servicing rights and agrees to repurchase any loan that becomes more than 90 days delinquent for as long as such loans are outstanding. At December 31, 2007, the balance of purchased loans approximated $10.8 million, including $10.6 million of loans from the mortgage originator in Arkansas. The decrease in investment securities was primarily due to sale of securities, partially offset by an increase in the market value of securities available for sale and the purchase of new securities.

Table of Contents

Total liabilities amounted to $97.6 million at December 31, 2007 an increase of approximately $6.6 million, or 7.3%, compared to total liabilities of $91.0 million at June 30, 2007. The primary reason for the increase in liabilities was due to the $3.3 million, or 4.2%, increase of customers' deposits due to normal deposits inflow, and a $3.5 million, 28.8%, increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Stockholders' equity increased $2.6 million, or 9.5%, to $30.4 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $27.8 million at June 30, 2007. This increase was primarily the result of the reduction in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss associated with securities available-for-sale of $2.3 million, or 82.2%, the recognition of net income of $263,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007, and the distribution of shares associated with the Company's Recognition and Retention Plan of $156,000. These increases were offset by dividends of $147,000 paid during the six months ended December 31, 2007, and the acquisition of treasury shares of $38,000.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006

Total assets increased $4.8 million, or 4.2%, to $118.8 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $114.0 million at June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to an increase in loans receivable and held-for-sale of $5.8 million and partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $958,000 compared to the prior year period.

Loans receivable, net increased $4.3 million, or 20.6%, from $20.9 million at June 30, 2006 to $25.2 million at June 30, 2007. The increase in loans receivable, net was attributable primarily to an increase in one-to-four family residential loans of $3.0 million, and an increase in home equity and second mortgage loans of $1.2 million.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $958,000, or 18.3%, from $4.9 million at June 30, 2006 to $4.0 million at June 30, 2007. Securities available for sale remained stable from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007 at $83.7 million.

During the past two years, we have experienced significant loan prepayments due to the heavy volume of loan refinancing. However, when interest rates were at their cyclical lows, management was reluctant to invest in long-term, fixed rate mortgage loans for portfolio and instead sold the majority of the long-term, fixed rate mortgage loan production. During the past two years, we have attempted to strengthen our interest-rate risk position and favorably structure our balance sheet to take advantage of a rising rate environment by purchasing investment securities classified as available for sale.

Total liabilities increased $5.5 million, or 6.4%, from $85.5 million at June 30, 2006 to $91.0 million at June 30, 2007 due primarily to an increase in deposits of $6.4 million over the prior year period, partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million, or 7.5%, in FHLB advances. The increase in deposits was attributable primarily to increases in our certificates of deposit, due to increases in the rates paid on such accounts, as well as increases in non-interest bearing and NOW accounts, partially offset by decreases in money market and passbook savings accounts. Certificates of deposit increased $6.0 million, or 10.5%, from $57.0 million at June 30, 2006 to $63.0 million at June 30, 2007.

Stockholders' equity decreased $727,000, or 2.5%, to $27.8 million at June 30, 2007 due primarily to treasury stock acquisitions for fiscal 2007 of $1.6 million, partially offset by accumulated comprehensive income of $275,000 and net income of $637,000. The change in accumulated other comprehensive income was primarily due to the change in net unrealized loss on securities available for sale due to recent minor declines in interest rates.

The net unrealized loss on securities available for sale is affected by interest rate fluctuations. Generally, an increase in interest rates will have an adverse impact while a decrease in interest rates will have a positive impact.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006

General. For the six months ended December 31, 2007, net income amounted to $263,000, compared to $332,000 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $69,000, or 20.8%. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in net interest income and non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense. These were partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2007, was $1.5 million, a decrease of $37,000, or 2.3% , in comparison to the six months ended December 31, 2006. This decrease was due primarily to the increase in interest expense incurred on deposit accounts and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, partially offset by an increase in total interest income.

The average interest rate spread was 1.66% for the six months ended December 31, 2007, compared to 1.93% for the six months ended December 31, 2006. The net interest margin was 2.55% for the six months ended December 31, 2007, compared to 2.76% for the six months ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in net interest income and net interest margin is attributable primarily to the increase in interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and average cost associated with deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 4.15% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to 3.69% for the six months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 46 basis points. The average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.81% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to 5.62% for the six months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 19 basis points.

Interest expense increased $333,000, or 20.4%, to $2.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of an increase in the average rate paid and average balance of certificate accounts and an increase in average Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and the average cost of such borrowings.

Provision for Losses on Loans. Based on an analysis of historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by Home Federal Savings and Loan, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions in Home Federal Savings and Loan's market area and other factors related to the collectibility of Home Federal Savings and Loan's loan portfolio, no provisions for loan losses were made during the six months ended December 31, 2007 or 2006. Home Federal Savings and Loan's allowance for loan losses was $235,000, or 0.81% of total loans, at December 31, 2007 compared to $235,000, or 1.01% of total loans at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2007, Home Federal had non-performing loans of $19,000 and other non-performing assets of $33,000. Home Federal did not have any non-performing loans at December 31, 2006. There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance at December 31, 2007 will be sufficient to cover all losses on non-performing loans at that date.

Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income amounted to $120,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007, compared to $151,000 for the same period in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in gain on sale of securities and other income.

Non-interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased $37,000, or 3.0%, for the six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $37,000, or 4.9%, in compensation and benefits expense, and an increase in audit and professional fees of $8,000, offset by a decrease in occupancy and equipment expense of $8,000, due to routine maintenance expense incurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

The increase in compensation and benefits expenses was a result of normal compensation increases including increased recognition and retention plan expense due to the acceleration of vesting of awards during the six month period following the death of a participant. Compensation expense recognized for the Stock Option and Recognition and Retention Plans amounted to $32,446 and $86,375, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2007.

Effective January 1, 2006, Home Federal Bancorp, through its subsidiary Home Federal Savings and Loan, became subject to the Louisiana bank shares tax. This tax is assessed on the Home Federal Savings and Loan's equity and earnings. For the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized franchise and bank shares tax expense of $72,600.

Provision for Income Tax Expense. Income taxes amounted to $134,000 and $171,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.8% and 34.0%, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

General. Net income amounted to $637,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $3,000 compared to net income of $634,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase was due to an increase in non-interest income, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income and an increase in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income amounted to $3.1 million for fiscal year 2007 compared to $3.2 million for fiscal year 2006.

The average interest rate spread declined from 2.37% for fiscal 2006 to 1.85% for fiscal 2007 while the average balances of net interest-earning assets increased from $24.1 million to $26.0 million during the same periods. The percentage of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 128.93% for fiscal 2007 compared to 129.49% for fiscal 2006. The decrease in the average interest rate spread reflects the low interest rate environment and management's decision to temporarily invest in lower rate securities available for sale rather than long-term, fixed rate residential mortgage loans. Additionally, Home Federal Bancorp's average cost of funds increased 114 basis points in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006 as the Federal Reserve was aggressively raising short-term rates. Competition for deposits in our market area led us to increase the average rates paid on certificates of deposit 84 basis points in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. Net interest margin declined to 2.71% in fiscal 2007 compared to 3.05% for fiscal 2006.

Interest income increased $926,000, or 16.3%, to $6.6 million for fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on all interest earning assets and an increase in the average balance of all interest earning assets. The increase in average yields on interest earning assets reflects rising interest rates in general during fiscal 2007. The increase in the average balance of investment securities was due to the redeployment of proceeds from payment and prepayment of loans, largely as a result of refinancing and loan sales, and the investment of such funds in investment securities classified as available-for-sale. The increase in the average balance of loans receivable was primarily due to the purchase of mortgage loans originated by a third party mortgage company. Our agreement with the mortgage company provides that they will retain servicing and are required to repurchase such loans for as long as such loans are outstanding if they are not performing according to their terms.

Interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 41.8%, to $3.4 million for fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of an increase in the average rate paid and average balance of certificate accounts and an increase in average Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and the average cost of such borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings as losses are estimated to have occurred in our loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. The evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Table of Contents

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information or events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the measurement of such impairment is based upon the fair value of the collateral of the loan. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the recorded investment in the loan, we will recognize the impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge against earnings.

An allowance is also established for uncollectible interest on loans classified as substandard. Substandard loans are those loans which are in excess of ninety days delinquent. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received. When, in management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make interest and principal payments is back to normal, the loan is returned to accrual status.

A minimal provision was made to the allowance in fiscal 2007. No provision was made to the allowance in fiscal 2006 because the allowance was maintained at a level believed, to the best of management's knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, both probable and reasonable.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income amounted to $240,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $95,000, or 65.5%, compared to non-interest income of $145,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Such increase was due to a $116,000 increase in gain on sale of securities, partially offset by a $21,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans. The decrease in gain on sale of loans was due to a decrease in originations of long-term, fixed rate residential loans for sale.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense remained stable at $2.4 million for fiscal 2007 and 2006.

Provision For Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes amounted to $327,000 for both the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Home Federal Bancorp's effective tax rate was 33.9% for both fiscal 2007 and 2006.

Exposure to Changes in Interest Rates

Home Federal Bancorp's ability to maintain net interest income depends upon its ability to earn a higher yield on interest-earning assets than the rates we pay on deposits and borrowings. Home Federal Bancorp's interest-earning assets consist primarily of securities available-for-sale and long-term residential mortgage loans which have fixed rates of interest. Consequently, our ability to maintain a positive spread between the interest earned on assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings can be adversely affected when market rates of interest rise. Although long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans made up a significant portion of our interest-earning assets at December 31, 2007, we sold a substantial amount of our loans and maintained a significant portfolio of securities available-for-sale during the past few years in order to better position Home Federal Bancorp for a rising rate environment. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, securities available-for-sale amounted to $81.2 million and $83.8 million, respectively, or 63.4% and 70.5%, respectively, of total assets at such dates. Although this asset/liability management strategy has adversely impacted short-term net income, it provides us with greater flexibility to reinvest such assets in higher-yielding single-family, consumer and commercial business loans in a rising interest rate environment.

Quantitative Analysis. The Office of Thrift Supervision provides a quarterly report on the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of portfolio equity. Management reviews the quarterly reports from the Office of Thrift Supervision which show the impact of changing interest rates on net portfolio value. Net portfolio value is the difference between incoming and outgoing discounted cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts.

Net Portfolio Value. Our interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the use of a model which internally generates estimates of the change in our net portfolio value ("NPV") over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The following table sets forth our NPV as of December 31, 2007.

Qualitative Analysis. Our ability to maintain a positive "spread" between the interest earned on assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings is affected by changes in interest rates. Our fixed-rate loans generally are profitable if interest rates are stable or declining since these loans have yields that exceed our cost of funds. If interest rates increase, however, we would have to pay more on our deposits and new borrowings, which would adversely affect our interest rate spread. In order to counter the potential effects of dramatic increases in market rates of interest, we have underwritten our mortgage loans to allow for their sale in the secondary market. Total loan originations amounted to $10.5 million and $7.5 million for six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, while loans sold amounted to $9.4 million and $4.8 million during the same respective periods. More significantly, we have invested excess funds from loan payments and prepayments and loan sales in investment securities classified as available for sale. As a result, Home Federal Bancorp is not as susceptible to rising interest rates as it would be if its interest-earning assets were primarily comprised of long-term fixed rate mortgage loans. With respect to its floating or adjustable rate loans, Home Federal Bancorp writes interest rate floors and caps into such loan documents. Interest rate floors limit our interest rate risk by limiting potential decreases in the interest yield on an adjustable rate loan to a certain level. As a result, we receive a minimum yield even if rates decline farther and the interest rate on the particular loan would otherwise adjust to a lower amount. Conversely, interest rate ceilings limit the amount by which the yield on an adjustable rate loan may increase to no more than six percentage points over the rate at the time of origination. Finally, we intend to place a greater emphasis on shorter-term consumer loans and commercial business loans in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Home Federal Bancorp maintains levels of liquid assets deemed adequate by management. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, repay our borrowings and to fund loan commitments. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.

Our primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, loan sales and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning accounts and other assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Our deposit accounts with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas amounted to $9.7 million and $5.1 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

A significant portion of our liquidity consists of securities classified as available-for-sale and cash and cash equivalents. Our primary sources of cash are net income, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities and increases in deposit accounts. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, we have borrowing agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas which provide an additional source of funds. At December 31, 2007, we had $15.9 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and had $66.1 million in additional borrowing capacity.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding loan commitments of $2.4 million to originate loans. At December 31, 2007, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year, totaled $42.2 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In addition, the cost of such deposits could be significantly higher upon renewal, in a rising interest rate environment. We intend to utilize our high levels of liquidity to fund our lending activities. If additional funds are required to fund lending activities, we intend to sell our securities classified as available-for-sale as needed.

Table of Contents

Home Federal Savings and Loan is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of at least 1.5%, 3.0% and 8.0%, respectively. At December 31, 2007, Home Federal Savings and Loan exceeded each of its capital requirements with ratios of 21.82%, 21.82% and 79.67%, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission rules, and have not had any such arrangements during the six months ended December 31, 2007 or two years ended June 30, 2007. See Notes 8 and 15 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented elsewhere herein regarding Home Federal Bancorp have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on Home Federal Bancorp's performance than does the effect of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.

BUSINESS OF HOME FEDERAL BANCORP

General

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, a federal corporation, was formed in January 2005 to serve as the stock holding company for Home Federal Savings and Loan Association. In connection with the reorganization of Home Federal Savings and Loan into the mutual holding company form of organization, Home Federal Bancorp sold 1,423,583 shares of its common stock in a subscription and community offering at a price of $10.00 per share. Home Federal Bancorp also issued 60% of its then outstanding common stock in the reorganization to Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana, or 2,135,375 shares. As of December 31, 2007, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company held 63.1% of Home Federal Bancorp's issued and outstanding common stock. Home Federal Savings and Loan is a federally chartered, stock savings and loan association and is subject to federal regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of Thrift Supervision. Services are provided to its customers by three offices, all of which are located in the City of Shreveport, Louisiana. The area served by Home Federal Savings and Loan is primarily the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area; however, loan and deposit customers are found dispersed in a wider geographical area covering much of northwest Louisiana. In addition, Home Federal Savings and Loan purchases packages of single family loans from a mortgage originator in Arkansas that are secured by properties primarily located in predominantly rural areas of Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. At December 31, 2007, such loans amounted to $10.6 million, or 37.7% of the total loan portfolio, and had an average age of approximately four years.

Home Federal Bancorp's only business activity is to hold all of the outstanding common stock of Home Federal Savings and Loan. Home Federal Bancorp is authorized to pursue other business activities permitted by applicable laws and regulations for savings and loan holding companies, which may include the issuance of additional shares of common stock to raise capital or to support mergers or acquisitions and borrowing funds for reinvestment in Home Federal Savings and Loan.

Table of Contents

Home Federal Bancorp does not own or lease any property, but instead uses the premises, equipment and furniture of Home Federal Savings and Loan. At the present time, Home Federal Bancorp employs only persons who are officers of Home Federal Savings and Loan to serve as officers of Home Federal Bancorp and may also use the support staff of Home Federal Savings and Loan from time to time. These persons are not separately compensated by Home Federal Bancorp.

Home Federal Savings and Loan is a federally chartered savings and loan association located in Shreveport, Louisiana, which is the parish seat of Caddo Parish. Home Federal Savings and Loan's business consists primarily of attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds to invest in securities and originate single-family and consumer loans.

Market Area

Home Federal Bancorp's primary market area for loans and deposits is in northwest Louisiana, particularly Caddo Parish and neighboring communities in Bossier Parish, which are located in the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan statistical area.

The city of Shreveport, which is located in Caddo Parish, is 185 miles east of Dallas, Texas, 200 miles south of Little Rock, Arkansas and 265 miles northwest of Baton Rouge. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Caddo Parish had an estimated population of approximately 253,000 people in 2006. Between 2000 and 2006, the population of Caddo Parish grew 0.4%, compared to a decline in the overall population of Louisiana of 4.1% for the same period.

In 2006, the median household income in Caddo Parish was $32,509. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the unemployment rate as of December 2007 was 4.3% in Caddo Parish, compared to 3.8% for the entire state of Louisiana and 4.8% nationwide. In 2006, Caddo Parish had a total of 113,000 housing units, 15.0% of which were vacant. Of the total housing units, 69.0% were single-unit structures, 21.0% were in multi-unit structures and 10.0% were mobile homes.

The Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan statistical area is considered the economic and healthcare center for northwest Louisiana, east Texas and southwest Arkansas. According to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in its January 1, 2006, Analysis of the Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana Housing Market, available at www.huduser.org, in our market area, Barksdale Air Force Base is currently the leading employer, followed by Louisiana State University Medical Center and about 8,300 workers are employed in the five casinos located in the market area. The General Motors Corporation manufacturing plant, which assembles light trucks and the Hummer H3, employs approximately 2,600 workers.

Construction, educational and health services, information, and leisure and hospitality sectors are expected to be the primary sources for employment growth in the near term. Approximately $1.0 billion in public- and private-sector construction projects are currently planned or in process, including improvements at the Kansas City Southern Railway switchyard, the construction of two steel manufacturing plants at the Port of Shreveport-Bossier, the recently completed Shreveport Convention Center and InterTech Science Park, a $500 million redevelopment project in central Shreveport. On completion, the technology development is expected to include commercial building space, a hotel, a convention center, retail and restaurant space, and a 16-acre residential subdivision. The construction project is expected to take 25 years and generate 6,000 new technology jobs, with an annual payroll of $225 million.

Barksdale AFB, located in Bossier Parish, employs an estimated 7,900 active duty and reserve personnel and 2,000 civilian and contract employees. The Air Force Cyberspace Command is being considered for location at Barksdale AFB. We expect that if the command center is approved, it will have a significant impact on the local economy due to the high salaries associated with the engineering and technical consulting positions that will be created at the base and by its contractors.

Competition

We face significant competition both in attracting deposits and in making loans. Our most direct competition for deposits has come historically from commercial banks, credit unions and other savings institutions located in the primary market area, including many large financial institutions which have greater financial and marketing resources available to them. In addition, we face significant competition for investors' funds from short-term money market securities, mutual funds and other corporate and government securities. We do not rely upon any individual group or entity for a material portion of our deposits. Our ability to attract and retain deposits depends on our ability to generally provide a rate of return, liquidity and risk comparable to that offered by competing investment opportunities.

Our competition for real estate loans comes principally from mortgage banking companies, commercial banks, other savings institutions and credit unions. We compete for loan originations primarily through the interest rates and loan fees we charge, and the efficiency and quality of services we provide borrowers. Factors which affect competition include general and local economic conditions, current interest rate levels and volatility in the mortgage markets. Competition may increase as a result of the continuing reduction of restrictions on the interstate operations of financial institutions.

At June 30, 2007, the latest date for which data is available from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at www.fdic.gov, the size of the market in the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan statistical area, as defined by total Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured deposits, was $4.5 billion, populated by 112 branch offices. Assuming the merger with First Louisiana Bank was completed as of June 30, 2007, we would have had total deposits of $168.0 million which represents a market share of 3.8%.

Subsidiaries

At December 31, 2007, Home Federal Bancorp had one subsidiary, Home Federal Savings and Loan. Home Federal Savings and Loan's only subsidiary at such date was Metro Financial Services, Inc., an inactive, wholly-owned subsidiary.

Employees

Home Federal Savings and Loan had 17 full-time employees and two part-time employees at December 31, 2007. None of these employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that we enjoy good relations with our personnel.

Lending Activities

General. At December 31, 2007, Home Federal Bancorp's net loan portfolio amounted to $28.8 million, representing approximately 22.4% of total assets at that date. Historically, our principal lending activity has been the origination of one- to four-family residential loans. At December 31, 2007, one- to four-family residential loans totaled $19.0 million, or 67.6% of the total loan portfolio. As part of our desire to diversify the loan portfolio, we also offer consumer loans, which includes home equity loans, second mortgage loans and lines of credit and totaled $5.5 million, or 19.5% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2007. If the merger is completed, and we acquire First Louisiana Bancshares, the composition of our loan portfolio will change. First Louisiana Bancshares' primary lending activity is the origination of commercial real estate and commercial business loans. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares' commercial real estate loans amounted to $45.8 million, or 53.6% of the total loan portfolio, and commercial business loans amounted to $26.7 million, or 31.3% of the total loan portfolio.

The types of loans that we may originate are subject to federal and state laws and regulations. Interest rates charged on loans are affected principally by the demand for such loans and the supply of money available for lending purposes and the rates offered by our competitors. These factors are, in turn, affected by general and economic conditions, the monetary policy of the federal government, including the Federal Reserve Board, legislative and tax policies, and governmental budgetary matters.

Table of Contents

A savings institution generally may not make loans to one borrower and related entities in an amount which exceeds 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. In addition, upon application the Office of Thrift Supervision permits a savings institution to lend up to an additional 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus to one borrower to develop domestic residential housing units. At December 31, 2007, our regulatory limit on loans-to-one borrower was $4.2 million and the five largest loans or groups of loans-to-one borrower, including related entities, aggregated $3.1 million, $270,000, $355,000, $443,000 and $422,000. Each of our five largest loans or groups of loans was performing in accordance with its terms at December 31, 2007. The $1.5 million loan commitment described below is to our largest borrower. As a result of the total exposure of $4.6 million, we have applied to and received the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision to utilize the higher lending limit for this loan relationship. If we had completed the acquisition of First Louisiana Bank, our loans to one borrower limit at December 31, 2007, would have increased to $5.5 million. We do not expect, however, to materially increase the size of our loans nor change our lending policy.

Loans to or guaranteed by general obligations of a state or political subdivision are not subject to the foregoing lending limits. Our board of directors has authorized a loan commitment of approximately $1.5 million to a limited partnership established by the Housing Authority of Bossier City, Louisiana, which we expect to be entered into in the third or fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The loan will be secured by a first mortgage lien on real estate and low to moderate income rental units in Bossier City, Louisiana as well as a conditional assignment of rents. The commitment letter will include a condition that the Housing Authority of Bossier City, Louisiana executes takeout agreements with respect to our position in the event of default.

For purposes of this presentation, $4.9 million of second mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit classified as consumer loans by Home Federal Savings have been re-classified as one-to-four family residential loans in order to have consistent loan classifications by both institutions.

Origination of Loans. Our lending activities are subject to the written underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by the board of directors and management. Loan originations are obtained through a variety of sources, primarily consisting of referrals from real estate brokers and existing customers. Written loan applications are taken by one of our loan officers. The loan officer also supervises the procurement of credit reports, appraisals and other documentation involved with a loan. As a matter of practice, we obtain independent outside appraisals on substantially all of our loans. Under our lending policy, a title opinion must be obtained for each real estate loan. We also require fire and extended coverage casualty insurance in order to protect the properties securing the real estate loans. Borrowers must also obtain flood insurance policies when the property is in a flood hazard area.

Our loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower's ability to repay the loan, the viability of the loan and the value of the property that will secure the loan. Loans up to $417,000, the current Fannie Mae conforming loan limit for single-family mortgage loans, must be approved by our loan committee which consists of the Chief Executive Officer, the principal financial officer and the Vice President of Lending. Loans in excess of $417,000 must be approved by the board of directors. In accordance with past practice, all loans are ratified by our board of directors.

During fiscal 2007 and the six months ended December 31, 2007, we also purchased loans from a mortgage originator secured by single-family housing primarily located in predominantly rural areas of Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. The loans were generally secured by rural properties and the seller retained servicing rights. Although the loans were originated with fixed-rates, Home Federal Savings and Loan receives an adjustable-rate of interest equal to the Federal Housing Finance Board rate, with rate floors and ceilings of approximately 5.0% and 8.0%, respectively. Under the terms of the loan agreements, the seller must repurchase any loan that becomes more than 90 days delinquent. At December 31, 2007, we had approximately $10.6 million of such loans in our portfolio with an average age of approximately four years.

The following table shows total loans originated, sold and repaid during the periods indicated.

Although federal laws and regulations permit savings institutions to originate and purchase loans secured by real estate located throughout the United States, we concentrate our lending activity to our primary market area in Caddo Parish, Louisiana and the surrounding area. Subject to our loans-to-one borrower limitations, we are permitted to invest without limitation in residential mortgage loans and up to 400% of our capital in loans secured by non-residential or commercial real estate. We also may invest in secured and unsecured consumer loans in an amount not exceeding 35% of total assets. This 35% limitation may be exceeded for certain types of consumer loans, such as home equity and property improvement loans secured by residential real property. In addition, we may invest up to 10% of our total assets in secured and unsecured loans for commercial, corporate, business or agricultural purposes. At December 31, 2007, we were within each of the above lending limits.

During the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we sold $9.5 million and $3.1 million of loans, respectively. We did not recognize a gain or loss on the sale of loans during the six months ended December 31, 2007 or 2006. Loans were sold during these periods primarily to another financial institution for which we received fee income. Such loans were sold against forward sales commitments with servicing released and without recourse after a certain amount of time, typically 90 days. The loans sold primarily consisted of long-term, fixed rate residential real estate loans. These loans were originated during a period of historically low interest rates and were sold to reduce our interest rate risk. We will continue to sell loans in the future to the extent we believe the interest rate environment is unfavorable and interest rate risk is unacceptable.

Contractual Terms to Final Maturities. The following table shows the scheduled contractual maturities of our loans as of the periods indicated, before giving effect to net items. Demand loans, which are loans having no stated schedule of repayments and no stated maturity, and overdrafts are reported as due in one year or less. The amounts shown below do not take into account loan prepayments.

Scheduled contractual maturities of loans do not necessarily reflect the actual expected term of the loan portfolio. The average life of mortgage loans is substantially less than their average contractual terms because of prepayments. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase when current mortgage loan rates are higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when rates on current mortgage loans are lower than existing mortgage loan rates (due to refinancing of adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans at lower rates). Under the latter circumstance, the weighted average yield on loans decreases as higher yielding loans are repaid or refinanced at lower rates.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Loans. Our primary lending activity is the origination of loans secured by single-family residences. At December 31, 2007, $19.0 million, or 67.6%, of the total loan portfolio, before net items, consisted of one- to four-family residential loans.

The loan-to-value ratio, maturity and other provisions of the loans made by us generally have reflected the policy of making less than the maximum loan permissible under applicable regulations, in accordance with sound lending practices, market conditions and underwriting standards established by us. Our current lending policy on one- to four-family residential loans generally limits the maximum loan-to-value ratio to 80% or less of the appraised value of the property although we will lend up to a 95% loan-to-value ratio with private mortgage insurance. These loans are amortized on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each month and generally include "due-on-sale" clauses.

At December 31, 2007, $8.1 million, or 42.8%, of our one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were fixed-rate loans. Fixed-rate loans generally have maturities ranging from 15 to 30 years and are fully amortizing with monthly loan payments sufficient to repay the total amount of the loan with interest by the end of the loan term. Our fixed-rate loans generally are originated under terms, conditions and documentation which permit them to be sold to U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and other investors in the secondary mortgage market. Consistent with our asset/liability management, we have sold a significant portion of our long-term, fixed rate loans over the past two years.

Table of Contents

Although we offer adjustable rate loans, substantially all of the single-family loan originations over the last few years have consisted of fixed-rate loans due to the low interest rate environment. The adjustable-rate loans held in portfolio typically have interest rates which adjust on an annual or semi-annual basis. The loans we originate generally have an annual cap of 2% on any increase or decrease and a cap of 6% above or below the initial rate over the life of the loan. Such loans are underwritten based on the initial rate plus 2%. The loans we purchase from an Arkansas loan originator have an adjustable rate of interest tied to the Federal Housing Finance Board Rate and adjust each January 1 and July 1. The rates are subject to a floor of no less than 5.0% and a ceiling of approximately 8.0%.

Consumer Loans. We are authorized to make loans for a wide variety of personal or consumer purposes. We originate consumer loans in order to accommodate our customers and because such loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans. The consumer loans we offer consist of home equity and second mortgage loans, loans secured by deposit accounts with us, equity lines of credit and automobile loans. However, we do not intend to materially expand our product offerings and instead intend to focus on increasing the volume of our current products, primarily home equity and second mortgage loans. At December 31, 2007, $5.5 million, or 19.5% of the total loan portfolio consisted of consumer loans compared to $5.2 million, or 22.4% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2006.

Of the $5.5 million of consumer loans held at December 31, 2007, $4.2 million consisted of home equity and second mortgage loans compared to $5.0 million of home equity and second mortgage loans at December 31, 2006. These loans are secured by the underlying equity in the borrower's residence. We do not require that we hold the first mortgage on the properties that secure the second mortgage loans. The amount of our second mortgage loans generally cannot exceed a loan-to-value ratio of 80% after taking into consideration the first mortgage loan. These loans are typically three-to-five year balloon loans with fixed rates and contain an on-demand clause that allows us to call the loan in at any time.

We offer loans secured by deposit accounts held with us, which loans amounted to $490,000, or 1.7% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2007. Such loans are originated for up to 90% of the account balance, with a hold placed on the account restricting the withdrawal of the account balance. The interest rate on the loan is equal to the interest rate paid on the account plus 2%. These loans typically are payable on demand with a maturity date of one year.

We also offer lines of credit secured by a borrower's equity in real estate which loans amounted to $719,000 or 2.6% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2007. The rates and terms of such lines of credit depend on the history and income of the borrower, purpose of the loan and collateral. Lines of credit will not exceed 90% of the value of the equity in the collateral.

Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans, but generally entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly those loans secured by assets that depreciate rapidly, such as automobiles, boats and recreational vehicles. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In particular, amounts realizable on the sale of repossessed automobiles may be significantly reduced based upon the condition of the automobiles and the fluctuating demand for used automobiles.

Loan Origination and Other Fees. In addition to interest earned on loans, we generally receive loan origination fees or "points" for originating loans. Loan points are a percentage of the principal amount of the mortgage loan and are charged to the borrower in connection with the origination of the loan.

Asset Quality

General. Home Federal Bancorp's collection procedures provide that when a loan is 15 days past due, a late charge notice is sent to the borrower requesting payment. If the delinquency continues at 30 days, personal contact efforts are attempted, either in person or by telephone. If a loan becomes 60 days past due and no progress has been made in resolving the delinquency, a collection letter from legal counsel is sent and personal contact is attempted. When a loan continues in a delinquent status for 90 days or more, and a repayment schedule has not been made or kept by the borrower, generally a notice of intent to foreclose is sent to the borrower. If the delinquency is not cured, foreclosure proceedings are initiated. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly. While we generally prefer to work with borrowers to resolve such problems, we will institute foreclosure or other collection proceedings when necessary to minimize any potential loss.

Table of Contents

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when management believes the probability of collection of interest is doubtful. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. We generally discontinue the accrual of interest income when the loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest unless the credit is well secured and we believe we will fully collect.

Real estate and other assets we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure are classified as real estate owned until sold. We held $33,000 of real estate owned at December 31, 2007 compared to none at December 31, 2006.

At June 30, 2007, non-performing loans totaled $116,000 which amounted to 0.46% of net loans. At December 31, 2007, non-performing loans totaled $19,000, or .07% of net loans. We also had $33,000 of other real estate owned at such date, resulting in total non-performing assets of $52,000 or .04% of total assets. Other real estate owned consists of one residential property. We do not expect to incur any material losses on the disposition of such property.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations require that each insured savings institution classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of insured institutions, federal examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: "substandard," "doubtful" and "loss." Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a higher possibility of loss. An asset classified loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. Another category designated "special mention" also must be established and maintained for assets which do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss. Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the insured institution must either establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge-off such amount. General loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institution's regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses do not qualify as regulatory capital. Federal examiners may disagree with an insured institution's classifications and amounts reserved. Assets classified as substandard at December 31, 2007 amounted to $19,000. None were classified as doubtful or loss at December 31, 2007.

Allowance for Loan Losses. At December 31, 2007, our allowance for loan losses amounted to $235,000. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed, to the best of our knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. The level of allowance for loan losses is based on our periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing conditions. We are primarily engaged in originating single-family residential loans. Our management considers the deficiencies of all classified loans in determining the amount of allowance for loan losses required at each reporting date. Our management analyzes the probability of the correction of the substandard loans' weaknesses and the extent of any known or inherent losses that we might sustain on them.

While management believes that it determines the size of the allowance based on the best information available at the time, the allowance will need to be adjusted as circumstances change and assumptions are updated. Future adjustments to the allowance could significantly affect net income.

The following table shows changes in our allowance for loan losses during the periods presented. We did not have any charge-offs or recoveries during the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and fiscal 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003. During fiscal year 2007, one consumer loan with a balance of $1,000 was charged off directly to the provision for bad debt expense. There were no recoveries during fiscal 2007.

(1)	None of the listed equity securities has a stated maturity.

Our investment in equity securities consists primarily of FHLB stock and a $2.3 million (book value) investment in an adjustable-rate mortgage fund (referred to as the ARM Fund). The fair value of the ARM Fund has traditionally correlated with the interest rate environment. Our investment in the ARM Fund has not experienced any unusual or significant declines in fair value or negative amortizations due to the recent downturn in the housing and mortgage lending industries. At December 31, 2007, the unrealized loss on this investment was $63,000. Home Federal Bancorp has the ability and the intent to hold such investment until it recovers its value.

Mortgage-backed securities represent a participation interest in a pool of one- to four-family or multi-family mortgages. The mortgage originators use intermediaries (generally U.S. Government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises) to pool and repackage the participation interests in the form of securities, with investors receiving the principal and interest payments on the mortgages. Such U.S. Government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors.

Mortgage-backed securities are typically issued with stated principal amounts, and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with interest rates that are within a range and have varying maturities. The underlying pool of mortgages, i.e., fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, as well as prepayment risk, are passed on to the certificate holder. The life of a mortgage-backed pass-through security approximates the life of the underlying mortgages.

Our mortgage-backed securities consist of Ginnie Mae securities, Freddie Mac securities and Fannie Mae securities. Ginnie Mae is a government agency within the Department of Housing and Urban Development which is intended to help finance government-assisted housing programs. Ginnie Mae securities are backed by loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration, or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. The timely payment of principal and interest on Ginnie Mae securities is guaranteed by Ginnie Mae and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Freddie Mac is a private corporation chartered by the U.S. Government. Freddie Mac issues participation certificates backed principally by conventional mortgage loans. Freddie Mac guarantees the timely payment of interest and the ultimate return of principal on participation certificates. Fannie Mae is a private corporation chartered by the U.S. Congress with a mandate to establish a secondary market for mortgage loans. Fannie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on Fannie Mae securities. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, but because Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, these securities are considered to be among the highest quality investments with minimal credit risks.

Table of Contents

Mortgage-backed securities generally yield less than the loans which underlie such securities because of their payment guarantees or credit enhancements which offer nominal credit risk. In addition, mortgage-backed securities are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize our borrowings or other obligations.

The following table sets forth the composition of our mortgage-backed securities portfolio at each of the dates indicated. The amounts reflect the fair value of our mortgage-backed securities at the dates indicated.

Information regarding the contractual maturities and weighted average yield of our mortgage-backed securities portfolio at December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006 is presented in the tables below. Due to repayments of the underlying loans, the actual maturities of mortgage-backed securities generally are substantially less than the scheduled maturities. The amounts reflect the fair value of our mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits are our primary source of funds for lending and other investment purposes. In addition to deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities are a source of funds. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions. Borrowings may also be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources and on a longer-term basis for general business purposes.

Deposits. We attract deposits principally from residents of Louisiana and particularly from Caddo Parish and to a lesser extent from Bossier Parish. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. We have not solicited deposits from outside Louisiana or paid fees to brokers to solicit funds for deposit.

We establish interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties on a periodic basis. Management determines the rates and terms based on rates paid by competitors, the need for funds or liquidity, growth goals and federal regulations. We attempt to control the flow of deposits by pricing our accounts to remain generally competitive with other financial institutions in the market area.

Borrowings. We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas upon the security of the common stock we own in that bank and certain of our residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and other investment securities, provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. These advances are made pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Federal Home Loan Bank advances are generally available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposit accounts and to permit increased lending.

As of December 31, 2007, we were permitted to borrow up to an aggregate total of $82.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. We had $15.9 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding at December 31, 2007.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF FIRST LOUISIANA BANCSHARES

General

First Louisiana Bancshares’ results of operations depend primarily on its level of net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans and investment securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and, to a lesser extent, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and subordinated debentures. The difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities have a significant impact on First Louisiana Bancshares' net interest income. First Louisiana Bancshares’ net interest margin is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan activity and deposit flows. First Louisiana Bancshares, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis, than its interest-bearing liabilities. To a lesser extent, First Louisiana Bancshares’ results of operations are also affected by the amount of its non-interest income, which consists primarily of service charges and fees, and the level of non-interest expense, comprised principally of employee compensation and benefits, insurance premiums, occupancy costs, advertising, professional services, data processing and other operating expenses.

First Louisiana Bancshares’ operating results are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions including, in particular, changes in market rates of interest, government policies and actions taken by regulatory authorities. Lending activities are influenced by general economic conditions, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest, primarily on competing investments, account maturities and the level of personal income and savings in First Louisiana Bancshares' market area.

Critical Accounting Policies

First Louisiana Bancshares’ consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the company to make estimates and assumptions (see Note 1 to First Louisiana Bancshares’ audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein). First Louisiana Bancshares believes that its determination of the allowance for credit losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than the company’s other significant accounting policies. Further, these estimates can be materially effected by changes in market conditions or the actual or perceived financial condition of the company’s borrowers, subjecting the company to significant volatility of earnings.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through the provision for loan losses, which is a charge against earnings. Provisions for loan losses are made to reserve for estimated probable losses on loans. The allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate and is regularly evaluated by First Louisiana Bancshares for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; trends in actual and forecasted portfolio credit quality, including delinquency, charge-off and bankruptcy rates; and current economic conditions that may affect a borrower’s ability to pay. In determining an adequate allowance for loan losses, management makes numerous assumptions, estimates and assessments. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provisions for loan losses.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006

At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares’ total assets amounted to $123.1 million compared to $112.7 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of approximately $10.4 million, or 9.2%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in net loans receivable of $5.4 million or 6.8% and to a lesser extent, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $3.4 million, or 68.1%.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to an increase in federal funds sold of $4.0 million from $800,000 at December 31, 2006 to $4.8 million at December 31, 2007, reflecting management's determination to increase First Louisiana Bancshares’ liquidity in the face of the overall economic climate.

Table of Contents

The increase in loans receivable was primarily due to a $6.9 million increase in commercial real estate loans, or 17.1%, from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007 and an increase in commercial business loans of $613,000, or 2.4%, for the same period. Such increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.0 million, or 23.0% in consumer and other loans and an $187,000 decrease, or 3.1%, in residential real estate from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007. The increase in commercial real estate and business loans reflected continued implementation of First Louisiana Bancshares’ business strategy of focusing on lending to small and mid-sized businesses and professionals. Other real estate owned increased $1.2 million from $1.1 million at December 31, 2006 to $2.3 million at December 31, 2007. Other real estate owned at December 31, 2007 consisted of five commercial properties and two residential properties. First Louisiana Bank is actively pursuing sales of all of these properties. The increased level of other real estate owned reflected the slower economic environment.

Set forth below is a composition of First Louisiana Bancshares’ loan portfolio at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

First Louisiana Bancshares’ total liabilities amounted to $111.9 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $9.5 million, or 9.3%, compared to total liabilities of $102.4 million at December 31, 2006. The primary reason for the increase in liabilities was a $6.1 million, or 7.1%, increase in customer deposits due to normal deposit inflows, and a $3.4 million or 37.0% increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006

General. For the year ended December 31, 2007, net income amounted to $818,000, compared to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $240,000, or 22.7%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in non-interest income from 2006, which was partially offset in 2007 by decreases in provisions for loans losses and income tax expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income of $5.3 million was relatively unchanged for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. Interest income increased $843,000, or 11.1%, which was offset by a corresponding increase in interest expense of $847,000, or 37.6%, for fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006.

First Louisiana Bancshares’ average interest rate spread was 4.29% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 4.69% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The company’s net interest margin was 5.07% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 5.43% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decreases in the average interest rate spread and net interest margin are attributable primarily to the increase in interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and average cost associated with deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 70 basis points from 3.03% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 3.73% for the year ended December 31, 2007 while the average yield earned on interest-earning assets only increased 30 basis points from 7.73% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 8.03% for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Provision for Losses on Loans. Based on an analysis of historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by First Louisiana Bank, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to First Louisiana Bank’s market area and other factors related to the collectibility of First Louisiana Bank’s loan portfolio. First Louisiana Bank made a provision for loan losses of $703,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $983,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. First Louisiana Bank’s allowance for loan losses was $891,000, or 1.04% of total loans, at December 31, 2007 compared to $1.1 million, or 1.32%, of total loans at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bank had non-performing loans of $318,000 and other non-performing assets of $2.3 million, compared to $2.1 million of non-performing loans at December 31, 2006 and other non-performing assets of $1.2 million at such date. There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance at December 31, 2007 will be sufficient to cover all losses on non-performing loans at that date.

(1)

Non-performing loans consist of non-accruing loans plus accruing loans 90 days or more past due.

At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares had non-performing loans of $318,000 which amounted to 0.37% of net loans. At such date, it also had $2.3 million of other real estate owned, resulting in total non-performing assets of $2.6 million or 2.13% of total assets. Other real estate owned consists of five commercial properties and two residential properties, all of which are being actively marketed for sale. First Louisiana Bancshares does not expect to incur any material losses on the disposition of such properties.

Federal regulations require that each insured financial institution classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of insured institutions, federal examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: “substandard,” “doubtful” and “loss.” Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a higher possibility of loss. An asset classified loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. Another category designated “special mention” also must be established and maintained for assets which do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss. Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the insured institution must either establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge off such amount. General loss allowances established to cover probable losses related to assets classified substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institution's regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses do not qualify as regulatory capital. Assets classified as substandard at December 31, 2007 amounted to $589,000. There were no assets classified doubtful or loss at such date.

At December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses amounted to $891,000. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. The level of allowance for loan losses is based on a periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing conditions. First Louisiana Bank is primarily engaged in lending to small and mid-sized businesses and professionals. Management considers the deficiencies of all classified loans in determining the amount of allowance for loan losses required at each reporting date. Management analyzes the probability of the correction of the substandard loans' weaknesses and the extent of any known or inherent losses that might be sustained on them.

Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income amounted to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $471,000 or 29.9%. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of vacant land by First Louisiana Bank in fiscal 2006 for a gain of $356,000.

Non-Interest Expense. The components of non-interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the percentage change between years are shown in the following table:

	2007		2006		Increase (Decrease)			% Change
	(Dollars in thousands)

Other		633		685		(52	)		-7.6	%

Total	$	4,621	$	4,380	$	241			5.5	%

Total non-interest expense increased $241,000, or 5.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $225,000, or 10.4%, in salaries and personnel expense. The increase in salaries and personnel expenses was a result of a combination of items, including normal compensation increases, an increase in the number of First Louisiana Bank employees, and increases in the cost of employee health benefits.

Professional services and fees increased by $38,000 or 7.7%. The increase was primarily due to a $30,000 increase in FDIC insurance assessments. Capital stock taxes increased by $27,000 or 14.3%, which was due to the increase in equity.

Provision for Income Tax Expense. Income taxes amounted to $291,000 and $488,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 26.2% and 31.6%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

First Louisiana Bancshares maintains levels of liquid assets deemed adequate by management. Management adjusts First Louisiana Bancshares’s liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, repay its borrowings and to fund loan commitments. First Louisiana Bancshares also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.

First Louisiana Bancshares’s primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, loan sales and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. First Louisiana Bancshares sets the interest rates on its deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, First Louisiana Bancshares invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning accounts and other assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. First Louisiana Bancshares’s deposit accounts with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas amounted to $37,335 at December 31, 2007.

A significant portion of First Louisiana Bancshares’s liquidity consists of securities classified as available-for-sale and cash and cash equivalents. First Louisiana Bancshares’s primary sources of cash are net income, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities and increases in deposit accounts. If First Louisiana Bancshares requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, First Louisiana Bancshares has borrowing agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas which provide an additional source of funds. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares had $12.5 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and had $9.6 million in additional borrowing capacity. First Louisiana Bancshares also had access to additional sources of liquidity through an unsecured federal funds purchased line of credit for $4.9 million and a secured line of credit for $1.5 million. First Louisiana Bancshares has pledged the stock of First Louisiana Bank with respect to the secured line of credit. At December 31, 2007, no amounts were advanced under either line of credit.

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares had outstanding loan commitments of $13.0 million to originate loans. At December 31, 2007, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year, totaled $34.3 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with First Louisiana Bancshares, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

In order to be adequately capitalized for regulatory reporting purposes, First Louisiana Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet total capital to risk weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets of at least 8.0%, 4.0% and 4.0%, respectively. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bank exceeded each of its capital requirements with ratios of 13.72%, 12.86% and 10.88%, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

First Louisiana Bancshares does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission rules. In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into various off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit that are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheets of the company. The business purpose of these off-balance sheet commitments is the routine extension of credit. See Note 12 to the Notes to First Louisiana Bancshares Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data regarding First Louisiana Bancshares have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of First Louisiana Bancshares’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on First Louisiana Bancshares’s performance than does the effect of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.

The principal sources of funds for its lending activities are deposits, loan repayments and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. First Louisiana Bank’s principal expenses are interest paid on deposits and operating and administrative expenses.

Market Area

First Louisiana Bank currently operates in the same market area as Home Federal Savings and Loan. For a description of the market area, see "Business of Home Federal Bancorp – Market Area."

Business Strategy

The business strategy of First Louisiana Bancshares is to operate as a profitable, diversified financial services company, providing a variety of banking and other financial services, with an emphasis on small business lending, loans to professionals and business owners and residential mortgage loans. First Louisiana Bank offers a wide range of commercial and retail lending and financial services to businesses and individuals. To continue asset growth and profitability, First Louisiana Bancshares’ marketing strategy is targeted to:

Capitalize on its personal relationship approach that it believes differentiates the bank from its larger competitors;

Provide customers with access to the bank’s executives who make key credit and other decisions;

Pursue commercial lending opportunities with small to mid-sized businesses that are underserved by the larger competitors in the market; and

Cross-sell products and services to the bank’s existing customers to leverage its relationships and enhance profitability.

Lending Activities

General. First Louisiana Bank focuses its commercial loan originations on small and mid-sized businesses. These loans are usually accompanied by significant demand deposits. Commercial loan underwriting is driven by cash flow analysis supported by collateral analysis and review. Commercial loan products include commercial real estate construction and term loans, working capital loans and lines of credit, business equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable financing. The bank offers a range of cash management services and deposit products to its commercial customers. On-line banking is also available to commercial customers.

The mortgage loan business of First Louisiana Bank is structured to provide a source of fee income largely from the origination of conventional mortgage loans that are referred to and funded by a third-party vendor. First Louisiana Bank also offers conventional and nonconforming mortgage loans to qualified customers for its own portfolio.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio totaled approximately $32.7 million, or 38.3% of the total loan portfolio. First Louisiana Bank originates mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate. Such loans are primarily secured by commercial offices, warehouses, strip shopping centers, hotels and retail buildings. The value of underlying collateral is assessed by independent appraisers. Although terms may vary, the bank’s commercial mortgages are normally long term in nature. First Louisiana Bank seeks to reduce the risks associated with commercial real estate lending by generally lending in its market area and obtaining periodic financial statements and tax returns from the borrowers. It is also the general policy of First Louisiana Bank to obtain personal guarantees from the principals of these companies and assignments of all leases, rents and revenues related to the collateral. At December 31, 2007, the average size of First Louisiana Bank's commercial real estate loans was $327,000 and largest loan to one borrower was $2.9 million.

Table of Contents

Commercial Loans. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bank’s commercial loan portfolio totaled approximately $26.0 million, or 30.4% of the total loan portfolio. First Louisiana Bank originates secured and unsecured loans for business purposes. Loans are made for acquisition, expansion and working capital purposes and may be secured by real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other assets. The financial condition and cash flow of commercial borrowers are closely monitored by the submission of corporate financial statements, personal financial statements and income tax returns. The frequency of submissions of required financial information depends on the size and complexity of the credit and the collateral that secures the loan. It is the general policy of First Louisiana Bank to obtain personal guarantees from the principals of the commercial loan borrowers. At December 31, 2007, the average size of First Louisiana Bank's commercial loans was $69,000 and largest loan to one borrower was $2.5 million.

Construction Loans. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bank’s construction loan portfolio totaled approximately $7.7 million, or 9.0% of the total loan portfolio. First Louisiana Bank provides interim real estate acquisition development and construction loans to builders, developers and persons who will ultimately occupy the property. Real estate development and construction loans to provide interim financing on the property are based on acceptable percentages of the appraised value of the property securing the loan in each case. Real estate development and construction loan proceeds are funded periodically at pre-specified stages of completion and after on-site inspections of the property.

Development and construction loans are secured by the properties under development or construction and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the property, First Louisiana Bank considers the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and any guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, costs estimates and pre-construction sale information.

Loans to individuals for the construction of their primary or secondary residences are secured by the property under construction. The loan-to-value ratio of each construction loan is based on the lesser of the cost to build or the appraised value of the completed home. Construction loans have a normal maturity of 12 months and are typically approved with a permanent take-out commitment.

Residential Real Estate Loans. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bank’s residential loan portfolio totaled approximately $10.7 million. First Louisiana Bank originates adjustable and fixed rate mortgage loans, most of which are referred to a third party, who underwrites these loans and sells them in the secondary market. First Louisiana Bank originates some of the loans for its portfolio.

Other Consumer Loans and Home Equity Lines. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bank’s consumer loan portfolio totaled approximately $6.4 million and its home equity lines totaled approximately $1.8 million. First Louisiana Bank offers a variety of consumer loans. These loans are typically secured by residential and other personal property. Home equity loans and lines of credit are typically based on 80% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan, less the amount of the first lien on the property. Maturities run from five to ten years.

Credit Administration. First Louisiana Bank’s lending activities are subject to written loan policies approved by the board of directors to ensure proper management of credit risk. Loans are subject to a defined credit process that includes credit evaluation of borrowers, risk-rating of credits, establishment of lending limits, and application of lending procedures, including holding of adequate collateral and the maintenance of compensating balances, as well as procedures for on-going identification and management of credit problems. Regular portfolio reviews are performed by an outside third party to identify potential underperforming credits, estimate of loss exposure, and to ascertain compliance with the bank’s policies. Loans exceeding $500,000 are reviewed and approved by the loan committee.

Deposit Activities

First Louisiana Bank’s retail banking activity emphasizes consumer deposits and checking accounts. An extensive range of those services is offered by the bank to meet the varied needs of its customers from business customers to young professionals and senior citizens. In addition to traditional products and services, First Louisiana Bank offers contemporary products and services such as debit cards, Internet banking and electronic bill payment services. Consumer loan products offered by the bank include home equity loans and lines of credit, second mortgages, overdraft protection and personal lines of credit.

First Louisiana Statutory Trust I

First Louisiana Bancshares also owns 100% of the common stock of First Louisiana Statutory Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust that was organized in 2006 for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On September 21, 2006, Trust I issued $4.0 million of floating rate trust preferred securities due in 2036, with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security and with an option to redeem the securities in whole or in part beginning after the fifth anniversary. Distributions payable on each capital security are payable at an annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 1.80%. The capital securities of Trust I are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by First Louisiana Bancshares. In connection with the issuance of the trust preferred securities, First Louisiana Bancshares issued $4.1 million of floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures to Trust I due in 2036. The terms of the debentures, which comprise substantially all of the assets of Trust I, are the same as the terms of the capital securities issued by Trust I.

Competition

As noted above, First Louisiana Bank’s principal banking market for its deposit gathering and loan origination activities is the Shreveport/Bossier City metropolitan area. First Louisiana Bank experiences extensive competition in both lending and attracting funds from other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, pension trusts, mutual funds, insurance companies, mortgage bankers and brokers, brokerage and investment banking firms, asset-based nonbank lenders, government agencies and certain other non-financial institutions, including retail stores, which may offer products and services on more favorable terms than the bank. This is due primarily to the size of these competitors, many of which are regional or national institutions, including commercial banks, that have the ability to make larger loans than can First Louisiana Bank and offer other products on terms at which the bank cannot compete cost-effectively.

First Louisiana Bank also competes with companies located outside of its market area that provide financial services to persons within its market. Some of the bank’s current and potential competitors have larger customer bases, greater brand recognition, and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than the bank, and some of them are not subject to the same degree of regulation as the bank. Nonetheless, First Louisiana Bank believes that it has enjoyed its success by emphasizing customer service, technology and local office decision-making, by establishing long-term customer relationships and building customer loyalty, and by providing products and services designed to address the specific needs of its targeted customer base.

Employees

As of December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bank employed 42 full-time employees and five part-time employees. First Louisiana Bank employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit, and the bank considers its relationship with its employees to be very good.

Properties

The main office of First Louisiana Bank is located at 1350 E. 70th Street in Shreveport, Louisiana. The bank’s main office, as well as its branch located at 2790 Airline Drive in Bossier City, Louisiana, are owned by First Louisiana Bank. Its third branch, which is located at 430 Travis Street in Downtown Shreveport, Louisiana, is leased. This lease expires in April 2011; however, First Louisiana Bank has a five-year renewal option on the lease. In December 2007, First Louisiana Bank purchased a location at 3400 Line Avenue in Shreveport, Louisiana, which became its fourth branch office when it opened in April 2008. The costs of remodeling amounted to $254,000 which will be amortized into expense over the relevant lives of the assets.

Legal Proceedings

First Louisiana Bancshares and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, such as claims to enforce liens, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans, and other issues of normal business. First Louisiana Bancshares is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

REGULATION

Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws relating to the regulation of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan. This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations.

General

Home Federal Savings and Loan, as a federally chartered savings and loan association, is subject to federal regulation and oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision extending to all aspects of its operations. Home Federal Savings and Loan also is subject to regulation and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insures our deposits to the maximum extent permitted by law, and requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. Federally chartered savings institutions are required to file periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and are subject to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The investment and lending authority of savings institutions are prescribed by federal laws and regulations, and such institutions are prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. Such regulation and supervision primarily is intended for the protection of depositors and not for the purpose of protecting shareholders.

Federal law provides the federal banking regulators, including the Office of Thrift Supervision and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, with substantial enforcement powers. The Office of Thrift Supervision's enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their holding companies includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision. Any change in such regulations, whether by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Thrift Supervision or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan and our operations.

Regulation of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company

Upon completion of the conversion and offering, Home Federal Bancorp, the proposed new holding company which is a Louisiana corporation, will be a registered savings and loan holding company within the meaning of Section 10 of the Home Owners' Loan Act and will be subject to Office of Thrift Supervision examination and supervision as well as certain reporting requirements. The existing federally chartered holding company, which also is named Home Federal Bancorp, currently is a registered savings and loan holding company. In addition, because Home Federal Savings and Loan's deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund maintained by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Home Federal Savings and Loan is, and will continue to be, subject to certain restrictions in dealing with us and with other persons affiliated with the bank.

Holding Company Acquisitions. Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company are savings and loan holding companies under the Home Owners' Loan Act, and are registered with the Office of Thrift Supervision. The proposed new holding company will also be registered as a savings and loan holding company after the conversion and offering. Federal law generally prohibits a savings and loan holding company, without prior Office of Thrift Supervision approval, from acquiring the ownership or control of any other savings institution or savings and loan holding company, or all, or substantially all, of the assets or more than 5% of the voting shares of the savings institution or savings and loan holding company. These provisions also prohibit, among other things, any director or officer of a savings and loan holding company, or any individual who owns or controls more than 25% of the voting shares of such holding company, from acquiring control of any savings institution not a subsidiary of such savings and loan holding company, unless the acquisition is approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Table of Contents

The Office of Thrift Supervision may not approve any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions: (1) the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and (2) the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisitions. The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

Holding Company Activities. After the conversion and offering, the new holding company will operate as a unitary savings and loan holding company. Although savings and loan holding companies are not subject to specific capital requirements or specific restrictions on the payment of dividends or other capital distributions, federal regulations do prescribe such restrictions on subsidiary savings institutions, as described below. Home Federal Savings and Loan must notify the Office of Thrift Supervision 30 days before declaring any dividend. In addition, the financial impact of a holding company on its subsidiary institution is a matter that is evaluated by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the agency has authority to order cessation of activities or divestiture of subsidiaries deemed to pose a threat to the safety and soundness of the institution.

Federal Securities Laws. Home Federal Bancorp registered its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is subject to the proxy and tender offer rules, insider trading reporting requirements and restrictions, and certain other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Pursuant to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and our plan of conversion and reorganization, we have agreed to maintain such registration for a minimum of three years following the conversion and offering.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a public company, Home Federal Bancorp is subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which implements a broad range of corporate governance and accounting measures for public companies designed to promote honesty and transparency in corporate America and better protect investors from corporate wrongdoing. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act's principal legislation and the derivative regulation and rule-making promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission includes:

the creation of an independent accounting oversight board;

auditor independence provisions that restrict non-audit services that accountants may provide to their audit clients;

additional corporate governance and responsibility measures, including the requirement that the chief executive officer and chief financial officer certify financial statements;

a requirement that companies establish and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting and that a company's management provide an annual report regarding its assessment of the effectiveness of such internal control over financial reporting to the company's independent accountants and that such accountants provide an attestation report with respect to management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting;

the forfeiture of bonuses or other incentive-based compensation and profits from the sale of an issuer's securities by directors and senior officers in the twelve month period following initial publication of any financial statements that later require restatement;

an increase in the oversight of, and enhancement of certain requirements relating to audit committees of public companies and how they interact with the company's independent auditors;

the requirement that audit committee members must be independent and are absolutely barred from accepting consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees from the issuer;

Table of Contents

the requirement that companies disclose whether at least one member of the committee is a "financial expert" (as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and if not, why not;

expanded disclosure requirements for corporate insiders, including accelerated reporting of stock transactions by insiders and a prohibition on insider trading during pension blackout periods;

a prohibition on personal loans to directors and officers, except certain loans made by insured financial institutions;

disclosure of a code of ethics and the requirement of filing of a Form 8-K for a change or waiver of such code;

mandatory disclosure by analysts of potential conflicts of interest; and

a range of enhanced penalties for fraud and other violations.

Although Home Federal Bancorp anticipates that it will incur additional expense in complying with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the resulting regulations, management does not expect that such compliance will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

Home Federal Mutual Holding Company

Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, as a federal mutual holding company within the meaning of Section 10(o) of the Home Owners' Loan Act, is subject to Office of Thrift Supervision examination and supervision as well as certain reporting requirements. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and its non-savings bank subsidiaries, if any. Among other things, this authority permits the Office of Thrift Supervision to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of a subsidiary savings bank. Home Federal Mutual Holding Company is subject to the same activities limitations to which Home Federal Bancorp is subject. Following the conversion and offering, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company will cease to exist.

Regulation of Home Federal Savings and Loan Association

General. As the primary federal regulator of Home Federal Savings and Loan, the Office of Thrift Supervision has extensive authority over the operations of federally-chartered savings institutions. As part of this authority, Home Federal Savings and Loan is required to file periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and is subject to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The investment and lending authority of savings institutions are prescribed by federal laws and regulations, and such institutions are prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. Such regulation and supervision is primarily intended for the protection of depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund, formerly the Savings Association Insurance Fund, administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Office of Thrift Supervision's enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their holding companies includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Insurance of Accounts. The deposits of Home Federal Savings and Loan are insured to the maximum extent permitted by the Deposit Insurance Fund and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. As insurer, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is authorized to conduct examinations of, and to require reporting by, insured institutions. It also may prohibit any insured institution from engaging in any activity determined by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving the Office of Thrift Supervision an opportunity to take such action.

Table of Contents

Each FDIC insured institution is assigned to one of three capital groups which are based solely on the level of an institution's capital— "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," and "undercapitalized." These capital levels are defined in the same manner as under the prompt corrective action system discussed below. These three groups are then divided into three subgroups which reflect varying levels of supervisory concern, from those which are considered to be healthy to those which are considered to be of substantial supervisory concern. Assessment rates for insured institutions are determined semi-annually by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and currently range from zero basis points for well-capitalized healthy institutions, such as Home Federal Saving and Loan, to 27 basis points for undercapitalized institutions with substantial supervisory concern.

In addition, all institutions with deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are required to pay assessments to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, a mixed-ownership government corporation established to recapitalize the predecessor to the Savings Association Insurance Fund. The annual assessment rate set for the second quarter of 2007 was 0.0122% of insured deposits and is adjusted quarterly. These assessments will continue until the Financing Corporation bonds mature in 2019.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution, including Home Federal Savings and Loan, if it determines after a hearing that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed by an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital. If insurance of accounts is terminated, the accounts at the institution at the time of the termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period of six months to two years, as determined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management is aware of no existing circumstances which would result in termination of Home Federal Savings and Loan's deposit insurance.

On February 8, 2006, President George W. Bush signed into law legislation that merged the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund to form the Deposit Insurance Fund, eliminated any disparities in bank and thrift risk-based premium assessments, reduced the administrative burden of maintaining and operating two separate funds and established certain new insurance coverage limits and a mechanism for possible periodic increases. The legislation also gave the FDIC greater discretion to identify the relative risks all institutions present to the Deposit Insurance Fund and set risk-based premiums.

Major provisions in the legislation include:

Merging the Savings Association Insurance Fund and Bank Insurance Fund, which became effective March 31, 2006.

Maintaining basic deposit and municipal account insurance coverage at $100,000 but providing for a new basic insurance coverage for retirement accounts of $250,000. Insurance coverage for basic deposit and retirement accounts could be increased for inflation every five years in $10,000 increments beginning in 2011.

Providing the FDIC with the ability to set the designated reserve ratio within a range of between 1.15% and 1.50%, rather than maintaining 1.25% at all times regardless of prevailing economic conditions.

Providing a one-time assessment credit of $4.7 billion to banks and savings associations in existence on December 31, 1996. The institutions qualifying for the credit may use it to offset future premiums with certain limitations.

Requiring the payment of dividends of 100% of the amount that the insurance fund exceeds 1.5% of the estimated insured deposits and the payment of 50% of the amount that the insurance fund exceeds 1.35% of the estimated insured deposits (when the reserve is greater than 1.35% but no more than 1.5%).

Regulatory Capital Requirements. Federally insured savings institutions are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. The Office of Thrift Supervision has established capital standards consisting of a "tangible capital requirement," a "leverage capital requirement" and "a risk-based capital requirement." The Office of Thrift Supervision also is authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis.

Table of Contents

Current Office of Thrift Supervision capital standards require savings institutions to satisfy the following capital requirements:

tangible capital requirement – "tangible" capital equal to at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets;

leverage capital requirement – "core" capital equal to at least 3.0% of adjusted total assets; and

risk-based capital requirement – "total" capital (a combination of core and "supplementary" capital) equal to at least 8.0% of "risk-weighted" assets.

Core capital generally consists of common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings). Tangible capital generally equals core capital minus intangible assets, with only a limited exception for purchased mortgage servicing rights. Home Federal Savings and Loan had no intangible assets at December 31, 2007. Both core and tangible capital are further reduced by an amount equal to a savings institution's debt and equity investments in subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible to national banks (other than subsidiaries engaged in activities undertaken as agent for customers or in mortgage banking activities and subsidiary depository institutions or their holding companies). These adjustments do not affect Home Federal Savings and Loan's regulatory capital.

In determining compliance with the risk-based capital requirement, a savings institution is allowed to include both core capital and supplementary capital in its total capital, provided that the amount of supplementary capital included does not exceed the savings institution's core capital. Supplementary capital generally consists of general allowances for loan losses up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, together with certain other items. In determining the required amount of risk-based capital, total assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, are multiplied by a risk weight based on the risks inherent in the type of assets. The risk weights range from 0% for cash and securities issued by the U.S. Government or unconditionally backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government to 100% for loans (other than qualifying residential loans weighted at 80%) and repossessed assets.

Savings institutions must value securities available for sale at amortized cost for regulatory capital purposes. This means that in computing regulatory capital, savings institutions should add back any unrealized losses and deduct any unrealized gains, net of income taxes, on debt securities reported as a separate component of GAAP capital.

At December 31, 2007, Home Federal Savings and Loan exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements, with tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of 21.82%, 21.82% and 79.67%, respectively.

Any savings institution that fails any of the capital requirements is subject to possible enforcement actions by the Office of Thrift Supervision or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Such actions could include a capital directive, a cease and desist order, civil money penalties, the establishment of restrictions on the institution's operations, termination of federal deposit insurance and the appointment of a conservator or receiver. The Office of Thrift Supervision's capital regulation provides that such actions, through enforcement proceedings or otherwise, could require one or more of a variety of corrective actions.

Prompt Corrective Action. The following table shows the amount of capital associated with the different capital categories set forth in the prompt corrective action regulations.

Capital Category	Total Risk-Based Capital	Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital	Tier 1 Leverage Capital
Well capitalized	10% or more	6% or more	5% or more
Adequately capitalized	8% or more	4% or more	4% or more
Undercapitalized	Less than 8%	Less than 4%	Less than 4%
Significantly undercapitalized	Less than 6%	Less than 3%	Less than 3%

In addition, an institution is "critically undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%. Under specified circumstances, a federal banking agency may reclassify a well capitalized institution as adequately capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized institution or an undercapitalized institution to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category (except that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may not reclassify a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized).

An institution generally must file a written capital restoration plan which meets specified requirements within 45 days of the date that the institution receives notice or is deemed to have notice that it is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. A federal banking agency must provide the institution with written notice of approval or disapproval within 60 days after receiving a capital restoration plan, subject to extensions by the agency. An institution which is required to submit a capital restoration plan must concurrently submit a performance guaranty by each company that controls the institution. In addition, undercapitalized institutions are subject to various regulatory restrictions, and the appropriate federal banking agency also may take any number of discretionary supervisory actions.

At December 31, 2007, Home Federal Savings and Loan was deemed a well capitalized institution for purposes of the above regulations and as such is not subject to the above mentioned restrictions.

The table below sets forth Home Federal Savings and Loan's capital position relative to its regulatory capital requirements at December 31, 2007.

Capital Distributions. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations govern capital distributions by savings institutions, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the capital account of a savings institution to make capital distributions. A savings institution must file an application for Office of Thrift Supervision approval of the capital distribution if either (1) the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the institution's net income for that year to date plus the institution's retained net income for the preceding two years, (2) the institution would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution, (3) the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or Office of Thrift Supervision-imposed condition, or (4) the institution is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings. If an application is not required to be filed, savings institutions which are a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company (as well as certain other institutions) must still file a notice with the Office of Thrift Supervision at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. All savings institutions are required to meet a qualified thrift lender, or QTL, test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. A savings institution can comply with the QTL test by either qualifying as a domestic building and loan association as defined in the Internal Revenue Code or meeting the Office of Thrift Supervision QTL test.

Currently, the Office of Thrift Supervision QTL test requires that 65% of an institution's "portfolio assets" (as defined) consist of certain housing and consumer-related assets on a monthly average basis in nine out of every 12 months. To be a qualified thrift lender under the IRS test, the savings institution must meet a "business operations test" and a "60 percent assets test," each defined in the Internal Revenue Code.

If the savings institution fails to maintain its QTL status, the holding company's activities are restricted. In addition, it must discontinue any non-permissible business, although the Office of Thrift Supervision may grant a grace period up to two years for good cause. Nonetheless, any company that controls a savings institution that is not a qualified thrift lender must register as a bank holding company within one year of the savings institution's failure to meet the QTL test.

Statutory penalty provisions require an institution that fails to remain a QTL to either become a national bank or be prohibited from the following:

Table of Contents

Making any new investments or engaging in any new activity not allowed for both a national bank and a savings association;

Establishing any new branch office unless allowable for a national bank; and

Paying dividends unless allowable for a national bank.

Three years from the date a savings association should have become or ceases to be a QTL, by failing to meet either QTL test, the institution must comply with the following restriction:

Dispose of any investment or not engage in any activity unless the investment or activity is allowed for both a national bank and a savings association.

At December 31, 2007, the qualified thrift investments of Home Federal Savings and Loan were approximately 95.2% of its portfolio assets.

Affiliate Transaction Restrictions. Federal laws strictly limit the ability of savings institutions to engage in transactions with their affiliates, including their savings and loan holding companies. Except for certain exceptions set forth in the Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, a savings association must comply with sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W which implements those statutory provisions. Those statutory and regulatory provisions apply to transactions between a subsidiary institution and its parent company or the non-savings institution subsidiaries of the savings and loan holding company and are limited to 10% of a savings institution's capital and surplus and, with respect to such parent company and all such non-savings institution subsidiaries, to an aggregate of 20% of the savings institution's capital and surplus. Further, loans and extensions of credit generally are required to be secured by eligible collateral in specified amounts. Federal law also requires that all transactions between a savings institution and its affiliates be on terms as favorable to the savings institution as transactions with non-affiliates. Home Federal Savings and Loan believes that all transactions between it and its affiliates at December 31, 2007 were on terms as favorable to it as its transactions with non-affiliates.

Privacy Requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 provided for sweeping financial modernization for commercial banks, savings banks, securities firms, insurance companies, and other financial institutions operating in the United States. Among other provisions, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution's privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to "opt out" of the sharing of personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.

Anti-Money Laundering. On October 26, 2001, in response to the events of September 11, 2001, the President of the United States signed into law the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (referred to as the USA PATRIOT Act). The USA PATRIOT Act significantly expands the responsibilities of financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, in preventing the use of the U.S. financial system to fund terrorist activities. Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act provides for a significant overhaul of the U.S. anti-money laundering regime. Among other provisions, it requires financial institutions operating in the United States to develop new anti-money laundering compliance programs, due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance requirements, also applicable to financial institutions, under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulations. We have established policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act's provisions, and the impact of the USA PATRIOT Act on our operations has not been material.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. Home Federal Savings and Loan is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks that administers the home financing credit function of savings institutions. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank. At December 31, 2007, Home Federal Savings and Loan had $15.9 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Table of Contents

As a member, Home Federal Savings and Loan is required to purchase and maintain stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas in an amount equal to at least 1% of its aggregate unpaid residential mortgage loans or similar obligations at the beginning of each year. At December 31, 2007, Home Federal Savings and Loan had $780,000 in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.

The Federal Home Loan Banks are required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled savings institutions and to contribute to affordable housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have adversely affected the level of Federal Home Loan Bank dividends paid in the past and could do so in the future. These contributions also could have an adverse effect on the value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock in the future.

Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and Super NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or a noninterest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of this reserve requirement is to reduce an institution's earning assets. At December 31, 2007, Home Federal Savings and Loan had met its reserve requirement.

TAXATION

Federal Taxation

General. Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations with some exceptions listed below. The following discussion of federal and state income taxation is only intended to summarize certain pertinent income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the applicable tax rules. Home Federal Savings and Loan's tax returns have not been audited during the past five years.

Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, Home Federal Savings and Loan reports income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and used a December 31 tax year in 2004 for filing its federal income tax return and transitioned to a June 30 tax year in 2005.

Bad Debt Reserves. The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 eliminated the use of the reserve method of accounting for bad debt reserves by savings associations, effective for taxable years beginning after 1995. Prior to that time, Home Federal Savings and Loan was permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts and to make additions to the reserve. These additions could, within specified formula limits, be deducted in arriving at taxable income. As a result of the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, savings associations must use the experience method in computing their bad debt deduction beginning with their 1996 federal tax return. In addition, federal legislation required the recapture over a six year period of the excess of tax bad debt reserves at December 31, 1995 over those established as of December 31, 1987.

Taxable Distributions and Recapture. Prior to the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, bad debt reserves created prior to January 1, 1988 were subject to recapture into taxable income if Home Federal Savings and Loan failed to meet certain thrift asset and definitional tests. New federal legislation eliminated these savings association related recapture rules. However, under current law, pre-1988 reserves remain subject to recapture should Home Federal Savings and Loan make certain non-dividend distributions or cease to maintain a bank charter.

At December 31, 2007, the total federal pre-1988 reserve was approximately $3.3 million. The reserve reflects the cumulative effects of federal tax deductions by Home Federal Savings and Loan for which no federal income tax provisions have been made.

Alternative Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences. The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent such alternative minimum tax income is in excess of the regular income tax. Net operating losses, of which Home Federal Savings and Loan has none, can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. Home Federal Savings and Loan has not been subject to the alternative minimum tax or any such amounts available as credits for carryover.

Table of Contents

Corporate Dividends-Received Deduction. Home Federal Bancorp may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from Home Federal Savings and Loan as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations. The corporate dividends received deduction is 80% in the case of dividends received from corporations which a corporate recipient owns less than 80%, but at least 20% of the distribution corporation. Corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct only 70% of dividends received.

State Taxation

Home Federal Bancorp is subject to the Louisiana Corporation Income Tax based on our Louisiana taxable income. The Corporation Income Tax applies at graduated rates from 4% upon the first $25,000 of Louisiana taxable income to 8% on all Louisiana taxable income in excess of $200,000. For these purposes, "Louisiana taxable income" means net income which is earned by us within or derived from sources within the State of Louisiana, after adjustments permitted under Louisiana law, including a federal income tax deduction. In addition, Home Federal Savings and Loan will be subject to the Louisiana Shares Tax which is imposed on the assessed value of a company's stock. The formula for deriving the assessed value is to calculate 15% of the sum of:

(a)

20% of our capitalized earnings, plus

(b)

80% of our taxable stockholders' equity, minus

(c)

50% of our real and personal property assessment

Various items may also be subtracted in calculating a company's capitalized earnings.

MANAGEMENT

Management of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan

Board of Directors. The board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp, the proposed new holding company, will be divided into three classes, each of which will contain one-third of the board.

Director Compensation. Directors of the proposed new holding company who also serve as directors of Home Federal Saving and Loan initially will not be compensated by the new holding company but will be compensated by Home Federal Savings and Loan for such service. Messrs. Rice and Simpson, who will only serve as directors of the new holding company will be compensated by the new holding company. It is not anticipated that separate compensation will be paid to the new holding company's directors who also serve as directors of Home Federal Savings and Loan until such time as such persons devote significant time to the separate management of the new holding company's affairs, which is not expected to occur unless we become actively engaged in additional businesses other than holding the stock of Home Federal Savings and Loan. We may determine that such compensation is appropriate in the future. The primary elements of Home Federal Savings and Loan's non-employee director compensation program consist of equity compensation and cash compensation.

From July 2006 to March 2007, members of Home Federal Savings and Loan's Board of Directors received $600 per regular Board meeting held. Beginning in April 2007, regular Board meeting fees were increased to $750 per meeting. Members of Home Federal Savings and Loan's committees received $50 per committee meeting attended. Meetings of the Board or committees held telephonically are not paid. The members of the Board may also receive bonuses in June and December of each year. Board fees are subject to periodic adjustment by the Board of Directors.

During Mr. Boudreaux's tenure, he was instrumental in addressing and correcting several weaknesses in City Bank that had resulted in several supervisory agreements since 1985. The assets of City Bank increased from $18.0 million in 1987 to $68.0 million as of December 31, 1997 prior to its acquisition.

Membership on Certain Board Committees After the Merger

Following completion of the merger, we expect the Board of Directors of the new holding company to establish an audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. All of the members of these committees will be independent directors as defined in the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Such committees will operate in accordance with written charters which we expect to have available on our website. We do not expect that any members of the audit committee will meet the qualifications established for an audit committee financial expert in the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, however the members will have the requisite financial and accounting background to meet the Nasdaq listing standards. The following table sets forth the proposed membership of such committees.

Proposed Employment Agreements

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, the Board of Directors of Home Federal Savings and Loan approved employment agreements with Messrs. Herndon and Boudreaux to be effective on completion of the conversion and offering and the merger. Pursuant to the employment agreements, Messrs. Herndon and Boudreaux will serve as Chairman of the Board and as President and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, for a term of three years commencing upon execution of the agreements which is expected to occur at the time the merger is closed. On each day during the term of the employment period, the terms of the employment agreements are automatically extended for one additional day unless Home Federal Savings and Loan or the executive gives notice to the other party not to extend the agreements. At least annually, the Board of Directors of Home Federal Savings and Loan will consider whether to continue to renew the employment agreements. The employment agreements provide for initial base salaries of $172,500 per year for each of Messrs. Herndon and Boudreaux. Such salaries may be increased at the discretion of the Board of Directors of Home Federal Savings and Loan but may not be decreased during the term of the agreements without the prior written consent of Messrs. Herndon or Boudreaux. Home Federal Savings and Loan Association also agreed to provide each of Messrs. Herndon and Boudreaux with an automobile during the term of the agreements as well as life insurance providing a death benefit of not less than two times the executive's base salary.

The employment agreements will be terminable with or without cause by Home Federal Savings and Loan. The employment agreements provide that in the event of a wrongful termination of employment (including a voluntary termination by Messrs. Herndon or Boudreaux as a result of a material breach of the agreement by Home Federal Savings and Loan or for "good reason" following a change in control of Home Federal Bancorp or Home Federal Savings and Loan, including a change in the executive's position, salary or duties without his consent), each of Messrs. Herndon and Boudreaux would be entitled to (1) an amount of cash severance which is equal to three times the sum of his base salary as of the date of termination plus his prior calendar year's bonus and (2) continued participation in certain employee benefit plans of Home Federal Savings and Loan, including medical and dental plans, until the earlier of 36 months or the date the executive receives substantially similar benefits from full-time employment with another employer. The employment agreements with Home Federal Savings and Loan provide that in the event any of the payments to be made thereunder or otherwise upon termination of employment are deemed to constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then such payments and benefits received thereunder shall be reduced by the minimum amount necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits being non-deductible by Home Federal Savings and Loan for federal income tax purposes. Parachute payments generally are payments equal to or greater than three times the executive's base amount, which is defined to mean the executive's average annual compensation from the employer includable in the executive's gross income during the most recent five taxable years ending before the year in which a change in control of the employer occurs. Recipients of parachute payments are subject to a 20% excise tax on the amount by which such payments exceed the base amount, in addition to regular income taxes, and payments in excess of the base amount are not deductible by the employer as compensation expense for federal income tax purposes.

The board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp has also approved employment agreements with Messrs. Herndon and Boudreaux which will be on terms substantially similar to the agreements with Home Federal Savings and Loan, except as provided below. The agreements with Home Federal Bancorp also will be executed and take effect at the time the merger is closed. The Home Federal Bancorp agreements provide that severance payments payable to Messrs. Herndon and Boudreaux by Home Federal Bancorp shall include the amount by which the severance benefits payable by Home Federal Savings and Loan are reduced as a result of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, if the parachute payments exceed 105% of three times the executive's "base amount" as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. If the parachute payments are not more than 105% of the amount equal to three times the executive's base amount, the severance benefits payable by Home Federal Bancorp will be reduced so they do not constitute "parachute payments" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the agreements with Home Federal Bancorp provide that Home Federal Bancorp shall reimburse Messrs. Herndon and Boudreaux for any resulting excise taxes payable by them, plus such additional amount as may be necessary to compensate them for the payment of state and federal income, excise and other employment-related taxes on the additional payments. Under the employment agreements, the executive's compensation, benefits and expenses will be paid by Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan in the same proportion as the time and services actually expended by the executives on behalf of each company.

Related Party Transactions

During fiscal 2007, Home Federal Savings and Loan has had, and expects to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with its directors and officers, and other related parties. These transactions have been made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral, and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with persons not related to Home Federal Savings and Loan. The extensions of credit to these persons have not and do not currently involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. None of these loans or other extensions of credit are disclosed as non-accrual, past due, restructured or potential problem loans.

Under Home Federal Bancorp's Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee is required to review and approve all related party transactions, as described in Item 404 of Regulation S-K of the SEC's rules. To the extent such transactions are ongoing business relationships with Home Federal Bancorp or Home Federal Savings and Loan, such transactions shall be reviewed annually and such relationships shall be on terms not materially less favorable than what would be usual and customary in similar transactions between unrelated persons dealing at arms' length.

New Stock Benefit Plans

Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Home Federal Savings and Loan has established an employee stock ownership plan for its employees which previously acquired 113,887 shares of Home Federal Bancorp's common stock on behalf of participants. Employees who have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a 12-month period and who have attained age 21 are eligible to participate in Home Federal Savings and Loan's employee stock ownership plan.

As part of the conversion and offering, the employee stock ownership plan intends to purchase a number of shares of the new holding company's common stock equal to 4.0% of the shares sold in the offering, or 72,000 shares and 82,800 shares based on the midpoint and maximum of the offering range, respectively. We anticipate that the employee stock ownership plan will borrow funds from the new holding company, and that such loan will equal 100% of the aggregate purchase price of the common stock acquired by the employee stock ownership plan and have a term of 15 years. The new holding company has agreed to loan the employee stock ownership plan the funds necessary to purchase shares. The loan to the employee stock ownership plan will be repaid principally from Home Federal Savings and Loan's contributions to the employee stock ownership plan and the collateral for the loan will be the common stock purchased by the employee stock ownership plan. The interest rate for the employee stock ownership plan loan will be fixed and is expected to be at Home Federal Savings and Loan's prime rate at the date the employee stock ownership plan enters into the loan. The new holding company may, in any plan year, make additional discretionary contributions for the benefit of plan participants in either cash or shares of common stock, which may be acquired through the purchase of outstanding shares in the market or from individual shareholders, upon the original issuance of additional shares by the new holding company or upon the sale of treasury shares by the new holding company. Such purchases, if made, would be funded through additional borrowings by the employee stock ownership plan or additional contributions from the new holding company or from Home Federal Savings and Loan. The timing, amount and manner of future contributions to the employee stock ownership plan will be affected by various factors, including prevailing regulatory policies, the requirements of applicable laws and regulations and market conditions.

Shares purchased by the new holding company's employee stock ownership plan with the loan proceeds will be held in a suspense account and released for allocation to participants on a pro rata basis as debt service payments are made. Shares released from the employee stock ownership plan will be allocated to each eligible participant's plan account based on the ratio of each such participant's compensation to the total compensation of all eligible employee stock ownership plan participants. Forfeitures may be used for several purposes such as the payment of expenses or be reallocated among remaining participating employees. Upon the completion of three years of service, the account balances of participants within the employee stock ownership plan becomes 100% vested. In the case of a "change in control," as defined in the plan, however, participants will become immediately fully vested in their account balances. Participants also become fully vested in their account balances upon death, disability or retirement. Benefits may be payable upon retirement or separation from service.

Table of Contents

Generally accepted accounting principles require that any third party borrowing by the new holding company's employee stock ownership plan be reflected as a liability on its statement of financial condition. Since the employee stock ownership plan is borrowing from the new holding company, the loan will not be treated as a liability but instead will be excluded from shareholders' equity. If the employee stock ownership plan purchases newly issued shares from the new holding company, total shareholders' equity would neither increase nor decrease, but per share shareholders' equity and per share net earnings would decrease as the newly issued shares are allocated to the employee stock ownership plan participants.

Home Federal Savings and Loan's employee stock ownership plan is subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the applicable regulations of the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor.

Stock Option Plan. Following consummation of the conversion and offering, we intend to adopt a new stock option plan, which will be designed to attract and retain qualified personnel in key positions, provide directors, officers and key employees with a proprietary interest in the new holding company as an incentive to contribute to its success and reward key employees for outstanding performance. The new stock option plan will provide for the grant of incentive stock options, intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and non-incentive or compensatory stock options. Options may be granted to our directors and key employees. The new stock option plan will be administered and interpreted by a committee of the board of directors. Unless sooner terminated, the new stock option plan shall continue in effect for a period of 10 years from the date the stock option plan is adopted by the board of directors.

Under the new stock option plan, the committee will determine which directors, officers and key employees will be granted options, whether options will be incentive or compensatory options, the number of shares subject to each option, the exercise price of each option, whether options may be exercised by delivering other shares of common stock and when such options become exercisable. The per share exercise price of an incentive stock option must at least equal the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the option is granted (110% of fair market value in the case of incentive stock options granted to employees who are 5% shareholders).

At a meeting of the new holding company's shareholders after the conversion and offering, which under applicable Office of Thrift Supervision policies may be held no earlier than six months after the completion of the conversion and offering, we intend to present the stock option plan to shareholders for approval and to reserve an amount equal to 7.68% of the shares of the new holding company common stock sold in the offering, which is 138,240 shares or 158,976 shares based on the midpoint and maximum of the offering range, respectively, for issuance under the new stock option plan. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations provide that, in the event such plan is implemented within one year after the conversion and offering, no individual officer or employee of the new holding company may receive more than 25% of the options granted under the new stock option plan and non-employee directors may not receive more than 5% individually, or 30% in the aggregate of the options granted under the new stock option plan. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations also provide that the exercise price of any options granted under any such plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant. Further, options under such plan generally are required to vest over a five year period at 20% per year. Each stock option or portion thereof will be exercisable at any time on or after it vests and will be exercisable until 10 years after its date of grant or for periods of up to five years following the death, disability or other termination of the optionee's employment or service as a director. However, failure to exercise incentive stock options within three months after the date on which the optionee's employment terminates may result in the loss of incentive stock option treatment. We currently anticipate that the new stock option plan will be submitted to shareholders of the new holding company within one year, but not earlier than six months from, the date of completion of the conversion and offering. Accordingly, we expect that the above described limitations imposed by regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision would be applicable. However, we reserve the right to submit the new stock option plan to shareholders more than one year from the date of the conversion and offering, in which event the above-described Office of Thrift Supervision regulations may not be fully applicable. The Office of Thrift Supervision requires that stock option plans implemented by institutions within one year of a conversion and offering must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock. Stock option plans implemented more than one year after a conversion and offering could be approved by the affirmative vote of the shares present and voting at the meeting of shareholders called to consider such plans.

At the time an option is granted pursuant to the new stock option plan, the recipient will not be required to make any payment in consideration for such grant. With respect to incentive or compensatory stock options, the optionee will be required to pay the applicable exercise price at the time of exercise in order to receive the underlying shares of common stock. The shares reserved for issuance under the new stock option plan may be authorized but previously unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares purchased by the new holding company on the open market or from private sources. In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend, the number of shares of common stock under the new stock option plan, the number of shares to which any option relates and the exercise price per share under any option shall be adjusted to reflect such increase or decrease in the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Table of Contents

Under current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the federal income tax treatment of incentive stock options and compensatory stock options is different. A holder of incentive stock options who meets certain holding period requirements will not recognize income at the time the option is granted or at the time the option is exercised, and a federal income tax deduction generally will not be available to the new holding company at any time as a result of such grant or exercise. With respect to compensatory stock options, the difference between the fair market value on the date of exercise and the option exercise price generally will be treated as compensation income upon exercise, and the new holding company will be entitled to a deduction in the amount of income so recognized by the optionee.

Recognition and Retention Plan. After the conversion and offering, the new holding company intends to adopt a stock recognition and retention plan for its directors, officers and employees. The objective of the stock recognition and retention plan will be to enable us to provide directors, officers and employees with a proprietary interest in the new holding company as an incentive to contribute to its success. We intend to present the stock recognition and retention plan to the new holding company's shareholders for their approval at a meeting of shareholders which, pursuant to applicable Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, may be held no earlier than six months after the conversion and offering.

The recognition and retention plan will be administered by a committee of Home Federal Bancorp's board of directors, which will have the responsibility to invest all funds contributed to the trust created for the stock recognition and retention plan. The new holding company will contribute sufficient funds to the trust so that it can purchase, following the receipt of shareholder approval, a number of shares equal to 3.07% of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock sold in the offering, which is 55,260 shares or 63,549 shares based on the midpoint and maximum of the offering range, respectively. Shares of common stock granted pursuant to the recognition and retention plan generally will be in the form of restricted stock vesting at a rate to be determined by Home Federal Bancorp's board of directors or a board committee. Currently, we expect that shares granted under the recognition and retention plan will vest over a five year period at a rate no faster than 20% per year. For accounting purposes, compensation expense in the amount of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant to the recipient will be recognized pro rata over the period during which the shares vest. A recipient will be entitled to all voting and other shareholder rights, except that the shares, while restricted, may not be sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of and are required to be held in the trust. Under the terms of the recognition and retention plan, recipients of awards will be entitled to instruct the trustees of the recognition and retention plan as to how the underlying shares should be voted, and the trustees will be entitled to vote all unallocated shares in their discretion. If a recipient's employment is terminated as a result of death or disability, all restrictions will expire and all allocated shares will become unrestricted. We will be able to terminate the recognition and retention plan at any time, and if we do so, any shares not allocated will revert to the new holding company. Recipients of grants under the recognition and retention plan will not be required to make any payment at the time of grant or when the underlying shares of common stock become vested, other than payment of withholding taxes.

We currently anticipate that the stock recognition and retention plan will be submitted to shareholders of the new holding company within one year, but not earlier than six months from, the date of completion of the conversion and offering. Accordingly, we expect that the above described limitations imposed by regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision would be applicable. However, we reserve the right to submit the stock recognition and retention plan to shareholders more than one year from the date of the conversion and reorganization, in which event the above-described Office of Thrift Supervision regulations may not be fully applicable.

Excludes shares which may be received upon the exercise of outstanding and exercisable stock options. Based upon the exchange ratio of 0.7493 of the new holding company shares for each share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock at the midpoint of the estimated valuation range, the persons named in the table would have options to purchase our common stock as follows: 2,240 shares for each of Messrs.

Except as set forth in the table below none of such persons are eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders or other members for purposes of purchasing shares of the new holding company common stock in the conversion and offering. If such persons' shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, assuming none of the First Louisiana Bancshares options held by them are exercised prior to the completion of the merger, are included, based on the merger exchange ratio, all directors and executive officers of the new holding company and/or Home Federal Savings and Loan following completion of the merger (19 persons) would be deemed to own 768,968 shares of the new holding company common stock, or 18.6% at the midpoint of the offering range and assuming 757,589 merger exchange shares are issued in the merger. The table set forth below includes information with respect to the number of merger exchange shares to be received by the directors and executive officers of First Louisiana Bancshares and First Louisiana Bank who will become directors or executive officers of Home Federal Bancorp and/or Home Federal Savings and Loan after completion of the merger. Also includes the number of shares proposed to be purchased in the conversion and offering by such persons if they have subscription rights as a result of being depositors of Home Federal Savings and Loan. For purposes of this table, none of the options to purchase First Louisiana Bancshares common stock held by directors and executive officers of First Louisiana Bancshares are assumed to have been exercised prior to the merger.

THE CONVERSION AND OFFERING

The Boards of Directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan all have approved the plan of conversion and reorganization. The plan of conversion and reorganization also has been conditionally approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision, subject to approval by the members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and the shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp. Such Office of Thrift Supervision approval, however, does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the plan of conversion and reorganization by such agency.

General

The Boards of Directors of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan unanimously adopted the plan of conversion and reorganization effective December 11, 2007, as amended on April 21, 2008. The plan of conversion and reorganization has been approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision, subject to, among other things, approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization by the members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and the shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp. The special meeting of members and of shareholders have been called for this purpose on ___________, 2008.

In connection with the conversion and offering, Home Federal Bancorp will acquire First Louisiana Bancshares in a merger, whereby First Louisiana Bancshares will be merged with and into Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares' wholly-owned subsidiary, First Louisiana Bank, will be merged with and into Home Federal Savings and Loan. In connection with the merger, First Louisiana Bancshares' stockholders will be given the opportunity to exchange their shares of First Louisiana Bancshares' common stock for $28.00 in cash, 2.8 shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, or a combination thereof, subject to the election and proration procedures set forth in the merger agreement whereby approximately 60.0% of the First Louisiana Bancshares will be exchanged for shares of common stock of the new holding company. The merger will not occur unless the conversion is completed. In addition, the conversion and offering will be terminated if the emreger is not completed. For more information on the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares, see "The Acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares." The completion of the conversion and offering and the merger are expected to occur substanially simultaneously on the same day.

The following is a brief summary of the conversion and offering and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the plan of conversion and reorganization. A copy of the plan of conversion and reorganization is available for inspection at each branch office of Home Federal Savings and Loan and at the Dallas Regional and Washington D.C. offices of the Office of Thrift Supervision. The plan of conversion and reorganization also is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this document is a part, copies of which may be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission. See "Where You Can Find Additional Information."

Purposes of the Conversion and Offering

Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, as a mutual holding company, does not have shareholders and has no authority to issue capital stock. As a result of the conversion and offering, Home Federal Bancorp will be structured in the form used by holding companies of commercial banks, most business entities and a growing number of savings institutions. The conversion and offering will facilitate the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares by enabling us to issue stock and raise cash to pay the merger consideration. The conversion and offering will also be important to our future growth and performance by providing a larger capital base to support our operations and by enhancing our future access to capital markets, ability to continue to grow our asset base, through additional new branches, further acquisitions or otherwise, and to diversify into other financial services related activities and to provide additional services to the public. Although Home Federal Bancorp currently has the ability to raise additional capital through the sale of additional shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, that ability is limited by the mutual holding company structure which, among other things, requires that Home Federal Mutual Holding Company always hold a majority of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock.

The conversion and offering also will result in an increase in the number of shares of common stock held by public shareholders, as compared to the current number of outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, which we expect will facilitate development of a more active and liquid trading market for our common stock. See "Market for Our Common Stock."

Table of Contents

Home Federal Savings and Loan remains committed to controlled growth and diversification and believes the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares will materially further the implementation of its business plan. The additional funds received in the conversion and reorganization will facilitate Home Federal Savings and Loan's ability to continue to grow in accordance with its business plan, through both internal growth and possible acquisitions of other institutions or through the expansion of its branch office network. We believe that the conversion and reorganization will enhance Home Federal Savings and Loan's ability to continue its growth through possible acquisitions and will support its ability to more fully serve the borrowing and other financial needs of the communities it serves.

In light of the foregoing, the Boards of Directors of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan believe that it is in the best interests of such companies and their respective members and shareholders to continue to implement our strategic business plan, and that the most feasible way to do so is through the conversion and reorganization.

Description of the Conversion and Offering

The conversion and offering will result in the elimination of the mutual holding company, the creation of a new stock form holding company which will own all of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Savings and Loan, the exchange of shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp by public shareholders for shares of the new stock form holding company, the issuance and sale of additional shares to depositors and certain borrowers of Home Federal Savings and Loan and others in the offering. The conversion and offering will be accomplished through a series of substantially simultaneous and interdependent transactions as follows:

Home Federal Bancorp will convert to a federal interim stock savings institution and simultaneously merge with and into Home Federal Savings and Loan with Home Federal Savings and Loan being the survivor and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company will convert from mutual form to a federal interim stock savings institution and simultaneously merge with and into Home Federal Savings and Loan, pursuant to which the mutual holding company will cease to exist and the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock held by the mutual holding company will be canceled; and

an interim savings association will be formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the newly formed Louisiana holding company, and then will merge with and into Home Federal Savings and Loan.

As a result of the above transactions, Home Federal Savings and Loan will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new holding company, and the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will be converted into the shares of the new holding company common stock pursuant to the exchange ratio, which will result in the holders of such shares owning in the aggregate approximately the same percentage of the new Home Federal Bancorp common stock to be outstanding upon the completion of the conversion and offering as the percentage of Home Federal Bancorp common stock owned by them in the aggregate immediately prior to consummation of the conversion and offering before giving effect to (a) the payment of cash in lieu of issuing fractional exchange shares, and (b) any shares of common stock purchased by public shareholders in the offering. Home Federal Bancorp will then change its name to "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc." following the merger.

Consummation of the conversion and offering is conditioned upon the approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization by (1) the Office of Thrift Supervision, (2) at least a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company at the special meeting of members and (3) holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the outstanding Home Federal Bancorp common stock at the special meeting of shareholders. In addition, the consummation of the conversion and offering is conditioned on the approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization by at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock excluding Home Federal Mutual Holding Company at the special meeting of shareholders.

Effect of the Conversion and Offering on Public Shareholders

Based on the independent valuation, the 63.1% of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock held by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company as of the date of the independent valuation and the 36.9% public ownership interest of Home Federal Bancorp, the following table sets forth, at the minimum, mid-point, maximum, and adjusted maximum of the offering range:

the total number of shares of common stock to be issued in the conversion and offering;

the total shares of common stock outstanding after the conversion and offering (not including merger shares);

the exchange ratio; and

the number of shares an owner of 100 shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will receive in the exchange, adjusted for the number of shares sold in the offering.

	Shares to be sold In the offering					Shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock to be exchanged for new Home Federal Bancorp common stock					Total shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock to be issued in the conversion and offering		Exchange ratio		100 shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock would be exchanged for the following number of shares of new Home Federal Bancorp(1)		Value of new Home Federal Bancorp shares to be received in exchange for 100 shares of Home Federal Bancorp stock assuming value at $10.00 per Share

As indicated in the table above, the exchange ratio ranges from a minimum of 0.6369 to a maximum of 0.8617 shares of New Home Federal Bancorp common stock for each share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock. Under certain circumstances, the pro forma market value may be adjusted upward to reflect changes in market conditions, and, at the adjusted maximum, the exchange ratio would be 0.9909 shares of New Home Federal Bancorp common stock for each share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock. Shares of New Home Federal Bancorp common stock issued in the share exchange will have an initial value of $10.00 per share. Depending on the exchange ratio and the market value of Home Federal Bancorp common stock at the time of the exchange, the initial market value of the New Home Federal Bancorp common stock that existing Home Federal Bancorp shareholders receive in the share exchange could be less than the market value of the Home Federal Bancorp common stock that such persons currently own. If the conversion and offering is completed at the minimum of the offering range, each share of Home Federal Bancorp would be converted into 0.6369 shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock with an initial value of $6.37 based on the $10.00 offering price in the conversion. This compares to the closing sale price of $ per share price for Home Federal Bancorp common stock on May , 2008, as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board. The decline in the initial value of the New Home Federal Bancorp common stock received in exchange for Home Federal Bancorp common stock could be even greater if the market price for Home Federal Bancorp common stock increases prior to the completion of conversion and offering. In addition, as discussed in “-Effect on Shareholders’ Equity per Share of the Shares Exchanged”, pro forma stockholders’ equity following the conversion and offering and the merger will range between $16.27 and $14.39 at the minimum and the maximum of the offering range, respectively. As a result of the exchange ratio, the estimated pro forma stockholders’ equity per share that existing Home Federal Bancorp shareholders would range from $10.36 to $12.40 at the minimum and the maximum, respectively, of the offering range since the exchange ratio is less than one for one.

Ownership of Home Federal Bancorp After the Conversion and Offering and the Merger

The following table shows information regarding the shares of common stock that Home Federal Bancorp will issue in the conversion and offering and the merger. The table also shows the number of shares that will be owned by Home Federal Bancorp's public shareholders at the completion of the conversion and offering who will receive the new holding company's common stock in exchange for their existing shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock.

Information is presented at the adjusted minimum of the offering range to reflect the discretionary issuance of unsubscribed shares to shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares and at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based, in part, on our independent appraisal.

(1)

If we do not receive orders for at least 1,360,000 shares in the offering, then, at our discretion in order to issue the minimum of shares necessary to complete the conversion and offering up to 204,000 unsubscribed offering shares may be issued to shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares as merger consideration. Assumes that 204,000 unsubscribed shares are so issued, that 1,156,000 shares are exchanged for cash, and that all 1,360,000 of such shares are issued in the offering.

(2)	As adjusted to give effect to an increase in the number of shares that could occur due to an increase in the offering range up to approximately 15% to reflect changes in market and financial conditions before the conversion and offering is completed.

Effect on Shareholders' Equity per Share of the Shares Exchanged. As adjusted for the exchange ratio, the conversion and offering and the merger will increase the stockholders' equity per share of the current shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp common stock. At December 31, 2007, the stockholders' equity per share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock including shares held by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company was $9.00. Based on the pro forma information set forth for December 31, 2007, in "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data," pro forma stockholders' equity per share following the conversion and offering and the merger will be $16.62, $16.27, $15.24, $14.39 and $13.59 at the adjusted minimum, minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum, respectively, of the offering range. As adjusted at that date for the exchange ratio, the effective stockholders' equity per share for current shareholders would be $10.62, $10.36, $11.42, $12.40 and $13.43 at the adjusted minimum, minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum, respectively, of the offering range.

Effect on Earnings per Share of the Shares Exchanged. As adjusted for exchange ratio, the conversion and offering and the merger will also increase the pro forma earnings per share. For the six months ended December 31, 2007, basic earnings per share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock was $0.08, including shares held by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company. Based on the pro forma information set forth for the six months ended December 31, 2007, in "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data," earnings per share of common stock following the conversion and offering and the merger will range from $0.13 to $0.10, respectively, for the adjusted minimum to the adjusted maximum of the offering range. As adjusted at that date for the exchange ratio, the effective annualized earnings per share for current shareholders would range from $0.08 to $0.10, respectively, for the adjusted minimum to the adjusted maximum of the offering range.

Effect on the Market and Appraised Value of the Shares Exchanged. The aggregate subscription price of the shares of common stock received in exchange for the publicly held shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock is $7.9 million, $7.9 million, $9.4 million, $10.8 million, and $12.4 million at the adjusted minimum, minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum, respectively, of the offering range. The last trade of Home Federal Bancorp common stock on December 11, 2007, the last trading day preceding the announcement of the conversion and offering and the merger, was $10.30 per share, and the price at which Home Federal Bancorp common stock last traded on __________, 2008 was $_____ per share. The equivalent price per share for each share of Home Federal Bancorp exchanged by existing Home Federal Bancorp shareholders will be $6.56, $7.72, $8.88 and $10.21 at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum, respectively, of the offering range.

Dissenters' and Appraisal Rights. The public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will not have dissenters' rights or appraisal rights in connection with the exchange of publicly held shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock as part of the conversion and offering.

Effects of the Conversion and Offering on Depositors, Borrowers and Members

General. Prior to the conversion and offering, each member of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company has both a deposit account in the institution and a pro rata ownership interest in the net worth of Home Federal Savings and Loan based upon the balance in his account, which interest may only be realized in the event of a liquidation of Home Federal Savings and Loan. However, this ownership interest is tied to the depositor's account and has no tangible market value separate from such deposit account. A depositor who reduces or closes his account receives a portion or all of the balance in the account but nothing for his ownership interest in the net worth of Home Federal Savings and Loan, which is lost to the extent that the balance in the account is reduced or closed.

Consequently, the depositors in a stock subsidiary of a mutual holding company normally have no way to realize the value of their ownership interest, which has realizable value only in the unlikely event that Home Federal Savings and Loan is liquidated. In such event, the depositors of record at that time, as owners, would share pro rata in any residual surplus and reserves of Home Federal Savings and Loan after other claims are paid.

Continuity. While the conversion and offering and the merger are being accomplished, the normal business of Home Federal Savings and Loan of accepting deposits and making loans will continue without interruption. Home Federal Savings and Loan will continue to be subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision. After the conversion and offering and the merger, Home Federal Savings and Loan will continue to provide services for depositors and borrowers under current policies by its present management and staff.

The current Board of Directors of Home Federal Bancorp is composed of the same individuals who serve on the Boards of Directors of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan. The directors of the new holding company after the conversion and offering and the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares will be the current directors of Home Federal Bancorp, except that in connection with the merger, seven directors of First Louisiana Bancshares will be added to the Board of Directors of Home Federal Bancorp and five directors of First Louisiana Bank will be added to the Board of Directors of Home Federal Savings and Loan.

The senior management of Home Federal Bancorp after the conversion and offering will consist of the current members of Home Federal Bancorp's senior management, however, immediately following the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares, the composition of our executive management will change as a result of the merger. We will appoint Daniel R. Herndon, our current President and Chief Executive Officer, as Chairman of the Board of the new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan and Chief Executive Officer of the new holding company and appoint Ron C. Boudreaux as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the new holding company, President and Chief Executive Officer of Home Federal Savings and Loan and Chairman of the Executive Committee of Home Federal Savings and Loan and David L. Winkler as Vice Chairman of the Boards of Directors of Home Federal Savings and Loan and Home Federal Bancorp. In addition, Mr. Clyde D. Patterson, currently a director and Executive Vice President of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan Association will also be appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the new holding company.

Effect on Deposit Accounts. Under the plan of conversion and reorganization, each depositor in Home Federal Savings and Loan at the time of the conversion and offering will automatically continue as a depositor after the conversion and offering, and each of the deposit accounts will remain the same with respect to deposit balance, interest rate and other terms, except to the extent that funds in the accounts are withdrawn to purchase common stock to be issued in the offering. Each account will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the same extent as before the conversion and offering. Depositors will continue to hold their existing certificates, passbooks and other evidences of their accounts.

Effect on Loans. No loan outstanding from Home Federal Savings and Loan will be affected by the conversion and offering, and the amount, interest rate, maturity and security for each loan will remain as they were contractually fixed prior to the conversion and offering.

117

Table of Contents

Effect on Voting Rights of Members. Voting rights in Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, as a mutual holding company, belong to its depositor and borrower members. After the conversion and offering, depositors and borrowers will no longer be members and will no longer have voting rights in Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, which will cease to exist. The holders of the common stock of the new holding company will possess all voting rights in the new holding company, and former depositors and borrower members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company will not have any voting rights after the conversion and offering except to the extent that they become shareholders of the new holding company by purchasing common stock.

Tax Effects. We have received an opinion of counsel or tax advisor with regard to federal and state income taxation which indicates that the adoption and implementation of the plan of conversion and reorganization described herein will not be taxable for federal or state income tax purposes to Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, the public shareholders, or the eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders or other members, except as discussed below. See "– Tax Aspects" below and "Risk Factors" beginning on page __.

Effect on Liquidation Rights. If Home Federal Mutual Holding Company was to liquidate, all claims of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company's creditors would be paid first. Thereafter, if there were any assets remaining, depositors of Home Federal Savings and Loan would receive such remaining assets, pro rata, based upon the deposit balances in their deposit accounts at Home Federal Savings and Loan immediately prior to liquidation. In the unlikely event that Home Federal Savings and Loan was to liquidate after the conversion and offering, all claims of creditors (including those of depositors, to the extent of their deposit balances) also would be paid first, followed by distribution of the "liquidation account" to certain depositors (see "– Liquidation Rights" below), with any assets remaining thereafter distributed to Home Federal Bancorp as the holder of Home Federal Savings and Loan's capital stock. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, a merger, consolidation, sale of bulk assets or similar combination or transaction with another insured institution would not be considered a liquidation for this purpose and, in such a transaction, the liquidation account would be required to be assumed by the surviving institution.

Effect on Existing Stock Benefit Plans

Under the plan of conversion and reorganization, the existing 2005 Stock Option Plan and 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan of Home Federal Bancorp will become stock benefit plans of the new holding company and shares of the new holding company's common stock will be issued (or reserved for issuance) pursuant to such benefit plans and not shares of the current Home Federal Bancorp common stock. Upon consummation of the conversion and offering, the common stock currently reserved for or held by these benefit plans will be converted into options or new holding company common stock based upon the exchange ratio. Upon completion of the conversion and offering, (i) all rights to purchase, sell or receive Home Federal Bancorp common stock currently under any agreement between Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan and any director, officer or employee of Home Federal Savings and Loan or under any plan or program of Home Federal Bancorp or Home Federal Savings and Loan (including, without limitation, the 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan), shall automatically, by operation of law, be converted into and shall become an identical right to purchase, sell or receive shares of the new holding company's common stock and an identical right to make payment in common stock under any such agreement between Home Federal Bancorp or Home Federal Savings and Loan and any director, officer or employee or under such plan or program of Home Federal Bancorp or Home Federal Savings and Loan, and (ii) rights outstanding under the 2005 Stock Option Plan shall be assumed by the new holding company and thereafter shall be rights only for shares of the new holding company's common stock, with each such right being for a number of shares of the new holding company's common stock based upon the exchange ratio and the number of shares of Home Federal Bancorp that were available thereunder immediately prior to consummation of the conversion and offering, with the price adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio but with no change in any other term or condition of such right.

The Offering

Subscription Offering. In accordance with the plan of conversion and reorganization, rights to subscribe for the purchase of common stock in the subscription offering have been granted under the plan of conversion and reorganization to the following persons in the following order of descending priority:

eligible account holders,

Home Federal Savings and Loan's employee stock ownership plan,

supplemental eligible account holders, and

other members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company who are depositors as of the close of business on ________, 2008 or certain borrowers as of the close of business on January 18, 2005, whose loans continue to be outstanding.

All subscriptions received will be subject to the availability of common stock after satisfaction of all subscriptions of all persons having prior rights in the subscription offering and to the maximum and minimum purchase limitations set forth in the plan of conversion and reorganization and as described below under "– Limitations on Common Stock Purchases." We sometimes refer to the shares of the new holding company common stock sold in this offering at the $10.00 per share purchase price as the "subscription shares."

Priority 1: Eligible Account Holders. Each Home Federal Savings and Loan depositor with an account balance of at least $50 at the close of business on September 30, 2006 will receive, without payment therefor, first priority, nontransferable subscription rights to subscribe for in the subscription offering up to the greater of:

$400,000 (40,000 shares) of common stock; or

15 times the product, rounded down to the next whole number, obtained by multiplying the total number of shares of common stock offered in the subscription offering by a fraction, of which the numerator is the amount of the eligible account holder's qualifying deposits and the denominator of which is the total amount of qualifying deposits of all eligible account holders, in each case as of the close of business on the eligibility record date, September 30, 2006, subject to the overall purchase limitations. See "– Limitations on Common Stock Purchases."

If there are not sufficient shares available to satisfy all subscriptions, shares first will be allocated so as to permit each subscribing eligible account holder to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his total allocation equal to the lesser of the number of shares subscribed for or 100 shares. Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated to subscribing eligible account holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled in the proportion that the amounts of their respective eligible deposits bear to the total amount of eligible deposits of all subscribing eligible account holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled, provided that no fractional shares shall be issued. The subscription rights of eligible account holders who are also directors or officers of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, Home Federal Bancorp or Home Federal Savings and Loan and their associates will be subordinated to the subscription rights of other eligible account holders to the extent attributable to increased deposits in the year preceding September 30, 2006.

Priority 2: Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The employee stock ownership plan will receive, without payment therefor, second priority, nontransferable subscription rights to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 7.3% of the common stock sold in the conversion and offering, including any increase in the number of shares of common stock after the date hereof as a result of an increase of up to 15% in the maximum of the estimated valuation range. The employee stock ownership plan intends to purchase 4.0% of the shares of common stock sold in this offering, or 72,000 shares based on the midpoint of the offering range. Subscriptions by the employee stock ownership plan will not be aggregated with shares of common stock purchased directly by or which are otherwise attributable to any other participants in the subscription and community offering, including subscriptions of any of Home Federal Savings and Loan's directors, officers, employees or associates. See "Management – New Stock Benefit Plans – Employee Stock Ownership Plan." In the event that the total number of shares of common stock sold in the offering is increased to an amount greater than the number of shares representing the maximum of the offering range, the employee stock ownership plan will have a priority right to purchase any such shares exceeding the maximum of the offering range up to an aggregate of 7.3% of Home Federal Bancorp common stock sold in the offering, however, we intend to purchase 4.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering. See "– Limitations on Common Stock Purchases" and "Risk Factors – Our Employee Stock Benefit Plans Will Be Dilutive."

Priority 3: Supplemental Eligible Account Holders. Each Home Federal Savings and Loan depositor with an account balance of at least $50 at the close of business on ________, 2008 will receive, without payment therefor, third priority, nontransferable subscription rights to subscribe for in the subscription offering up to the greater of:

$400,000 (40,000 shares) of common stock; or

15 times the product, rounded down to the next whole number, obtained by multiplying the total number of shares of common stock offered in the subscription offering by a fraction, of which the numerator is the amount of the supplemental eligible account holder's qualifying deposit and the denominator of which is the total amount of qualifying deposits of all supplemental eligible account holders, in each case as of the close of business on the supplemental eligibility record date, _______, 2008, subject to the overall purchase limitations. See "– Limitations on Common Stock Purchases."

If there are not sufficient shares available to satisfy all subscriptions of supplemental eligible account holders, shares first will be allocated so as to permit each subscribing supplemental eligible account holder to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his total allocation equal to the lesser of the number of shares subscribed for or 100 shares, including the number of shares if any, allocated to him in the first category. Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated to subscribing supplemental eligible account holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled in the proportion that the amounts of their respective eligible deposits bear to the total amount of eligible deposits of all such subscribing supplemental eligible account holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled, provided that no fractional shares shall be issued.

Priority 4: Other Members. To the extent that there are shares remaining after satisfaction of subscriptions by eligible account holders, the employee stock ownership plan and supplemental eligible account holders, each depositor of Home Federal Savings and Loan as of the close of business on _______, 2008 and certain borrowers as of January 18, 2005 whose loans continue to be outstanding as of the close of business on _________, 2008 will receive, without payment therefor, fourth priority, nontransferable subscription rights to subscribe for common stock in the subscription offering up to $400,000 (40,000 shares) of common stock. See "-Limitations on Common Stock Purchases."

In the event the other members subscribe for a number of shares which, when added to the shares subscribed for by eligible account holders, the employee stock ownership plan and supplemental eligible account holders, is in excess of the total number of shares of common stock offered in the subscription offering, shares first will be allocated so as to permit each subscribing other members to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his total allocation equal to the lesser of the number of shares subscribed for or 100 shares. Thereafter, any remaining shares will be allocated among subscribing other members on a pro rata basis in the same proportion as each other member's subscription bears to the total subscriptions of all subscribing other members, provided that no fractional shares shall be issued.

Expiration date for the Subscription Offering. The subscription offering will expire at __:00 _.m., Central time, on ________, 2008, unless we extend the offering up to 45 days or such additional periods with the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. We may extend the subscription offering for up to 45 days, or until ________, 2008, without additional notice to you. We will be required to notify you of any extensions beyond ________, 2008 and of any rights subscribers have to modify or rescind their subscriptions. Subscription rights which have not been exercised prior to the expiration date will become void.

We will not execute orders until at least the minimum number of shares of common stock (1,530,000 shares) have been subscribed for or otherwise sold. This minimum amount may include 229,500 shares to be issued to First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders in the merger. If all shares have not been subscribed for or sold within 45 days after the expiration date or ________, 2008, unless such period is extended with the consent of the Office of Thrift Supervision, all funds delivered to Home Federal Savings and Loan pursuant to the subscription offering will be returned promptly to the subscribers with interest and all withdrawal authorizations will be canceled. If an extension beyond ________, 2008 is granted, we will notify subscribers of the extension of time and subscribers will have the right to modify or rescind their subscriptions. If we do not receive an affirmative response from a subscriber to any resolicitation, the subscriber's order will be rescinded and all funds received will be returned promptly with interest, or withdrawal authorizations will be cancelled.

Community Offering and Syndicated Community Offering. To the extent that shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions of eligible account holders, the employee stock ownership plan, supplemental eligible account holders and other members, we may elect to offer shares pursuant to the plan of conversion and reorganization to certain members of the general public, with preference given to natural persons who are preferred subscribers residing in the Caddo Parish. The community offering may be undertaken concurrently with the subscription offering. If we conduct a community offering, and it is expected that we will do so, such persons may purchase up to $ 400,000 (40,000 shares) of common stock. See "– Limitations on Common Stock Purchases." This amount may be increased at our sole discretion. The opportunity to subscribe for shares of common stock in the community offering will be subject to our right in our sole discretion, to accept or reject any such orders in whole or in part either at the time of receipt of an order or as soon as practicable following the expiration date.

If there are not sufficient shares available to fill the orders of preferred subscribers in the community offering after completion of the subscription offering, such stock will be allocated first to each preferred subscriber whose order is accepted by us, in an amount equal to the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares subscribed for by each such preferred subscriber, if possible. Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated among the preferred subscribers whose orders remain unsatisfied on an equal number of shares per order basis until all available shares have been allocated. If there are any shares remaining, shares will be allocated to other members of the general public who subscribe in the community offering applying the same allocation described above for preferred subscribers.

The community offering, if any, may commence simultaneously with, during or subsequent to the completion of the subscription offering. The community offering must be completed within 45 days after the completion of the subscription offering unless otherwise extended by the Office of Thrift Supervision.

We, in our absolute discretion, reserve the right to reject any of all orders in whole or in part which are received in the community offering, at the time of receipt or as soon as practicable following the completion of the community offering.

Table of Contents

The plan of conversion and reorganization provides that, if feasible, all shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription and community offering may be offered for sale to the general public in a syndicated community offering through a syndicate of registered broker-dealers to be formed. No person will be permitted to subscribe in the syndicated community offering for more than $400,000 (40,000 shares) of common stock, provided, however, that this amount may be increased to 5.0% of the subscription shares sold, which would be 76,500 shares at the minimum of the offering range, subject to the maximum purchase limitations. See "– Limitations on Common Stock Purchases." We have the right to reject orders in whole or part in our sole discretion in the syndicated community offering. Neither Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. nor any registered broker-dealer shall have any obligation to take or purchase any shares of common stock in the syndicated community offering; however, Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. has agreed to use its best efforts in the sale of shares in a syndicated community offering. The syndicated community offering will terminate no more than 45 days following the expiration date, unless we extend the offering with the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Orders received in connection with the syndicated community offering, if any, will receive a lower priority than orders received in the subscription offering and community offering. Common stock sold in the syndicated community offering will be sold at the same price as all other shares in the subscription offering. A syndicated community offering would be open to the general public beyond the local community, however, we have the right to reject orders, in whole or in part, in our sole discretion in the syndicated community offering.

The date by which orders must be received in the syndicated community offering will be set by us at the time the syndicated community offering commences; but if the syndicated community offering is extended beyond __________, 2008, each purchaser will have the opportunity to maintain, modify, or rescind his or her order. In that event, all funds received in the syndicated community offering will be promptly returned with interest at Home Federal Savings and Loan's passbook rate to each purchaser unless he or she requests otherwise.

How We Determined The Price Per Share, The Offering Range and The Exchange Ratio

The plan of conversion and reorganization requires that the purchase price of our common stock must be based on the appraised pro forma market value of the common stock, as determined on the basis of an independent valuation. We have retained Feldman Financial Advisors, Inc. to make such valuation. For its services in making such appraisal and any expenses incurred in connection therewith, Feldman Financial will receive a fee of $30,000 (plus an additional $5,000 for each appraisal update), plus out-of-pocket expenses which are not expected to exceed $2,500. Feldman Financial will also receive a fee of $12,500 for preparation of the pro forma table reflecting the independent appraisal in the prospectus and regulatory merger applications. We have agreed to indemnify Feldman Financial and its employees and affiliates against certain losses, including any losses in connection with claims under the federal securities laws, arising out of its services as appraiser, except where Feldman Financial's liability results from its negligence or bad faith.

Consistent with Office of Thrift Supervision appraisal guidelines, the independent appraisal applied three primary methodologies to estimate the pro forma market value of our common stock: the pro forma price-to-book value approach applied to both reported book value and tangible book value; the pro forma price-to-earnings approach applied to reported and estimated core earnings; and the pro forma price-to-assets approach. The market value ratios applied in the three methodologies were based upon the current market valuations of a peer group of companies considered by Feldman Financial to be comparable to us, subject to valuation adjustments applied by Feldman Financial to account for differences between Home Federal Bancorp and the peer group. The peer group analysis conducted by Feldman Financial included a total of 12 publicly-traded financial institutions with assets averaging $206.3 million and market capitalizations of at least $12.0 million. The peer group is comprised of publicly-traded thrifts all selected based on asset size, market area and operating strategy. In preparing its appraisal, Feldman Financial placed the greatest emphasis on the price-to-earnings approach and placed lesser emphasis on the price-to-book and price-to-assets approaches in estimating pro forma market value. Feldman Financial's appraisal report is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See "Where You Can Find More Information."

The appraisal has been prepared by Feldman Financial in reliance upon the information contained in this prospectus, including the financial statements. Feldman Financial also considered the following factors, among others:

122

Table of Contents

the impact of the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares by Home Federal Bancorp;

Home Federal Bancorp's present and projected operating results and financial condition and the economic and demographic conditions in Home Federal Savings and Loan's existing market area;

certain historical, financial and other information relating to Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares;

a comparative evaluation of the operating and financial statistics of Home Federal Bancorp with those of other similarly situated publicly-traded companies located in Louisiana and other regions of the United States;

the aggregate size of the offering of Home Federal Bancorp common stock;

the impact of the conversion and the merger on Home Federal Savings and Loan's net worth and earnings potential;

Home Federal Bancorp's proposed dividend policy; and

the trading market for Home Federal Bancorp common stock and securities of comparable companies and general conditions in the market for such securities.

In determining the amount of the appraisal, Feldman Financial reviewed Home Federal Bancorp's price/core earnings, price/book and price/assets ratios on a pro forma basis giving effect to the net conversion proceeds to the comparable ratios for a peer group consisting of 12 thrift holding companies. The peer group included companies with:

assets averaging $206.3 million;

non-performing assets averaging 0.84% of total assets;

equity equal to 15.3% of assets;

price/core earnings ratios equal to an average of 33.8x and ranging from 11.5x to 69.9x; and

positive core earnings for the most recent 12 months.

Feldman Financial's independent valuation also utilized certain assumptions as to the pro forma earnings of Home Federal Bancorp after the conversion and offering and the merger. These assumptions included estimated expenses, an assumed after-tax rate of return on the net offering proceeds, and expenses related to the stock-based benefit plans of Home Federal Bancorp, including the employee stock ownership plan, the recognition and retention plan and the stock option plan. The employee stock ownership plan and recognition and retention plan are assumed to purchase 4.0% and 3.07%, respectively, of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock sold in the offering. The stock option plan is assumed to grant options to purchase the equivalent of 7.68% of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock sold in the offering. See "Pro Forma Data" for additional information concerning these assumptions. The use of different assumptions may yield different results.

Feldman Financial prepared a valuation dated February 25, 2008. Feldman Financial has advised us that, as of February 25, 2008, the estimated pro forma market value, or valuation range, of our common stock, including subscription shares, exchange shares issued to current shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp and 1,324,720 shares issued in the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares, ranged from a minimum of $34.8 million to a maximum of $42.4 million, with a midpoint of $38.6 million. The Boards of Directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Savings and Loan and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company have decided to offer the shares for a price of $10.00 per share. Feldman Financial has advised us that, as of February 25, 2008, the exchange ratio ranged from a minimum of 0.6368 to a maximum of 0.8617, with a midpoint of 0.7493, shares of the new holding company's common stock per share of currently issued Home Federal Bancorp common stock. The number of shares offered will be equal to the aggregate offering price divided by the price per share. Based on the valuation range, the percentage of Home Federal Bancorp common stock owned by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and the $10.00 price per share, the minimum of the offering range is 1,360,000 shares, the midpoint of the offering range is 1,600,000 shares, the maximum of the offering range is 1,840,000 shares and 15% above the maximum of the offering range is 2,116,000 shares. Feldman Financial's independent valuation will be updated before we complete our conversion and offering.

The following table presents a summary of selected pricing ratios for Home Federal Bancorp, for the peer group and for all fully converted publicly traded savings banks. The figures for Home Federal Bancorp are from Feldman Financial's appraisal report and they thus do not correspond exactly to the ratios presented in the Pro Forma Data section of this prospectus. Compared to the average pricing ratios of the peer group, Home Federal Bancorp's pro forma pricing ratios at the maximum of the offering range indicate a premium of 79.2% on a price-to-earnings basis and a discount of 29.9% and 10.8%, respectively, on a price-to-book basis and price-to-tangible book basis.

____________________

(1)

If Home Federal Bancorp does not receive orders for at least 1,360,000 shares in the offering, then, in Home Federal Bancorp's discretion in order to issue the minimum number of shares necessary to complete the conversion and offering, up to 204,000 unsubscribed shares may be issued to shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares as merger consideration.

(2)

Ratios are based on earnings for six months ended December 31, 2007, and share prices as of February 25, 2008.

(3)

Ratios are based on book value as of December 31, 2007 and share prices as of February 25, 2008.

At the midpoint of the appraisal, Home Federal Bancorp's pro forma price to core earnings and price to book ratios as of or for the trailing six months ended December 31, 2007 were 41.7x and 65.6%, respectively, compared to average ratios for the peer group of [33.8x] and 95.4%, respectively.

The boards of directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan reviewed Feldman Financial's appraisal report, including the methodology and the assumptions used by Feldman Financial, and determined that the offering range was reasonable and adequate. Our boards of directors also established the formula for determining the exchange ratio. Based upon such formula and the offering range, the exchange ratio ranged from a minimum of 0.6369 to a maximum of 0.8617 exchange shares for each current share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, with a midpoint of 0.7497. Based upon this exchange ratio, we expect to issue between 794,795 and 1,075,326 exchange shares to the current holders of Home Federal Bancorp common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the conversion and offering. The estimated offering range and the exchange ratio may be amended with the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision, if required, or if necessitated by subsequent developments in our financial condition or market conditions generally. In the event the appraisal is updated so that our common stock is below $13.6 million or above $21.2 million, the maximum of the offering range, as adjusted by 15%, such appraisal will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by post-effective amendment.

In the event we receive orders for common stock in excess of $18.4 million, the maximum of the valuation, and up to $21.2 million, the maximum of the estimated valuation, as adjusted by 15%, we may be required by the Office of Thrift Supervision to accept all such orders. No assurances, however, can be made that we will receive orders for common stock in excess of the maximum of the offering range or that, if such orders are received, that all such orders will be accepted because the final valuation and number of shares to be issued are subject to the receipt of an updated appraisal from Feldman Financial which reflects such an increase in the valuation and the approval of such increase by the Office of Thrift Supervision. There is no obligation or understanding on the part of management to take and/or pay for any shares of common stock in order to complete the offering.

Table of Contents

Options to purchase Home Federal Bancorp common stock will be converted into and become options to purchase common stock of the new holding company. As of the date of this prospectus there were outstanding options to purchase 174,389 shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock. The number of shares of the new holding company's common stock to be received upon exercise of such options will be determined pursuant to the exchange ratio. The aggregate exercise price, duration, and vesting schedule of such options will not be affected. If such options are exercised prior to the consummation of the conversion and offering there will be an increase in the number of exchange shares issued to current shareholders and a decrease in the exchange ratio.

Feldman Financial's valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing our common stock. Feldman Financial did not independently verify the financial statements and other information provided by Home Federal Savings and Loan, Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, First Louisiana Bancshares and First Louisiana Bank, nor did Feldman Financial value independently the assets or liabilities of Home Federal Savings and Loan, Home Federal Bancorp, First Louisiana Bank or First Louisiana Bancshares. The valuation considers Home Federal Savings and Loan, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company as going concerns and should not be considered as an indication of the liquidation value of Home Federal Savings and Loan, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons purchasing Home Federal Bancorp common stock or receiving exchange shares will thereafter be able to sell such shares at prices at or above the purchase price of $10.00 per share or in the range of the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market value thereof.

We will not make any sale of shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock or issue any exchange shares unless prior to such sale or exchange, Feldman Financial confirms that nothing of a material nature has occurred which, taking into account all relevant factors, would cause it to conclude that the purchase price of $10.00 per share is materially incompatible with the estimate of the pro forma market value of a share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock upon completion of the conversion and offering. If such is not the case, a new offering range may be set, a new exchange ratio may be determined based upon the new offering range, a new subscription and syndicated community offering and/or syndicated community offering may be held or such other action may be taken as we determine and the Office of Thrift Supervision may permit or require.

Depending upon market or financial conditions, the total number of shares of common stock to be issued may be increased or decreased without a resolicitation of subscribers, provided that the product of the total number of shares times the purchase price of $10.00 per share is not below the minimum or more than 15% above the maximum of the offering range. Such minimum amount may include 204,000 shares issued to First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders as merger consideration. In the event market or financial conditions change so as to cause the aggregate purchase price of the shares to be below the minimum of the offering range or more than 15% above the maximum of such range, purchasers will be resolicited. In such instance, we will notify subscribers and return the amount they have submitted with their subscription orders, with interest at our passbook rate of interest, or cancel their withdrawal authorization and we will resolicit orders from subscribers. Any change in the offering range must be approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Any change in the number of shares of common stock will result in a corresponding change in the number of exchange shares, so that upon completion of the conversion and offering the exchange shares will represent approximately 36.9% of our total outstanding shares of common stock before the merger, exclusive of the effects of the exercise of outstanding stock options.

An increase in the number of shares of common stock as a result of an increase in the offering range would decrease both a subscriber's ownership interest and our pro forma net earnings and stockholders' equity on a per share basis while increasing pro forma net earnings and stockholders' equity on an aggregate basis. A decrease in the number of shares of common stock would increase both a subscriber's ownership interest and our pro forma net earnings and stockholders' equity on a per share basis while decreasing pro forma net earnings and stockholders' equity on an aggregate basis. See "Additional Pro Forma Conversion Data."

However, existing shareholders will not be required to sell any shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock or be limited from receiving any exchange shares or shares issued in the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares or have to divest themselves of any exchange shares or shares issued in the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares as a result of this limitation.

(9)

No more than 35% of the total number of shares sold in the offering may be purchased by directors and officers of Home Federal Savings and Loan and their associates in the aggregate, excluding purchases by the employee stock ownership plan.

We may, in our sole discretion, increase the individual or aggregate purchase limitation to up to 5.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering. We do not intend to increase the maximum purchase limitation unless market conditions warrant. If we decide to increase the purchase limitations, persons who subscribed for the maximum number of shares of common stock will be given the opportunity to increase their subscriptions accordingly, subject to the rights and preferences of any person who has priority subscription rights. We, in our discretion, also may give other large subscribers the right to increase their subscriptions.

In the event that we increase the maximum purchase limitation to 5.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering, we may further increase the maximum purchase limitation to 9.99%, provided that orders for common stock exceeding 5.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering may not exceed in the aggregate 10.0% of the total shares of common stock sold in the offering.

In the event of an increase in the total number of shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock due to an increase in the offering range of up to 15%, the additional shares will be allocated in the following order of priority in accordance with the plan of conversion and reorganization:

to fill the employee stock ownership plan's subscription of 4.0% of the adjusted maximum number of shares;

in the event that there is an oversubscription by eligible account holders, to fill unfulfilled subscriptions of eligible account holders,

in the event that there is an oversubscription by supplemental eligible account holders, to fill unfulfilled subscriptions of supplemental eligible account holders;

in the event that there is an oversubscription by other members, to fill unfulfilled subscriptions of other members; and

to fill unfulfilled subscriptions in the community offering.

No person, together with associates of, and those acting in concert with, such person, may purchase more than the overall maximum purchase limit of $1,000,000 of the subscription shares to be sold in the offering, which equals 100,000 shares at the midpoint of the offering range. The term "acting in concert" is defined to mean (1) knowing participation in a joint activity or interdependent conscious parallel action towards a common goal whether or not pursuant to an express agreement, or (2) a combination or pooling of voting or other interest in the securities of an issuer for a common purpose pursuant to any contract, understanding, relationship, agreement or other arrangement, whether written or otherwise. We may presume that certain persons are acting in concert based upon, among other things, joint account relationships, common addresses on our records and the fact that such persons have filed joint Schedules 13D or 13G with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to other companies.

The term "associate" of a person is defined to mean (a) any corporation or other organization, other than Home Federal Bancorp or a majority-owned subsidiary of Home Federal Savings and Loan or Home Federal Bancorp, of which such person is a director, officer or partner or is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of equity securities; (b) any trust or other estate in which such person has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which such person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity, provided, however, that such term shall not include any of our tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans in which such person has a substantial beneficial interest or serves as a trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; and (c) any relative or spouse of such person, or any relative of such spouse, who either has the same home as such person or who is a director or officer of us or any of our subsidiaries. In addition, joint account relationships and common addresses will be taken into account in applying the maximum purchase limitations. Persons having the same address or exercising subscription rights through qualifying deposit accounts registered to the same address will be assumed to be associates of, and acting in concert with, each other. We have the right to determine, in our sole discretion, whether purchasers are associates or acting in concert.

Marketing Arrangements

Offering materials have been initially distributed to certain persons by mail, with additional copies made available through the conversion center and Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. All prospective purchasers are to send payment directly to Home Federal Savings and Loan, where such funds will be held in a separate account earning interest and not released until the offering is completed or terminated.

We have engaged Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P., a broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, as a financial and marketing advisor in connection with the offering of our common stock. In its role as financial and marketing advisor, Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. will assist us in the offering as follows:

consulting as to the securities marketing implications of any aspect of the plan of conversion and reorganization;

reviewing with our board of directors the financial impact of the offering on us based upon the independent appraiser's appraisal of the common stock;

reviewing all offering documents, including the prospectus, stock order forms and related offering materials (we are responsible for the preparation and filing of such documents);

assisting in the design and implementation of a marketing strategy for the offering;

as necessary, assisting us in scheduling and preparing for meetings with potential investors and broker-dealers; and

providing such other general advice and assistance we may request to promote the successful completion of the offering.

For these services, Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. will receive a fee of 1.4% of the aggregate dollar amount of the common stock sold in the subscription and community offerings excluding shares purchased by our tax qualified employee benefit plans and shares purchased by our directors, officers and employees and their immediate families. In addition, we have agreed to pay a fee of 4.0% of the aggregate purchase price to assisting brokers whose broker representatives assist in sales of the shares in the subscription and community offering. We have made an advance payment of $25,000 to Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. If there is a syndicated community offering, Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. will receive a management fee of 1.4% of the aggregate dollar amount of the common stock sold in the syndicated community offering. The total fees payable to Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. and other Financial Industry Regulatory Authority member firms in the syndicated community offering shall not exceed 6.5% of the aggregate dollar amount of the common stock sold in the syndicated community offering.

We will also reimburse Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, associated with this marketing effort, up to a maximum of $100,000. If the plan of conversion and reorganization is terminated or if Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. terminates its agreement with us in accordance with the provisions of the agreement, Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. will only receive reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees. We will indemnify Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. against liabilities and expenses, including legal fees, incurred in connection with certain claims or liabilities arising out of or based upon untrue statements or omissions contained in the offering materials for the common stock, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

We have also engaged Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. to act as records management agent in connection with the offering. In its role as records management agent, Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. will assist us in the offering as follows: (1) consolidation of accounts and vote calculation; (2) preparation of order forms; (3) organization and supervision of the conversion center; (4) proxy solicitation and special meeting services; and (5) subscription services. For these services, Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. will receive a fee of $20,000 and reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We have made an advance payment of $10,000 to Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. for its role as records management agent.

In addition, Home Federal Bancorp engaged Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. as its financial advisor in connection with the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. Under the terms of the engagement, Home Federal Bancorp has agreed to pay Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. a cash fee of $125,000 upon completion of the merger. Upon delivery of the fairness opinion to our board of directors in connection with the execution of the definitive merger agreement, Home Federal Bancorp agreed to pay Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. a fee of $75,000, which fee was credited against the $125,000 due when the merger is completed. The remaining $50,000 will be due upon the completion of the merger. Home Federal Bancorp will also reimburse Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement and will indemnify Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. against certain liabilities arising out of such engagement, including liabilities under federal securities laws.

Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. has not prepared any report or opinion constituting a recommendation or advice to us or to persons who subscribe for common stock, nor has it prepared an opinion as to the fairness to us of the purchase price or the terms of the common stock to be sold in the conversion and offering. Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. expresses no opinion as to the prices at which common stock to be issued may trade.

Our directors and executive officers may participate in the solicitation of offers to purchase common stock. Trained employees may participate in the offering in ministerial capacities, providing clerical work in effecting a sales transaction or answering questions of a ministerial nature. Questions of prospective purchasers regarding the offering process will be directed to registered representatives of Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. We will rely on Rule 3a4-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, so as to permit officers, directors, and employees to participate in the sale of the common stock. No officer, director, or employee will be compensated for his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on the transactions in the common stock.

Procedure for Purchasing Shares in the Offering

To purchase shares in the offering, an executed order form and the required payment for each share subscribed for, or with appropriate authorization for withdrawal from a deposit account at Home Federal Savings and Loan, which may be given by completing the appropriate blanks on the order form, must be received by Home Federal Savings and Loan at any of its offices by __:00 p.m., Central time, on ________, 2008. Order forms which are not received by such time or are executed defectively or are received without full payment (or appropriate withdrawal instructions) are not required to be accepted. We are not required to accept orders submitted on facsimiled order forms. We have the right to waive or permit the correction of incomplete or improperly executed forms, but do not represent that we will do so. The waiver of an irregularity on an order form, the allowance by us of a correction of an incomplete or improperly executed order form, or the acceptance of an order after __:00 on the expiration date in no way obligates us to waive an irregularity, allow a correction, or accept an order with respect to any other order form. The interpretation by us of the acceptability of an order form will be final. Once received, an executed order form may not be modified, amended or rescinded without our consent, unless the conversion and offering have not been completed within 45 days after the end of the subscription offering and syndicated community offering, unless such period has been extended.

In order to ensure that eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and other members are properly identified as to their stock purchase priority, depositors as of the close of business on the eligibility record date, September 30, 2006, the supplemental eligibility record date, __________, 2008, and the voting record date, ________, 2008, must list on the order form all accounts in which they have an ownership interest at the applicable eligibility date, giving all names in each account and the account numbers. Failure to list all of your accounts may result in fewer shares being allocated to you than if all your accounts had been disclosed.

129

Table of Contents

Payment for subscriptions and orders may be made (a) in cash if delivered in person at any office of Home Federal Savings and Loan, (b) by check or money order, or (c) by authorization of withdrawal from deposit accounts maintained with Home Federal Savings and Loan. We may in our sole discretion elect not to accept payment for shares of common stock by wired funds and there shall be no liability for failure to accept such payment. Funds will be deposited in a segregated account at Home Federal Savings and Loan or, in our discretion, will be held at an independent insured depository institution and interest will be paid on funds made by cash, check or money order at Home Federal Savings and Loan's current passbook rate of interest from the date payment is received until completion or termination of the conversion and offering. If payment is made by authorization of withdrawal from deposit accounts at Home Federal Savings and Loan, the funds authorized to be withdrawn from a deposit account may continue to accrue interest at the contractual rates until completion or termination of the conversion and offering, but a hold will be placed on such funds, thereby making them unavailable to the depositor until completion or termination of the conversion and offering.

If a subscriber authorizes Home Federal Savings and Loan to withdraw the aggregate amount of the purchase price from a deposit account, we will do so as of the effective date of the conversion and offering. Home Federal Savings and Loan will waive any applicable penalties for early withdrawal from certificate accounts. If the remaining balance in a certificate account is reduced below the applicable minimum balance requirement at the time that the funds actually are transferred under the authorization, the certificate will be canceled at the time of the withdrawal, without penalty, and the remaining balance will earn interest at the passbook rate.

The employee stock ownership plan will not be required to pay for the shares subscribed for at the time it subscribes, but rather may pay for such shares of common stock subscribed for upon consummation of the offering, provided that there is in force from the time of its subscription until such time, a loan commitment from an unrelated financial institution or Home Federal Bancorp to lend to the employee stock ownership plan, at such time, the aggregate purchase price of the shares for which it subscribed.

A depositor interested in using his or her IRA funds to purchase common stock must do so through a self-directed IRA. Depositors interested in using funds in an IRA to purchase common stock should contact the conversion center as soon as possible so that the necessary forms may be forwarded for execution prior to the expiration date.

Persons in Non-qualified States or Foreign Countries

We will make reasonable efforts to comply with the securities laws of all states in the United States in which persons entitled to subscribe for stock pursuant to the plan of conversion and reorganization reside. However, we are not required to offer stock in the subscription offering to any person who resides in a foreign country or resides in a state of the United States with respect to which:

the number of persons otherwise eligible to subscribe for shares under the plan of conversion and reorganization who reside in such jurisdiction is small;

	·	the granting of subscription rights or the offer or sale of shares of common stock to such persons would require any of us or our officers, directors or employees, under the laws of such jurisdiction, to register as a broker, dealer, salesman or selling agent or to register or otherwise qualify our securities for sale in such jurisdiction or to qualify a foreign corporation or file a consent to service of process in such jurisdiction; or

	·	such registration, qualification or filing in our judgment would be impracticable or unduly burdensome for reasons of costs or otherwise.

Where the number of persons eligible to subscribe for shares in one state is small, we will base our decision as to whether or not to offer our common stock in such state on a number of factors, including but not limited to the size of accounts held by account holders in the state, the cost of registering or qualifying the shares or the need to register us or our officers, directors or employees as brokers, dealers or salesmen.

Restrictions on Transfer of Subscription Rights and Shares

You may not transfer or enter into any agreement or understanding to transfer the legal or beneficial ownership of your subscription rights issued under the plan of conversion and reorganization or the shares of common stock to be issued upon their exercise. Such rights may be exercised only by you and only your account. If you exercise your such subscription rights, you will be required to certify that you are purchasing shares solely for your own account and that you have no agreement or understanding regarding the sale or transfer of such shares. Federal regulations also prohibit any person from offering or making an announcement of an offer or intent to make an offer to purchase such subscription rights or shares of common stock prior to the completion of the conversion and offering.

We will pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies in the event we become aware of the transfer of subscription rights and will not honor orders known by us to involve the transfer of such rights.

Liquidation Rights

In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company in its present mutual form, each member of Home Federal Savings and Loan would receive his pro rata share of any assets of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company remaining after payment of claims of all creditors. Each member's pro rata share of such remaining assets would be in the same proportion as the value of his deposit account was to the total value of all deposit accounts in Home Federal Savings and Loan at the time of liquidation. After the conversion and offering, each depositor, in the event of a complete liquidation of Home Federal Savings and Loan, would have a claim as a creditor of the same general priority as the claims of all other general creditors of Home Federal Savings and Loan. However, except as described below, his claim would be solely in the amount of the balance in his deposit account plus accrued interest. He would not have an interest in the value or assets of Home Federal Savings and Loan or Home Federal Bancorp above that amount.

The plan of conversion and reorganization provides for the establishment, upon the completion of the conversion and offering a special "liquidation account" for the benefit of eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders in an amount equal to 63.1% of Home Federal Bancorp's total stockholders' equity as reflected in its latest statement of financial condition contained in the final prospectus utilized in the offering. As of the date of this prospectus, the initial balance of the liquidation account would be approximately $19.2 million. Each eligible account holder and supplemental eligible account holder, if he were to continue to maintain his deposit account at Home Federal Savings and Loan, would be entitled, upon a complete liquidation of Home Federal Savings and Loan after the conversion and offering, to an interest in the liquidation account prior to any payment to Home Federal Bancorp as the sole shareholder of Home Federal Savings and Loan. Each eligible account holder and supplemental eligible account holder would have an initial interest in such liquidation account for each deposit account, including passbook accounts, transaction accounts such as checking accounts, money market deposit accounts and certificates of deposit, held in Home Federal Savings and Loan at the close of business on September 30, 2006 or ________, 2008, as the case may be. Each eligible account holder and supplemental eligible account holder will have a pro rata interest in the total liquidation account for each of his deposit accounts based on the proportion that the balance of each such deposit account on the September 30, 2006 eligibility record date, or the ________, 2008 supplemental eligibility record date, as the case may be, bore to the balance of all deposit accounts in Home Federal Savings and Loan on such date.

If, however, on any June 30, annual closing date of Home Federal Savings and Loan, commencing June 30, 2008, the amount in any deposit account is less than the amount in such deposit account on September 30, 2006 or __________, 2008, as the case may be, or any other annual closing date, then the interest in the liquidation account relating to such deposit account would be reduced by the proportion of any such reduction, and such interest will cease to exist if such deposit account is closed. In addition, no interest in the liquidation account would ever be increased despite any subsequent increase in the related deposit account. Any assets remaining after the above liquidation rights of eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders are satisfied would be distributed to Home Federal Bancorp as the sole shareholder of Home Federal Savings and Loan.

Tax Aspects

We believe that the summary of the tax opinions presented below addresses all material federal income tax consequences that are generally applicable to us and the persons receiving subscription rights. One of the conditions to the completion of the conversion and offering is the receipt of either a ruling or an opinion of counsel with respect to federal tax laws, and either a ruling or an opinion with respect to Louisiana tax laws, to the effect that the conversion and offering will not result in a taxable reorganization under the provisions of the applicable codes or otherwise result in any adverse tax consequences to Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, Home Federal Bancorp, the new holding company, Home Federal Savings and Loan, or to account holders receiving subscription rights, except to the extent, if any, that subscription rights are deemed to have fair market value on the date such rights are issued. This condition may not be waived by us.

Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P., Washington, D.C., has issued an opinion to Home Federal Bancorp, the new holding company, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan to the effect that, for federal income tax purposes:

the mergers of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Bancorp with and into Home Federal Savings and Loan with Home Federal Savings and Loan being the surviving institution, will qualify as reorganizations within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code;

no gain or loss will be recognized by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company or Home Federal Bancorp pursuant to the mergers with and into Home Federal Savings and Loan;

no gain or loss will be recognized by Home Federal Savings and Loan upon the receipt of the assets of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Bancorp in such mergers;

the merger of Home Federal Interim Savings Association with and into Home Federal Savings and Loan, with Home Federal Savings and Loan being the surviving institution, will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code;

no gain or loss will be recognized by Home Federal Interim Savings Association upon the transfer of its assets to Home Federal Savings and Loan;

no gain or loss will be recognized by Home Federal Savings and Loan upon the receipt of the assets of Home Federal Interim Savings Association;

no gain or loss will be recognized by Home Federal Bancorp upon the receipt of Home Federal Savings and Loan common stock solely in exchange for common stock;

no gain or loss will be recognized by the current shareholder of Home Federal Bancorp upon the receipt of our common stock;

the basis of our common stock to be received by the current shareholder of Home Federal Bancorp will be the same as the basis of the Home Federal Bancorp common stock surrendered in exchange therefor, before giving effect to any payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares;

the holding period of our common stock to be received by the current shareholder of Home Federal Bancorp will include the holding period of the Home Federal Bancorp common stock, provided that the Home Federal Bancorp common stock were held as a capital asset on the date of the exchange;

no gain or loss will be recognized by us upon the sale of the subscription shares in the offering;

it is more likely than not that the eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and other members will not recognize gain upon the issuance to them of: (i) withdrawable savings accounts in Home Federal Savings and Loan following the conversion and offering, (ii) interests in the liquidation account and (iii) nontransferable subscription rights to purchase common stock; and

132

Table of Contents

the tax basis to the holders of subscription shares purchased in the offering will be the amount paid therefor, and the holding period for the shares of common stock will begin either (i) on the date of consummation of the offering if purchased through the exercise of subscription rights or (ii) on the day after the date of purchase if purchased in the community offering or syndicated community offering.

In reaching their conclusions above, Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P. has noted that the subscription rights will be granted at no cost to the recipients, will be legally nontransferable and of short duration, and will provide the recipients with the right only to purchase shares of common stock at the same price to be paid by members of the general public in any community offering.

LaPorte Sehrt Romig & Hand has issued an opinion to Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan to the effect that, more likely than not, the income tax consequences under Louisiana law of the conversion and offering are not materially different than for federal tax purposes.

We received a letter from Feldman Financial dated March 10, 2008, which letter is not binding on the IRS, stating their belief that the subscription rights do not have any value, based on the fact that such rights are acquired by the recipients without cost, are nontransferable and of short duration, and afford the recipients the right only to purchase our common stock at a price equal to its estimated fair market value, which will be the same price as the purchase price for the unsubscribed shares of common stock In addition, no cash or property will be given to recipients of the subscription rights in lieu of such rights or to those recipients who fail to exercise such rights. Furthermore, the Internal Revenue Service was requested in 1993 in a private letter ruling to address the federal tax treatment of the receipt and exercise of non-transferable subscription rights in a standard conversion but declined to express any opinion. Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P. believes, due to the factors discussed in this paragraph, that it is more likely than not that the subscription rights have no value. If the nontransferable subscription rights to purchase common stock are subsequently found to have an ascertainable market value greater than zero, income may be recognized by various recipients of the nontransferable subscription rights (in certain cases, whether or not the rights are exercised) and Home Federal Bancorp may be taxed on the distribution of the nontransferable subscription rights under Section 311 of the Internal Revenue Code. In this event, the nontransferable subscription rights may be taxed partially or entirely at ordinary income tax rates.

Unlike private rulings, an opinion is not binding on the IRS and the IRS could disagree with the conclusions reached therein. In the event of such disagreement, there can be no assurance that the IRS would not prevail in a judicial or administrative proceeding. If the IRS determines that the tax effects of the transactions contemplated by the plan of conversion and reorganization are to be treated differently from those presented in the opinion, Home Federal Bancorp may be subject to adverse tax consequences as a result of the conversion and offering. Eligible subscribers are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisor as to the tax consequences in the event that such subscription rights are deemed to have an ascertainable value.

Delivery and Exchange of Stock Certificates

Subscription Shares. Certificates representing subscription shares issued in connection with the offering will be mailed by our transfer agent for the common stock to the persons entitled thereto at the addresses of such persons appearing on the stock order form for common stock as soon as practicable following completion of the conversion and offering. Any certificates returned as undeliverable will be held by us until claimed by persons legally entitled thereto or otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable law. Until certificates for subscription shares are available and delivered to subscribers, subscribers may not be able to sell such shares, even though trading of the common stock of Home Federal Bancorp, to be re-named "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc.," may have commenced.

Exchange Shares. After completion of the conversion and reorganization, each holder of a certificate or certificates theretofore evidencing issued and outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, other than Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, upon surrender of the same to the exchange agent, which is anticipated to be the transfer agent for our common stock, will receive a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, to be re-named "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc.," for which the shares of the Home Federal Bancorp common stock theretofore represented by the certificate or certificates so surrendered shall have been converted based on the exchange ratio. The exchange agent will promptly mail to each such holder of record of an outstanding certificate which immediately prior to the consummation of the conversion and offering evidenced shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, which will be issued in the name "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc." and which is to be exchanged for Home Federal Bancorp common stock based on the exchange ratio as provided in the plan of conversion and reorganization, a form of letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of such certificate to the exchange agent, advising such holder of the terms of the exchange and of the procedure for surrendering to the exchange agent such certificate in exchange for a certificate or certificates evidencing Home Federal Bancorp common stock. Home Federal Bancorp's shareholders should not forward Home Federal Bancorp common stock certificates to Home Federal Savings and Loan or the exchange agent until they have received the transmittal letter.

133

Table of Contents

No holder of a certificate theretofore representing shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will be entitled to receive any dividends in respect of the common stock into which such shares shall have been converted until the certificate representing such shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock is surrendered in exchange for certificates representing shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock to be re-named "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc." In the event that we declare dividends after the conversion and offering but prior to surrender of certificates representing shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, dividends payable in respect of shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock not then issued shall accrue, without interest. Any such dividends shall be paid, without interest, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock. We will be entitled, after the completion of the conversion and offering, to treat certificates representing shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock as evidencing ownership of the number of full shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock into which the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock represented by such certificates shall have been converted, notwithstanding the failure on the part of the holder thereof to surrender such certificates.

We will not be obligated to deliver a certificate or certificates representing shares of the new holding company's common stock to which a holder of Home Federal Bancorp common stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the conversion and offering until such holder surrenders the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock for exchange as provided above, or, in default thereof, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond as may be required in each case by Home Federal Bancorp. If any certificate evidencing shares of common stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate evidencing Home Federal Bancorp common stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange pay to the exchange agent any transfer or other tax required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of common stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the exchange agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

Required Approvals

Pursuant to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, the plan of conversion and reorganization must be approved by (1) at least a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company at the special meeting of members, and (2) holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock at the special meeting of shareholders. In addition, the consummation of the conversion and offering is conditioned on the approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization by at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, excluding the shares held by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, at the special meeting of shareholders. In addition, the plan of conversion and reorganization must be approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Certain Restrictions on Purchase or Transfer of Shares After the Conversion and Offering

All shares of common stock purchased in connection with the conversion and offering by our directors or executive officers will be subject to a restriction that the shares not be sold for a period of one year following the conversion and offering, except in the event of the death of such director or executive officer or pursuant to a merger or similar transaction approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Each certificate for restricted shares will bear a legend giving notice of this restriction on transfer, and appropriate stop-transfer instructions will be issued to our transfer agent. Any shares of common stock issued within this one-year period as a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise with respect to such restricted stock will be subject to the same restrictions. Our directors and executive officers will also be subject to the insider trading rules promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Purchases of our common stock by our directors, executive officers and their associates during the three-year period following completion of the conversion and offering may be made only through a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except with the prior written approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. This restriction does not apply, however, to negotiated transactions involving more than 1% of our outstanding common stock or to the purchase of stock pursuant to any tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan, such as the employee stock ownership plan, or by any non-tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan, such as the 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan.

ACQUISITION OF FIRST LOUISIANA BANCSHARES

General

On December 11, 2007, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. Under the terms of the merger agreement, First Louisiana will merge with and into a newly formed Louisiana corporation, also called Home Federal Bancorp, with the new holding company being the survivor of the merger. The merger agreement also provides for the subsequent merger of First Louisiana Bank with and into Home Federal Savings and Loan Association with Home Federal Savings and Loan being the survivor. First Louisiana Bank is a Louisiana-chartered commercial bank operating from its main office and two branch offices in Shreveport and Bossier City, Louisiana. At December 31, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares had total consolidated assets of $123.1 million, total deposits of $92.8 million, total consolidated borrowings of $16.6 million and total stockholders' equity of $11.2 million. Simultaneous with the completion of the merger, the new holding company will change its name to "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc." and Home Federal Savings and Loan will change its name to "First Louisiana Bank."

Reasons for the Acquisition

Home Federal Bancorp's board of directors believes that the merger will enhance the competitive position of the combined entities and enable the resulting institution to compete more effectively than either Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares could on its own. The combined entity will have greater financial resources and, as a result of the offering, increased capital levels. The conversion and the merger will provide it with increased resources being available to expand and enhance our lending operations as well as providing greater resources to expand our services. The merger also provides us with the opportunity to combine management talent. As a result, we believe the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares, when combined with the conversion and offering, will better enable us to serve the convenience and needs of our customers and the communities in which we operate and will enhance our ability to compete effectively against the larger regional and super-regional financial institutions operating in our area.

The merger, combined with the offering, will permit Home Federal Savings and Loan to use a significant portion of its capital, while continuing to exceed each of the regulatory capital requirements. In addition to enabling Home Federal Savings and Loan to expand its franchise, which will enhance its ability to compete in its market area, the merger is also expected to reduce the pressure to leverage its balance sheet that typically exists when institutions without high capital levels engage in stock offerings.

135

Table of Contents

Management of the Combined Company

In addition, following the merger, the seven members of First Louisiana Bancshares' board of directors will join the new holding company's nine-member board of directors and the five members of First Louisiana Bank's board of directors will join Home Federal Savings and Loan's nine-member board of directors. Daniel R. Herndon, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Home Federal Bancorp, will serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the new holding company. Ron C. Boudreaux, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Louisiana Bancshares, will become the President and Chief Operating Officer of the new holding company. Mr. Boudreaux will also become President and Chief Executive Officer of Home Federal Savings and Loan. In addition, David L. Winkler, Chairman of First Louisiana Bancshares, will be appointed as Vice Chairman of the boards of directors of both the new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan. In addition, Clyde D. Patterson, the Executive Vice President of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan, will be Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the new holding company.

Terms of the Acquisition

Consideration to be Received in the Merger. When the merger becomes effective, each share of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger will automatically be converted into the right to receive, at the holder's election, either $28.00 in cash or 2.8 shares of new holding company common stock in exchange for each share of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock. Based on the current number of shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock outstanding, the new holding company will issue an aggregate of approximately 1,324,720 shares of common stock and pay approximately $8.8 million in cash to stockholders of First Louisiana Bancshares, assuming none of the outstanding options to purchase shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock are exercised prior to completion of the merger. At the midpoint of the offering range, former First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders will own approximately 31.7% of the outstanding common stock of the new holding company.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders may elect to convert their shares into cash, new holding company common stock or a mixture of cash and new holding company common stock. All elections of First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders are further subject to the allocation and proration procedures described in the merger agreement. These procedures provide, among other things, that the number of shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock to be converted into new holding company common stock in the merger must be equal to 60% of the total number of shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock issued, with the remaining 40% being converted to cash. Neither Home Federal Bancorp nor First Louisiana Bancshares is making any recommendation as to whether First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders should elect to receive cash or new holding company common stock in the merger. Each holder of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock must make his or her own decision with respect to such election.

It is unlikely that elections will be made in the exact proportions provided for in the merger agreement. As a result, the merger agreement describes procedures to be followed if First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders in the aggregate elect to receive more or less of the new holding company common stock than we have agreed to issue. These procedures are summarized below.

If Stock Is Oversubscribed: If First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders elect to receive more new holding company common stock than we have agreed to issue in the merger, then all First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders who have elected to receive cash or who have made no election will receive cash for their First Louisiana Bancshares shares and all stockholders who elected to receive new holding company common stock will receive a pro rata portion of the available new holding company shares plus cash for those shares not converted into new holding company common stock.

If Stock Is Undersubscribed: If First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders elect to receive fewer shares of new holding company common stock than we have agreed to issue in the merger, then all First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders who have elected to receive new holding company common stock will receive new holding company common stock and all stockholders who elected to receive cash or who have made no election will be treated in the following manner:

136

Table of Contents

If the number of shares held by First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders who have made no election is sufficient to make up the shortfall in the number of new holding company shares that new holding company is required to issue, then all First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders who elected cash will receive cash, and those stockholders who made no election will receive both cash and new holding company common stock in whatever proportion is necessary to meet the requirement that 60% of the shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock are converted to shares of common stock of the new holding company.

If the number of shares held by First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders who have made no election is insufficient to make up the shortfall, then all First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders who made no election will receive common stock of the new holding company and those First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders who elected to receive cash will receive cash and new holding company common stock in whatever proportion is necessary to make up the shortfall.

First Louisiana Bancshares's stockholders will not receive fractional shares of new holding company common stock. Instead, they will receive a cash payment for any fractional shares in an amount equal to the product of such fractional amount multiplied by $10.00.

Treatment of First Louisiana Bancshares Stock Options. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding option to purchase shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock will be converted into an option to purchase shares of the new holding company common stock. The number of shares of new holding company common stock subject to each converted option will be equal to the number of shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock subject to the option immediately prior to the completion of the merger multiplied by 2.8. The exercise price of each such converted option will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the per share exercise of such First Louisiana Bancshares option by 2.8.

Conditions to Completing the Acquisition

The merger agreement sets forth a series of conditions that must be satisfied or waived before First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp are obligated to close the merger. These conditions include:

prior completion of the conversion and offering;

In addition, failure to complete the merger will result in the termination of the conversion and offering.

RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUISITIONS OF HOME FEDERAL BANCORP AND HOME FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN AND RELATED ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS

Restrictions in Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and Louisiana Law

Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws and Louisiana law which deal with matters of corporate governance and rights of shareholders might be deemed to have a potential anti-takeover effect. Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide, among other things,

that our board of directors is divided into classes with only one-third of our directors standing for reelection each year;

that no person shall directly or indirectly acquire or offer to acquire beneficial ownership of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of Home Federal Bancorp;

that special meetings of shareholders may be called by shareholders who beneficially own at least 50% of the outstanding voting shares of Home Federal Bancorp;

that shareholders generally must provide us advance notice of shareholder proposals and director nominations and provide certain specified related information; and

the authority to issue shares of authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock and to establish the terms of any one or more series of preferred stock, including voting rights, without additional shareholder approval.

Provisions of the Louisiana Business Corporation Law applicable to us as well as our articles of incorporation contain certain provisions which may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect, including:

rights of shareholders to receive the fair value for their shares following a control transaction from a controlling person or group; and

a supermajority voting requirement for a business combination with an "interested shareholder" (defined generally as the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the corporation's outstanding shares) unless certain minimum price and procedural safeguards are satisfied.

The provisions noted above as well as others discussed below may have the effect of discouraging a future takeover attempt which is not approved by our board of directors but which individual shareholders may consider to be in their best interests or in which shareholders may receive a substantial premium for their shares over the then current market price. As a result, shareholders who might wish to participate in such a transaction may not have an opportunity to do so. The provisions may also render the removal of our board of directors or management more difficult. Furthermore, such provisions could render us being deemed less attractive to a potential acquiror and/or could result in our shareholders receiving a lesser amount of consideration for their shares of our common stock than otherwise could have been available either in the market generally and/or in a takeover.

138

Table of Contents

A more detailed discussion of these and other provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws and the Louisiana Business Corporation Law is set forth below.

Board of Directors. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that our board of directors be divided into three classes of directors each and that the members of each class be elected for a term of three years and until their successors are elected and qualified, with one class being elected annually. Holders of our common stock will not have cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Under our articles of incorporation, subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having preference over our common stock, any vacancy occurring in our board of directors, including any vacancy created by reason of an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors, whether or not a quorum is present. Any director so chosen to fill a vacancy will hold office for the remainder of the term to which the director has been elected and until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

Our articles of incorporation also provide that, subject to the rights of the holder of any class or series of stock having preference over our common stock, any director may be removed by shareholders without cause by the affirmative vote of at least 75% of all outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, and may be removed with cause only upon the vote of at least a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by shareholders. Cause for removal will be deemed to exist only if the director in question:

convicted of a felony or an offense punishable by imprisonment for a term of more than one year by a court of competent jurisdiction; or

deemed liable by a court of competent jurisdiction for gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of duties to Home Federal Bancorp.

Limitation on Voting Rights. Article 9.A of our articles of incorporation provides that no person shall directly or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial ownership of (i) more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of any class of an equity security of Home Federal Bancorp, or (ii) any securities convertible into, or exercisable for, any equity securities of Home Federal Bancorp if, assuming conversion or exercise by such person of all securities of which such person is the beneficial owner which are convertible into, or exercisable for, such equity securities (but of no securities convertible into, or exercisable for, such equity securities of which such person is not the beneficial owner), such person would be the beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of an equity security of Home Federal Bancorp. The term "person" is broadly defined to prevent circumvention of this restriction.

The foregoing restrictions do not apply to (i) any offer with a view toward public resale made exclusively to Home Federal Bancorp by underwriters or a selling group acting on its behalf, (ii) any tax-qualified employee benefit plan or arrangement established by us and any trustee of such a plan or arrangement, and (iii) any other offer or acquisition approved in advance by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of our entire board of directors. In the event that shares are acquired in violation of Article 9.A, all shares beneficially owned by any person in excess of 10% shall be considered "Excess Shares" and shall not be counted as shares entitled to vote and shall not be voted by any person or counted as voting shares in connection with any matters submitted to shareholders for a vote, and the board of directors may cause such Excess Shares to be transferred to an independent trustee for sale on the open market or otherwise, with the expenses of such trustee to be paid out of the proceeds of sale.

Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. Article 7.A of our articles of incorporation provides that a director or officer of Home Federal Bancorp will not be personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, as a director or officer except to the extent that by law a director's or officer's liability for monetary damages may not be limited. This provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of our directors and officers for (a) any breach of the director's or officer's duty of loyalty to Home Federal Bancorp or our shareholders, (b) any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) any unlawful dividend, stock repurchase or other distribution, payment or return of assets to shareholders, or (d) any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit. This provision may preclude shareholder derivative actions and may be construed to preclude other third-party claims against the directors and officers.

139

Table of Contents

Our articles of incorporation also provide that Home Federal Bancorp shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, including actions by or in the right of Home Federal Bancorp, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Such indemnification is furnished to the full extent provided by law against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The indemnification provisions also permit us to pay reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding as authorized by our board of directors, provided that the indemnified person undertakes to repay us if it is ultimately determined that such person was not entitled to indemnification.

The rights of indemnification provided in our articles of incorporation are not exclusive of any other rights which may be available under our bylaws, any insurance or other agreement, by vote of shareholders or directors, regardless of whether directors authorizing such indemnification are beneficiaries thereof, or otherwise. In addition, the articles of incorporation authorize us to maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, whether or not we would have the power to provide indemnification to such person. By action of the board of directors, we may create and fund a trust fund or other fund or form of self-insurance arrangement of any nature, and may enter into agreements with our officers, directors, employees and agents for the purpose of securing or insuring in any manner its obligation to indemnify or advance expenses provided for in the provisions in the articles of incorporation and bylaws regarding indemnification. These provisions are designed to reduce, in appropriate cases, the risks incident to serving as a director, officer, employee or agent and to enable us to attract and retain the best personnel available.

Authorized Shares. Article 4 of our articles of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of stock, of which 10,000,000 shares shall be shares of serial preferred stock, and 40,000,000 shall be common stock. The shares of common stock and preferred stock were authorized in an amount greater than that to be issued in the conversion and reorganization to provide our board of directors with as much flexibility as possible to effect, among other transactions, financings, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and employee stock options. However, these additional authorized shares may also be used by the board of directors consistent with its fiduciary duty to deter future attempts to gain control of Home Federal Bancorp. The board of directors also has sole authority to determine the terms of any one or more series of preferred stock, including voting rights, conversion rates, and liquidation preferences. As a result of the ability to fix voting rights for a series of preferred stock, the board has the power, to the extent consistent with its fiduciary duty, to issue a series of preferred stock to persons friendly to management in order to attempt to block a post-tender offer merger or other transaction by which a third party seeks control, and thereby assist management to retain its position. We currently have no plans for the issuance of additional shares, other than the issuance of additional shares pursuant to stock benefit plans and in connection with the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares.

Special Meetings of Shareholders and Shareholder Nominations and Proposals. Article 8.B of the articles of incorporation provides that special meetings of shareholders may only be called by (i) the President, (ii) a majority of the board of directors, and (iii) by persons who beneficially own an aggregate of at least 50% of the outstanding voting shares, except as may otherwise be provided by law. The articles of incorporation also provide that any action permitted to be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is given by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote and filed with the secretary of Home Federal Bancorp.

Article 8.D of our articles of incorporation provides that only such business as shall have been properly brought before an annual meeting of shareholders shall be conducted at the annual meeting.

To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be specified in the notice of the meeting, or any supplement thereto, given by or at the direction of the board of directors, or otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to Home Federal Bancorp's secretary. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at Home Federal Bancorp's principal executive offices not later than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the mailing of proxy materials by Home Federal Bancorp in connection with the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders, or, in the case of the first annual meeting of shareholders following the conversion and reorganization, by August 31, 2008. Home Federal Bancorp's articles of incorporation also require that the notice must contain certain information in order to be considered. The board of directors may reject any shareholder proposal not made in accordance with the articles of incorporation. The presiding officer of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with our articles of incorporation, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

140

Table of Contents

Article 5.F. of our articles of incorporation provide that, subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, all nominations for election to the board of directors, other than those made by the board or a committee thereof, shall be made by a shareholder who has complied with the notice provisions in such Article 5.F. Written notice of a shareholder nomination must include certain specified information and must be communicated to the attention of the secretary and either delivered to, or mailed and received at, Home Federal Bancorp's principal executive offices not later than (a) with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders, 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the mailing of proxy materials by Home Federal Bancorp in connection with the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders, or in the case of the first annual meeting following the conversion and reorganization by August 31, 2008.

The procedures regarding shareholder proposals and nominations are intended to provide Home Federal Bancorp's board of directors with the information deemed necessary to evaluate a shareholder proposal or nomination and other relevant information, such as existing shareholder support, as well as the time necessary to consider and evaluate such information in advance of the applicable meeting. The proposed procedures, however, will give incumbent directors advance notice of a business proposal or nomination. This may make it easier for the incumbent directors to defeat a shareholder proposal or nomination, even when certain shareholders view such proposal or nomination as in the best interests of Home Federal Bancorp or its shareholders.

Amendment of Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Article 11 of our articles of incorporation generally provides that any amendment of the articles of incorporation must be first approved by a majority of the board of directors and then by the holders of a majority of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp entitled to vote in an election of directors, except that the approval of 75% of the shares entitled to vote in an election of directors is required for any amendment to Articles 5 (directors), 6 (preemptive rights), 7 (indemnification), 8 (meetings of shareholders and shareholder proposals), 9 (restrictions on acquisitions) and 11 (amendments).

Our bylaws may be amended by a majority of the board of directors or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total shares entitled to vote in an election of directors, except that the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the total shares entitled to vote in an election of directors shall be required to amend, adopt, alter, change or repeal any provision inconsistent with certain specified provisions of the bylaws.

Louisiana Corporate Law

In addition to the provisions contained in our articles of incorporation, the Louisiana Business Corporation Law includes certain provisions applicable to Louisiana corporations, such as Home Federal Bancorp, which may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect. Such provisions include (i) rights of shareholders to receive the fair value of their shares of stock following a control transaction from a controlling person or group and (ii) requirements relating to certain business combinations. Article 10 of our articles of incorporation provides that the Louisiana control share law is inapplicable to Home Federal Bancorp.

The Louisiana Business Corporation Law defines a "Business Combination" generally to include (a) any merger, consolidation or share exchange of the corporation with an "Interested Shareholder" or affiliate thereof, (b) any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition, other than in the ordinary course of business, of assets equal to 10% or more of the market value of the corporation's outstanding stock or of the corporation's net worth to any Interested Shareholder or affiliate thereof in any 12-month period, (c) the issuance or transfer by the corporation of equity securities of the corporation with an aggregate market value of 5% or more of the total market value of the corporation's outstanding stock to any Interested Shareholder or affiliate thereof, except in certain circumstances, (d) the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the corporation in which anything other than cash will be received by an Interested Shareholder or affiliate thereof, or (e) any reclassification of the corporation's stock or merger which increases by 5% or more the ownership interest of the Interested Shareholder or any affiliate thereof. "Interested Shareholder" includes any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock, or any affiliate thereof who had such beneficial ownership during the preceding two years, excluding in each case the corporation, its subsidiaries and their benefit plans.

141

Table of Contents

Under the Louisiana Business Corporation Law, a business combination must be approved by any vote otherwise required by law or the articles of incorporation, and by the affirmative vote of at least each of the following: (1) 80% of the total outstanding voting stock of the corporation; and (2) two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock held by persons other than the Interested Shareholder. However, the supermajority vote requirement shall not be applicable if the Business Combination meets certain minimum price requirements and other procedural safeguards, or if the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the time that the Interested Shareholder first became an Interested Shareholder.

The Louisiana Business Corporation Law authorizes the board of directors of Louisiana business corporations to create and issue (whether or not in connection with the issuance of any of its shares or other securities) rights and options granting to the holders thereof (1) the right to convert shares or obligations into shares of any class, or (2) the right or option to purchase shares of any class, in each case upon such terms and conditions as Home Federal Bancorp may deem expedient.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Louisiana Business Corporation Law

The foregoing provisions of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Home Federal Bancorp and Louisiana law could have the effect of discouraging an acquisition of Home Federal Bancorp or stock purchases in furtherance of an acquisition, and could accordingly, under certain circumstances, discourage transactions which might otherwise have a favorable effect on the price of our common stock.

The board of directors believes that the provisions described above are prudent and will reduce vulnerability to takeover attempts and certain other transactions that are not negotiated with and approved by our board of directors. The board of directors believes that these provisions are in our best interests and the best interest of our shareholders. In the board of director's judgment, the board of directors is in the best position to determine our true value and to negotiate more effectively for what may be in the best interests of shareholders. Accordingly, the board of directors believes that it is in our best interests and the best interest of our shareholders to encourage potential acquirors to negotiate directly with the board of directors and that these provisions will encourage such negotiations and discourage hostile takeover attempts. It is also the board of directors' view that these provisions should not discourage persons from proposing a merger or other transaction at prices reflective of the true value of our stock and where the transaction is in the best interests of all shareholders.

Despite the board of directors' belief as to the benefits to our shareholders of the foregoing provisions, these provisions also may have the effect of discouraging a future takeover attempt in which shareholders might receive a substantial premium for their shares over then current market prices and may tend to perpetuate existing management. As a result, shareholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have an opportunity to do so. The board of directors, however, has concluded that the potential benefits of these provisions outweigh their possible disadvantages.

Regulatory Restrictions

The Change in Bank Control Act provides that no person, acting directly or indirectly or through or in concert with one or more other persons, may acquire control of a savings institution unless the Office of Thrift Supervision has been given 60 days' prior written notice. The Home Owners' Loan Act provides that no company may acquire "control" of a savings institution without the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Any company that acquires such control becomes a thrift holding company subject to registration, examination and regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Pursuant to federal regulations, control of a savings institution is conclusively deemed to have been acquired by, among other things, the acquisition of more than 25% of any class of voting stock of the institution or the ability to control the election of a majority of the directors of an institution. Moreover, control is presumed to have been acquired, subject to rebuttal, upon the acquisition of more than 10% of any class of voting stock, or of more than 25% of any class of stock, of a savings institution where certain enumerated "control factors" are also present in the acquisition. The Office of Thrift Supervision may prohibit an acquisition if (a) it would result in a monopoly or substantially lessen competition, (b) the financial condition of the acquiring person might jeopardize the financial stability of the institution, or (c) the competence, experience or integrity of the acquiring person indicates that it would not be in the interest of the depositors or of the public to permit the acquisition of control by such person. The foregoing restrictions do not apply to the acquisition of a savings institution's capital stock by one or more tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, provided that the plan or plans do not have beneficial ownership in the aggregate of more than 25% of any class of equity security of the savings institution.

142

Table of Contents

During the conversion and offering and for three years following the conversion and offering, Office of Thrift Supervision regulations prohibit any person from acquiring, either directly or indirectly, or making an offer to acquire more than 10% of the stock of any converted savings institution, such as Home Federal Savings and Loan, without the prior written approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision, except for:

any offer with a view toward public resale made exclusively to the institution or to underwriters or a selling group acting on its behalf;

offers that if consummated would not result in the acquisition by such person during the preceding 12-month period of more than 1% of such stock;

offers in the aggregate for up to 24.9% by the employee stock ownership plan or other tax-qualified plans of Home Federal Bancorp or Home Federal Savings and Loan; and

an offer to acquire or acquisition of beneficial ownership of more than 10% of the common stock of the savings institution by a corporation whose ownership is or will be substantially the same as the ownership of the savings institution, provided that the offer or acquisition is made more than one year following the date of completion of the conversion and reorganization.

Such prohibition also is applicable to the acquisition of Home Federal Bancorp's common stock. In the event that any person, directly or indirectly, violates this regulation, the securities beneficially owned by such person in excess of 10% shall not be counted as shares entitled to vote and shall not be voted by any person or counted as voting shares in connection with any matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. The definition of beneficial ownership for this regulation extends to persons holding revocable or irrevocable proxies for an institution's stock under circumstances that give rise to a conclusive or rebuttable determination of control under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations.

In addition to the foregoing, the plan of conversion and reorganization prohibits any person, prior to the completion of the conversion and offering, from offering, or making an announcement of an intent to make an offer, to purchase subscription rights or common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW HOME FEDERAL BANCORP CAPITAL STOCK

General

We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 40,000,000 are shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share and 10,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. We currently expect to issue in connection with the conversion and offering and the merger up to a maximum of 5,438,606 shares of common stock, including exchange shares issued to current shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp and shares issued to shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares as merger consideration, and no shares of preferred stock. Each share of our common stock issued in the conversion and offering and the merger will have the same relative rights as, and will be identical in all respects with, each other share of common stock issued in the conversion and offering and the merger. Upon payment of the purchase price of $10.00 per share for the common stock in accordance with the plan of conversion and reorganization, all such stock will be duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable based on the laws and regulations in effect as of the date of consummation of the conversion and offering and the merger.

Our common stock will represent nonwithdrawable capital, will not be an account of an insurable type, and will not be insured by the FDIC.

143

Table of Contents

Common Stock

Dividends. We can pay dividends if, as and when declared by our board of directors, subject to compliance with limitations which are imposed by law. See "We Intend to Continue to Pay Quarterly Cash Dividends." The holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive and share equally in such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. If we issue preferred stock, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the common stock with respect to dividends.

Voting Rights. Upon completion of the conversion and offering and the merger, the holders of our common stock will possess exclusive voting rights in Home Federal Bancorp, which will be re-named "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc." They will elect our board of directors and act on such other matters as are required to be presented to them under Louisiana law or our articles of incorporation or as are otherwise presented to them by the board of directors. Except as discussed in "Restrictions on Acquisition of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan and Related Anti-Takeover Provisions," each holder of common stock will be entitled to one vote per share and will not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. If we issue preferred stock, holders of the preferred stock may also possess voting rights.

Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Home Federal Savings and Loan, Home Federal Bancorp, as the sole holder of the bank's capital stock, would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of Home Federal Savings and Loan, including all deposit accounts and accrued interest thereon, and after distribution of the balance in the special liquidation account to eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders (see "The Conversion and Offering – Liquidation Rights"), all assets of Home Federal Savings and Loan available for distribution. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Home Federal Bancorp, the holders of our common stock would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all our debts and liabilities, all of the assets of the company available for distribution. If preferred stock is issued, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of our common stock in the event of liquidation or dissolution.

Preemptive Rights. Holders of our common stock will not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares which may be issued in the future. Our common stock is not subject to any required redemption.

Preferred Stock

None of the shares of our authorized preferred stock will be issued in the conversion and offering. Such stock may be issued with such preferences and designations as the board of directors may from time to time determine. Our board of directors can, without shareholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation and conversion rights which could dilute the voting strength of the holders of the common stock and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or attempted change in control.

Transfer Agent and Registrar and Exchange Agent

The transfer agent and registrar and exchange agent for the common stock of Home Federal Bancorp is Registrar and Transfer Company.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary as of June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Home Federal Savings and Loan Association, as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

On January 18, 2005, Home Federal Savings and Loan Association (the Association) completed its reorganization to the mutual holding company form of organization and formed Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (the Company) to serve as the stock holding company for the Association. In connection with the reorganization, the Company sold 1,423,583 shares of its common stock in a subscription and community offering at a price of $10.00 per share. The Company also issued 60% of its outstanding common stock in the reorganization to Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana, or 2,135,375 shares.

The Association is a federally chartered, stock savings and loan association and is subject to federal regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Association provides financial services to individuals, corporate entities and other organizations through the origination of loans and the acceptance of deposits in the form of passbook savings, certificates of deposit, and demand deposit accounts. Services are provided by three offices, all of which are located in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The Association is subject to competition from other financial institutions, and is also subject to the regulations of certain Federal and State agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Home Federal Savings and Loan Association. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007, and for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial information for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include appropriate estimated provisions.

Use of Estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses.

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s activities are provided to customers of the Association by three offices, all of which are located in the City of Shreveport, Louisiana. The area served by the Association is primarily the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area; however, loan and deposit customers are found dispersed in a wider geographical area covering much of northwest Louisiana.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from banks, and federal funds sold, all of which mature within ninety days.

At December 31, 2007 (unaudited), June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents consisted of the following:

	December 31,		June 30,		June 30,

	(In Thousands)
Cash on Hand	$	246	$	198	$	229

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

Securities

The Company classifies its debt and equity investment securities into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. Investments in non-marketable equity securities and debt securities, in which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity and marketable equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are classified as either trading or available-for-sale securities.

Securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities. Investments in securities not classified as trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.

Trading account and available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings while net unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Loans

Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, less allowances for loan losses and unamortized deferred loan fees. Net non-refundable fees (loan origination fees, commitment fees, discount points) and costs associated with lending activities are being deferred and subsequently amortized into income as an adjustment of yield on the related interest earning assets using the interest method. Interest income on contractual loans receivable is recognized on the accrual method. Unearned discount on property improvement and automobile loans is deferred and amortized on the interest method over the life of the loan.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Association will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the measurement of such impairment is based upon the fair value of the collateral of the loan. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Association will recognize the impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge against earnings.

An allowance is also established for uncollectible interest on loans classified as substandard. Substandard loans are those which are in excess of ninety days delinquent. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received. When, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is back to normal, the loan is returned to accrual status.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Association has entered into commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or current fair value minus estimated cost to sell as of the date of foreclosure. Cost is defined as the lower of the fair value of the property or the recorded investment in the loan. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Buildings and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings and Improvements	10 - 40 Years
Furniture and Equipment	3 – 10 Years

Income Taxes

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary file a consolidated Federal income tax return on a fiscal year basis. Each entity will pay its pro-rata share of income taxes in accordance with a written tax-sharing agreement.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

While the Association is exempt from Louisiana income tax, it is subject to the Louisiana Ad Valorem Tax, commonly referred to as the Louisiana Shares Tax, which is based on stockholders’ equity and net income.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

Non-Direct Response Advertising

The Company expenses all advertising costs, except for direct-response advertising, as incurred. In the event the Company incurs expense for material direct-response advertising, it will be amortized over the estimated benefit period. Direct-response advertising consists of advertising whose primary purpose is to elicit sales to customers who could be shown to have responded specifically to the advertising and results in probable future benefits. For the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 (unaudited) and for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not incur any amount of direct-response advertising.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments. This Statement amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to narrow the scope of exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principal cash flows. SFAS No. 155 also amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued following the start of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets. This Statement amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to require that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. It requires additional disclosures and separate presentation in the balance sheet of the carrying amounts of servicing assets and servicing liabilities that an entity elects to subsequently measure at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all entities as of the beginning of its fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation Number (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (as amended). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Postretirement Plans. This Statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multi-employer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (an amendment of ARB No. 51). This Statement was issued to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods with those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 31, 2008.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 2. Securities (Continued)

The Company’s investment in equity securities consists primarily of shares of an adjustable rate mortgage loan mutual fund. The unrealized losses associated with this fund were caused by interest rate increases, and the timing between when these rate increases took place compared to the resulting adjustment in rates in the underlying mortgage loans. Based on management’s assessment of the financial condition of the Company, the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until a recovery of fair value occurs. Based on this assessment and because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not of credit quality, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2007 (unaudited) or at June 30, 2007.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. government. Accordingly, it is expected that these securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2007 (unaudited) or at June 30, 2007.

At December 31, 2007 (unaudited), securities with a carrying value of $1.2 million were pledged to secure public deposits.

Note 9. Federal Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiary file consolidated federal income tax returns. The current provision for federal and state income taxes is calculated on pretax accounting income adjusted by items considered to be permanent differences between book and taxable income. Income tax expense for the six months ending December 31, 2007(unaudited) and 2006 and the year ending June 30, 2007 and 2006, is summarized as follows:

	Six Months Ended December 31,						Years Ended June 30,

The effective federal income tax rate for the months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 (unaudited) was 33.75% and 34.00%, respectively, and for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 33.94% and 33.93%, respectively. The provision for income tax differs from that expected by applying federal income tax rates to income before income taxes as a result of the following:

	Six Months Ended December 31,					Years Ended June 30,
	2007			2006		2007			2006

At December 31, 2007 (unaudited), June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and tax bases of assets that gave rise to deferred tax recognition were related to the effect of loan bad debt deduction differences for tax and book purposes and deferred stock option compensation. The deferred tax expense or benefit related to securities available-for-sale has no effect on the Association’s income tax provision since it is charged or credited to the Association’s other comprehensive income or loss equity component. The net deferred income tax asset consisted of the following components at December 31, 2007 (unaudited), June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006:

	Six Months Ended			Years Ended June 30,
	December 31, 2007			2007			2006

Securities Available-for-Sale Unrealized Loss		261			1,464			1,606

Total Deferred Tax Asset	$	284		$	1,476		$	1,597

In computing federal taxes on income under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code in years past, earnings appropriated by savings and loan associations to general reserves were deductible in arriving at taxable income if certain conditions were met. Association retained earnings appropriated to the federal insurance reserve at December 31, 2007 (unaudited), June 30, 2007 and 2006, amounted to $4.0 million. Included were appropriations of net income of prior years of $3.3 million, for which no provision for federal income taxes has been made. If this portion of the reserve is used for any purpose other than to absorb losses, a tax liability will be imposed upon the Association at the then current federal income tax rate.

Note 11. Retirement Plans

Effective November 15, 2004, the Association adopted the Home Federal Savings and Loan Association Employees’ Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust administered by the Pentegra Group. This plan complies with the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Those eligible for this defined contribution plan must have completed twelve months of full time service and attained the age of 21. Participating employees may make elective salary reduction contributions of up to $15,500 for 2007, of their eligible compensation. The Association will contribute a basic “safe harbor” contribution of 3% of participant plan salary and will match 50% of the first 6% of plan salary elective deferrals. The Association is also permitted to make discretionary contributions to be allocated to participant accounts. Pension cost, including administrative fees, attributable to the Association’s 401(k) safe harbor plan for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 (unaudited) was $30,000 and $28,000, respectively, and for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, was $57,000 and $63,000, respectively.

Note 12. Employee Stock Ownership Plan

During fiscal 2005, the Company instituted an employee stock ownership plan. The Home Federal Savings and Loan Association Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) enables all eligible employees of the Association to share in the growth of the Company through the acquisition of stock. Employees are generally eligible to participate in the ESOP after completion of one year of service and attaining the age of 21.

The ESOP purchased the statutory limit of eight percent of the shares sold in the initial public offering of the Company, excluding shares issued to Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana (113,887 shares). This purchase was facilitated by a loan from the Company to the ESOP in the amount of $1.1 million. The loan is secured by a pledge of the ESOP shares. The shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The corresponding note is being repaid in 80 quarterly debt service payments of $23,000 on the last business day of each quarter, beginning March 31, 2005, at the rate of 5.25%.

The Company may contribute to the ESOP, in the form of debt service, at the discretion of its board of directors. Cash dividends on the Company’s stock shall be used to either repay the loan, be distributed to the participants in the ESOP, or retained in the ESOP and reinvested in Company stock. Shares are released for allocation to ESOP participants based on principal and interest payments of the note. Compensation expense is recognized based on the number of shares allocated to ESOP participants each year and the average market price of the stock for the current year. Released ESOP shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations.

Note 12. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (Continued)

As compensation expense is incurred, the Unearned ESOP Shares account is reduced based on the original cost of the stock. The difference between the cost and the average market price of shares released for allocation is applied to Additional Paid-In Capital. ESOP compensation expense for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 (unaudited) was $28,000 and 30,000, respectively, and for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, was $59,000 and $57,000, respectively.

Note 13. Recognition and Retention Plan

On August 10, 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved the establishment of the Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement (the Recognition Plan) as an incentive to retain personnel of experience and ability in key positions. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to award under the Recognition Plan totaled 69,756. As shares are acquired for the Recognition Plan, the purchase price of these shares will be recorded as a contra equity account. As the shares are distributed, the contra equity account will be reduced.

Recognition Plan shares are earned by recipients at a rate of 20% of the aggregate number of shares covered by the Recognition Plan over five years. If the employment of an employee or service as a non-employee director is terminated prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of grant of Recognition Plan share award for any reason, the recipient shall forfeit the right to any shares subject to the award that have not been earned.

The cost associated with the Recognition Plan is based on a share price of $9.85, which represents the market price of the Company’s stock on the date on which the Recognition Plan shares were granted. The cost is being recognized over five years. Compensation expense pertaining to the Recognition Plan was $86,000 and 68,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 (unaudited), respectively, and $134,000 and $122,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Option Plan totaled 174,389. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted under the plan.

Note 15. Off-Balance Sheet Activities

Credit Related Financial Instruments

The Association is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Association’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment.

The Association follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

At December 31, 2007 (unaudited), June 30, 2007 and 2006, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

	Contract Amount
	December 31, 2007		June 2007		June 2006

	(In Thousands)

Commitments to Grant Loans	$	2,438	$	2,132	$	-
Unfunded Commitments Under Lines of Credit		297		1,325		285

At December 31, 2007 (unaudited), the Association had one outstanding commitment to fund a fixed rate loan in the amount of $1.5 million. This commitment has an interest rate of 7.00%, and expires in April 2008.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 15. Off-Balance Sheet Activities (Continued)

Cash Deposits

At various times during the year, the Company maintains cash balances in financial institutions that are in excess of amounts insured by an agency of the federal government.

Regional Credit Concentration

A substantial portion of the Association’s lending activity is with customers located within a 100 mile radius of the Shreveport, Louisiana metropolitan area, which includes areas of northwest Louisiana, northeast Texas and southwest Arkansas. Although concentrated within the region, the Association has a diversified loan portfolio, which should preclude the Association from being dependent upon the well being of any particular economic sector to ensure collectibility of any significant portion of its debtors’ loan contracts.

Other Credit Concentrations

The Association has purchased, with recourse, a significant number of loans from third-party mortgage originators. These loans are serviced by these entities. At December 31, 2007 (unaudited), December 31, 2006 (unaudited) , June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, the balance of the loans outstanding being serviced by these entities was $10.8 million, $4.7 million , $7.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Floors and Caps

The Association writes interest rate floors and caps into its variable rate mortgage loan contracts and loan servicing agreements in an attempt to manage its interest rate exposure. Such floors and caps enable customers to transfer, modify, or reduce their interest rate risk, which, in turn, creates an off-balance sheet market risk to the Association. At December 31, 2007 (unaudited), the Association's loan portfolio contained approximately $10.8 million of loans in which the loan contracts or servicing agreements possessed interest rate floors and caps. Of this amount, $10.7 million consisted of purchased loans, which were originated by third-party mortgage originators. At June 30, 2007, the Association’s loan portfolio contained approximately $7.8 million of loans in which the loan contracts or servicing agreements possessed interest rate floors and caps. Of this amount, $7.7 million consisted of purchased loans, which were originated by third-party mortgage originators.

Note 16. Related Party Events

In the ordinary course of business, the Association makes loans to its directors and officers. These loans are made on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and do not involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features.

An analysis of the activity in loans made to such borrowers (both direct and indirect), including lines of credit, is summarized as follows for the six months ended December 31, 2007 (unaudited) and for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

	December 31,			June 30,			June 30,

Deposits from related parties held by the Association at December 31, 2007 (unaudited), June 30, 2007 and 2006, amounted to $1.5 million, $1.5 million and $734,000, respectively.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 17. Regulatory Matters

The Association is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly other discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Association’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Association must meet specific capital requirements that involve quantitative measures of the Association’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Association’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

The Association is required to maintain minimum capital ratios under OTS regulatory guidelines in order to ensure capital adequacy. Management believes, as of December 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, that the Association met all OTS capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2007 (unaudited) and June 30, 2007, the most recent notification from the OTS categorized the Association as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Association must maintain minimum capital ratios, which are different than those required to meet OTS capital adequacy requirements. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes may have changed the Association’s category. The Association was also classified as well capitalized at June 30, 2006.

The Association’s actual and required capital amounts and ratios for OTS regulatory capital adequacy purposes are presented below as of December 31, 2007 (unaudited), June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 18. Restrictions on Dividends

Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid by the Association to the Company. The total amount of dividends which may be paid at any date is generally limited to the retained earnings of the Association.

Note 19. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 107 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board which requires disclosure of the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate fair value.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Association in estimating fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount approximates the fair value of cash and cash equivalents.

Securities to be Held-to-Maturity and Available-for-Sale

Fair values for investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities, are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying values of restricted or non-marketable equity securities approximate their fair values. The carrying amount of accrued investment income approximates its fair value.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale

Because these loans are normally disposed of within ninety days of origination, their carrying value closely approximates the fair value of such loans.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 19. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

Loans Receivable

For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant changes in credit risk, fair value approximates the carrying value. Fair values for other loans are estimated using the discounted value of expected future cash flows. Interest rates used are those being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair values for demand deposit accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, that is, their carrying amounts. Fair values for other deposit accounts are estimated using the discounted value of expected future cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates of currently offered for deposits of similar maturities.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank

The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximates their fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements.

Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount of accrued interest payable on deposits and borrowings approximates the fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit-Related Instruments

Fair values for outstanding mortgage loan commitments to lend are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining term of the agreements, customer credit quality, and changes in lending rates. The fair value of interest rate floors and caps contained in some loan servicing agreements and variable rate mortgage loan contracts are considered immaterial within the context of fair value disclosure requirements. Accordingly, no fair value estimate is provided for these instruments.

At December 31, 2007 (unaudited), June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, the carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Association’s financial instruments were as follows:

Note 20. Plan of Reorganization and Stock Issuance

As disclosed in Note 1, on January 18, 2005, Home Federal Savings and Loan Association completed its reorganization to the mutual holding company form of organization and formed Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana to serve as the stock holding company for the Association. In connection with the reorganization, the Company sold 1,423,583 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share, and issued 2,135,375 shares to Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana (the Mutual Holding Company). The Company’s ESOP purchased 113,887 shares, financed by a loan from the Company. The net proceeds from the sale of this stock were approximately $12,266,000, and the cost associated with the stock conversion was approximately $730,000.

Following the completion of the reorganization, all depositors who had membership or liquidation rights with respect to the Association as of the effective date of the reorganization continue to have such rights solely with respect to the Mutual Holding Company so long as they continue to hold deposit accounts with the Association. In addition, all persons who became depositors of the Association subsequent to the reorganization will have such membership and liquidation rights with respect to the Mutual Holding Company. Borrower members of the Association at the time of the reorganization have the same membership rights in the Mutual Holding Company that they had in the Association immediately prior to the reorganization so long as their existing borrowings remain outstanding.

Note 23. Subsequent Event (Unaudited)

On December 11, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Agreement) with First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc. (First Louisiana) which provides for the merger of First Louisiana with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger. The Agreement also provides for the subsequent merger of First Louisiana Bank, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of First Louisiana, with and into the Association. The name of the surviving bank shall be First Louisiana Bank. In connection with the merger, the Company’s current mutual holding company, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana (the MHC), which owns approximately 63.1% of the Company’s outstanding shares, will be merged into the Company in order to consummate the conversion of the Company to a full stock form organization, pursuant to a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the Plan). In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, shareholders of the Company other than the MHC will receive new shares of common stock of a new holding company pursuant to an exchange ratio designed to preserve their aggregate percentage ownership interest prior to the merger.

Under the terms of the Agreement, First Louisiana’s shareholders will be entitled to receive either $28.00 in cash or 2.8 shares of common stock (assuming a $10.00 per share initial public offering price) of the newly formed holding company in exchange for each share of First Louisiana common stock. The merger with First Louisiana is valued at approximately $23.7 million and is expected to close late in the second calendar quarter of 2008.

The Company and First Louisiana have each made representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement including, among others, covenants governing the conduct of the Company’s and First Louisiana’s business pending the merger. The Company and First Louisiana have also made certain additional necessary covenants, including among others, covenants to cause the Company’s and First Louisiana’s shareholder meetings to be held to consider approval of the merger; the Company’s and First Louisiana’s respective board of directors to, subject to certain exceptions, recommend adoption and approval by their respective shareholders of the Agreement; and for First Louisiana to not solicit proposal relating to alternative business combination transactions or, subject to certain exceptions, enter into discussions concerning or provide confidential information in connection with alternative business combination transactions.

Following the merger, the seven members of First Louisiana’s board of directors will join the Company’s board of directors, and the five members of First Louisiana Bank’s board of directors will join the Association’s board of directors.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 23. Subsequent Event (Unaudited) (Continued)

The Agreement contains provisions that provide for the termination of the Agreement in certain circumstances. Such provisions may require First Louisiana to pay the Company $250,000, and if within 24 months after such termination First Louisiana enters into an agreement with respect ot or consummates an acquisition, proposal, First Louisiana must pay the Company an additional $450,000.

In conjunction with the Plan of Merger with First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc., on December 11, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization, as amended (the “Plan”) whereby Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana (the “Mutual Holding Company”), the mutual holding company parent of the Company, will convert from a mutual holding company to a federal interim stock savings association (the “Conversion”). The Conversion will be comprised of a number of substantially simultaneous transactions which will result in the conversion and elimination of the Mutual Holding Company and the Company. The Company’s stock held by the Mutual Holding Company will be offered on a priority basis to qualifying depositors and certain borrowers, and the employee stock ownership plan, with any remaining shares to be offered to the public in a direct community offering and possibly in a syndicated community offering.

As part of the Conversion, the Association will establish a liquidation account in an amount equal to the percentage of outstanding shares of Company common stock owned by the Mutual Holding Company prior to the Conversion, multiplied by the Company’s total equity as reflected in its latest statement of financial condition contained in the final prospectus utilized in the Conversion. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who maintain their deposit accounts in the Association after the Conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that such account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits as of each anniversary date. Subsequent increases will not restore an account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Association subsequent to the Conversion, each eligible account holder will be entitled to receive a liquidation distribution from the liquidation account in the amount of the then current subaccount balances for deposit accounts then held.

Subsequent to the Conversion, the Company may not declare or pay dividends on, and may not repurchase, any of its shares of common stock if the effect thereof would cause stockholders’ equity to be reduced below applicable regulatory capital maintenance requirements or if such declaration, payment or repurchase would otherwise violate regulatory requirements.

Conversion cost will be deferred and reduce the proceeds from the shares sold in the Conversion. If the Conversion is not completed, all costs will be expensed. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank had incurred approximately $109,000 of Conversion costs.

First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Shreveport, Louisiana

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Over-Sight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As more fully explained in Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with another entity. Pursuant to such agreement, a new holding company and a new bank would emerge. If the provisions of the agreement are consummated, there will be changes in the organizational structure of both entities.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) and its Subsidiaries, First Louisiana Bank (the Bank) and First Louisiana Agency, Inc. (the Agency). The Company owns 100% of the outstanding stock of the Bank and the Agency. The Company was incorporated as a "bank holding company" under the Federal Reserve Bank laws on June 30, 1998. Effective March 11, 2005, the Company's structure was changed from a "bank holding company" to a "financial holding company." This change allowed the Company to engage in other types of financial services, including insurance. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidating the financial statements.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Most of the Bank's business activity is with customers located within the Shreveport and Bossier City, Louisiana area. The loan categories are detailed in Note 3. Although the economy in general in the area is doing well, it could decline in the future.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowance for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate may change materially in the near future.

Investment Securities - The Company accounts for its securities following the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (Statement 115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Under Statement 115, the Company classifies its debt and marketable equity securities in one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. All other securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.

F-48

Table of Contents

1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. (Continued)

Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Transfers of securities between categories are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer.

A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to operations resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on securities available for sale which have been reported as direct increases or decreases in stockholders' equity, net of related deferred tax effects, are accounted for as other comprehensive income, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (Statement 130), Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement also requires that cumulative changes in unrealized gains and losses on such securities be accounted for in accumulated other comprehensive income as part of stockholders' equity.

Federal Funds Sold/Purchased - Federal funds sold/purchased are stated at the cash amount loaned to/borrowed from the member bank. Interest is recognized on a daily basis as the funds are regularly rolled over.

Loans - Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an allowance for loan losses. Interest income on loans is recognized over the term of the loan and is computed using the simple-interest method on principal amounts outstanding.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Recoveries of amounts preciously charged off are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to provide for probable loan losses. Management, in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, takes into consideration examinations conducted by bank supervisory authorities, results of internal review procedures, prior loan loss experience, and an assessment of current and anticipated future economic conditions on the loan portfolio.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. However, loans may be placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. (Continued)

Bank Premises and Equipment - Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on substantially the straight-line method. Estimated lives are two to fifteen years for furniture and equipment, and three to thirty-nine years for buildings and improvements. Land is stated at cost.

Real Estate Owned Other than Bank Premises - Real estate owned other than bank premises represents property acquired through foreclosure or deeded in lieu of foreclosure on loans which the borrowers have defaulted as to payment of principal and interest. Amounts are carried at the lower of cost of acquisition or the asset's fair value, less estimated selling costs. Reductions in the balance at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent write-downs to reflect current fair value are charged to noninterest expense.

Income Taxes - Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year (after exclusion of nontaxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities) and changes in deferred taxes on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (Statement 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold.

Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs amounted to approximately $109,000 and $108,000 for 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are included in other expense.

Compensated Absences - Employees of the Bank are entitled to paid vacations, sick days and other time off depending on job classification, length of service and other factors. The Bank does not accumulate vacation or sick time. The estimate for the amount of compensation for future absences was $ -0- and, accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Bank's policy is to recognize the costs of compensated absences when paid to employees.

Stock Compensation Plans - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Statement 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the Corporation's stock option plan have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and under Opinion No. 25 no compensation cost is recognized for them. The Corporation has elected to continue with the accounting methodology in Opinion No. 25 and, as a result, has provided pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share and other disclosures, as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied.

Earnings Per Common Share - Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Corporation relate solely to outstanding stock options.

Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:

Net income		817,736		1,058,185
Less-preferred stock dividends		-		-

Average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per common share		874,695		864,835

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation Number (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (as amended). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (as amended). This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This Statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. An employer with publicly traded equity securities shall initially apply the requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 31, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2008.

1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. (Continued)

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (as amended). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to provide entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.

Reclassification - Certain accounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current-year financial statements.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Management has determined that there was no other-than-temporary impairment associated with these securities at December 31, 2007.

No securities were sold during 2007 or 2006.

Investment securities having approximate carrying values of $2,912,000 and $2,078,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

5.	Real Estate Owned Other than Bank Premises.

Real estate owned other than bank premises represents property acquired through foreclosure or deeded in lieu of foreclosure on loans on which the borrowers have defaulted as to payment of principal and interest. Amounts are carried at the lower of cost of acquisition or the asset's fair value less estimated costs to sell. Reductions in the balance at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent write-downs to reflect current fair value are charged to noninterest expense. Direct costs incurred in foreclosures are also charged to noninterest expense. There were no allowances for possible write-downs at December 31, 2007 or 2006.

7.	Other Borrowed Funds. (Continued)

In July 2002, First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc. (the Parent) entered into a multiple advance loan agreement for $1,850,030 with First National Bankers Bank to fund the construction of the Bank's new main office facility. As of June 30, 2004, this line of credit was increased to $2,350,000 to help fund the additional capital needed for construction of the Bossier branch building. On September 30, 2005, this loan was converted to term debt with interest payable quarterly and a $235,000 principal payment due annually with a maturity date of September 30, 2015. The Company paid the loan in full on September 28, 2006. The loan had a variable interest rate based on prime and was secured by 425,000 shares of the Bank's stock. In October 2006, subsequent to paying off the term debt, the Parent requested a $1,500,045 standby line of credit with First National Bankers Bank to be used, if needed, for capital injections to the Bank to offset future increases in fixed assets from expansions. The line of credit has a variable interest rate based on prime, 7.25% at December 31, 2007, and a maturity date of March 31, 2008. The line of credit is secured by 375,000 shares of the Bank’s stock. As of December 31, 2007, the balance of the line of credit was $-0-.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Bank had an unsecured line of credit for the purchase of federal funds with a correspondent bank in the amount of $4,900,000 and $3,900,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Bank had $-0- and $-0- of federal funds purchased outstanding against this line of credit.

Leases.

The Bank has an operating lease for its downtown location and several operating leases for various equipment with terms ranging from one to ten years. Rent expense for 2007 and 2006 was $46,147 and $47,535, respectively.

At December 31, 2007, future minimum lease payments under these leases were as follows:

2008			44,261
2009			40,407
2010			40,407
2011			19,230
			144,305

9.	Income Taxes.

The Bank has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires that deferred income taxes be measured on the temporary differences in tax bases of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes, and that such deferred income taxes be measured using currently enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be settled. A valuation allowance is established, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that will more likely than not be realized. Under this standard, income tax expense consists of income taxes currently payable or refundable for the period, plus the net change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Income taxes are summarized as follows:

	2007			2006

Federal income taxes-current		318,200			534,358
Federal income taxes-deferred		(27,000	)		(46,600	)
Total		291,200			487,758

9.	Income Taxes. (Continued)

The reasons for the differences between the statutory federal income tax rate and the effective tax rate are as follows:

	2007			2006

Statutory tax rate		34.0	%		34.0	%
Effect of nontaxable interest income		(6.3	%)		(3.2	%)
Other, net		(1.4	%)		0.8	%
Effective tax rate		26.3	%		31.6	%

The components of the net deferred asset are as follows:

Deferred tax assets:
Net unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale	-	22,401
Allowance for loan losses	303,106	359,598
Deferred compensation	336,458	246,094
Other	-	2,170
	639,564	630,263

Deferred tax liabilities:
Net unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale	25,409	-
Depreciation	162,729	176,622
Other	44,670	26,075
	232,808	202,697

Net deferred tax assets	406,756	427,566

The Company has determined that no allowance is necessary, and that the tax benefit will likely be realized.

10.	Regulatory Matters.

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, that the Corporation and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

10.	Regulatory Matters. (Continued)

As of December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized", an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. The Corporation's and the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are presented in the table.

11.	Related Party Transactions.

Loans receivable from related parties amounted to approximately $566,000 and $731,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Related parties are defined as directors, executive officers, principal shareholders, or other entities in which these individuals have 10% or more beneficial ownership. Following is a summary of the activity in loans to such parties during the years 2007 and 2006:

Principal payments		(363,086	)		(235,813	)

Balance, end of year		565,808			731,361

Deposits in the bank from related parties amounted to approximately $9,646,000 and $9,570,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company had an option to buy real estate from First Property Services, L.L.C. (First Property). First Property is owned by five (5) of the Company’s directors. The option price to purchase the property was $130,000 and had an expiration date of September 29, 2008. As consideration for the option, the Company has agreed to pay essentially all of First Property’s expenses associated with ownership of the property (property taxes, insurance, interest, professional expenses). Such expenses totaled $16,100 and $10,784 during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In May 2007, the Company exercised the option and purchased the real estate for $130,000.

12.	Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk.

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

	Contractual or Notional Amount at
	December 31,
	2007		2006

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
Commitments to extend credit		13,017,000		10,597,000
Loans approved but not funded		-		679,000
Commercial and standby letters of credit		4,090,000		3,335,000

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant, and equipment; real estate; and income-producing commercial properties.

Table of Contents

12.	Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk. (Continued)

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private short-term borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

13.	Concentration of Credit Risk.

The Bank grants commercial and consumer loans to customers in Shreveport and Bossier City, Louisiana, and the surrounding area. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of loan repayment is dependent upon the general business climate in Shreveport and Bossier City.

Additionally, at times, the Bank maintains deposits and federal funds sold in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management monitors the soundness of these financial institutions and feels the Bank's risk is negligible.

14.	Stockholders' Equity.

In addition to the authorized, issued, and outstanding common stock shown on the consolidated balance sheet, the Company has 1,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock with no par value, none of which is issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

15.	Profit Sharing Plan.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company has a profit sharing plan (KSOP Salary Reduction Plan) in which all employees who have attained age 21 and have completed one year of service are eligible to participate. Participation in the plan is voluntary. For each employee's salary reduction contribution, the Company will contribute a discretionary matching contribution. In addition, the Company may make additional contributions out of current or accumulated net profits, an amount determined by the Board of Directors. The total of the Company's contributions may not exceed 6% of compensation paid to all employees or the maximum deductible under the Internal Revenue Code. Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right to terminate the plan at any time. The total expense for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $9,964 and $8,861, respectively. During 2007, the Company sold 1,295 shares of common stock to the KSOP for $14.65 per share. During 2006, the Company sold 2,345 shares of common stock to the KSOP for $13.90 per share.

16.	Stock Options.

Under the Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant options to its employees and directors for up to 64,000 shares of common stock. Both incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options may be granted under the Plan. The exercise price of each incentive option under this Plan is not less than the greater of: (1) the par value per share of the stock, or (2) one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value per share of the stock on the date of the grant of the incentive option. The exercise price of each nonstatutory option is determined by the Committee appointed by the Board of Directors to administer this Plan.

16.	Stock Options. (Continued)

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the Stock Option Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Statement 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net income would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

	2007		2006

As reported		817,736		1,058,185
Pro forma		800,140		1,042,183

During 1999, the Company granted 36,139 incentive stock options. The stock options have an exercise price of $10.00 per share, expire 10 years after the date of grant, and vest over a three year period. The per share weighted average fair value of the stock options granted during 1999 was $3.77 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 5.92%, and expected lives of 8 years.

During 2002, the Company granted 750 incentive stock options. The stock options have an exercise price of $12.50 per share, expire 10 years after the date of grant, and vest at the rate of one-third per year. The per share weighted average fair value of the stock options granted during 2002 was $2.64 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 4.08%, and expected lives of 8 years.

During 2006, the Company granted 8,000 incentive stock options. The stock options have an exercise price of $12.75 per share, expire 10 years after the date of grant, and vest immediately. The per share weighted average fair value of the stock options granted during 2006 was $4.78 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free interest rate of 5.00%, and expected lives of 8 years.

16.	Stock Options. (Continued)

Effective December 31, 1999, under a separate nonstatutory stock option plan for the organizing directors (Organizers), the Company granted 8,668 incentive stock options for each of the five (5) Organizers. The stock options have an exercise price of $10.00 per share, expire 10 years from the date of grant, and are fully vested upon the effective date of the grant. The total number of options outstanding and exercisable for the Organizers as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 is 43,340 and 43,340, respectively.

17.	Deferred Compensation.

The Bank has adopted plans which provide deferred compensation to several of its key management executives. The plans are nonqualified and unfunded. In connection with the deferred compensation agreements, the Bank has purchased Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) and has entered into split-dollar agreements with the participants. Also, certain policies are owned by the participants and there are amounts due from participants for premiums paid by the Bank. Following is a summary of the plans at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the years then ended:

	2007		2006

Cash surrender value of life insurance (BOLI)		3,039,043		2,940,681
Due from participants		435,378		402,361
Deferred compensation payable		989,084		723,807
Deferred compensation expense		265,277		250,746

18.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (Statement 107), Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.

Interest bearing deposits in banks

The carrying amounts of interest bearing deposits approximate fair values.

F-63

18.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments. (Continued)

Investment securities

The carrying amounts for short-term investments approximate fair value because they mature in 90 days or less and do not present unanticipated credit concerns. The fair value of longer-term investments and mortgage-backed securities, except certain state and municipal securities, is estimated based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. The fair value of certain state and municipal securities is not readily available through market sources other than dealer quotations, so fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued. In all cases, the fair market values of securities available for sale presented in this report has been taken from the Company's 12/31/07 and 12/31/06 Securities Portfolio Summary, respectively. The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Loans

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories.

The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the Company's historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions.

Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals. If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific borrower information.

Deposit liabilities

Under Statement 107, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW, money market and checking accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Other borrowed funds

The fair values of the Company's other borrowed funds are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Securities sold under repurchase agreement

The carrying amounts of securities sold under repurchase agreements approximate fair value.

Accrued interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

F-64

18.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments. (Continued)

Limitations - Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.

The estimated fair values, and related carrying amounts, of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

	2007				2006
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
	Amount		Fair Value		Amount		Fair Value

19.	Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as secured borrowings, generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Bank may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities.

20.	Statutory Trust.

First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) formed First Louisiana Statutory Trust I (the Trust) in September 2006. The purpose of the Trust is (a) to issue and sell securities in its assets, (b) to invest the proceeds from such sale in debentures, (c) to issue common securities and capital securities, and (d) to engage in only those other activities incidental thereto. The Company issued mandatorily redeemable subordinated debentures in September 2006 to the Trust which mature December 15, 2036. The Trust sold 4,000 of its $1,000 par value floating rate capital securities (capital securities) in September 2006. These securities mature December 15, 2036 with interest due quarterly at 3-month LIBOR plus 1.8%; however, that rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by New York law as modified by United States law. If the capital securities are redeemed prior to September 15, 2010, a premium is paid ranging from 104.625% to 100.2%. The payments of these securities are guaranteed by the Company. Due to the extended maturity date of the capital securities, they are included in Tier I capital of the holding company for regulatory purposes, subject to certain limitations. Please refer to the Trust agreement for complete details of these transactions.

21.	Investment in Affiliate.

During 2004, the Bank acquired a membership interest in Community Financial Insurance Center, LLC, an insurance agency business, for $250,000. The Bank accounts for the investment in the insurance agency affiliate on the equity method of accounting and, therefore, records its proportionate share of the affiliate’s income/loss as operating income of the Bank. Equity in the earnings (loss) of the affiliate was $1,868 and ($5,707) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

22.	Merger Agreement.

On December 11, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc. (“First Louisiana”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (“Home Federal”) (OTCBB:HFBL) which provides for the merger of First Louisiana with and into Home Federal, with Home Federal surviving the merger (the “Merger”). The Agreement also provides for the subsequent merger of First Louisiana Bank, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of First Louisiana, with and into Home Federal Savings and Loan Association, (“Home Federal Savings”) a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Home Federal. The name of the surviving bank shall be First Louisiana Bank. In connection with the Merger, Home Federal’s current mutual holding company, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana (the “MHC”), which owns approximately 63.1% of Home Federal’s outstanding shares, will be merged into Home Federal in order to consummate the conversion of Home Federal to a full stock form organization, pursuant to a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the “Plan”). In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, shareholders of Home Federal other than the MHC will receive new shares of common stock of a new holding company pursuant to an “exchange ratio” designed to preserve their aggregate percentage ownership interest prior to the Merger.

Under the terms of the Agreement, First Louisiana’s shareholders will be entitled to receive either $28.00 in cash or 2.8 shares of common stock (assuming a $10.00 per share initial public offering price) of the newly formed holding company in exchange for each share of First Louisiana common stock. The Merger with First Louisiana is valued at approximately $23.7 million and is expected to close late in the second quarter of 2008.

First Louisiana and Home Federal have each made representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement including, among others, covenants governing the conduct of First Louisiana’s and Home Federal’s business pending the Merger, certain agreements as to the filing of all required regulatory applications and a registration statement to register the shares of Home Federal common stock to be issued in the Merger. First Louisiana and Home Federal have also made certain additional necessary covenants, including among others, covenants to cause First Louisiana’s and Home Federal’s shareholder meetings to be held to consider approval of the Merger; for First Louisiana’s and Home Federal’s respective boards of directors to, subject to certain exceptions, recommend adoption and approval by their respective shareholders of the Agreement; and for First Louisiana not to solicit proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions or, subject to certain exceptions, enter into discussions concerning or provide confidential information in connection with alternative business combination transactions.

22.	Merger Agreement. (Continued)

Following the Merger, the seven members of First Louisiana’s board of directors will join Home Federal’s board of directors and the five members of First Louisiana Bank’s board of directors will join Home Federal Savings’ board of directors.

The Agreement contains provisions that provide for the termination of the Agreement in certain circumstances. Such provisions may require First Louisiana to pay Home Federal $250,000, and if within 24 months after such termination First Louisiana enters into an agreement with respect to or consummates an acquisition proposal, First Louisiana must pay Home Federal an additional $450,000.

JOINT PROXY STATEMENT OF HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA (a federal corporation)

AND FIRST LOUISIANA BANCSHARES, INC.

_______________________

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, a recently formed Louisiana corporation, referred to as the new holding company or New Home Federal Bancorp, has been organized as part of the conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana from the mutual to the stock form of organization and concurrent offering of the new holding company's common stock. Upon completion of the conversion and offering, Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, a federal corporation, will no longer exist and new Home Federal Bancorp will succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the federal corporation. Immediately after the conversion and offering is completed, First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc., the holding company of First Louisiana Bank, will merge with and into the new holding company. The merger will not occur if we do not complete the conversion and offering or other customary conditions are not satisfied. Likewise, the conversion and offering will not be completed if the merger does not occur. Following the merger, the new holding company will change its name to "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc." We expect that our common stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "FLBI."

If you are currently a shareholder of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Bancorp is holding a special meeting of shareholders on _______, 2008. This document is the proxy statement that Home Federal Bancorp is using to solicit your vote at the special meeting and the prospectus of new Home Federal Bancorp for the stock that will be issued to you in the conversion and offering. Home Federal Bancorp is asking you to vote in favor of the following three proposals at the special meeting:

Approval of the Plan of Conversion and Reorganization;

Approval of the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies.

Home Federal Bancorp's board of directors has unanimously approved the plan of conversion and reorganization and the merger agreement, and recommends that you vote "FOR" each proposal.

As part of the conversion, your shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp will be exchanged for between 0.6369 and 0.8617 shares of New Home Federal Bancorp, which may be increased to 0.9909 shares in the event the offering closes at the maximum, as adjusted. The new holding company will issue cash in lieu of any fractional shares. The actual exchange ratio will ensure that immediately after the exchange of existing shares of Home Federal Bancorp for new shares but before the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares is completed, the public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will own approximately the same aggregate percentage of shares of common stock of the new holding company that they owned immediately prior to the conversion, excluding any shares they purchased in the offering and excluding any shares issued in connection with the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares. The actual exchange ratio cannot be calculated, however, until the conversion and offering are completed.

By their approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization as set forth in Proposal 1, the board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp has approved the informational proposals described in this joint proxy statement prospectus relating to the new holding company's articles of incorporation. Home Federal Bancorp's shareholders are not being asked to approve these informational proposals at the special meeting.

In the merger, for each of your shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock you may elect to receive either (a) $28.00 in cash, without interest or (b) 2.8 shares of common stock of New Home Federal Bancorp, subject to proration if either the cash election or the stock election is oversubscribed.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE CONVERSION AND OFFERING

For Shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc.

You should read this document and the plan of conversion and reorganization for more information about the conversion and offering. The plan of conversion and reorganization has been conditionally approved by our regulators.

Q.	What are shareholders being asked to approve?

Home Federal Bancorp shareholders as of ________, 2008 are asked to vote on the plan of conversion and reorganization as well as the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares and, if necessary, a proposal to adjourn the special meeting. See "Questions and Answers About the Merger" beginning on page __ for information regarding the merger. Under the plan of conversion and reorganization, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company will convert from the mutual holding company form to a stock holding company, and as part of such conversion, a new company, Home Federal Bancorp will offer for sale, in the form of shares of its common stock, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company's 63.1% ownership interest in Home Federal Bancorp (this percentage does not take into account the affect on such percentage of the shares issued in connection with the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares). In addition to the shares of common stock to be issued to those who purchase shares in the stock offering, public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp as of the completion of the conversion and offering, will receive shares of New Home Federal Bancorp common stock in exchange for their existing shares. In addition, informational proposals relating to New Home Federal Bancorp's articles of incorporation are also described in this joint proxy statement prospectus, but, due to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, are not subject to a vote of the Home Federal Bancorp's shareholders. Home Federal Bancorp's shareholders are not being asked to approve these informational proposals at the special meeting.

Q.	What is the conversion?

Home Federal Mutual Holding Company is converting from a mutual holding company structure to a fully-public ownership structure. Currently, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company owns 63.1% of Home Federal Bancorp's common stock. The remaining 36.9% of common stock is owned by public shareholders. The percentage originally held by public shareholders upon completion of our mutual holding company reorganization in January 2005 was 40%. Such percentage has been reduced by subsequent share repurchases conducted by Home Federal Bancorp. As a result of the conversion and offering, our newly formed company, also called Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana will become the parent of Home Federal Savings and Loan.

Shares of common stock of the new holding company, representing the current 63.1% ownership interest of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company in Home Federal Bancorp, are being offered for sale to eligible depositors, certain borrowers and to the public. At the completion of the conversion and offering, current public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp will exchange their shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock for shares of common stock of the new holding company which will be renamed "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc."

After the conversion and offering are completed, Home Federal Savings and Loan will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new holding company, and 100% of the common stock of the new holding company will be owned by public shareholders. As a result of the conversion and offering, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and the current Home Federal Bancorp will cease to exist.

See "The Conversion and Offering" beginning on page __ of this joint proxy statement prospectus, for more information about the conversion.

Q.	What will shareholders receive for their existing Home Federal Bancorp shares?

As more fully described in the section entitled "The Conversion and Offering," depending on the number of shares sold in the stock offering, each share of common stock that you own upon completion of the conversion and offering will be exchanged for between 0.6369 shares at the minimum and 0.8617 shares at the maximum of the offering range (cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares). For example, if you own 100 shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock and the exchange ratio is 0.6369, after the conversion you will receive 63 shares of the new holding company common stock and $6.90 in cash, the value of the fractional share, based on the $10.00 per share offering price. Shareholders who hold shares in street name at a brokerage firm will receive these funds in their brokerage account. Shareholders who have stock certificates will receive checks. The number of shares you receive will depend on the number of shares sold in the offering and will be based on an exchange ratio determined as of the closing of the conversion and offering. The actual number of shares you receive will depend upon the number of shares we sell, which in turn will depend upon the final appraised value of Home Federal Bancorp. The exchange ratio will adjust based on the number of shares sold in the offering. It will not depend on the market price of Home Federal Bancorp's common stock. However, since the exchange ratio is less than one-for-one, unless the offering range is increased, the market value per share of the shares of common stock of New Home Federal Bancorp received may be less that the per share market value of the existing Home Federal Bancorp common stock and the estimated pro forma stockholders' equity per share will be less.

Table of Contents

Q.	What are the reasons for the conversion and offering?

A.	We are pursuing the conversion and offering for the following reasons:

The additional funds resulting from the offering will first be used to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration to acquire First Louisiana Bancshares and second, will support continued growth and expansion of Home Federal Bancorp’s and Home Federal Savings and Loan’s operations as well as provide increased lending capability.

We believe that our current mutual holding company structure has limited our opportunities to acquire other institutions because we cannot now issue stock in an acquisition in an amount that would cause Home Federal Mutual Holding Company to own less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp. We expect that our conversion and offering will facilitate our ability to acquire other institutions in the future by eliminating this requirement of majority ownership by our mutual holding company. Currently, we have no plans, agreements or understandings regarding any merger or acquisition transactions other than the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares.

The conversion and offering, especially when combined with the shares to be issued in connection with First Louisiana Bancshares, will increase the number of outstanding shares held by public shareholders and we expect our stock to have greater liquidity.

In view of Home Federal Bancorp's current operations and capital level and due to the significant additional capital that will be raised by New Home Federal Bancorp in connection with the conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Bancorp believes that conducting the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares in connection with the conversion will result in an institution whose competitive position will be substantially improved upon conversion. We believe that the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares will significantly expand and diversify our loan portfolio, improve our lending platform, add depth and strength to management and result in an institution which will be better able to offer the increasingly sophisticated and broad array of services that are necessary to meet the convenience and needs of Home Federal Saving and Loan's (including First Louisiana Bank’s customers as a result of the merger) customers.

Q.	Why should I vote?

You are not required to vote, but your vote is very important. In order for us to implement the plan of conversion and reorganization, we must receive the affirmative vote of the holders of (1) two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock and (2) a majority of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, other than shares held by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company. In addition, the merger must be approved for us to proceed with the conversion and offering as currently structured.

Q.	What happens if I don't vote?

Your prompt vote is very important. Not voting will have the same effect as voting "Against" the plan of conversion and reorganization. Without sufficient favorable votes "for" the conversion, we will not proceed with the conversion and offering or the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. In addition, if the merger is not approved by shareholders, we cannot complete the conversion and offering as currently structured.

Q.	How do I vote?

A.	You should sign your proxy card and return it in the enclosed proxy reply envelope. Please vote promptly. Not voting has the same effect as voting "Against" the plan of conversion and reorganization.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF HOME FEDERAL BANCORP RECOMMENDS

THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF HOME FEDERAL BANCORP VOTE "FOR" THE PLAN OF CONVERSION AND REORGANIZATION

Table of Contents

Q.	If my shares are held in street name, will my broker automatically vote on my behalf?

No. Your broker will not be able to vote your shares without instructions from you. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares, using the directions that your broker provides to you. If you do not instruct your broker to vote your shares by proxy, each unvoted share will have the same effect as a vote against the plan of conversion and reorganization.

Q.	How will my existing Home Federal Bancorp shares be exchanged?

The exchange of your shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock into the right to receive shares of the new holding company common stock will occur automatically on the effective date of the conversion and offering, although you will need to return your stock certificate(s) if you hold shares in certificate form. As soon as practicable after the effective date of the conversion and offering, our exchange agent will send a transmittal form to you. The transmittal forms are expected to be mailed promptly after the effective date and will contain instructions on how to submit the stock certificate(s) representing existing shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock. No fractional shares of the new holding company common stock will be issued to you when the conversion and offering are completed. For each fractional share that would otherwise be issued to a shareholder who holds a certificate, you will be paid by check an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the fractional share interest to which you would otherwise be entitled by $10.00. If your shares are held in street name, you will automatically receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Q.	Should I submit my stock certificates now?

No. If you hold your certificate(s), instructions for exchanging the shares will be sent to you promptly after completion of the conversion and offering. If your shares are held in "street name," rather than in certificate form, the share exchange will occur automatically upon completion of the conversion and offering.

Further Questions?

For answers to other questions regarding the conversion and offering, please read this joint proxy statement prospectus. Questions about the conversion and offering or voting may be directed to the Stock Information Center by calling (___) ___-____, Monday – Friday, from 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Central time.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER

For Shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. and

First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc.

Q:	What am I being asked to vote on? What is the proposed transaction?

You are being asked to vote on the approval of a merger agreement that provides for the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares by new Home Federal Bancorp and, if necessary, the adjournment of the special meeting. The boards of directors of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares have determined that the proposed merger is in the best interests of Home Federal Bancorp shareholders and First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders, respectively, have unanimously approved the merger agreement and recommend that Home Federal Bancorp shareholders and First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders, respectively, vote "FOR" the approval of the merger agreement and for a proposal to adjourn the respective special meetings to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the respective special meetings to approve the merger agreement.

Table of Contents

Q:	Can I change my vote after I have delivered my proxy card?

A:	Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the special meeting. You can do this in one of three ways:

by submitting a written statement that you would like to revoke your proxy to the Corporate Secretary of Home Federal Bancorp, if you are a shareholder of Home Federal Bancorp, or the Secretary of First Louisiana Bancshares, if you are a shareholder of First Louisiana Bancshares, before the meeting;

by submitting a new proxy before the meeting; or

if you are a holder of record, by attending the meeting and voting in person.

Attendance at the meeting in and of itself will not revoke the proxy. If your shares are held in an account at a broker, you should contact your broker to change your vote.

Q:	What will First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders be entitled to receive in the merger?

Under the merger agreement, each share of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock will be exchanged for either 2.8 shares of the new holding company common stock or $28.00 in cash. First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders may elect either of these options and, if they desire, may elect to exchange some common stock for cash and some common stock for the new holding company common stock.

Elections will be limited by the requirement that the 60% of the shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock must be converted into the new holding company common stock in the merger with the remaining 40% being converted into the right to receive cash. Therefore, the form of consideration received will depend in part on the elections of other First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders.

The new holding company will not issue fractional shares in the merger. Instead, First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders will receive a cash payment, without interest, for the value of any fraction of a share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock that they would otherwise be entitled to receive. See "Home Federal Bancorp's Proposal 2 and First Louisiana Bancshares' Proposal 1 — Approval of the Merger Agreement" and "Description of new Home Federal Bancorp Capital Stock" in this joint proxy statement prospectus.

Q:	What will my dividends be after the merger?

Home Federal Bancorp currently pays quarterly cash dividends on its common stock. After the offering, the new holding company expects to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends at a rate substantially similar to its current rate, which is $.06 per share. The new holding company's determination as to whether it will continue to pay dividends will depend on a number of factors, including capital requirements, its operating results and financial condition, tax considerations, industry standards and economic conditions. Initially, the new holding company's ability to pay dividends will be limited to the net proceeds of the offering retained by the new holding company and earnings from the investment of such proceeds. Additionally, funds could be contributed from Home Federal Savings and Loan through dividends; however, the ability of Home Federal Savings and Loan to dividend funds to Home Federal Bancorp is subject to regulatory limitations described in more detail in "We Intend to Continue to Pay Quarterly Cash Dividends" in this joint proxy statement prospectus.

Q:	How do shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares elect to receive cash, stock or a combination of both for First Louisiana Bancshares stock?

A form for making an election will be sent to shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares separately no later than 15 days prior to the expected effective time of the merger. For your election to be effective, your properly completed election form, along with your First Louisiana Bancshares stock certificates or an appropriate guarantee of delivery, must be sent to and received by Registrar and Transfer Company, the exchange agent before the end of the election period. If you do not make a timely election you will be allocated Home Federal Bancorp common stock and/or cash depending on the elections made by other First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders.

Table of Contents

Q:	How do stockholders of First Louisiana Bancshares exchange their stock certificates?

If you make an election, you must return your First Louisiana Bancshares stock certificates or an appropriate guarantee of delivery with your election form. Shortly after completion of the merger, the new holding company's transfer agent will allocate cash and the new holding company's common stock among First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders, consistent with their elections and the allocation and proration procedures in the merger agreement. If you do not submit an election form, promptly after completion of the merger the new holding company's transfer agent will send you instructions on how and where to surrender your First Louisiana Bancshares stock certificates after the merger is completed. Please do not send your First Louisiana Bancshares stock certificates before you receive the election form.

Q:	What are the federal tax consequences of the merger?

If you are a shareholder of Home Federal Bancorp, you will not recognize any gain or loss in connection with the merger. The tax consequence of the merger to shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares will depend on whether you receive only cash, only new holding company common stock, or a combination of cash and new holding company common stock in exchange for your shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock. If you exchange your shares solely for new holding company common stock, you should not recognize gain or loss except with respect to the cash you receive instead of any fractional share of new holding company common stock. If you exchange your shares solely for cash, you should recognize gain or loss on the exchange. If you exchange your shares for a combination of new holding company common stock and cash, you should recognize capital gain, but not any loss, on the exchange. Because the allocations of cash and new holding company common stock that you receive will depend on the elections of other First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders, you will not know the actual tax consequences of the merger to you until the allocations are completed.

Q:	Are shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares entitled to appraisal rights?

Louisiana law provides shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares with objecting shareholders' rights of dissent in the merger, unless the merger is approved by at least 80% of the total shares eligible to vote. This means that you may be legally entitled to receive payment in cash of the fair value of your shares. To maintain your appraisal rights you must (i) deliver to First Louisiana Bancshares a written objection to the merger at or before the special meeting of First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders, (ii) not vote in favor of the merger, and (iii) within 20 days of the date that notice is mailed to such shareholder that the merger was approved by the required vote but less than 80% of the total voting power, make a written demand on First Louisiana Bancshares for payment for your stock, stating the number and class of shares for which you demand payment. Written objections should be addressed to First Louisiana Bancshares' Secretary and sent to 1350 East 70th Street, Shreveport, Louisiana 71105. Your failure to follow exactly the procedures specified under Louisiana law will result in the loss of your dissenters' rights. A copy of the section of the Louisiana Business Corporation Law pertaining to objecting shareholders' rights of dissent is provided as Appendix D to this document. See "Dissenters' Right of Appraisal" on page __ of this joint proxy statement prospectus.

Q:	If I plan to attend the special meeting in person, should I still return my proxy?

A:	Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, you should complete and return the enclosed proxy card.

Table of Contents

Q:	What do I need to do now to vote my shares of common stock?

After you have carefully read and considered the information contained in this joint proxy statement prospectus, please complete, sign, date and mail your proxy card in the enclosed return envelope as soon as possible. This will enable your shares to be represented at the special meeting. You may also vote in person at the special meeting. If you do not return a properly executed proxy card and do not vote at the special meeting, this will have the same effect as a vote against the merger agreement. If you sign, date and send in your proxy card, but you do not indicate how you want to vote, your proxy will be voted in favor of adoption of the merger agreement.

Q:	If my shares are held in "street name" by my broker, will my broker automatically vote my shares for me?

No. Your broker will not be able to vote your shares on the proposal to adopt the merger agreement unless you provide instructions on how to vote. Please instruct your broker how to vote your shares, following the directions that your broker provides. If you do not provide instructions to your broker on the proposal to approve the merger agreement, your shares will not be voted, and this will have the effect of voting against the merger agreement. Please check the voting form used by your broker to see if it offers telephone or Internet voting.

Q:	When is the merger expected to be completed?

We intend to complete the merger as soon as possible. In order to do so, the merger agreement must be approved by Home Federal Bancorp's shareholders and First Louisiana Bancshares' shareholders, respectively, and we must obtain the necessary regulatory approvals. Assuming holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock and at least two-thirds of the voting power of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock present vote in favor of the merger agreement and we obtain the other necessary approvals, we expect to complete the merger late in the second quarter of 2008. However, the merger cannot be completed, and you will not receive any shares of the new holding company or cash, unless and until the conversion and offering are completed. The offering is scheduled to terminate on __________, 2008. The offering may be extended until __________, 2008, unless the Office of Thrift Supervision approves a later date.

Q:	Is completion of the merger subject to any conditions besides shareholder approval?

Yes. The transaction must receive the required regulatory approvals, and there are other customary closing conditions that must be satisfied. To review the conditions of the merger in more detail, see "Home Federal Bancorp's Proposal 2 and First Louisiana Bancshares' Proposal 1—Approval of the Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completing the Merger" of this joint proxy statement prospectus.

SUMMARY

The following summary highlights the material information from this joint proxy statement prospectus and may not contain all the information that is important to you. You should read this entire document carefully, including the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "The Conversion and Offering" and the consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

What This Document Is About

The Boards of Directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan have adopted a plan of conversion and reorganization pursuant to which Home Federal Savings and Loan will reorganize from the mutual holding company structure to the stock form holding company structure. As part of the conversion, Home Federal Savings and Loan formed a new Louisiana holding company, also called Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana. Public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp will receive shares in the new holding company in exchange for their shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock based on an exchange ratio. This conversion to a stock holding company structure also includes the offering by the new holding company of shares of its common stock to eligible depositors and certain borrowers of Home Federal Savings and Loan in a subscription offering and, if necessary, to the public in a community offering and a syndicated community offering. Following the conversion and offering, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Bancorp will no longer exist and the new holding company will be the parent company of Home Federal Savings and Loan.

The Boards of Directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, Home Federal Savings and Loan and First Louisiana Bancshares have adopted an agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which the new holding company will acquire First Louisiana Bancshares. As a result of the merger, the shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares will receive 2.8 shares of the new holding company or $28.00 in cash for each share of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, subject to allocation and proration procedures whereby 60% of the shares of First Louisiana Bancshares will be exchanged for shares of the common stock of the new holding company with the reminder to be exchanged for cash. The completion of the merger and the conversion and offering are expected to occur on the same day.

The conversion and offering cannot be completed unless the shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp approve the plan of conversion and reorganization. In addition, the conversion and the offering cannot be completed unless the merger is completed. Home Federal Bancorp's shareholders will vote on the plan of conversion and reorganization at Home Federal Bancorp's special meeting. The plan of conversion and reorganization must be approved by the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp on the record date and the holders of two-thirds of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp other than those held by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company. The merger agreement must be approved by the holders of a two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock on the record date. Because Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and its directors and executives collectively in the aggregate own more than a two-thirds of the outstanding shares and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and each of the directors intends to vote all of the shares beneficially owned thereby in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement, the adoption of the merger agreement by the shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp is assured. The adoption of the merger agreement also requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power present in person or by proxy of First Louisiana Bancshares. As of ___________, 2008, the voting record date, directors of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares beneficially owned 125,013 shares and 230,800 shares, respectively, of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, or approximately 3.7% and 29.3%, respectively, of the outstanding shares, excluding shares that can be acquired upon the exercise of stock options. Each of the directors of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares have agreed to vote the shares they own, or are otherwise entitled to vote, in favor of adopting the merger agreement. This document is the joint proxy statement used by Home Federal Bancorp's Board of Directors and First Louisiana Bancshares' Board of Directors to solicit proxies for their respective special meetings. It also includes the prospectus of New Home Federal Bancorp regarding the shares of the new holding company common stock to be issued to the existing Home Federal Bancorp's shareholders in the share exchange and to First Louisiana Bancshares' shareholders in the merger. This document does not serve as the prospectus relating to the offering by the New Home Federal Bancorp of its shares of common stock in the subscription offering and any community offering or syndicated community offering, all of which will be made pursuant to a separate prospectus.

In addition, informational proposals relating to Home Federal Bancorp's articles of incorporation are also described in this joint proxy statement prospectus, but, due to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, are not subject to a vote of Home Federal Bancorp shareholders. Home Federal Bancorp shareholders are not being asked to approve these informational proposals at the special meeting.

The Companies

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (new). Home Federal Savings and Loan has formed a new Louisiana corporation called Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, which will be renamed "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc." following completion of the conversion and offering and the merger. The new corporation is conducting a stock offering in connection with the conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana from the mutual to the stock form of organization. The shares of common stock of new Home Federal Bancorp to be sold represent the 63.1% ownership interest in Home Federal Bancorp, the current mid-tier stock holding company, that is owned by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company. The remaining 36.9% ownership interest is owned by other shareholders, referred to herein as the "public shareholders," and will be exchanged for shares of the new holding company's common stock based on an exchange ratio of between 0.6369 to 0.8617. The exchange ratio may be increased to as much as 0.9909 in the event the maximum of the offering range is increased by 15%. The actual exchange ratio will be determined at the closing of the conversion and offering and will depend on the number of shares of the new holding company's common stock sold in the stock offering. The executive offices of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. are located at 624 Market Street, Shreveport, Louisiana 71101, and its telephone number is (318) 222-1145.

Home Federal Savings and Loan Association. Home Federal Savings and Loan Association is a federally chartered stock-form savings association originally organized in 1924. The association reorganized into the mutual holding company form in January 2005. Home Federal Savings and Loan's headquarters and main office are located in Shreveport, Louisiana and two additional full service branch offices are also located in Shreveport, Louisiana which serve the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area. Home Federal Savings and Loan's business primarily consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds to invest in securities and originate loans. Home Federal Savings and Loan's market area is Caddo Parish, Louisiana, which includes the city of Shreveport, and neighboring communities in Bossier Parish, Louisiana.

Following the conversion and offering and the merger, we expect to continue to grow Home Federal Savings and Loan's franchise through additional de novo branch offices and, if prudent opportunities are available, through acquisitions. We have no specific plans regarding expansion by de novo branching or acquisition other than the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares.

The First Louisiana Bancshares Merger

The merger agreement is attached to this document as Appendix A. We encourage you to read this agreement carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the merger of First Louisiana Bancshares into new Home Federal Bancorp.

What First Louisiana Bancshares Stockholders Will Receive in the Merger

In the merger, if you are a First Louisiana Bancshares stockholder you may elect to receive for each of your shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock either (a) $28.00 in cash, without interest, or (b) 2.8 shares of common stock of new Home Federal Bancorp, or if the offering price per share in Home Federal Mutual Holding Company's mutual to stock conversion is not $10.00, then such other number of shares as is equal to $28.00 divided by the offering price per share, subject to proration if either the cash election or the stock election is oversubscribed. Under the merger agreement, the number of shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock that will be converted into new Home Federal Bancorp common stock in the merger is fixed at 60% of the total First Louisiana Bancshares common shares outstanding immediately before completion of the merger. The remainder, or 40%, of the shares will be converted into the cash consideration. The cash and stock elections are subject to proration to preserve this requirement of 60% stock and 40% cash consideration. As a result, if you elect to receive only cash or stock, you may nevertheless receive a mix of cash and stock, depending on the cash elections and stock elections of other First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders.

See "The Conversion and Offering – Ownership of Home Federal Bancorp After the Conversion and Offering and the Merger" for the pro forma ownership percentage of First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders following the conversion and offering and the merger.

Any shares of the new holding company's common stock to be issued in the merger will be issued immediately following completion of the conversion and offering. The merger is contingent upon the completion of the conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company. Likewise, completion of the conversion and offering is contingent on completion of the merger.

First Louisiana Bancshares Stockholders Election of Cash or Stock Consideration

If you own First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, you will receive under separate cover an election form that you may use to indicate whether your preference is to receive cash or shares of the new holding company's common stock, or a combination of cash and stock. The election forms will be mailed to shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares on a date that will be no later than 15 days prior to the date the merger is completed. To make an election, a holder of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock must submit a properly completed election form and return it, together with all stock certificates, so that the form and certificates are actually received by the exchange agent at or before the election deadline in accordance with the instructions on the election form. First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders will be unable to sell their First Louisiana Bancshares stock from the time when the election is made until the merger is completed.

If First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders elect to receive more common stock than the new holding company has agreed to issue in the merger, then First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who elect to receive cash or who have made no election will receive cash for each share of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock. All First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders who elected to receive the new holding company common stock will receive a pro rata portion of the available new holding company shares plus cash for those shares not converted into the new holding company common stock.

Table of Contents

If First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders elect to receive more cash than the new holding company has agreed to pay in the merger, then First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who elect to receive stock or who have made no election will receive new holding company common stock. All First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who elected to receive cash will receive a pro rata portion of the available cash plus shares of common stock of those First Louisiana Bancshares shares not converted into cash.

Non-Electing Shares

First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who make no election to receive cash or the new holding company common stock in the merger, and First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who do not make a valid election, will be deemed not to have made an election. Shareholders not making an election may be paid in cash, new holding company common stock or a mix of cash and shares of new holding company common stock depending on, and after giving effect to, the number of valid cash elections and stock elections that have been made by other First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders.

No Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of new holding company common stock will be issued in the merger. Instead of fractional shares, First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders will receive an amount of cash based on the offering price of $10.00 per share in the conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company.

Shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp Do Not Have Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal

Under federal regulations, holders of shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock do not have the right to dissent and obtain an appraisal of the value of their shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock in connection with the merger.

Under Section 12:131 of the Louisiana Business Corporation Law, holders of shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock may have the right to obtain an appraisal of the value of their shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock in connection with the merger if the merger agreement is approved by two-thirds of the voting power present in person or by proxy at the special meeting, but less than 80% of the outstanding shares.

Failure to strictly comply with Section 12:131 of the Louisiana Business Corporation Law may result in termination or waiver of appraisal rights. See "Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal."

We have included a copy of Section 12:131 of the Louisiana Business Corporation Law as Appendix D to this document.

Conditions to the Merger

Conditions of the merger depends upon a number of conditions being satisfied or waived, including the following:

prior completion of the conversion and offering;

Table of Contents

receipt of approval of the merger by Home Federal Bancorp's and First Louisiana Bancshares' shareholders;

no statute, rule, regulation, injunction or other order or decree shall exist prohibiting, restricting or making illegal consummation of the merger;

all required third party consents have been obtained;

receipt of a tax opinion from counsel for both parties;

the registration statement having been declared effective by the SEC and the common stock of the holding company having been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market; and

receipt of all approvals of the merger required under state securities or "blue sky" laws.

We cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived or whether the merger will be completed. Under the merger agreement, the conditions related to shareholder approval, governmental and third party approvals, absence of legal prohibitions, effectiveness of the registration statement, blue sky approvals and completion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company's conversion may not be waived.

Home Federal Mutual Holding Company intends to vote its ownership interest in favor of the merger agreement. At December 31, 2007, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company owned 63.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp. As of the same date, the directors and executive officers of Home Federal Bancorp and their affiliates beneficially owned approximately 169,380 shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, or 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, excluding shares that can be acquired upon the exercise of stock options. The directors and executive officers have agreed to vote those shares in favor of the merger agreement. Approval of the merger agreement by the shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp is, therefore, assured.

As of December 31, 2007, directors and executive officers of First Louisiana Bancshares beneficially owned 230,800 shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, or approximately 29.3% of the outstanding shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, excluding shares that can be acquired upon the exercise of stock options. The directors and executive officers of First Louisiana Bancshares have agreed to vote shares they own, or otherwise are entitled to vote, in favor of adopting the merger agreement.

Termination of the Merger Agreement

Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares may terminate the merger agreement by mutual consent. Either Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares may terminate the merger agreement unilaterally if any of several conditions occur.

Table of Contents

Termination Fees

The merger agreement generally requires First Louisiana Bancshares to pay a termination fee of $250,000 to Home Federal Bancorp if the merger agreement is terminated because First Louisiana Bancshares changes its recommendation to vote for the merger or fails to convene and hold the special meeting or if First Louisiana Bancshares breaches its representations and obligations under the merger agreement following receipt by First Louisiana Bancshares of a competing acquisition proposal. If First Louisiana Bancshares enters into a definitive acquisition agreement with the new acquirer or consummates the alternative transaction within 24 months of termination of the merger agreement, an additional $450,000 termination fee is payable by First Louisiana Bancshares to Home Federal Bancorp. If First Louisiana Bancshares terminates the merger agreement to enter into a definitive acquisition agreement with another acquirer, the full $700,000 is due at such time.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger

We cannot complete the merger without the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Federal Reserve Board and the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions. Home Federal Bancorp is in the process of seeking these approvals or, in the case of the Federal Reserve Board, the waiver of such approval. While we do not know of any reason why Home Federal Bancorp would not be able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals in a timely manner, we cannot assure you that the regulatory agencies will grant their approval of the merger or what the timing may be.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares will not be required to complete the merger unless each receives an opinion of its respective counsel, dated the closing date of the merger, that the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes. In connection with the filing of the registration statement of which this document is a part, each of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares has received an opinion of its counsel that the merger will qualify as a reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, it is anticipated that for federal income tax purposes, shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares generally will not recognize any gain or loss with respect to their shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock if they receive only shares of new holding company common stock in the merger, except with respect to any cash received instead of a fractional share interest in new holding company common stock.

If you receive cash in exchange for any of your shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, you will generally recognize gain, but not in excess of the amount of cash you receive.

You should read "Home Federal Bancorp's Proposal 2 and First Louisiana Bancshares' Proposal 1 – Approval of the Merger Agreement – Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger" starting on page ___ for a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of the merger. Tax matters can be complicated and the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on your particular tax situation. You should consult your tax advisor to fully understand the tax consequences of the merger to you.

Differences in Shareholders' Rights for Existing Shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares

As a result of the merger, existing shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares who receive stock consideration will become shareholders of new Home Federal Bancorp. Some rights of shareholders of the New Louisiana corporation will be different from the rights shareholders currently have. The differences in shareholder rights result principally from differences in the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the new holding company and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of First Louisiana Bancshares. The differences in shareholder rights include the following areas:

removal of directors;

fixing of board size within range set forth in the articles of incorporation;

calling special meetings of shareholders;

Table of Contents

lead time required for shareholders to submit proposals for new business or nominate directors;

limitation on voting rights of greater-than-10% shareholders;

RISK FACTORS

In considering whether to approve the merger agreement and for stockholders of First Louisiana Bancshares, to receive Home Federal Bancorp common stock, you should consider, among other things, the following matters:

If the Home Federal Bancorp Conversion and Offering Is Not Completed, We Will Terminate the Merger; We Will Also Terminate the Conversion and Offering If the Merger Is Not Completed.

We anticipate that the Home Federal Bancorp conversion and offering and the merger will both be completed late in the second calendar quarter of 2008. At this time, we are not aware of any circumstances that are likely to cause the conversion and offering or the merger not to occur. However, certain conditions to the merger have not yet been satisfied, [including receipt of all regulatory approvals], approval of the merger by Home Federal Bancorp shareholders and First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders and completion by Home Federal Bancorp of the offering. Completion of the conversion and offering is also subject to a number of conditions including the requirement that a minimum number of shares of the new holding company be sold. If the offering cannot be completed, the merger will not occur.

In addition, if the merger cannot be completed, we will terminate the conversion and offering.

Shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares May Receive a Form of Consideration Different From What They Elect

The consideration to be received by First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders in the merger is subject to the requirement that 60% of the shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock be exchanged for the new holding company common stock and 40% be exchanged for cash. The merger agreement contains proration and allocation procedures to achieve this desired result. If they elect all cash and more than 40% of all First Louisiana Bancshares common stock are cash election shares, then they will receive a portion of the merger consideration in the new holding company common stock. If shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares elect all stock and more than 60% of all First Louisiana Bancshares common stock are stock election shares, then they will receive a portion of the merger consideration in cash.

Certain Officers and Directors of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares Have Interests That Are Different From, or In Addition To, Interests of Shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp or Stockholders of First Louisiana Bancshares Generally

You should be aware that the directors and officers of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Home Federal Bancorp shareholders and First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders generally. These include: employment agreements that the Presidents of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares will enter into upon completion of the merger; the conversion of First Louisiana Bancshares stock options into options for the new holding company based on the exchange ratio; provisions in the merger agreement relating to indemnification of directors and officers and insurance for directors and officers of First Louisiana Bancshares for events occurring before the merger; the treatment of certain benefit plans maintained for the benefit of executive officers of First Louisiana Bank and the appointment of seven directors of First Louisiana Bancshares to the board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp and five directors to the board of directors of Home Federal Savings and Loan.

For a more detailed discussion of these interests, see "Home Federal Bancorp's Proposal 2 and First Louisiana Bancshares' Proposal 1—Approval of the Merger Agreement—Description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger" beginning on page ___.

Table of Contents

First Louisiana Bancshares Shareholders Will Have Less Influence as Shareholders of the New Holding Company than as a Shareholder of First Louisiana Bancshares

Shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares currently have the right to vote in the election of directors of First Louisiana Bancshares and on other matters affecting First Louisiana Bancshares. The merger will result in the transfer of control of First Louisiana Bancshares to the new holding company. Although shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares may become a shareholder of the new holding company as a result of the merger, the percentage ownership of the new holding company will be smaller than the percentage ownership of First Louisiana Bancshares. Because of this, shareholders will have less influence on the management and policies of the new holding company than they now have on the management and policies of First Louisiana Bancshares. The percentage of shares of common stock of the new holding company to be issued and outstanding after completion of the conversion and offering and the merger owned by former shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares ranges from 37.6% if the offering is completed at the minimum, as adjusted, of the range to 26.0% if the offering is completed at the maximum as adjusted.

The Market Value of New Home Federal Bancorp Common Stock Received in the Exchange May Be Less than the Market Value of Home Federal Bancorp Common Stock Exchanged.

The number of shares of new holding company common stock you receive will be based on an exchange ratio which will be determined as of the date of completion of the conversion and offering. The exchange ratio will be based on the percentage of Home Federal Bancorp common stock held by the public prior to the conversion and offering, the final independent appraisal of new holding company common stock prepared by Feldman Financial and the number of shares of common stock sold in the conversion and offering. The exchange ratio will ensure that existing public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will own approximately the same percentage of new holding company common stock after the conversion and offering as they owned of Home Federal Bancorp common stock immediately prior to completion of the conversion and offering, exclusive of the effect of their purchase of additional shares in the offering and the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The exchange ratio will not depend on the market price of Home Federal Bancorp common stock.

The exchange ratio ranges from a minimum of 0.6369 to a maximum of 0.8617 shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock for each share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock. Under certain circumstances, the pro forma market value may be adjusted upward to reflect changes in market conditions, and, at the adjusted maximum, the exchange ratio would be 0.9909 shares of New Home Federal Bancorp common stock for each share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock. Shares of New Home Federal Bancorp common stock issued in the share exchange will have an initial value of $10.00 per share. Depending on the exchange ratio and the market value of Home Federal Bancorp common stock at the time of the exchange, the initial market value of the New Home Federal Bancorp common stock that existing Home Federal Bancorp shareholders receive in the share exchange could be less than the market value of the Home Federal Bancorp common stock that such person currently own. If the conversion and offering is completed at the minimum of the offering range, each share of Home Federal Bancorp would be converted into 0.6369 shares of New Home Federal Bancorp common stock with an initial value of $6.37 based on the $10.00 offering price in the conversion and offering. This compares to the closing sale price of $ per share price for Home Federal Bancorp common stock on May , 2008, as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board. The decline in the initial value of the New Home Federal Bancorp common stock received in exchange for Home Federal Bancorp common stock could be even greater if the market price for Home Federal Bancorp common stock increases prior to the completion of the conversion and offering. In addition, as discussed in “-Effect on Shareholders’ Equity per Share of the Shares Exchanged”, pro forma stockholders equity following the conversion and offering and the merger will range between $16.27 and $14.39 at the minimum and the maximum of the offering range, respectively. Since the exchange ratio is less than one for one, the estimated pro forma stockholders’ equity per share that existing Home Federal Bancorp shareholders have after the conversion and offering and the merger would range from $10.36 to $12.40.

submitting written notice of revocation to the secretary of Home Federal Bancorp;

completing and submitting a proxy card with a later date; or

voting in person at the special meeting.

However, simply attending the special meeting without voting will not, by itself, revoke an earlier proxy.

Table of Contents

All shares represented by valid proxies, and not revoked, will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. IF YOU SIGN AND RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD, BUT MAKE NO SPECIFICATION ON THE CARD AS TO HOW YOU WANT YOUR SHARES VOTED, YOUR PROXY WILL BE VOTED AS RECOMMENDED BY THE HOME FEDERAL BANCORP BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Home Federal Bancorp board of directors is presently unaware of any other matter that may be presented for action at the special meeting of shareholders. If any other matter does properly come before the special meeting, the board of directors intends that shares represented by properly submitted proxies will be voted by and at the discretion of the persons named as proxies on the proxy card.

Record Date and Voting Rights

The close of business on _________, 2008 has been fixed as the record date for determining the Home Federal Bancorp shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting. On the record date, there were 3,383,287 shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock outstanding, 2,135,375 of which are held by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company.

You may vote your shares at the special meeting in person or by proxy.

To vote by proxy, you must complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card. If you properly complete your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote, your "proxy" (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign the proxy card but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares "FOR" the proposals identified in the Home Federal Bancorp Notice of Special Meeting.

If any other matter is presented, your proxy will vote the shares represented by all properly executed proxies on such matters as a majority of the board of directors determines. As of the date of this proxy statement, we know of no other matters that may be presented at the special meeting, other than that listed in the Notice of Special Meeting.

Quorum Requirements

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares that are present, or represented, and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the special meeting. Broker non-votes will not be counted as a vote cast or entitled to vote on any matter presented at the special meeting. Abstentions will not be counted in determining the number of votes cast in connection with any matter presented at the special meeting.

Vote Required

Proposal 1: Approval of the Plan of Conversion and Reorganization. Approval of the plan of conversion by the shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp requires the affirmative vote of:

the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock outstanding on the record date; and

the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock other than Home Federal Mutual Holding Company outstanding on the record date.

Informational Proposals 1A – 1C: Related to Certain Provisions in Home Federal Bancorp's Articles of Incorporation. The provisions of Home Federal Bancorp's articles of incorporation which are summarized as informational proposals 1A through 1C were approved as part of the process in which the board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp approved the plan of conversion and reorganization. These proposals are informational in nature only, because the Office of Thrift Supervision's regulations governing mutual-to-stock conversions do not provide for votes on matters other than the plan of conversion and reorganization. Home Federal Bancorp's shareholders are not being asked to approve these informational proposals at the special meeting.

Table of Contents

Proposal 2: Approval of the Merger Agreement. Adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock outstanding on the record date.

Proposal 3: Approval of Proposal to Adjourn the Special Meeting. Approval of the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock present by person or proxy.

Home Federal Mutual Holding Company intends to vote its ownership interest in favor of the plan of conversion and reorganization, the merger agreement and the proposal to adjourn the special meeting. At December 31, 2007, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company owned 63.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp. As of the same date, the directors and executive officers of Home Federal Bancorp and their affiliates owned approximately 125,013 shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, or 3.7% of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, excluding 44,367 shares that can be acquired upon the exercise of stock options. The directors of Home Federal Bancorp have agreed to vote their shares "FOR" the approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization and adoption of the merger agreement. Because Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, combined with shares owned by directors, owns more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp and it and the directors intend to vote their shares in favor of adoption of the merger agreement, the adoption of the merger agreement by shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp is assured.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of votes against the plan of conversion and reorganization and the merger agreement.

Solicitation of Proxies

This joint proxy statement prospectus and the accompanying proxy card are being furnished to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Home Federal Bancorp special meeting by the Board of Directors. Home Federal Bancorp will pay the costs of soliciting proxies from its shareholders. To the extent necessary to permit approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization, the merger agreement and the other proposals being considered, directors, officers or employees of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan may solicit proxies by mail, telephone and other forms of communication. We will reimburse such persons for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such solicitation.

We have retained _______________ to solicit proxies in connection with the special meeting of shareholders with respect to approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization and merger agreement as set forth in Proposal 1 and Proposal 2. We have agreed to pay _____________ a base fee of $______ plus out of pocket expenses. The aggregate fee will vary considerably based on the number and length of telephone solicitations made. We have also agreed to reimburse ____________ for its expenses for such solicitation services. We will also reimburse banks, brokers, nominees and other fiduciaries for the expenses they incur in forwarding the proxy materials to you.

The Board of Directors recommends that you promptly sign, date and mark the enclosed proxy card in favor of the adoption of the plan of conversion and reorganization and merger agreement and promptly return it in the enclosed self-addressed, postage-prepaid proxy reply envelope. Returning the proxy card will not prevent you from voting in person at the special meeting.

Your prompt vote is very important. Failure to vote will have the same effect as voting against the plan of conversion and reorganization and merger agreement.

Recommendation of the Home Federal Bancorp Board of Directors

Home Federal Bancorp's board of directors has unanimously approved each of the proposals and the transactions contemplated by the proposals. The board of directors believes that the proposals are fair to Home Federal Bancorp shareholders and are in the best interest of Home Federal Bancorp and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" approval of each of the proposals.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP'S PROPOSAL 1 – APPROVAL OF THE

PLAN OF CONVERSION AND REORGANIZATION

The Boards of Directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan have approved the plan of conversion and reorganization. The plan of conversion and reorganization also has been approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision, subject to approval by the members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and the shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp entitled to vote on the matter. Office of Thrift Supervision approval does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of the plan of conversion and reorganization.

General

The Boards of Directors of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan unanimously adopted the plan of conversion and reorganization effective December 11, 2007, as amended April 21, 2008. The plan of conversion and reorganization has been approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision, subject to, among other things, approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization by the members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and the shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp. The special meeting of shareholders has been called for this purpose on ________, 2008. In order for the conversion and offering to be completed, we also must receive approval of application filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision under the Bank Merger Act for the mergers of our interim savings association.

The conversion to a stock holding company structure also includes the offering by New Home Federal Bancorp of its outstanding shares to qualifying depositors and certain borrowers of Home Federal Savings and Loan in a subscription offering and to certain other persons in a community offering and/or syndicated community offering. The conversion and offering will be effected as described under "The Conversion and Offering." The plan of conversion and reorganization has been included as an exhibit to the registration statement filed with the SEC. See "Where You Can Find Additional Information" in this joint proxy statement prospectus.

Purposes of the Conversion and Offering

The conversion and offering also will result in an increase in the number of shares of common stock held by public shareholders, as compared to the current number of outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, which will facilitate development of a more active and liquid trading market for our common stock. See "Market for Home Federal Bancorp's Common Stock" on page __.

The Boards of Directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan believe that it is in the best interests of such companies and their respective members and shareholders to continue to implement our strategic business plan, and that the most feasible way to do so is through the conversion and offering.

Effect of the Conversion and Offering on Public Shareholders

Effect on Outstanding Shares of Home Federal Bancorp. Federal regulations provide that in a conversion of a mutual holding company to stock form, the public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp will be entitled to exchange their shares of common stock for common stock of the converted holding company, provided that the association and the mutual holding company demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Office of Thrift Supervision that the basis for the exchange is fair and reasonable. Each publicly held share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will, on the date of completion of the conversion and offering, be automatically converted into and become the right to receive a number of shares of common stock of the new holding company determined pursuant to the exchange ratio. We refer to these shares as the "exchange shares." The public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will own the same percentage of common stock in the new holding company after the conversion and offering (but before giving effect to the shares of new holding company common stock issued in the merger) as they hold in Home Federal Bancorp subject to additional purchases, or the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The total number of shares of the new holding company held by the former public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp common stock after the conversion and offering will also be affected by any purchases by these persons in the offering. However, since the exchange ratio is less than one-for-one, unless the offering range is increased, the market value per share of the shares of New Home Federal Bancorp received may be less than the per share market value of the existing Home Federal Bancorp common stock and the estimated pro forma effective stockholders' equity will be less. For more information on the effect of the conversion and on public shareholders, see "Conversion and Offering – Effect of the Conversion and Offering on Public Shareholders" beginning on page __ in this joint proxy statement prospectus.

Table of Contents

Dissenters' and Appraisal Rights

The public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will not have dissenters' rights or appraisal rights in connection with the exchange of publicly held shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock as part of the conversion and offering.

Exchange of Shares

The conversion of your shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock into the right to receive shares of the new holding company's common stock will occur automatically on the effective date of the conversion and offering, although you will need to exchange your stock certificate(s) if you hold shares in certificate form. As soon as practicable after the effective date of the conversion and offering, our exchange agent will send a transmittal form to you. The transmittal forms are expected to be mailed promptly after the effective date and will contain instructions on how to submit the stock certificate(s) representing existing shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock.

No fractional shares of the new holding company's common stock will be issued to you when the conversion and offering are completed. For each fractional share that would otherwise be issued to a shareholder who holds a certificate, you will receive a check in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the fractional share interest to which you would otherwise be entitled by $10.00. If your shares are held in street name, you will automatically receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. For more information regarding the exchange of your shares see "The Conversion and Offering – Delivery and Exchange of Certificates – Exchange Shares."

Conditions to the Conversion and Offering

Consummation of the conversion and offering are subject to the receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals, including various approvals of the Office of Thrift Supervision. No assurance can be given that all regulatory approvals will be received. Receipt of such approvals from the Office of Thrift Supervision will not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the plan of conversion and reorganization or the offering by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Consummation of the conversion and offering also is subject to approval by the shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp at the special meeting of shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp and by the members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company at a special meeting of members to be held the same day as the special meeting of shareholders. Completion of the conversion and offering requires completion of the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. Consequently, failure to complete the merger will result in the termination of the conversion and offering.

Effect on Existing Stock Benefit Plans

Under the plan of conversion and reorganization, the existing stock benefit plans of Home Federal Bancorp will become stock benefit plans of the new holding company and shares of the new holding company's common stock will be issued, or reserved for issuance, pursuant to such benefit plans and not shares of the current Home Federal Bancorp common stock. Upon consummation of the conversion, the common stock currently reserved for or held by these benefit plans will be converted into options or the new holding company's common stock based upon the exchange ratio.

Table of Contents

New Stock Benefit Plans

In connection with the conversion and offering, Home Federal Bancorp will fund the employee stock ownership plan with additional shares of the new holding company's common stock equal to 4.0% of the common stock sold in the offering. In addition, the new holding company intends to adopt a new stock option plan and new stock recognition and retention plan for which we intend to reserve 7.68% of the shares sold in the offering and fund with 3.07% of the shares sold in the offering, respectively. For additional information regarding the new stock benefit plans see "Management – New Stock Benefit Plans."

Amendment or Termination of the Plan of Conversion and Reorganization

All interpretations of the plan of conversion and reorganization by the Board of Directors will be final, subject to the authority of the Office of Thrift Supervision. The plan of conversion and reorganization provides that, if deemed necessary or desirable by the Board of Directors, the plan of conversion and reorganization may be substantively amended by a majority vote of the Board of Directors as a result of comments from regulatory authorities or otherwise, at any time prior to the submission of proxy materials to the shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp and members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company. Amendment of the plan of conversion and reorganization thereafter requires a majority vote of the Board of Directors, with the concurrence of the Office of Thrift Supervision. The plan of conversion and reorganization may be terminated by a majority vote of the Board of Directors at any time prior to the earlier of approval of the plan by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the date of this special meeting and the special meeting of members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, and may be terminated at any time thereafter with the concurrence of the Office of Thrift Supervision. The plan of conversion and reorganization shall be terminated if the conversion is not completed within 24 months from the date on which the members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company approve the plan of conversion and reorganization, and may not be extended by us or the Office of Thrift Supervision.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP'S PROPOSAL 2 AND FIRST LOUISIANA BANCSHARES' PROPOSAL 1 – APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The following summary of the merger agreement is qualified by reference to the complete text of the merger agreement. A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Appendix A to this joint proxy statement prospectus and is incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement prospectus. You should read the merger agreement completely and carefully as it, rather than this description, is the legal document that governs the merger.

General

In connection with the approval of the merger agreement, on December 11, 2007, the boards of directors of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana unanimously adopted the plan of conversion, pursuant to which Home Federal Mutual Holding Company will be converted from the mutual to the stock form of organization. In connection with the conversion, Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, a new Louisiana corporation, will offer and sell the shares of common stock to be sold in the conversion. Immediately after the completion of the conversion, it is expected that First Louisiana Bancshares will merge with and into the new holding company with the new holding company being the survivor of the merger in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, operating under the name "First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc." It is expected that the conversion and offering and the merger will be completed on the same day. Immediately thereafter, First Louisiana Bank will merge with and into Home Federal Savings and Loan with Home Federal Savings and Loan being the survivor of the merger operating under the name "First Louisiana Bank." The merger is governed by the merger agreement, which was unanimously adopted by the respective boards of directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, the new holding company and First Louisiana Bancshares. The new holding company entered into an accession agreement in February 2008 under which it has adopted and become a party to the merger agreement between Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and First Louisiana Bancshares and as a result agreed to perform all its obligations and agreements set forth in the merger agreement as if it had been a party to the merger agreement as of December 11, 2007 and to be subject to the same obligations and/or limitations as Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding company are under the merger agreement.

Table of Contents

The merger will not occur unless the conversion is completed. In the event the conditions to the merger are not satisfied or waived, the offering will be terminated and the funds received in connection therewith returned to subscribers. The completion of the merger is expected to occur immediately after the completion of the conversion on the same day. The new holding company expects to issue approximately 1,324,720 shares of its common stock and approximately $8.8 million of cash to the holders of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock subject to increase up to approximately 1,472,525 shares and approximately $9.8 million of cash if all the outstanding options to purchase shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock are exercised prior to completion of the merger. Assuming the issuance of 1,324,720 shares in the merger, at the minimum, as adjusted, and the maximum, as adjusted, of the offering range, First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders would hold between 40.4% and 28.3%, respectively, of the total number of shares of the new holding company issued and outstanding after completion of the merger and the conversion.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, upon completion of the merger, each outstanding share of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, other than treasury shares, will be converted into the right to receive either $28.00 in cash or 2.8 shares of common stock (referred to as the merger exchange ratio) of New Home Federal Bancorp, the new Louisiana-chartered company, or a combination of cash and common stock, provided that 60% of the shares of First Louisiana Bancshares will be exchanged for shares of the new holding company. The merger exchange ratio was the result of arms length negotiations between Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and First Louisiana Bancshares. In negotiating the merger exchange ratio, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company considered a variety of matters including First Louisiana Bancshares’ franchise and market share First Louisiana Bancshares’ historical and projected results of operation and financial condition, an analysis of the performance of a number of financial institutions considered to be a representative peer group on a variety of financial measures, potential cost savings resulting from the merger and the terms of comparable merger transactions announced since January 1, 2007 involving commercial banks, both nationally and those specifically involving companies based in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas, in which the aggregate merger consideration was between $15.0 million and $100.0 million.

Background of the Merger

Since completing the reorganization into the mutual holding company structure in January 2005, Home Federal Bancorp’s board has contemplated the strategic direction that it wished to pursue and how best to leverage its substantial capital base. Ultimately, the board believed Home Federal Bancorp’s future lay in developing and expanding Home Federal Savings and Loan’s role as a locally-based community financial institution and in connection therewith, expanding its products and services to transform itself to being more like a community bank. Such strategy also considered Home Federal Bancorp’s desire to strengthen management depth and expertise in connection with implementing such strategy. As part of reviewing its strategic options, the board of Home Federal Bancorp periodically evaluated the possible opportunities to expand through merger and acquisition as an efficient way to implement its strategic goals.

Likewise, First Louisiana Bancshares’ board also periodically considered its strategic alternatives. The strategic alternatives considered by First Louisiana Bancshares’ board have included continuing its on-going operations as an independent institution and acquiring other depository institutions, branch offices or companies engaged in complimentary lines of business. In addition, First Louisiana Bancshares has explored other strategic business combinations with similarly sized or larger institutions. In particular, within the two years prior to engaging in discussions with Home Federal Bancorp, First Louisiana Bancshares engaged in various informal discussions with other institutions regarding potential strategic combinations. One of these discussions progressed to more formal negotiations and, in June 2006, First Louisiana Bancshares entered into a nonbinding letter of intent with a larger financial institution providing for the potential acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares. However, this letter of intent was later terminated by First Louisiana Bancshares following due diligence as a result of a reduction in the proposed merger consideration to be paid to the shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares. Although the board of directors has pursued the goal of increasing long-term stockholder value by remaining an independent financial institution focused on profitable growth, the board and management have also been acutely aware in recent years of changes in the financial services industry and the competitive challenges facing a financial institution such as First Louisiana Bancshares. These challenges have included increasing government regulation, increasing expense burdens and commitments for technology and training, an interest rate environment resulting in the compression of net interest margin, and increasing competition in the delivery of financial products and services combined with increasing customer expectations for sophisticated financial products and services.

Table of Contents

The management teams of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares have been familiar with each other for many years as a result of, among other things, their companies operating in the same geographic area and their participation in various industry-related professional organizations and community services initiatives.

Beginning in April 2007, Messrs. Daniel Herndon and Ron Boudreaux had very informal discussions with respect to the possibility of Home Federal Bancorp acquiring First Louisiana Bancshares due to the similar community banking philosophies and complementary strengths as well as the unique opportunity a combination of the two institutions would create. As a result of their initial informal discussions which indicated there was a basis for pursuing discussions, Home Federal Bancorp directed Sandler O’Neill & Partners to evaluate a potential acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares. Similarly, based on these initial discussions, First Louisiana Bancshares asked its financial advisor, National Capital Corporation to analyze a potential business combination with Home Federal Bancorp.

Negotiations on behalf of Home Federal Bancorp were conducted primarily by Daniel Herndon, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Bancorp’s counsel, Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P., and Sandler O’Neill & Partners. Home Federal Bancorp’s board of directors met periodically throughout the process to consider issues relating to the proposed acquisition. Negotiations on behalf of First Louisiana Bancshares were primarily conducted by Ron Boudreaux, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Louisiana Bancshares, First Louisiana Bancshares’ counsel, Hunton & Williams LLP, and National Capital Corporation, its financial advisor.

On May 16, 2007, Home Federal Bancorp’s Board met to discuss the proposed acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares and the likely terms under which the acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares would be undertaken. Sandler O'Neill presented at such meeting a preliminary analysis of the potential value of First Louisiana Bancshares. As a result of such board meeting, the board authorized Daniel Herndon, with the assistance of Home Federal Bancorp’s counsel and financial advisor, to open more formal negotiations of a proposed acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares. On May 31, 2007, Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares entered into confidentiality agreement pursuant to which each entity agreed to share certain non-public information in order to assist each of them in evaluating the proposed business combination.

During June 2007, representatives of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares had several meetings to discuss the proposed acquisition. During this period, the boards of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares had meetings to discuss the status of negotiations. In addition, during this period Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares conducted their respective due diligence examinations.

On June 21, 2007, Home Federal Bancorp submitted a non-binding indication of interest to First Louisiana Bancshares setting forth the primary terms under which Home Federal Bancorp was willing to undertake a merger with First Louisiana Bancshares. Initially, Home Federal Bancorp offered to pay $30.00 per share for each share of common stock of First Louisiana Bancshares, with the aggregate merger consideration to be a mixture of cash and stock of a new holding company established in connection with the conversion of the mutual holding company. As a result of further discussion and the due diligence review of First Louisiana Bancshares, Home Federal Bancorp offered to pay $28.00 per share for each share of First Louisiana Bancshares. The due diligence process included an analysis of the capital structures of each of First Louisiana Bancshares and First Louisiana Bank. Due to a capital contribution to First Louisiana Bank by First Louisiana Bancshares using a portion of the net proceeds of a trust preferred issuance, First Louisiana Bancshares' capital was less than originally believed by Home Federal Bancorp resulting in an adjustment to the proposed per share merger consideration. Home Federal Bancorp also proposed that the merger consideration be comprised of a mix of 60% in stock of the new holding company and 40% in cash. On July 24, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares’ board of directors held a meeting and was updated on the status of negotiations with Home Federal Bancorp. On the basis of the progress made to date in the negotiations, the boards of directors of both First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp authorized their respective representatives to finalize the principal terms of the proposed merger as soon as possible. Such negotiations were concluded in late July 2007.On July 24, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares’ board of directors held a meeting and was updated on the status of negotiations with Home Federal Bancorp.

Such negotiations were concluded in late July 2007.

On August 2, 2007, as required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, Home Federal Bancorp submitted a summary business plan to the Midwest Regional Office of the Office of Thrift Supervision reflecting the conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and the proposed acquisition in connection therewith of First Louisiana Bancshares. On August 29, 2007, Messrs. Herndon and Boudreaux met with representatives of the Office of Thrift Supervision to discuss the summary business plan and the proposed second step conversion and proposed acquisition. In mid-September 2007, the OTS notified Mr. Herndon that Home Federal Bancorp was authorized to proceed to prepare the required applications to obtain approval of conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and the concurrent acquisition of First Louisiana Bancshares and to negotiate a definitive merger agreement with First Louisiana Bancshares.

On October 1, 2007, Home Federal Bancorp’s counsel delivered a proposed merger agreement to First Louisiana Bancshares, its counsel and its financial advisors. Over the next six weeks, the parties negotiated the terms of the definitive merger agreement. On November 26, 2007, the merger agreement and all the related documents were distributed to Home Federal Bancorp’s and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company’s boards of directors. On November 28, 2007, the boards of directors of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company meet in joint session to review and consider the draft merger agreement and the related documents negotiated by the Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares management and their respective counsel and financial advisors. The Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company boards received presentations regarding the definitive merger proposal from their counsel, Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P., and from their financial advisor, Sandler O’Neil & Partners. Representatives of both Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P. and Sandler O’Neill & Partners responded to questions from the Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company boards. At the Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company board meeting, Sandler O’Neill & Partners delivered its oral opinion that the merger consideration was fair to Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company from a financial point of view. After careful and deliberate consideration of these presentations as well as of the interests of Home Federal Bancorp’s stockholders, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company’s members and Home Federal Savings and Loan’s customers, employees and the communities served by Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and the unique opportunity presented by the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares, the Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company boards unanimously approved the merger agreement and the related documents subject to the resolution by management of certain matters. Home Federal Bancorp’s and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company’s boards authorized management to finalize negotiations and execute the merger agreement and related documents as long as the final terms were consistent with and within the parameters set by the boards. Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company also approved the plan of conversion pursuant to which Home Federal Mutual Holding Company would convert from mutual to stock form. The boards also resolve to recommend the merger agreement be approved by Home Federal Bancorp’s stockholders and the plan of conversion be approved by Home Federal Bancorp’s stockholders and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company’s members.

On November 15, 2007, First Louisiana Bancshares’ board of directors met to review the draft merger agreement and related documents negotiated by the Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares managements and their respective counsel. After consideration of the interests of the First Louisiana Bancshares’ stockholders, customers, employees and the communities served by First Louisiana Bancshares, the First Louisiana Bancshares board unanimously approved the merger agreement and the related documents at this meeting. Before taking this action, the First Louisiana Bancshares board received presentations regarding the merger agreement and the related documents from First Louisiana Bancshares’ financial advisor National Capital. At the First Louisiana Bancshares board meeting, National Capital delivered its oral opinion that the merger consideration to be received from Home Federal Bancorp was fair to the shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares from a financial point of view (which opinion was subsequently confirmed by National Capital in writing).

Over the next few weeks, representatives of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancorp negotiated the remaining issues, none of which related to the amount or the form of merger consideration to be paid to First Louisiana Bancshares’ stockholders. On December 11, 2007, representatives of both Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares finalized the terms of the merger agreement and the related documents. Sandler O’Neill & Partners, Home Federal Bancorp’s and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company’s financial advisor, reaffirmed its oral opinion that the merger consideration was fair to Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company from a financial point of view (which opinion was subsequently confirmed in writing).

As a result, Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and First Louisiana Bancshares executed the merger agreement; the related voting agreements were signed by the directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and First Louisiana Bancshares; and the transaction was publicly announced after the close of business on December 11, 2007.

Home Federal’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Home Federal Bancorp’s Board of Directors

The board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp believe that the merger will enhance the competitive position of the combined entities and will enable the resulting institution to compete more effectively than either Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares could on its own. The combined entity will have greater financial resources and, as a result of the offering, increased capital levels. Home Federal Bancorp’s pro forma tangible stockholders’ equity will amount to 17.9% of pro forma total assets at December 31, 2007, assuming the shares of common stock are sold at the midpoint of the offering range. The conversion and the merger will result in increased funds being available for lending purposes and greater resources for expansion of our services. Home Federal Bancorp also believes that the merger provide it with the opportunity to combine management talent. As a result, we believe the merger with First Louisiana Bancshares, when combined with the conversion and offering, will better enable us to serve the convenience and needs of our customers and the communities in which we operate and will enhance our ability to compete effectively against the larger regional and super-regional financial institutions operating in our area.

Table of Contents

The terms of the merger agreement were the result of arm’s length negotiations between the representatives of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares. Among the factors considered by the board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp were:

the ability to expand Home Federal Bancorp’s presence in Caddo and Bossier Parishes by expanding its branch network by the addition of the four branch offices of First Louisiana Bank, including one branch office expected to be opened (and which did open) in April 2008;

information concerning the financial condition, results of operations, capital levels, asset quality and prospects of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares, including consideration of both companies’ historical and projected results of operation and financial condition and a review of First Louisiana Bancshares’ financial performance by comparison to a peer group;

a comparison of the terms of the merger to other commercial bank merger transactions both nationally and involving companies headquartered in the south-central region of the United States;

the belief by Home Federal Bancorp that the merger will be accretive to the combined entity’s earnings per share beginning in the year the merger is completed;

the anticipated short-term and long-term impact the conversion and the merger will have on Home Federal Bancorp’s consolidated results of operations, including the ability to diversify its lending activities by the ability to offer commercial real estate and commercial business lending as well as expanded banking products and services;

the general structure of the transaction and the perceived compatibility of the respective management teams and business philosophies of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares which Home Federal Bancorp’s board believed would make it easier to integrate the operations of the two companies;

the belief that the merger will enhance Home Federal Bancorp’s franchise value by the expansion of its branch network, among other things, and the enhancement of its ability to compete in relevant banking and non-banking markets;

current industry and economic conditions facing Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares, including an increasingly competitive environment facing both institutions characterized by intensifying competition from both non-financial institutions as well as other banks and savings institutions, the continuing consolidation of the financial services market and the increasing costs and complexities of compliance with the expanding regulatory requirements imposed on financial institutions as well as public reporting companies;

the assumed cost savings available to the combined entity as a result of the merger;

the anticipated impact of conversion and the merger on the depositors, borrowers, employees, customers and communities served by Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares through the contemplated expansion of commercial real estate and commercial business lending as well as the expansion of retail banking products and services;

the level of dilution to be experienced by the existing Home Federal Bancorp shareholders as well as the new shareholders who purchase shares of the new holding company in the conversion and offering as a result of the shares of new holding company common stock being issued to First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders;

the likely exchange ratio pursuant to which the existing shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp would exchange their shares, which ratio might be less than one-for-one; and

the risk that the conversion and offering and the merger might not be completed on a timely basis or not at all due to the various regulatory, shareholder and member approvals required.

Table of Contents

In making its determination, Home Federal Bancorp’s board of directors did not ascribe any relative or specific weights to the factors listed above which it considered. In addtion, individual members of the board may have given differing levels of importance to the various factors considered. The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by Home Federal Bancorp’s board is not intended to be exhaustive, but it does include the material factors considered by the board.

Home Federal Savings and Loan and First Louisiana Bank currently serve overlapping market areas in Caddo and Bossier Parishes in Northwest Louisiana. As a result of the merger, Home Federal Savings and Loan will operate seven full-service branch offices upon completion of the merger.

The estimated aggregate pre-tax cost of the merger and reorganization, assuming the offering is completed at the mid-point of the offering range, is $2.3 million. With respect to those estimated costs related to the conversion, estimated to be approximately $1.2 million, such costs will be netted against the proceeds of the conversion offering and will not affect Home Federal Bancorp’s results of operation for the period in which the conversion is completed. A portion of the estimated costs of the merger will be considered part of the purchase price and will be included in calculating the amount of goodwill resulting from completion of the merger. Such goodwill is an intangible asset, which is not subject to amortization but instead is subject to annual impairment testing. See “Pro Forma Data” in the prospectus and “-Accounting Treatment of the Merger.”

In light of the foregoing, the board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp believes that the conversion and the merger are in the best interest of Home Federal Bancorp's shareholders and Home Federal Savings and Loan’s customers.

The board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp unanimously recommends that Home Federal Bancorp shareholders vote “for” adoption of the merger agreement.

First Louisiana Bancshares’ Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of First Louisiana Bancshares’ Board of Directors

After careful consideration, the board of directors of First Louisiana Bancshares determined that the merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, First Louisiana Bancshares and its shareholders. Accordingly, the board unanimously adopted the merger agreement and unanimously recommends that the shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares vote “FOR” the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

In reaching its decision to recommend this merger to the shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares, the board concluded that First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp have a unique strategic fit and that the merger provides a distinctive opportunity for enhanced financial performance and shareholder value after considering, among other things, the opportunities for expense reduction and the plans for integration. First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp bring similar community banking philosophies and approaches, as well as complementary strengths, to the combined holding company. The board of directors of First Louisiana Bancshares believes that the expanded footprint of the combined holding company will enable it to better compete with the other bank holding companies having broader geographic coverage in the Shreveport-Bossier City market area and solidify its position as a major provider of financial services in the area.

The board of directors determined that the merger would place the combined holding company in an improved competitive position in the financial markets because it believes the merger combines two financially sound holding companies with complementary businesses and business strategies, thereby creating a stronger combined holding company with greater size, flexibility, breadth of services, efficiency, capital resources, profitability and potential for growth than either holding company possesses alone. The board believes that each holding company currently is well-managed, that each holding company will contribute complementary business strengths resulting in a well-diversified combined holding company, with a strong capitalization and diversification that will allow the combined holding company to take advantage of future opportunities for growth.

The terms of the merger agreement, including the merger exchange ratio, were the result of arms-length negotiations between the representatives of First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp. In concluding that the merger is in the best interests of First Louisiana Bancshares and fair to First Louisiana Bancshares and its shareholders, the board considered, among other things, the following factors that supported the decision to approve the merger:

Table of Contents

the board’s knowledge and analysis of the current and prospective industry and economic conditions facing the financial services industry generally, including continuing consolidation in the industry, increasing competition, and the increasing importance of operational scale and financial resources in maintaining efficiency, remaining competitive and capitalizing on technological developments;

the current and prospective environment in the banking market in which First Louisiana Bancshares and First Louisiana Bank operate;

a review of the strategic options available to First Louisiana Bancshares, including remaining as a stand-alone holding company, acquiring other depository institutions, branches or companies, and entering into other strategic business combinations with organizations engaged in complimentary lines of businesses, and the assessment by our board of directors that none of these options presented superior opportunities, or were likely to result in greater value for the shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares than the prospects to be realized by the merger;

the financial terms of the merger, including the amount of merger consideration and its relation to the book value and earnings per share of our common stock and recent trades of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, and in light of the community banking industry in general and the absence of an active trading market for First Louisiana Bancshares common stock;

the fairness opinion by National Capital Corporation to the First Louisiana Bancshares board of directors, representing an independent assessment of the financial terms of the transactions, stating that the merger consideration is fair to First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders, from a financial point of view;

the strategic business, operations, financial condition, asset quality, earnings and prospects of each of First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp;

the consistency of the merger with the business strategy of First Louisiana Bancshares, including improving customer attraction and retention and focusing on expense control;

the expected treatment of the merger as a "reorganization" which would permit stockholders of First Louisiana Bancshares to avoid recognizing either federal income tax gain or loss upon receipt of that portion of the merger consideration consisting of shares of common stock of the new holding company;

the board’s belief that management of First Louisiana Bancshares and that of Home Federal Bancorp share a common vision of commitment to their respective shareholders, employees, suppliers, creditors and customers;

the structure of the merger whereby each of First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp will have substantial input with respect to the control and future plans of the combined holding company, which would enable the combined company to leverage the best practices of each holding company;

the fact that the boards of directors of the combined holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan will have significant representation by First Louisiana Bancshares and First Louisiana Bank directors, respectively, and the chief executive officer of First Louisiana Bancshares will become the chief operating officer of the new holding company and the chief executive officer of Home Federal Savings and Loan.

Table of Contents

the provisions of the merger agreement designed to enhance the probability that the deal will be consummated;

the board’s review of the reports of management and outside advisors concerning the due diligence examination of operations, financial condition and prospects of Home Federal Bancorp;

the board’s expectation, after consulting with legal counsel, that the required regulatory approvals could be obtained;

the further effect of the merger on constituencies other than the shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares, including the customers and employees and the communities that are served by First Louisiana Bancshares and First Louisiana Bank;

the willingness of Home Federal Bancorp to honor First Louisiana Bancshares’ employee benefit plans;

the results of the due diligence review conducted on Home Federal Bancorp, including the likelihood of the transaction receiving the requisite regulatory approvals in a timely manner; and

the structure of the merger and the financial and other terms of the merger agreement, including the fact that 60% of the merger consideration consisted of stock that would allow First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders to continue to participate in the future growth prospects of the combined entities.

The board’s analysis concluded that First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp are a highly complementary fit because of Home Federal Bancorp’s geographic coverage, which would enhance First Louisiana Bancshares’ already growing presence in its market area, the complementary nature of the markets served and products offered by First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp and the expectation that the merger would provide economies of scale, expanded product offerings, expanded opportunities for cross-selling, long-term cost savings opportunities and enhanced opportunities for growth.

The board of directors also considered the following factors that potentially created risks if the board decided to approve the merger:

the possibility that the merger and the related integration process could result in the loss of key employees, in the disruption of on-going business or in the loss of customers;

the possibility that the anticipated benefits of merger may not be realized, including the expected long-term cost savings;

the anticipated effect of the merger on employee compensation, benefits and incentives under various employment-related agreements, plans and programs;

the fact that First Louisiana Bancshares could not enter into another merger agreement until July 31, 2008 if the merger was not completed before then, which may limit business combinations during this period;

the possibility that regulatory approval may not be obtained;

the termination fee of $700,000 to be paid by First Louisiana Bancshares to Home Federal Bancorp if the merger agreement was terminated under limited circumstances, which the board understood may limit First Louisiana Bancshares’ ability to pursue other acquisition proposals but was a condition to Home Federal Bancorp's willingness to enter into the merger agreement; and

Table of Contents

the uncertainty in the market price of the common stock of the new holding company due to the fact that the new holding company will be a newly formed corporation with no prior trading history.

The board of directors of First Louisiana Bancshares concluded that the anticipated benefits of combining with Home Federal Bancorp were likely to substantially outweigh the preceding risks. The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the board of directors of First Louisiana Bancshares is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these matters, the board of directors did not find it useful to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to these factors. In addition, individual members of the board of directors may have given different weights to different factors. The board collectively made its determination with respect to the merger based on the conclusion reached by its members, in light of the factors that each of them considered appropriate, that the merger is in the best interests of First Louisiana Bancshares and its shareholders.

The board of directors of First Louisiana Bancshares realized there can be no assurance about future results, including results expected or considered in the factors listed above, such as assumptions regarding anticipated cost savings and earnings accretion. However, the board concluded that the potential positive factors outweighed the potential risks of consummating the merger. It should be noted that this explanation of the board’s reasoning and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements,” beginning on page ___.

The board of directors of First Louisiana Bancshares unanimously recommends that the shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares vote “for” the adoption of the merger agreement.

Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares agreed under the terms of the merger agreement to promptly inform the other party of any facts applicable to it that would be likely to prevent or materially delay approval of the merger, the conversion or other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement by any regulatory authority or third party whose approval, non-objection or consent is required or which would otherwise prevent or materially delay completion of such transactions.

Required Approvals

Various approvals of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions and waiver of approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System are required in order to consummate the merger.

In addition, consummation of the merger is subject to the waiver by the Federal Reserve Board of the requirement to apply for approval of the new holding company to own First Louisiana Bank for a moment in time before its merger with and into Home Federal Savings and Loan. Submission for the waiver request has been filed and is currently pending. There can be no assurance that the requisite waiver will be received in a timely manner, in which event the completion of the conversion and the merger may be delayed beyond the expiration of the offering. In the event the conversion and the merger are not consummated on or before July 31, 2008, the merger agreement may be terminated by either Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company or First Louisiana Bancshares.

Under the merger agreement, Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares each agreed to take all action necessary to convene as soon as reasonably practicable a meeting of shareholders to consider and vote upon the approval of the merger agreement, and, with respect to Home Federal Bancorp, approval as well of the plan of conversion. In addition, the merger agreement requires Home Federal Bancorp’s and First Louisiana Bancshares’ board of directors to recommend that their respective shareholders approve the merger agreement at all times prior to and during the respective meetings of both Home Federal Bancorp’s and First Louisiana Bancshares’ shareholders at which the merger agreement is to be considered by them. However, nothing in the merger agreement prevents the First Louisiana Bancshares board of directors from withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying its recommendation if it determines, after consultation with its outside counsel, that such action is legally required in order for the directors of First Louisiana Bancshares to comply with their fiduciary duties to the First Louisiana Bancshares stockholders under applicable law, provided that any such action in connection with an “acquisition proposal” must comply with the requirements described under “-Acquisition Proposals” below.

Likewise, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company agreed to take all action necessary to call and convene a meeting of its members as soon as reasonably practicable to consider and vote upon the plan of conversion and the transactions contemplated under such plan. The merger agreement also requires Home Federal Mutual Holding Company’s board of directors to recommend that the Home Federal Mutual Holding Company members eligible to vote on the plan of conversion approve the plan of conversion and the transactions contemplated by such plan.

Shareholder Agreements

In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, each director of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares entered into a shareholder agreement with First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp, respectively, pursuant to which each director agreed that at any meeting of the shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares, as applicable, or in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares, as applicable, the director shall:

Table of Contents

appear at such meeting or otherwise cause all shares of Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares, as applicable, common stock owned by him to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

vote, or cause to be voted, in person or by proxy, or deliver a written consent, or cause a consent to be delivered, covering all shares of Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares, as applicable, common stock beneficially owned by him as to which he has, directly or indirectly, the right to direct the voting:

in favor of adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger;

against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares, as applicable, contained in the merger agreement or of the director contained in the stockholder agreement; and

against any acquisition proposal, as defined in the merger agreement with respect to First Louisiana Bancshares, or any other action, agreement or transaction that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to materially impede, interfere or be inconsistent with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect consummation of the merger or the stockholder agreement.

Pursuant to the shareholder agreement, each director also agreed not to, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposition of, any of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, as the case may be, owned by him prior to the meeting at which stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares, as applicable, will consider the merger agreement.

In addition, under the terms of such agreements entered into by the directors of Home Federal Bancorp, each director agreed that at the special meeting of members of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company to vote on the plan of conversion, each director would vote all votes conferred upon such director’s deposits and/or borrowings in favor of the approval of the plan of conversion and any other action requested by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company in furtherance of such approval.

The shareholder agreements will remain in effect until the earlier of the effective time of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms.

Acquisition Proposals

The merger agreement provides that neither First Louisiana Bancshares nor any of its subsidiaries shall, and that First Louisiana Bancshares shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and each of its subsidiary’s directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to an “acquisition proposal,” which is defined to mean any proposal or offer with respect to any of the following, other than the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement:

any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, or other similar transaction involving First Louisiana Bancshares or any of its subsidiaries;

any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of 20% or more of the consolidated assets, in a single transaction or series of transactions, of First Louisiana Bancshares or any of its subsidiaries;

Table of Contents

any tender offer or exchange offer for 20% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock of First Louisiana Bancshares or any of its subsidiaries or the filing of a registration statement in connection with such transaction; or

any public announcement of a proposal, plan or intention to do any of these things or any agreement to engage in any of these things.

In the merger agreement, First Louisiana Bancshares also agreed that neither it nor any of its subsidiaries shall, and that First Louisiana Bancshares shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and each of its subsidiary’s directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with, any person relating to an acquisition proposal, or otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an acquisition proposal. However, nothing in the merger agreement prevents First Louisiana Bancshares or its board of directors from:

complying with its disclosure obligations under federal or state law;

and if the special meeting of stockholders of First Louisiana Bancshares has not yet occurred, providing information in response to a request therefor by a person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written acquisition proposal if the First Louisiana Bancshares board of directors receives from the person so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement the terms of which are substantially similar to the confidentiality agreement that Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares entered into;

engaging in any negotiations or discussions with any person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written acquisition proposal; or

recommending such an acquisition proposal to the stockholders of First Louisiana Bancshares;

if and only to the extent that in each of the last three cases referred to above, (1) the First Louisiana Bancshares board of directors determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that such action would be required in order for its directors to comply with their respective fiduciary duties under applicable law and (2) the First Louisiana Bancshares board of directors determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisor that such acquisition proposal, if accepted, is reasonably likely to be consummated, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the person making the proposal, and would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to First Louisiana Bancshares’ stockholders from a financial point of view than the merger with Home Federal Bancorp. An acquisition proposal which is received and considered by First Louisiana Bancshares in compliance with these requirements is referred to as a “superior proposal.” First Louisiana Bancshares is required to notify Home Federal Bancorp immediately if any such inquiries, proposals or offers are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, First Louisiana Bancshares or any of its representatives.

In the event First Louisiana Bancshares does receive a superior proposal, First Louisiana Bancshares is required to notify Home Federal Bancorp in writing of its intent to terminate the merger agreement and to enter into an acquisition agreement with respect to or recommend acceptance of the superior proposal. Home Federal Bancorp shall have five business days to evaluate and respond to First Louisiana Bancshares’ notice. If Home Federal Bancorp notifies First Louisiana Bancshares prior to the expiration of the five day period that it will increase the value of the consideration to be paid in the merger to an amount at least equal to that of the superior proposal, then First Louisiana Bancshares cannot terminate the merger agreement to accept the superior proposal or recommend its stockholders accept the superior proposal. First Louisiana Bancshares shall have five business days to evaluate Home Federal Bancorp’s proposal to increase the value of the consideration. In the event the First Louisiana Bancshares board of directors determines in good faith, upon advice of its financial advisor and outside counsel, that the proposal by Home Federal Bancorp to increase the value of the merger consideration is not at least equal to the superior proposal, then First Louisiana Bancshares can terminate the merger agreement with Home Federal Bancorp or recommend that its stockholders accept the superior proposal. In the event the superior proposal involves consideration consisting of securities, in whole or in part, Home Federal Bancorp’s proposal shall be deemed to be at least equal to the superior proposal if the Home Federal Bancorp proposal offers consideration that equals or exceeds the consideration being offered to First Louisiana Bancshares’ stockholders by the superior proposal, valuing the securities being offered by the superior proposal at their cash equivalent based upon either (1) the average trading price of such securities for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the submission of Home Federal Bancorp’s proposal or (2) if the securities are not traded on a nationally recognized exchange or will be newly issued securities of a class not then trading on a nationally recognized exchange, by the written valuation of such securities by a nationally recognized banking firm.

Interests of First Louisiana Bancshares’ and First Louisiana Bank’s Directors, Officers and Employees and Certain Other Persons in the Conversion and the Merger

Boards of Directors. In connection with the consummation of the conversion and offering and the merger, the new holding company will also take all necessary action to increase the size of its board from the current nine members to 16 members and appoint all seven current directors of First Louisiana Bancshares to the new holding company’s board of directors. Messrs. Winkler, Meldrum and Simpson will be appointed to the class of directors whose term expires in 2008, Messrs. Rice and Roos will be appointed to the class whose term expires in 2009 and Messrs. Boudreaux and Israel will be appointed to the class whose term expires in 2010. In addition, Home Federal Savings and Loan will take all necessary steps to increase the size of its board from the current nine members to 14 members and appoint all five current directors of First Louisiana Bank to Home Federal Savings and Loan’s board. Messrs. Winkler and Meldrum will be appointed to the class of directors who term expires in 2008, Messrs. Israel and Roos will be appointed to the class whose term expires in 2009 and Mr. Boudreaux will be appointed to the class whose term expires in 2010. At the end of the initial term of each of the directors of the new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan, each of such directors will be nominated for an additional three-year term, subject to the fiduciary duties of the board of directors of the new holding company. The Executive Committee of both the boards of directors of the new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan subsequent to the completion of the merger will be composed of four directors, two of which, Messrs. Boudreaux and Winkler, are members of the boards of First Louisiana Bancshares and First Louisiana Bank. In addition, the board of directors of Home Federal Savings and Loan will appoint Mr. Boudreaux as the chairman of the Executive Committee. Mr. Winkler, who currently is Chairman of the Board of First Louisiana Bancshares, will be appointed Vice Chairman of the boards of both the new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan.

Executive Officers. In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, the boards of directors of both Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan approved three-year employment agreements with Messrs. Herndon and Boudreaux, to be effective upon completion of the conversion and the merger. The new holding company approved such employment agreements subsequent to its formation in December 2007. Under the terms of the employment agreements, Mr. Herndon will be employed as the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the new holding company and chairman of the board of Home Federal Savings and Loan while Mr. Boudreaux will be employed as the president and chief operating officer of the new holding company and president and chief executive officer of Home Federal Savings and Loan. Mr. Herndon currently serves as the president and chief executive officer of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan. Mr. Boudreaux currently serves as president and chief executive officer of First Louisiana Bancshares and First Louisiana Bank. Under the terms of the proposed employment agreements with Mr. Boudreaux and the new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan, Mr. Boudreaux waived any entitlement to payments or benefits under his existing employment agreement with First Louisiana Bank, which agreement will be terminated upon completion of the merger, except for the payment of $172,500 by First Louisiana Bank in connection with the termination of his existing employment agreement in connection with the completion of the merger . See “Management – Employment, Retirement and Severance Agreements” in the prospectus.

Existing Benefit Plans. First Louisiana Bancshares maintains two stock option plans: the 1999 Stock Option Plan and the Directors’ Stock Option Plan. As of _______, 2008, there were options outstanding in the aggregate under these two plans to purchase First Louisiana Bancshares common stock covering an aggregate of [87,979] shares. All of such shares are exercisable as of the date of this prospectus. If any of the options remain outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the conversion and the merger, they will be converted into options to purchase new holding company common stock, with the number of shares subject to the option and the exercise price per share to be adjusted based upon the merger exchange ratio so that the aggregate exercise price remains unchanged, and with the duration of the option remaining unchanged. The two plans will be frozen and no further options will be able to be granted under the plans subsequent to the completion of the merger. Under the terms of the merger agreement, no additional options were permitted to be granted after entering into the merger agreement on December 11, 2007. No changes to the terms of the option plans are contemplated. New Home Federal Bancorp has agreed to file a registration statement registering the shares to be issued under the two plans within 10 business days after completion of the merger.

First Louisiana Bank several years ago entered into deferred compensation agreements with two executive officers, Mr. Boudreaux and Ms. Hensley, which provide for specified payments upon termination of employment in various circumstances. In connection with the completion of the merger, such agreements will be terminated. The termination of the deferred compensation agreements will result in the termination of split dollar agreements between First Louisiana Bank and the two officers and the forgiveness of the officers’ obligations under the two split dollar agreements. In order to compensate the executives for their additional tax liabilities resulting from the forgiveness of obligations under the split dollar agreements, First Louisiana Bank has agreed to pay each of Mr. Boudreaux and Ms. Hensley a tax gross-up payment. The amount of such payments is estimated to be approximately $167,000 and $85,000 for Mr. Boudreaux and Ms. Hensley, respectively. The total cost to terminate the two deferred compensation agreements and related split dollar agreements is estimated to be approximately $468,000.

In addition, in connection with the execution of the merger agreement, First Louisiana Bank amended the supplemental executive retirement plan it maintains for the benefit of Messrs. Boudreaux and Glass and Ms. Hensley to exclude from the calculation of benefits any of the payments being made to Mr. Boudreaux as a result of the termination of Mr. Boudreaux’s employment agreement described above in connection with the completion of the merger and the tax gross up payments described above in connection with the termination of the deferred compensation agreements and the related split dollar agreements. The supplemental executive retirement plan was also amended to provide for the accelerated vesting of accrued benefits upon a change in control of First Louisiana Bancshares and in the event that the supplemental executive retirement plan is terminated within three years after the completion of the merger or a participant is terminated under certain circumstances or for good reason, as defined in the supplemental executive retirement plan.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, the new holding company has agreed to retain employees of First Louisiana Bancshares and its subsidiaries after the completion of the merger provided that the new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan will not have any obligation to continue the employment of such persons. The merger agreement provides that officers and employees of First Louisiana Bancshares and its subsidiaries who become employees of the new holding company or Home Federal Savings and Loan after the merger will be entitled to participate in the new holding company’s or Home Federal Savings and Loan’s employee benefit plans maintained generally for the benefit of employees. The new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan will treat employees of First Louisiana Bancshares and its subsidiaries who become employees of Home Federal Savings and Loan as new employees, but will amend their employee benefit plans to provide credit, for purposes of vesting and eligibility to participate, for service with First Louisiana Bancshares and its subsidiaries to the extent that such service was recognized for similar purposes under First Louisiana Bancshares’ plans. The new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan have agreed to honor all benefit obligations and contractual rights of current and former employees of First Louisiana Bancshares and First Louisiana Bank as well as all the employment, deferred compensation, plans or policies disclosed in the merger agreement that First Louisiana Bancshares and/or First Louisiana Bank have entered into with its officers. In addition, with respect to employees of First Louisiana Bancshares, First Louisiana Bank or Home Federal Savings and Loan who are terminated without cause within six months of the completion of the merger and who are not subject to individual severance or similar agreements, the new holding company and Home Federal Savings and Loan have agreed to provide cash severance payments to such persons in amounts as mutually agreed to by First Louisiana Bancshares and the new holding company.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees Against Claims. In the merger agreement, the new holding company agreed to indemnify First Louisiana Bancshares and its subsidiaries’ present and former directors, officers and employees with respect to any costs or expenses incurred in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceeding arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the effective date of the merger, provided that the notice and disclosure requirements under the merger agreement are satisfied after the completion of the merger to the fullest extent permitted under law and First Louisiana Bancshares’ or its subsidiaries’ articles of incorporation or bylaws. The new holding company also agreed to maintain, for a period of six years after the effective time of the merger, First Louisiana Bancshares’ and its subsidiaries’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies or purchase insurance policies providing coverage on substantially the same terms and conditions for the six year period, provided, however, that the new holding company is not required to expend on an annual basis more than 150% of the amount paid by First Louisiana Bancshares and its subsidiaries for such insurance as of the date of the merger agreement. Furthermore, if the new holding company is unable to maintain or obtain such insurance, it will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as much insurance as is possible within the maximum amount required to be expended by the new holding company.

Opinion of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana's Financial Advisor

By letter dated October 3, 2007, Home Federal Bancorp retained Sandler O'Neill to act as its financial advisor in connection with a possible business combination with First Louisiana Bancshares. Sandler O'Neill is a nationally recognized investment banking firm whose principal business specialty is financial institutions. In the ordinary course of its investment banking business, Sandler O’Neill is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions.

Sandler O'Neill acted as financial advisor to Home Federal Bancorp in connection with the proposed merger and participated in certain of the negotiations leading to the merger agreement. At the December 11, 2007, meeting at which Home Federal Bancorp’s board considered and approved the merger agreement, Sandler O’Neill delivered to the board its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of such date, the merger consideration was fair to Home Federal Bancorp from a financial point of view. The full text of Sandler O’Neill’s updated opinion is attached as Appendix B to this joint proxy statement prospectus. The opinion outlines the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Sandler O’Neill in rendering its opinion. The description of the opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the opinion. Home Federal Bancorp shareholders are urged to read the entire opinion carefully in connection with their consideration of the proposed merger.

Sandler O’Neill’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion was directed to the Home Federal Bancorp board and is directed only to the fairness of the merger consideration to Home Federal Bancorp shareholders from a financial point of view. It does not address the underlying business decision of Home Federal Bancorp to engage in the merger or any other aspect of the merger and is not a recommendation to any Home Federal Bancorp shareholder as to how such shareholder should vote at the special meeting with respect to the merger or any other matter.

In connection with rendering its opinion, Sandler O’Neill reviewed and considered, among other things:

(1)

the merger agreement;

(2)

certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Home Federal Bancorp that Sandler O'Neill deemed relevant;

(3)

certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of First Louisiana Bancshares that Sandler O'Neill deemed relevant;

(4)

certain operating and financial information as provided by the management of Home Federal Bancorp relating to Home Federal Bancorp, its business and prospects;

(5)

certain operating and financial information as provided by the management of First Louisiana Bancshares relating to First Louisiana Bancshares, its business and prospects;

(6)

the pro forma impact of the proposed conversion of Home Federal Mutual Holding Company from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of organization;

(7)

the pro forma financial impact of the merger on Home Federal Bancorp, based on assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments, cost savings and other synergies estimated by the senior management of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares;

Table of Contents

(8)

to the extent publicly available, the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the commercial banking industry;

(9)

the current market environment generally and the banking environment in particular; and

(10)

such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as Sandler O'Neill considered relevant.

Sandler O’Neill also discussed with certain members of senior management of Home Federal Bancorp the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Home Federal Bancorp and held similar discussions with certain members of senior management of First Louisiana Bancshares regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of First Louisiana Bancshares.

In performing its review, Sandler O’Neill has relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial information, estimates and other information that was available to it from public sources, that was provided to it by Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares or their respective representatives or that was otherwise reviewed by it and has assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering this opinion. Sandler O’Neill has further relied on the assurances of senior management of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading. It has not been asked to and has not undertaken an independent verification of any of such information and it does not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof.

With respect to the respective prospects reviewed with the respective managements of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares and the anticipated transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments, expected cost savings and other synergies reviewed with the management of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares and used by Sandler O’Neill in its analyses, Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares' managements confirmed to Sandler O’Neill that they reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of the respective management with Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares respectively. Sandler O’Neill did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares or any of their subsidiaries, or the collectibility of any such assets, nor has it been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Sandler O’Neill did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares nor has it reviewed any individual credit files relating to Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares. Sandler O’Neill has assumed, with Home Federal Bancorp's consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares are adequate to cover such losses and will be adequate on a pro forma basis for the combined entity.

Sandler O’Neill has also assumed that there has been no material change in Home Federal Bancorp’s or First Louisiana Bancshares' assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements it has reviewed. Sandler O’Neill has assumed in all respects material to its analysis that Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to its analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and all related agreements are true and correct, that each party to the agreements will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under the agreements, that the conditions precedent in the agreements are not waived and that the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Finally, with Home Federal Bancorp's consent, Sandler O’Neill has relied upon the advice Home Federal Bancorp has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Sandler O’Neill’s opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date hereof, and Sandler O’Neill’s opinion speaks only as of such date and not as of any other date. Sandler O’Neill has not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date hereof. Sandler O’Neill is expressing no opinion herein as to what the value of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock will be when issued to Home Federal Bancorp's shareholders pursuant to the merger agreement or the prices at which Home Federal Bancorp's and First Louisiana Bancshares' common stock may trade at any time.

In rendering its December 11, 2007, opinion, Sandler O'Neill performed a variety of financial analyses. The following is a summary of the material analyses performed by Sandler O'Neill, but is not a complete description of all the analyses underlying Sandler O'Neill's opinion. The summary includes information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, these tables must be read together with the accompanying text. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. The process, therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. Sandler O'Neill believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the factors and analyses considered without considering all factors and analyses, or attempting to ascribe relative weights to some or all such factors and analyses, could create an incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. Also, no company included in Sandler O’Neill’s comparative analyses described below is identical to Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares and no transaction is identical to the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of comparable companies or transactions involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the public trading values or merger transaction values, as the case may be, of Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares and the companies to which they are being compared.

In performing its analyses, Sandler O'Neill also made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and various other matters, many of which cannot be predicted and are beyond the control of Home Federal Bancorp, First Louisiana Bancshares and Sandler O'Neill. The analyses performed by Sandler O’Neill are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Sandler O’Neill prepared its analyses solely for purposes of rendering its opinion and provided such analyses to the Home Federal Bancorp board at the board’s December 11, 2007 meeting. Estimates on the values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their securities may actually be sold. Such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and actual values may be materially different. Accordingly, Sandler O’Neill’s analyses do not necessarily reflect the value of Home Federal Bancorp’s common stock or First Louisiana Bancshares' common stock or the prices at which Home Federal Bancorp’s or First Louisiana Bancshares' common stock may be sold at any time.

Summary of Proposal. Sandler O’Neill reviewed the financial terms of the proposed transaction. Each share of First Louisiana Bancshares will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder, thereof, $28.00 in cash or (ii) 2.80 shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock to be issued in conjunction with Home Federal Bancorp's impending mutual-to-stock conversion and assuming an initial offering price of $10.00 per share, 40% of the aggregate consideration will be paid in cash with the remaining 60% of the aggregate consideration being comprised of Home Federal Bancorp common stock.

Based upon financial information for Home Federal Bancorp for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007, Sandler O’Neill calculated the following ratios:

Transaction Ratios
Deal price/last twelve months earnings per share	25.7	x
Deal price/stated book value per share	201.0	%
Deal price/tangible book value per share	201.0	%
Tangible book premium/core deposits (1)	21.3	%

____________________

(1)

Core deposits excludes all deposits categorized as jumbo time deposits (greater than $100,000).

For purposes of Sandler O’Neill’s analyses, earnings per share were based on fully diluted earnings per share. The aggregate transaction value was approximately $23.7 million, based upon 788,524 shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock outstanding and including the intrinsic value of options to purchase an aggregate of 87,979 shares with a weighted average strike price of $10.00.

Sandler O'Neill used publicly available information to compare selected financial and market trading information for First Louisiana Bancshares and a peer group of publicly traded financial institutions headquartered in Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi with total assets between $50 million and $250 million selected by Sandler O’Neill. The First Louisiana Bancshares peer group consisted of the following financial institutions:

Analysis of Selected Merger Transactions. Sandler O’Neill reviewed 73 merger transactions announced nationwide from January 1, 2007 through December 11, 2007 involving commercial banks as acquired institutions with transaction values greater than $15 million and less than $100 million. Sandler O’Neill also reviewed 13 merger transactions announced during the same period involving commercial banks in the Southwest/Southeast Region (Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Texas) with transaction values greater than $15 million and less than $100 million. Sandler O'Neill reviewed the multiples of transaction price at announcement to last twelve months earnings per share, transaction price to book value per share, transaction price to tangible book value per share and tangible book premium to core deposits and computed high, low, mean and median multiples and premiums for the transactions. The median multiples were applied to Home Federal Bancorp's financial information as of and for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007. As illustrated in the following table, Sandler O’Neill derived an imputed range of values per share of First Louisiana Bancshares' common stock of $26.29 to $33.97 based upon the median multiples for nationwide commercial bank transactions and $21.94 to $39.12 based upon the median multiples for southeast/southwest region commercial bank transactions. The transaction value of the proposed merger is $28.00 per share.

Nationwide & Mid-Atlantic Region Transaction Multiples

Tangible book premium/core deposits		19.8	%		29.26		17.4	%		27.42

Net Present Value Analysis. Sandler O'Neill performed an analysis that estimated the present value of the projected future stream of after-tax net income of First Louisiana Bancshares through December 31, 2011 under various circumstances, assuming that First Louisiana Bancshares performed in accordance with the guidance generated by and reviewed with management. The analysis assumed no projected dividend payout ratio. To approximate the terminal value of Home Federal Bancorp common stock at December 31, 2011, Sandler O'Neill applied price to earnings multiples ranging from 12x to 20x and multiples of price to tangible book value ranging from 100% to 200%. The income streams and terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 13.0% to 17.0% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock. Sandler O’Neill also varied First Louisiana Bancshares forecasted net income using a range of 25% under forecast to 25% over forecast, and used a discount rate of 15.43% for this analysis. As illustrated in the following tables, this analysis indicated an imputed range of values of Home Federal Bancorp common stock of $13.81 to $26.68 per share when applying the price to earnings multiples, $11.64 to $26.98 when applying multiples of tangible book value and $10.97 to $30.47 when varying the projected net income forecast. The transaction value of the proposed merger is $28.00 per share.

Sandler O'Neill also performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of First Louisiana Bancshares' common stock under various circumstances and assuming pre-tax cost savings of $449,000 in 2008, $1.1 million in 2009 and 2010, and $1.2 million in 2011, and in each case based on Home Federal Bancorp's management’s guidance. In the analysis, Sandler O’Neill assumed First Louisiana Bancshares' performed in accordance with the 2007 net income projection provided by First Louisiana Bancshares management, as adjusted by Home Federal Bancorp's senior management. To approximate the terminal value of First Louisiana Bancshares' common stock at December 31, 2011, Sandler O'Neill applied price to last twelve months earnings multiples of 12.0x to 20.0x and multiples of tangible book value ranging from 100% to 200%. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 13.0% to 17.0% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of First Louisiana Bancshares' common stock. In addition, the net present value of First Louisiana Bancshares' common stock at September 30, 2007 was calculated using the same range of price to last twelve months earnings multiples (12.0x to 20.0x) applied to a range of discounts and premiums to budget projections. The range applied to the budgeted net income was 25% under budget to 25% over budget, using a discount rate of 15.43% for the analysis.

As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share for First Louisiana Bancshares' common stock of $20.10 to $38.84 when applying the price/earnings multiples to the matched budget, $13.47 to $31.24 when applying multiples of tangible book value to the matched budget, and $15.96 to $44.35 when applying the price/earnings multiples to the -25% / +25% budget range. The transaction value of the proposed merger is $28.00 per share.

Pro Forma Merger Analysis. Sandler O'Neill analyzed certain potential pro forma effects of the merger, assuming the following: (1) the merger and conversion closes in the second quarter of 2008, (2) All of First Louisiana Bancshares' shares are exchanged for newly issued shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock at $10.00 per share and cash (as described above under “Summary of Proposal”), (3) earnings per share projections for Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares are consistent with guidance as provided by and discussed with management of both companies for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and (4) purchase accounting adjustments, charges and transaction costs associated with the merger and cost savings determined by the senior managements of First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp. This analysis was performed assuming First Louisiana Bancshares' conversion was undertaken at the midpoint of its appraisal range. The results of the analyses illustrate the related accretion to earnings per share at December 31, 2008 (the first full year following completion of the merger) and dilution to tangible book value at June 30, 2008 (the assumed closing date of the merger). The following tables show the results of those analyses at the alternative conversion valuation levels:

First Louisiana Bancshares Valuation Level		Price / Pro Forma TBV		Shares Issued		Per Share Transaction Value		Est. 2008 EPS Accretion		6/30/08 TBV Dilution
Midpoint		95.2%		1,324,720		$28.00		185.3%		(25.2%)

The actual results achieved by the combined company may vary from projected results and the variations may be material.

Net Present Value Analysis. Sandler O'Neill also performed an analysis that estimated the present value of the projected future stream of after-tax net income of the combined entity (First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp) following the mutual-to-stock conversion through December 31, 2011 under various circumstances, assuming that Home Federal Bancorp performed in accordance with the earnings guidance reviewed with management. The analysis assumed a projected dividend payout ratio of $0.03 per share. To approximate the terminal value of Home Federal Bancorp common stock at December 31, 2011, Sandler O'Neill applied price to earnings multiples ranging from 12x to 20x and price to tangible book value ranging from 90% to 120%. The income streams and terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 13.0% to 17.0% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Home Federal Bancorp common stock. As illustrated in the following tables, this analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock of $5.86 to $10.41 when applying the price to earnings multiples and $6.36 to $10.04 when applying multiples of tangible book value. The conversion price of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock is assumed to be $10.00 per share.

In connection with its analyses, Sandler O'Neill considered and discussed with the Home Federal Bancorp board how the pro forma analyses would be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions, including variations with respect to the growth rate of earnings per share of each company and variations with respect to the appraisal value of Home Federal Bancorp in regards to the mutual to stock conversion. Sandler O’Neill noted that the actual results achieved by the combined company may vary from projected results and the variations may be material.

Home Federal Bancorp has agreed to pay Sandler O’Neill a transaction fee in connection with the merger of approximately $100,000 which is contingent, and payable, upon closing of the merger. Home Federal Bancorp has paid Sandler O’Neill $75,000 for rendering its opinion. Home Federal Bancorp has also agreed to reimburse certain of Sandler O’Neill’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement and to indemnify Sandler O'Neill and its affiliates and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, and controlling persons against certain expenses and liabilities, including liabilities under securities laws.

Sandler O’Neill is providing investment banking services to Home Federal Bancorp, and receive compensation for, such services in the future, including during the period prior to the closing of the Merger. In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer, Sandler O'Neill may purchase securities from and sell securities to Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares and their respective affiliates and may actively trade the debt and/or equity securities of Home Federal Bancorp and First Louisiana Bancshares and their respective affiliates for its own account and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. In addition, Sandler O’Neill is representing Home Federal Mutual Holding Company in its conversion from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of the organization. Sandler O'Neill also served in a similar capacity for Home Federal Bancorp in connection with the mutual holding company reorganization completed in January 2005 for which it received customary fees and reimbursement of customary out-of-pocket expenses.

Opinion of First Louisiana Bancshares' Financial Advisor

The board of directors of First Louisiana Bancshares believes that the merger proposal is fair to, and in the best interests of, the company and all of its shareholders, including unaffiliated shareholders, those who will receive cash in exchange for their shares and those who will remain shareholders following the merger.

First Louisiana Bancshares imposed no limitations upon National Capital with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed in connection with the valuation or in rendering the fairness opinion.

National Capital also took into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and its experience in similar transactions, as well as its experience in securities valuation and its knowledge of financial institutions, including banks, bank holding companies and finance companies generally. The opinion is based upon conditions as they existed, and could be evaluated, on the date of the opinion and upon information made available to National Capital through that date.

In rendering its appraisal and fairness opinion, National Capital relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information provided to it or publicly available, and did not attempt to independently verify the information. National Capital is not an expert in the independent verification of the adequacy of loan and lease losses and assumed, without independent verification, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses is adequate to cover the losses. National Capital did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of the properties of the company or the Bank, nor did it examine any individual loan credit files. National Capital relied upon the management of the company as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts provided to it and assumed that these forecasts reflected the best available estimates and judgments of management.

In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, National Capital considered the use of three broad categories of valuation methods: asset-based approaches, market-based approaches and income-based approaches. Each method examines the value of an entity from a slightly different perspective, and each method has its own strengths and weaknesses in general and in specific application. In most cases, the values determined by each method will differ as a result of the varying inputs and assumptions required under each approach. The analyses underlying the valuation must be considered in their entirety. The failure to consider all factors, analyses and methods underlying the whole of the fairness opinion could create an incomplete view of the analyses and processes underlying the fairness opinion.

Asset-based approaches. Asset-based approaches presume that the value of the entity is represented by the market value of the assets owned by the entity, less the market value of any liabilities. The net asset value method, an asset-based approach, assumes that the values of all assets are realized through the course of normal business operations while the liquidation method assumes that all assets are liquidated in an orderly fashion. The net asset value method derives a value by determining the market value of the individual balance sheet components. This method typically assumes liquidation of the entity’s property on the date of appraisal with recognition of securities gains or losses, real estate appreciation or depreciation and any adjustments to the loan loss reserve, discounts to the loan portfolio or changes in the net value of other assets. National Capital did not believe that the net asset value method was appropriate to use in this transaction because the company is a going concern and because the net asset value method is based on historical costs and varying accounting methods. Even if the assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect prevailing prices and yields (which is often of limited accuracy because readily available data is often lacking), the net asset value method results in a liquidation value for the company and does not take into account the values attributable to the going concern, such as the interrelationship among the company’s assets, liabilities, customer relations, market presence, image and reputation, and staff expertise and depth. Therefore, National Capital gave no weight to the net asset value method of valuation in determining the fairness of the transaction consideration.

Market-based approaches. In market-based approaches, financial characteristics and other information for publicly-traded companies and transactions on which public information is available are utilized as a basis for determining the value of the subject company. Market-based approaches work on the financial theory of substitution or economic indifference. That is, by obtaining financial information and other data regarding public companies or transactions on which public information is available, an appraiser may analyze the subject company and make appropriate adjustments to recognize differences between the subject company and comparable companies in order to make a determination as to value. National Capital performed two analyses using the market value method. These analyses use data from First Louisiana Bank as the primary source of comparative information but do include additional assets and liabilities of the company in the final determinations of value.

Comparable whole bank transaction analysis. In determining a range of values for the common stock of First Louisiana Bancshares and in rendering its fairness opinion, National Capital analyzed the consideration paid in selected financial institution merger transactions. The objective of National Capital’s analysis was to determine an appropriate value by analyzing data related to actual sales transactions of similar entities and making appropriate adjustments to recognize the differences between First Louisiana Bancshares and comparable bank or bank holding companies that have recently been sold.

National Capital identified a group of 35 comparable financial institution acquisitions involving selling institutions with total assets between $85 million and $150 million announced between July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2007. National Capital applied the average, trimmed average and median transaction multiples of certain financial indicators to the related financial statistics of First Louisiana Bank to derive an implied value. Terminated transactions, distressed institution sales and transactions where material data was unavailable were excluded from the analysis. The following table sets forth the average, trimmed average and median transaction multiples of selected financial indicators for the comparable financial institution acquisition group identified by National Capital.

	Average	Median	80% Trim Average
Tangible Book Value Multiple	2.36x	2.22x	2.33x
Earnings Multiple	23.36	20.96	22.35
Price to Deposits	24.49	23.61	24.16
Premium to Core Deposits	18.67	15.28	17.57

In its analysis, National Capital weighted the various financial indicators in the manner that it determined appropriate, in its professional judgment, in light of the characteristics of First Louisiana Bank and the comparable financial institution data set. By applying averages of key valuation indicators to the relevant financial statistics of First Louisiana Bank, and after consideration of all appropriate valuation adjustments described below, National Capital determined an implied per share fair market value of $23.43 under this method.

Comparable public company analysis. Share exchange analysis is another market-based approach that assumes that a rational, publicly-traded bank or bank holding company would be willing to acquire another bank or bank holding company in a stock transaction only if the transaction would be non- or minimally dilutive to the acquirer’s pro forma per share earnings.

National Capital analyzed the earnings performance of First Louisiana Bank in light of the earnings performances and market values of a publicly traded peer group selected by National Capital. The peer group consisted of publicly traded banks and bank holding companies in the United States. By applying the price to earnings, price to book, price to assets and price to deposit ratios of the comparable public company dataset, National Capital estimated the value of the Bank based on the number of shares an acquirer could issue in exchange for the shares of the Bank without diluting earnings per share. Using this formula, National Capital determined an implied per share fair market value of $23.17 under this method. The following table shows some of the characteristics of the various comparable datasets considered.

Income-based approaches. Income-based approaches measure value by capitalizing or discounting the cash flow or earnings of the enterprise. A discounted cash flow analysis measures enterprise value by discounting future cash flows to present value. This analysis considers projected levels of asset growth, required regulatory capital, earnings, dividend paying capacity, and future residual or terminal value. A capitalization of historical earnings analysis measures enterprise value by capitalizing the subject company’s earnings stream. Based on its experience and the characteristics of the company, National Capital determined that the discounted cash flow analysis was an appropriate method for valuing the company as a going concern.

Discounted cash flow analysis. National Capital used a discounted cash flow analysis that analyzed (i) a stream of cash flow from projected dividends over the current and next five years and (ii) a terminal value which could be derived from the company at the end of this period. The following table summarizes the historical financial information and financial projections utilized by National Capital in determining the projected cash flow of the company through 2012.

As evidenced by the table above, National Capital’s discounted cash flow analysis assumed the following:

that First Louisiana Bancshares paid cash dividends in 2008 through 2012 equal to 73% of its net income, based on its ability to do so while maintaining adequate capital at the bank level;

that First Louisiana Bancshares earned 0.59% to 1.00% on its average assets between 2008 and 2012; and

that First Louisiana Bancshares assets grew by 5.7% on an annualized basis between 2008 and 2012.

The projections utilized by National Capital were developed by National Capital based on an analysis of historical results and discussions with management. Dividend projections were based on the maximum amounts payable while maintaining a reasonable capital to asset ratio and do not necessarily reflect the board’s intentions. The financial projections indicated for 2012 were also used in determining a terminal value based on the comparable acquisition analysis described above.

The discounted cash flow analysis assumes that the projected cash flows from dividends and the terminal value are discounted back to present value at a discount rate derived using the Ibbotson Buildup Method and the current public company price to earnings multiple. Following this methodology, National Capital determined that a discount rate of 15.07% is appropriate based on the risk characteristics of the company. Discounting the future cash flows from dividends and the terminal value to present value, National Capital determined an implied per share fair market value of $19.70 under this method.

In National Capital’s experience, discounted cash flow analysis is a widely-used valuation methodology, but it relies on numerous assumptions, including projected earnings, terminal values and discount rates. The analysis does not purport to be indicative of the actual values or expected values of our common stock.

Capitalization of historical earnings analysis. The historical earnings method is an income-based approach that relies on historical data as a basis for valuation rather than estimates of future performance. Although past performance may not be indicative of future results, the historical earnings method can provide a reasonable indication of value, especially in cases where the subject company has a history of stable earnings or growth and this history can reasonably be expected to continue in the foreseeable future. As a part of its analysis, National Capital reviewed the historical earnings of the company, determined that the company had experienced stable earnings over a relatively long period and concluded that the historical earnings method is an appropriate method for valuing the company. To determine the level of earnings to be capitalized, National Capital developed a trend line using actual earnings between 2005 and 2007. In its analysis, National Capital utilized an earnings capitalization rate of 7.78%, which was derived from Ibbotson Associates cost of capital data and the company’s projected growth rate. The following table illustrates the application of the capitalization of historical earnings analysis.

Based on the information shown above, National Capital determined an implied per share fair market value of $13.81 under this method.

Valuation adjustments. The purpose of a valuation adjustment is to reflect differences between the characteristics of the subject company and those of the comparable datasets from which the indications of value are derived. As valuations are based on the financial principle of substitution, these adjustments are an attempt to account for the varying degrees of risk associated with the subject company as measured against “comparable” similar investments.

Table of Contents

For the value returned by the capitalization of historical earnings analysis, National Capital applied a level of control adjustment in order to reach a whole bank value. The 34.9% control premium used in this valuation is based on data from the MergerStat Control Premium Database for small financial institutions that have sold within the last two years.

National Capital also applied a 5.0% marketability adjustment to reflect the enhanced marketability of the company relative to other companies in the broader financial institutions space. This heightened attractiveness reflects the limited number of acquisition targets in the Shreveport / Bossier MSA.

National Capital applied the control and marketability valuation adjustments described above to determine the fairness of the per share consideration to be received in connection with the proposed transaction. The following table sets forth the various valuation adjustments, indicates a fair market value using each method and measures that fair market value as a multiple of book value and of earnings per share.

Conclusion. Based upon its review of the empirical information described in this information statement and the fairness opinion, and all of the other relevant factors and information deemed appropriate in its professional judgment, National Capital advised the board of directors of First Louisiana Bancshares that, in its considered opinion, the per share consideration to be paid to its shareholders as a result of the proposed transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to all of its shareholders.

Pursuant to its engagement of National Capital, First Louisiana Bancshares will pay a professional fee of $7,500 plus National Capital’s expenses related to rendering its fairness opinion in connection with the merger. In addition, First Louisiana Bancshares has previously engaged National Capital to conduct an annual valuation of its common stock and has engaged American Planning Corporation, an affiliate of National Capital, to provide certain ongoing financial consulting services to First Louisiana Bancshares and First Louisiana Bank. The aggregate amount of all fees paid or payable to National Capital and American Planning Corporation from January 1, 2006 through March 31, 2008 are approximately $83,200.

The summary contained in this section provides a description of the material analyses prepared by National Capital and does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses prepared by National Capital in connection with the valuation analysis and in rendering the opinion. The preparation of a valuation analysis and a fairness opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, such a valuation or opinion is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. National Capital believes that its analyses and the summary set forth above must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, without considering all analyses, or selecting part of the above summary, without considering all factors and analyses, would create an incomplete view of the processes underlying the analyses set forth in National Capital’s presentations to the board of directors and in the fairness opinion. The valuations or ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described above should not be taken to be National Capital’s view of the actual present or future value of First Louisiana Bancshares or of its common stock, and are not necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses.

In its valuation and fairness opinion, National Capital made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and other matters. While National Capital believes that these projections and the assumptions upon which they were based were reasonable, National Capital has no control over the future occurrence of any of the events upon which the projections were based. Certain of the projections are based on factors, such as general and local economic conditions, that are beyond our control. In addition, estimates of values of other companies used in rendering the appraisal and fairness opinion do not purport to be appraisals of those companies or necessarily reflect the prices at which those companies or their securities may actually be sold. National Capital selected comparable public companies and comparable acquisitions on the basis of various factors, including the size and similarity of selected companies, their business mix and similar characteristics of the transactions; however, no company or transaction utilized as a comparison in these analyses summarized above is identical to First Louisiana Bancshares or the transaction.

Consideration to be Received in the Merger

When the merger becomes effective, each share of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger will automatically be converted into the right to receive, at the holder's election, either $28.00 in cash or 2.8 shares of new holding company common stock in exchange for each share of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock. Based on the current number of shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock outstanding, the new holding company will issue an aggregate of approximately 1,324,720 shares of common stock and pay approximately $8.8 million in cash to shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares, assuming none of the outstanding options to purchase shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock are exercised prior to completion of the merger. At the midpoint of the offering range, former First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders will own approximately 31.7% of the outstanding common stock of the new holding company.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders may elect to convert their shares into cash, new holding company common stock or a mixture of cash and new holding company common stock. All elections of First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders are further subject to the allocation and proration procedures described in the merger agreement. These procedures provide, among other things, that the number of shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock to be converted into new holding company common stock in the merger must be equal to 60% of the total number of shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock issued, with the remaining 40% being converted to cash. Neither Home Federal Bancorp nor First Louisiana Bancshares is making any recommendation as to whether First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders should elect to receive cash or new holding company common stock in the merger. Each holder of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock must make his or her own decision with respect to such election.

It is unlikely that elections will be made in the exact proportions provided for in the merger agreement. As a result, the merger agreement describes procedures to be followed if First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders in the aggregate elect to receive more or less of the new holding company common stock than we have agreed to issue. These procedures are summarized below.

If Stock Is Oversubscribed: If First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders elect to receive more new holding company common stock than we have agreed to issue in the merger, then all First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who have elected to receive cash or who have made no election will receive cash for their First Louisiana Bancshares shares and all shareholders who elected to receive new holding company common stock will receive a pro rata portion of the available new holding company shares plus cash for those shares not converted into new holding company common stock.

If Stock Is Undersubscribed: If First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders elect to receive fewer shares of new holding company common stock than we have agreed to issue in the merger, then all First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who have elected to receive new holding company common stock will receive new holding company common stock and all shareholders who elected to receive cash or who have made no election will be treated in the following manner:

If the number of shares held by First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who have made no election is sufficient to make up the shortfall in the number of new holding company shares that new holding company is required to issue, then all First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who elected cash will receive cash, and those shareholders who made no election will receive both cash and new holding company common stock in whatever proportion is necessary to meet the requirement that 60% of the shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock are converted to shares of common stock of the new holding company.

Table of Contents

If the number of shares held by First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who have made no election is insufficient to make up the shortfall, then all First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who made no election will receive common stock of the new holding company and those First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who elected to receive cash will receive cash and new holding company common stock in whatever proportion is necessary to make up the shortfall.

First Louisiana Bancshares's shareholders will not receive fractional shares of new holding company common stock. Instead, they will receive a cash payment for any fractional shares in an amount equal to the product of such fractional amount multiplied by $10.00.

Election and Exchange Procedures

Subject to the allocation process described in the above section, each First Louisiana Bancshares shareholder may elect to receive with respect to his or her shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, all Home Federal Bancorp common stock, all cash or a combination of Home Federal Bancorp common stock and cash.

Stock Election Shares. First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who validly elect to receive Home Federal Bancorp common stock for some or all of their shares will receive the per share stock consideration for that portion of the shareholder's shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock equal to the shareholder's stock election, subject to the allocation process described above. In this discussion, we refer to shares held by shareholders who have made stock elections as "stock election shares."

Cash Election Shares. First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who validly elect to receive cash for some or all of their shares will receive the per share cash consideration for that portion of the shareholder's shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock for which they elect to receive cash, subject to the allocation process described below. In our discussion below, we refer to shares held by First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who have made cash elections as "cash election shares."

No-Election Shares. Shares held by First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders (i) who indicate that they have no preference as to whether they receive Home Federal Bancorp common stock or cash, (ii) who do not make a valid election, or (iii) who fail to properly perfect dissenters' rights will be deemed to be "no-election shares." No-election shares will be converted into the per share stock consideration as needed unless there is an oversubscription of the stock consideration, in which case the no election shares will be converted into the per share cash consideration as needed.

In the aggregate, a fixed amount of stock consideration and cash consideration will be paid to First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders as described above. Accordingly, there is no assurance that a First Louisiana Bancshares shareholder will receive the form of consideration that the shareholder elects with respect to any or all of his or her shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock. If the elections of First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders result in an oversubscription for the available pool of stock consideration or cash consideration, the procedures for allocating Home Federal Bancorp common stock and cash to be received by First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders will be followed by Home Federal Bancorp's exchange agent. See "Consideration to be Received in the Merger" above.

Table of Contents

Election Form and Letter of Transmittal. No later than 15 days prior to the anticipated effective time of the merger, Home Federal Bancorp's exchange agent will mail to you an election form and letter of transmittal along with instructions on electing to receive the new holding company's common stock or cash or a combination of stock and cash for your First Louisiana Bancshares stock. The deadline for making your election will be 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 15th Business Day following but not including the mailing date of the election form. You must carefully follow the instructions from Home Federal Bancorp's exchange agent. Your election will be properly made only if, by the deadline date, you have submitted to Home Federal Bancorp's exchange agent at its designated office, a properly completed and signed election form and letter of transmittal that is accompanied by your First Louisiana Bancshares stock certificate(s). The First Louisiana Bancshares stock certificate(s) must be in a form that is acceptable for transfer (as explained in the election form). If your election is not properly made, your shares of First Louisiana Bancshares stock will be treated as "no-election shares." Neither Home Federal Bancorp nor its exchange agent will be under any obligation to notify any person of any defects in an election form.

As soon as reasonably practicable following the election deadline and upon the surrender by shareholders of any certificates representing First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, Home Federal Bancorp's exchange agent will mail to First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders a certificate representing the aggregate number of shares of new holding company common stock that a First Louisiana Bancshares shareholder has a right to receive and/or checks representing cash consideration for shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, or cash in lieu of fractional shares of new holding company common stock, to former shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares who have timely submitted an effective election form along with their First Louisiana Bancshares stock certificates.

If First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders do not timely submit an election form along with their certificates for First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, they will receive from Home Federal Bancorp's exchange agent promptly after completion of the merger, a letter of transmittal with instructions for submitting their First Louisiana Bancshares stock certificate for new holding company common stock or cash consideration. At that time, those First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders will need to carefully review the instructions, complete the materials enclosed with the instructions and return the materials along with their First Louisiana Bancshares stock certificate. Whether those shareholders receive new holding company common stock or cash will depend on the election of other First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders. See "Consideration to be Received in the Merger" above.

Certificates evidencing shares of the new holding company's common stock will be dated as of the effective date of the merger and will entitle the holders to dividends and any other distributions to which the holder is entitled. Until the certificates representing First Louisiana Bancshares common stock are surrendered for exchange after completion of the merger, holders of such certificates will not receive any cash consideration or stock consideration or dividends or distributions on any new holding company common stock into which such shares have been converted. When such certificates are surrendered, any unpaid dividends or other distributions will be paid without interest. Home Federal Bancorp has the right to withhold dividends or any other distributions on its shares until the First Louisiana Bancshares stock certificates are surrendered for exchange.

Until surrendered, each First Louisiana Bancshares stock certificate, following the effective date, is evidence solely of the right to receive the merger consideration. In no event will either Home Federal Bancorp or First Louisiana Bancshares be liable to any former First Louisiana Bancshares stock holder for any amount paid in good faith to a public official or agency pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

Accounting Treatment

Home Federal Bancorp will account for the merger under the purchase method of accounting. Home Federal Bancorp will record, at fair value, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of First Louisiana Bancshares. To the extent that the total purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, Home Federal Bancorp will record intangible assets, which, among other things, include goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Home Federal Bancorp will include in its results of operations the results of First Louisiana Bancshares's operations after completion of the merger.

You are urged both to review the following discussion and to consult with your own tax advisor to determine the effect of the merger on your individual tax situation, including any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

The information in this section is based upon the current Internal Revenue Code, current, temporary and proposed regulations, the legislative history of the Internal Revenue Code, current administrative interpretations, and practices of the Internal Revenue Service, including its practices and policies as endorsed in private letter rulings, which are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, and existing court decisions. Future legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations and court decisions could change current law or adversely affect interpretations of current law. Any change could apply retroactively. Neither First Louisiana Bancshares nor Home Federal Bancorp has requested, or plans to request, any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service concerning the tax treatment of the merger. Hunton & Williams LLP, counsel to First Louisiana Bancshares, and Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P., counsel to Home Federal Bancorp, have delivered opinion letters to First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp with respect to the discussion set forth below under this heading "Material Federal Income Tax Considerations," and the form of the opinions are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement prospectus is a part. It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service would challenge the statements in this discussion, which do not bind the Internal Revenue Service or the courts and that a court would agree with the Internal Revenue Service.

General

The merger is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The income tax consequences summarized below are based upon the assumption that the merger will qualify as a reorganization. Hunton & Williams LLP, counsel to First Louisiana Bancshares, and Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P., counsel to Home Federal Bancorp, have delivered opinions to First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp, respectively, that the merger will qualify as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The delivery of opinions by Hunton & Williams LLP and Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P. reaffirming the above, dated as of the closing date, is a condition to the merger. The opinions of counsel will rely on customary representations made by First Louisiana Bancshares and Home Federal Bancorp and applicable factual assumptions. If any of the factual assumptions or representations relied upon in the opinions of counsel are inaccurate, the opinions may not accurately describe the federal income tax treatment of the merger, and this discussion may not accurately describe the tax consequences of the merger. The opinions of Hunton & Williams LLP and Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick L.L.P. are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not contest the conclusions expressed therein.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger to First Louisiana Bancshares Stockholders

You may receive in exchange for your First Louisiana Bancshares common stock and pursuant to your election:

only cash,

only common stock of the new holding company, or

common stock of the new holding company and cash by election, subject to the limits described elsewhere herein.

Assuming the merger of First Louisiana Bancshares with the new holding company constitutes a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the merger will have the following federal income tax consequences to you:

Receipt of Only Cash. If you receive only cash in the merger or you receive only cash as payment for dissenting shares, you will recognize gain or loss on the exchange of your First Louisiana Bancshares shares. The gain or loss will equal the difference between the amount of cash you receive and your adjusted tax basis in your First Louisiana Bancshares shares immediately prior to the exchange.

If you are not treated as completely terminating your interest in the new holding company because of the application of the constructive ownership rules of Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code, which generally attribute to you the ownership of shares that are owned by your family members or by entities in which you own an interest or in which you have an option to acquire an interest, the cash you receive may be treated under certain circumstances as a dividend under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code. You should consult your tax advisor as to the possibility that all or a portion of any cash you receive in exchange for your First Louisiana Bancshares stock will be treated as a dividend.

Table of Contents

Receipt of Only Common Stock of the New Holding Company. If you receive only common stock of the new holding company in the merger, you will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of your First Louisiana Bancshares shares. Your aggregate tax basis in the new holding company shares you receive will be equal to the aggregate tax basis in the First Louisiana Bancshares shares which you exchanged for the new holding company shares. Your holding period in the new holding company shares will include your holding period in your First Louisiana Bancshares shares.

Receipt of Common Stock of the New Holding Company and Cash by Election. Subject to the following paragraph, if you receive common stock of the new holding company and cash as a result of your election in the merger or as a result of the allocation and proration procedure described herein, you will recognize gain, but not loss, equal to the lesser of (1) the amount of cash received or (2) your aggregate gain on the exchange. Your aggregate gain on the exchange is equal to the excess of the value of all the cash you receive in the exchange (excluding any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of new holding company common stock), and shares of the new holding company (including any fractional shares of new holding company common stock you are deemed to receive and exchange for cash), over your adjusted tax basis in your shares of First Louisiana Bancshares exchanged in the merger. In determining the aggregate gain, your gain or loss from each identifiable block of shares must be calculated and only the gains aggregated, with no offset for the losses.

Your recognized gain could be taxable as ordinary dividend income depending upon whether and to what extent the exchange reduces your deemed percentage stock ownership interest in the new holding company. For purposes of this determination, you will be treated as if you first exchanged all of your shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock for shares of common stock in the new holding company and then the new holding company immediately redeemed a portion of such shares of common stock in exchange for the cash you actually received. The gain recognized by you in the exchange followed by a deemed redemption will be treated as capital gain if the deemed redemption is either “substantially disproportionate” or “not essentially equivalent to a dividend.” In general, the deemed redemption will be “substantially disproportionate” if, immediately after the deemed redemption, you actually and constructively own less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock entitled to vote, and the percentage of the outstanding voting stock of the new holding company which is actually and constructively owned by you immediately after the deemed redemption is less than eighty percent (80%) of the percentage of the outstanding voting stock of the new holding company that you actually and constructively are deemed to own immediately before the deemed redemption. In order for the deemed redemption to be “not essentially equivalent to a dividend,” the deemed redemption must result in a “meaningful reduction” in your deemed percentage of stock ownership in the new holding company. In general, the determination of whether there has been a “meaningful reduction” requires a comparison of the percentage of the outstanding voting stock of the new holding company that you actually and constructively are deemed to own immediately before the deemed redemption, as compared to the percentage of the outstanding voting stock of the new holding company which is actually and constructively owned by you immediately after the deemed redemption. In applying the “substantially disproportionate” and the “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” tests, Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code requires that you be treated as actually owning the new holding company shares that are owned by your family members or by entities in which you own an interest or in which you have an option to acquire an interest. The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that a minority shareholder in a publicly traded corporation whose relative stock interest is minimal and who exercises no control with respect to corporate affairs is considered to have a meaningful reduction if that shareholder has any reduction in its percentage stock ownership compared to what the shareholder would have received had all of the merger consideration been stock. You should consult your own tax advisor as to the applicability of these rules to your particular facts and circumstances.

Table of Contents

Your aggregate tax basis in the new holding company shares that you receive in the merger (including any fractional share interest you are deemed to have received and exchanged for cash) will be equal to the aggregate tax basis in the First Louisiana Bancshares shares which you exchanged for the new holding company shares, increased by the amount of your taxable gain and decreased by the amount of cash you received (excluding any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of new holding company common stock). Your holding period in the new holding company shares will include your holding period in your First Louisiana Bancshares shares.

Receipt of Cash in Lieu of a Fractional Share. You will generally recognize capital gain or loss on any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of new holding company common stock equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis allocated to that fractional share.

Taxation of Capital Gain. Gain or loss that you recognize in connection with the merger will generally constitute capital gain or loss and will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if your holding period in your First Louisiana Bancshares common stock is greater than one year as of the date of the merger. If you are a non-corporate holder of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, this long-term capital gain generally will be taxed at a maximum United States federal income tax rate of 15%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitation.

Reporting Requirements

If you exchange your First Louisiana Bancshares shares for common stock of the new holding company in connection with the merger and you are a “significant holder” with respect to First Louisiana Bancshares, then you are required to include a statement with respect to the exchange on or with your federal income tax return for the year of the exchange. You will be treated as a significant holder in First Louisiana Bancshares if you own one percent (1%) or more of the First Louisiana Bancshares’ issued and outstanding common stock or if the basis in your shares of First Louisiana Bancshares stock is one million dollars ($1,000,000) or more. The statement must be prepared in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3(b) and must be entitled “STATEMENT PURSUANT TO §1.368-3 BY [INSERT YOUR NAME AND TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER], A SIGNIFICANT HOLDER.” The statement must include the names and employer identification numbers of First Louisiana Bancshares and the new holding company, the date of the merger, the fair market value and tax basis of your First Louisiana Bancshares shares exchanged (determined immediately before the merger).

In addition, as a participant in the merger, you are required to retain permanent records and make such records available to any authorized Internal Revenue Service officers and employees. If you received shares of the new holding company common stock in the merger, these records should include the number of First Louisiana Bancshares shares exchanged, the number of shares of new holding company common stock received, the fair market value of the First Louisiana Bancshares shares exchanged, and your adjusted basis in your First Louisiana Bancshares shares.

Backup Withholding

In order to avoid "backup withholding" on a payment of cash to you pursuant to your election to receive cash in exchange for all or some of your First Louisiana Bancshares shares, or in payment for dissenting shares, you must, unless an exception applies under applicable law and regulations, provide us with your correct taxpayer identification number on a Substitute Form W-9, and certify under penalty of perjury that you are not subject to backup withholding and that your taxpayer identification number is correct. A Substitute Form W-9 will be included with the letter of transmittal to be sent to you by the exchange agent. If you fail to provide your correct taxpayer identification number or the required certifications, you may be subject to penalty by the Internal Revenue Service and any cash payments you would otherwise receive in consideration for shares of First Louisiana Bancshares in the merger may be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%). Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit against your federal income tax liability provided that you furnish certain required information to the Internal Revenue Service.

DISSENTERS' RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL

Unless the merger agreement is approved by the holders of at least 80% of First Louisiana Bancshares' outstanding common stock, Section 131 of the Louisiana Business Corporation Law allows a stockholder of First Louisiana Bancshares who objects to the merger agreement and who complies with the provisions of that section to dissent from the merger agreement and to have paid to him in cash the fair cash value of his shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock as of the day before the meeting, as determined by agreement between the stockholder and Home Federal Bancorp or by the Civil District Court for the Parish of Caddo if the stockholder and Home Federal Bancorp are unable to agree. Shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp are not entitled to dissenters' rights.

To exercise the right of dissent, a First Louisiana Bancshares shareholder:

must file with First Louisiana Bancshares a written objection to the merger agreement prior to or at the meeting; and

must also vote his shares, in person or by proxy, against the merger agreement at such meeting.

Neither a vote against the merger agreement nor a specification in a proxy to vote against the merger agreement will in and of itself constitute the necessary written objection to the merger agreement. Moreover, by voting in favor of, or abstaining from voting on, the merger agreement, or by returning the enclosed proxy without instructing the proxy holders to vote against the merger agreement, a shareholder waives his rights under Section 131. The right to dissent may be exercised only by the record owners of the shares and not by persons who hold shares only beneficially. Beneficial owners who wish to dissent to the merger agreement should have the record ownership of the shares transferred to their names or instruct the record owner to follow the Section 131 procedure on their behalf.

Table of Contents

If the merger agreement is approved by less than 80% of the total number of shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock outstanding, then promptly after the effective date written notice of the consummation of the merger agreement will be given by Home Federal Bancorp by registered mail to each former shareholder of First Louisiana Bancshares who filed a written objection to the merger agreement and voted against it at such shareholder's last address on First Louisiana Bancshares' records. Within 20 days after the mailing of such notice, the shareholder must file with Home Federal Bancorp a written demand for payment for his shares at their fair cash value as of the day before the First Louisiana Bancshares meeting and must state the amount demanded and a post office address to which Home Federal Bancorp may reply. He must also deposit the certificates formerly representing his shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock in escrow with a bank or trust company located in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. The certificates must be duly endorsed and transferred to Home Federal Bancorp upon the sole condition that they are delivered to Home Federal Bancorp upon payment of the value of the shares in accordance with Section 131. With the above-mentioned demand, the shareholder must also deliver to Home Federal Bancorp the written acknowledgment of such bank or trust company that it holds the certificate(s), duly endorsed as described above.

Unless the shareholder objects to and votes against the merger agreement, demands payment, endorses and deposits his certificates and delivers the required acknowledgment in accordance with the procedures and within the time periods set forth above, the shareholder will conclusively be presumed to have acquiesced to the merger agreement and will forfeit any right to seek payment pursuant to Section 131.

If Home Federal Bancorp does not agree to the amount demanded by the shareholder, or does not agree that payment is due, it will, within 20 days after receipt of such demand and acknowledgment, notify such shareholder in writing at the designated post office address of either (i) the amount it will agree to pay or (ii) its belief that no payment is due. In this regard, shareholders should be aware that opinions of investment banking firms as to fairness from a financial point of view, including the opinion of National Capital Corporation described in this joint proxy statement and prospectus, are not opinions as to "fair value" under Louisiana law, and a determination of the fair cash value of the shares could be less than the consideration to be paid by Home Federal Bancorp in the merger.

If the shareholder does not agree to accept the offered amount, or disagrees with Home Federal Bancorp's assertion that no payment is due, he must, within 60 days after receipt of such notice, file suit against Home Federal Bancorp in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Caddo for a judicial determination of the fair cash value of the shares. Any shareholder entitled to file such suit may, within such 60-day period but not thereafter, intervene as a plaintiff in any suit filed against Home Federal Bancorp by another former shareholder for a judicial determination of the fair cash value of such other shareholder's shares. If a shareholder fails to bring or to intervene in such a suit within the applicable 60-day period, he will be deemed to have consented to accept Home Federal Bancorp's statement that no payment is due or, if Home Federal Bancorp does not contend that no payment is due, to accept the amount specified by Home Federal Bancorp in its notice of disagreement.

If, upon the filing of any such suit or intervention, Home Federal Bancorp deposits with the court the amount, if any, which it specified in its notice of disagreement, and if in that notice Home Federal Bancorp offered to pay such amount to the shareholder on demand, then the costs, not including legal fees, of the suit or intervention will be taxed against the shareholder if the amount finally awarded to him, exclusive of interest and costs, is equal to or less than the amount so deposited; otherwise, the costs, not including legal fees, will be taxed against Home Federal Bancorp.

Upon filing a demand for the value of his shares, a shareholder ceases to have any rights of a shareholder except the rights created by Section 131. The shareholder's demand may be withdrawn voluntarily at any time before Home Federal Bancorp gives its notice of disagreement, but thereafter only with the written consent of Home Federal Bancorp. If his demand is properly withdrawn, or if the shareholder otherwise loses his dissenters' rights, he will be restored to his rights as a shareholder as of the time of filing of his demand for fair cash value.

Hensley, Corporate Secretary, First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc., 1350 East 70th Street, Shreveport, Louisiana 71105. After the effective date of the merger, dissenting shareholders should send any communications regarding their rights to DeNell W.

All such communications should be signed by or on behalf of the dissenting shareholder in the form in which his shares are registered on the books of First Louisiana Bancshares.

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF

FIRST LOUISIANA BANCSHARES

General. At the effective date of the merger, First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders who receive shares of the new holding company common stock will become shareholders of the new holding company, and their rights as shareholders will be determined by the new holding company's articles of incorporation and bylaws. The following discussion summarizes certain material differences between the rights of shareholders of the new holding company and shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares. The following discussion is necessarily general and is not intended to be a complete statement of all of the rights of shareholders of their respective entities. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Louisiana Business Corporation Law, federal and state banking laws and regulations and the governing corporate instruments of the new holding company and First Louisiana Bancshares, to which the shareholders of First Louisiana Bancshares are referred.

Authorized Capital Stock

The New Holding Company. The new holding company's articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 40,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which none are issued or outstanding as of the date of this joint proxy statement prospectus. Holders of the new holding company common stock are entitled to one vote per share for all purposes. They are entitled to such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors in compliance with the provisions of the Louisiana Business Corporation Law and the regulations of the appropriate regulatory authorities and to receive the net assets of the corporation upon dissolution. The new holding company shareholders do not have any preemptive rights with respect to acquiring additional shares of the new holding company common stock. The shares of the new holding company common stock to be issued in connection with the conversion and offering and the merger will be, when issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The new holding company shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

The new holding company's board of directors may authorize the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of the new holding company's common stock without shareholder approval, unless such approval is required in a particular case by applicable laws or regulations.

The authorized but unissued shares of the new holding company common stock will be issuable from time to time for any corporate purpose, including, without limitation, stock splits, stock dividends, employee benefit and compensation plans, acquisitions, and public or private sales for cash as a means of raising capital. These shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of the new holding company. In addition, the sale of a substantial number of shares of the new holding company common stock to persons who have an understanding with the new holding company concerning the voting of such shares, or the distribution or declaration of a common stock dividend to the new holding company shareholders, may have the effect of discouraging or increasing the cost of unsolicited attempts to acquire control of the new holding company.

First Louisiana Bancshares. First Louisiana Bancshares' authorized common stock consists of 10,000,000 shares of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock, par value $2.00 per share, of which 788,524 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2007, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share, of which none are issued and outstanding. Generally, holders of First Louisiana Bancshares common stock have the same rights and privileges with respect to First Louisiana Bancshares as the holders of the new holding company common stock have with respect to the new holding company, however First Louisiana Bancshares shareholders have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Table of Contents

Directors

The New Holding Company. The new holding company's articles of incorporation provide that the number of directors shall be no less than five and no more than 16 as specified in the bylaws. Currently the bylaws specify nine members. In connection with the merger agreement, we have agreed to amend the Bylaws on completion of the merger to increase the number of directors to 16. Directors are divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible, with each class elected to a staggered three-year term. There is no cumulative voting on directors. The directors do not need to be shareholders of the new holding company.

The articles of incorporation of the new holding company provide generally that vacancies on the board of directors, including any vacancy resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors.

The provisions regarding election of the new holding company directors are designed to protect the ability of the board of directors to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to take over or restructure the company by making it more difficult and time-consuming to change majority control of the board, even if holders of a majority of the capital stock believes that a change in the composition of the board is desirable. The general effect of these provisions will be to require at least two, and possibly three, annual shareholders' meetings, instead of one, to change control of the board. These requirements are intended to help ensure continuity and stability of management and policies and facilitate long-range planning.

First Louisiana Bancshares. First Louisiana Bancshares' articles of incorporation provide that the number of directors comprising the board will be no fewer than three and no more than 25. The articles further provide that the exact number will be fixed, and may be changed from time to time, within these limits, by the shareholders or the board. The bylaws provide that within the 3-25 range, the exact number of directors may be fixed from time to time by the board. Currently the board of directors has seven members. There is no cumulative voting on directors. The directors do not need to be shareholders. The First Louisiana Bancshares board of directors is divided into three classes, with each class elected to a staggered three-year term.

The bylaws of First Louisiana Bancshares provide generally that vacancies on the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum. A vacancy created by the removal of a director by the vote of shareholders may be filled only by the shareholders entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting called for that purpose. A director elected to fill a vacancy generally will be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office.

Removal of Directors

The New Holding Company. The new holding company's articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that any director may be removed, without cause by the affirmative vote of no less than 75% of the total votes eligible to be cast at a duly constituted meeting called for such purpose, and with cause, as defined, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the new holding company entitled to vote.

First Louisiana Bancshares. First Louisiana Bancshares' bylaws provide that a director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, at any special or annual meeting of shareholders, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting. The bylaws further provide that the notice to the shareholder meeting must state the intention to act upon the removal of a director at the meeting.

Special Meetings of Shareholders

The New Holding Company. The articles of incorporation provide that special meetings of the shareholders may be called only by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the directors, president or holders of at least 50% of the shares entitled to vote.

First Louisiana Bancshares. The articles of incorporation provide that special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the board of directors or any other person so authorized in the bylaws. The bylaws provide that special meetings may be called by the chairman of the board, the president, the board of directors or the holders of not less than 10% of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting.

Shareholder Nominations and Shareholder Proposals

The New Holding Company. The new holding company's articles of incorporation establishes advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals and the nomination (other than by or at the direction of the new holding company's board of directors or one of its committees) of candidates for election as directors. A shareholder of the new holding company wishing to nominate a person as a candidate for election to the board of directors must submit the nomination in writing at least 120 days before the one year anniversary of the initial mailing of proxy material for the most recent annual meeting of shareholders, together with as to each person the shareholder proposes to nominate, and as to the shareholder agreeing the notice, (1) their names, ages, business and residence addresses, (2) principal occupation or employment, (3) shareholdings, and to the extent known, (a) the name and address of other shareholders supporting the nominee(s), and (b) their shareholdings; (4) representation that the shareholder will continue to be a shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting and appear in person; (5) description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and nominee; (6) other information required by Securities and Exchange Commission proxy rules; and (7) consent of the nominee. Nominations that are not made in accordance with the foregoing provisions may be ruled out of order. In addition, a shareholder intending to make a proposal for consideration at a regularly scheduled annual meeting that is not intended to be included in the proxy statement for the meeting must notify the new holding company in writing at least 120 days before the one year anniversary of the initial mailing of proxy material for the most recent annual meeting of the shareholder's intention. The notice must contain: (1) a brief description of the proposal, (2) the name, address and shareholdings of the shareholder submitting the proposal and other shareholders supporting the proposal, (3) shareholdings; (4) identification of any proxy solicitors retained by the shareholder, and (5) any material interest of the shareholder in the proposal.

In accordance with SEC Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, shareholder proposals intended to be included in the proxy statement and presented at a regularly scheduled annual meeting must be received by the new holding company at least 120 days before the anniversary of the date that previous year's proxy statement was first mailed to shareholder. As provided in SEC rules, if the annual meeting date has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the prior year's meeting, or for special meetings, the proposal must be submitted within a reasonable time before the new holding company begins to mail its proxy materials.

The procedures regarding shareholder nominations provide the new holding company's board of directors with sufficient time and information to evaluate a shareholder nominee to the board and other relevant information, such as existing shareholder support for the nominee. The procedures, however, provide incumbent directors advance notice of a dissident slate of nominees for directors, and make it easier for the board to solicit proxies resisting shareholder nominees. This may make it easier for incumbent directors to retain their status as directors, even when certain shareholders view the shareholder nominations as in the best interests of the new holding company or its shareholders.

First Louisiana Bancshares. First Louisiana Bancshares' bylaws provide that all proposals of shareholders intended to be presented at an annual meeting of shareholders must be received by the corporation no later than 70 days prior to the meeting in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for the next annual meeting. Because First Louisiana Bancshares' common stock is not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, First Louisiana Bancshares is not subject to Rule 14a-8 under that Act.

Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation

The New Holding Company. No amendment to the articles of incorporation of the new holding company will be made unless it is first approved by a majority of the board of directors and thereafter by the holders of a majority, except as provided below, of the shares entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class, as well as such additional vote of any preferred stock, if then issued and outstanding, as may be required by the provisions thereof. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the shares entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class, as well as such additional vote of any preferred stock, if then issued and outstanding, as may be required by the provisions thereof, is required to amend charter provisions relating to the number, nomination, election and removal of directors; preemptive rights; personal liability, indemnification, advancement of expenses and other rights of officers, directors, employees and agents; meetings of shareholders and shareholder proposals; restrictions on offers and acquisition of the new holding company's equity securities and amendment of the articles and bylaws.

Table of Contents

First Louisiana Bancshares. The articles of incorporation of First Louisiana Bancshares generally may be amended at any shareholder meeting upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares. The articles of incorporation provide that the affirmative vote of 80% of the total voting power is required to amend the article governing indemnification of directors, officers and certain other persons by First Louisiana Bancshares and the article limiting the liability of directors and officers for monetary damages to First Louisiana Bancshares or its shareholders as a result of certain actions.

Amendments to the Bylaws

The New Holding Company. The articles of incorporation of the new holding company provide that the board of directors or shareholders may amend the bylaws. Action by the board requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. Action by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares, as well as any additional vote of preferred stock if then issued and outstanding; provided that the affirmative vote of 75% of the shares is required to amend bylaws relating to meetings of shareholders, the board of directors, personal liability of directors and officers and amendments to the bylaws.

First Louisiana Bancshares. The bylaws of First Louisiana Bancshares may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at a duly called meeting of the board, subject to the power of the shareholders to change or repeal any amendment by a majority vote present at a shareholder meeting.

Exculpation and Indemnification

Louisiana Business Corporation Law. The Louisiana Business Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any of its directors and officers against liability incurred in connection with a proceeding if:

the director or officer acted in good faith;

the director or officer reasonably believed such conduct was in, or not opposed to, the corporation's best interest; and

in connection with any criminal action or proceeding, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

However, the Louisiana Business Corporation Law provides that directors or officers may not be indemnified if they are held liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of their duties to the corporation, unless a court determines that the director is entitled to indemnity for expenses which the court deems proper.

The Louisiana Business Corporation Law also permits a Louisiana corporation, in its articles of incorporation, to limit the personal liability of its directors and officers in actions brought on behalf of the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages, with certain exceptions, as a result of a director's or officer's acts or omissions while acting in a capacity as a director or officer.

The New Holding Company. The new holding company's articles of incorporation provide that a director or officer of the new holding company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, as a director or officer except to the extent that by law a director's or officer's liability for monetary damages may not be limited. This provision may preclude shareholder derivative actions and may be construed to preclude other third-party claims against the directors and officers.

Table of Contents

The new holding company's articles of incorporation provide that the new holding company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, including actions by or in the right of the new holding company, whether civil, criminal administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Such indemnification is furnished to the full extent provided by law against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The indemnification provisions also permit the new holding company to pay reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors, provided that the indemnified person undertakes to repay the new holding company if it is ultimately determined that such person was not entitled to indemnification.

The rights of indemnification provided in the articles of incorporation are not exclusive of any other rights which may be available under the bylaws, any insurance or other agreement, by vote of shareholders or directors (regardless of whether directors authorizing such indemnification are beneficiaries thereof) or otherwise. In addition, the articles of incorporation authorize the new holding company to maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the new holding company, whether or not the new holding company would have the power to provide indemnification to such person. By action of the board of directors, the new holding company may create and fund a trust fund or other fund or form of self-insurance arrangement of any nature, and may enter into agreements with its officers, directors, employees and agents for the purpose of securing or insuring in any manner its obligation to indemnify or advance expenses provided for in the provisions in the charter and bylaws regarding indemnification. These provisions are designed to reduce, in appropriate cases, the risks incident to serving as a director, officer, employee or agent and to enable the company to attract and retain the best personnel available.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the new holding company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the new holding company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

First Louisiana Bancshares. First Louisiana Bancshares' articles of incorporation include a provision that limits the personal liability of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Louisiana Business Corporation Law, with certain exceptions. This provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of the company's directors and officers for (a) any breach of the director's or officer's duty of loyalty to the company or its shareholders, (b) any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) any unlawful dividend, stock repurchase or other distribution, payment or return of assets to shareholders, or (d) any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit. The articles of incorporation also generally provide that First Louisiana Bancshares will indemnify and hold harmless any director, officer, fiduciary or other representative of another entity at the request of First Louisiana Bancshares and may indemnify any other person when that person is acting in a capacity for First Louisiana Bancshares, in connection with any actual or threatened action, proceeding or investigation, subject to limited exceptions.

Limitation on Voting Rights

The New Holding Company. Article 9.A of the new holding company's articles of incorporation provides that no person shall directly or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial ownership of (i) more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of any class of an equity security of the new holding company's, or (ii) any securities convertible into, or exercisable for, any equity securities of the new holding company's if, assuming conversion or exercise by such person of all securities of which such person is the beneficial owner which are convertible into, or exercisable for, such equity securities (but of no securities convertible into, or exercisable for, such equity securities of which such person is not the beneficial owner), such person would be the beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of an equity security of the new holding company. The term "person" is broadly defined to prevent circumvention of this restriction.

Table of Contents

The foregoing restrictions do not apply to (i) any offer with a view toward public resale made exclusively to the new holding company by underwriters or a selling group acting on its behalf, (ii) any tax-qualified employee benefit plan or arrangement established by us and any trustee of such a plan or arrangement, and (iii) any other offer or acquisition approved in advance by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of our entire board of directors. In the event that shares are acquired in violation of Article 9.A, all shares beneficially owned by any person in excess of 10% shall be considered "excess shares" and shall not be counted as shares entitled to vote and shall not be voted by any person or counted as voting shares in connection with any matters submitted to shareholders for a vote, and the board of directors may cause such excess shares to be transferred to an independent trustee for sale on the open market or otherwise, with the expenses of such trustee to be paid out of the proceeds of sale.

First Louisiana Bancshares. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of First Louisiana Bancshares do not contain a similar limitation on voting rights.

Business Combinations and Control Share Acquisitions

The Louisiana Business Corporation Law sets forth heightened voting requirements with respect to certain mergers, consolidations and other business combinations between corporations and persons deemed to be interested shareholders. Interested shareholders include any person who beneficially owns at least 10% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. Generally, the business combination provisions require that transactions involving a Louisiana corporation and an interested shareholder be approved by shareholders owning at least 80% of the total voting power of the corporation and by at least two-thirds of the total voting power of the corporation (excluding the interested shareholder), unless certain pricing and procedural requirements are satisfied.

The Louisiana Business Corporation Law also sets forth certain procedures applicable to control share acquisitions with respect to Louisiana corporations. These provisions generally remove the voting rights of shares acquired by a shareholder whose ownership reaches certain stock ownership thresholds unless the remaining shareholders reinstate such voting rights.

A Louisiana corporation may elect to opt out of the business combination and control share acquisition provisions referenced above by providing in its articles of incorporation that the provisions shall not apply to the corporation. The articles of incorporation of the new holding company provide that the control share acquisition provisions will not apply to the new holding company. The articles of incorporation of First Louisiana Bancshares provide that the business combination and control share acquisition provisions will not apply to First Louisiana Bancshares. Because the articles of incorporation of the new holding company do not expressly opt out of the business combination provisions, the business combination provisions apply to the new holding company.

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP

General. As a result of the conversion and offering, current holders of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will become shareholders of a newly formed Louisiana corporation. The current Home Federal Bancorp is a federally chartered subsidiary holding company subject to the rules, regulations and orders of the Office of Thrift Supervision. The new holding company is a Louisiana corporation subject to the Business Corporation Law of Louisiana. The current charter and bylaws of Home Federal Bancorp and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the new holding company are substantially similar, except as described below.

Authorized Capital Stock. The new holding company's authorized capital stock consists of 40,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The current authorized capital stock of Home Federal Bancorp consists of 8,000,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The number of the new holding company's authorized shares of stock is greater than what it will issue in the conversion and offering and the merger. This will provide the new holding company's Board of Directors with greater flexibility in the future to effect, among other things, financings, other acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and employee stock options.

Issuance of Capital Stock. Currently, pursuant to Office of Thrift Supervision laws and regulations, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company is required to own not less than a majority of the outstanding common stock of Home Federal Bancorp. There will be no such restriction applicable to the new holding company following consummation of the conversion and offering, as Home Federal Mutual Holding Company will cease to exist.

Table of Contents

The new holding company's Articles of Incorporation do not contain restrictions on the issuance of shares of capital stock to our directors, officers or controlling persons, whereas the current charter of Home Federal Bancorp restricts such issuance to general public offerings, or if qualifying shares, to directors, unless the share issuance or the plan under which they would be issued has been approved by a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast at a legal meeting. Thus, we could adopt stock-related compensation plans such as stock option plans without shareholder approval and shares of our capital stock could be issued directly to directors or officers without shareholder approval. The Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, however, generally require corporations with securities which are quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market to obtain shareholder approval of most stock compensation plans for directors, officers and key employees of the corporation. Moreover, although generally not required, shareholder approval of stock-related compensation plans may be sought in certain instances in order to qualify such plans for favorable federal income tax law treatment under current laws and regulations. We expect that our common stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and plan to submit the stock compensation plans discussed herein to our shareholders for their approval.

Neither the current charter and bylaws of Home Federal Bancorp nor the new holding company's articles of incorporation and bylaws provide for preemptive rights to shareholders in connection with the issuance of capital stock.

Shareholder Nominations and Proposals. The current bylaws of Home Federal Bancorp provide that all nominations for election to the board of directors, other than those made by the board acting as the nominating committee thereof or a shareholder proposal, shall be made by a shareholder who has complied with the notice provisions in the bylaws. Written notice of a shareholder nomination or proposal must be delivered to the secretary of Home Federal Bancorp not later than five days prior to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders.

Home Federal Bancorp's articles of incorporation provide that nominations for the board of directors may be made by a majority of the board of directors or a shareholder entitled to vote at the annual meeting. The new holding company's articles of incorporation provide that only such business as shall have been properly brought before an annual meeting of shareholders shall be conducted at the annual meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the board of directors, or otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder. For a shareholder nominee to be eligible for election to the Board or for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice in writing to our secretary. To be timely, a shareholder=s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the corporation=s principal executive offices not later than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the mailing of proxy materials in connection with the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders. The notice requirements for shareholder nominations and proposals for new business are set forth in the articles of incorporation, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement prospectus is a part. See "Where You Can Find Additional Information" for procedures for obtaining a copy of those documents. With respect to the first annual meeting of shareholders, which is expected to be held in January 2009, the deadline for submitting such nominations or proposals will be August 31, 2008.

Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets. The Louisiana Business Corporation Law generally requires the approval of the Board of Directors and the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the voting power present in person or by proxy.

Louisiana Corporate Law. In addition to the provisions contained in our articles of incorporation, the Louisiana Business Corporation Law includes certain provisions applicable to Louisiana corporations, such as the new holding company, which may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect, unless the corporation opts out of their applicability. Such provisions include (i) rights of shareholders to receive the fair value of their shares of stock following a control transaction from a controlling person or group and (ii) requirements relating to certain business combinations. The new holding company's articles of incorporation provide that the control shares provision will not apply to the new holding company.

Table of Contents

The Louisiana Business Corporation Law defines a “Business Combination” generally to include (a) any merger, consolidation or share exchange of the corporation with an “Interested Shareholder” or affiliate thereof, (b) any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition, other than in the ordinary course of business, of assets equal to 10% or more of the market value of the corporation’s outstanding stock or of the corporation’s net worth to any Interested Shareholder or affiliate thereof in any 12-month period, (c) the issuance or transfer by the corporation of equity securities of the corporation with an aggregate market value of 5% or more of the total market value of the corporation’s outstanding stock to any Interested Shareholder or affiliate thereof, except in certain circumstances, (d) the adoption of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the corporation in which anything other than cash will be received by an Interested Shareholder or affiliate thereof, or (e) any reclassification of the corporation’s stock or merger which increases by 5% or more the ownership interest of the Interested Shareholder or any affiliate thereof. “Interested Shareholder” includes any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock, or any affiliate thereof who had such beneficial ownership during the preceding two years, excluding in each case the corporation, its subsidiaries and their benefit plans.

Under the Louisiana Business Corporation Law, a Business Combination must be approved by any vote otherwise required by law or the articles of incorporation, and by the affirmative vote of at least each of the following: (1) 80% of the total outstanding voting stock of the corporation; and (2) two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock held by persons other than the Interested Shareholder. However, the supermajority vote requirement shall not be applicable if the Business Combination meets certain minimum price requirements and other procedural safeguards, or if the transaction is approved by the Board of Directors prior to the time that the Interested Shareholder first became an Interested Shareholder.

Amendment of Governing Instruments. No amendment of the current charter of Home Federal Bancorp may be made unless it is first proposed by the Board of Directors, then preliminarily approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision, and thereafter approved by the holders of a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast at a legal meeting. The new holding company's articles of incorporation generally provide that no amendment of the articles of incorporation may be made unless it is first approved by its board of directors and thereafter approved by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class, as well as such additional vote of the preferred stock as may be required by the provisions of any series thereof, provided, however, any amendment which is inconsistent with Articles VI (directors), VII (meetings of shareholders, actions without a meeting), VIII (liability of directors and officers), IX (restrictions on offers and acquisitions), XI (shareholder approval of mergers and other actions) and XII (amendments to the Articles of Incorporation) must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 75% of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote thereon unless approved by the affirmative vote of 80% of directors then in office.

The current bylaws of Home Federal Bancorp may be amended by a majority vote of the full board of directors or by a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote at any legal meeting. The new holding company's bylaws may similarly be amended by the majority vote of the full board of directors at a regular or special meeting of the board of directors or by a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class, as well as such additional vote the preferred stock as may be required by the provisions of any series thereof, provided, however, that the shareholder vote requirement for any amendment to the bylaws which is inconsistent with Sections 2.10 (shareholder proposals), 3.1 (number of directors and powers), 3.2 (classifications and terms of directors), 3.3 (director vacancies), 3.4 (director removals) and 3.12 (director nominations) and Article VI (indemnification) is the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 75% of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote thereon.

INFORMATIONAL PROPOSALS RELATED TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF

NEW HOME FEDERAL BANCORP

By their approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization as set forth in Proposal 1, the board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp has approved each of the informational proposals numbered 1A through 1C, all of which relate to provisions included in the articles of incorporation of the new holding company. Each of these informational proposals is discussed in more detail below.

As a result of the conversion, the public shareholders of Home Federal Bancorp, whose rights are presently governed by the charter and bylaws of Home Federal Bancorp, will become shareholders of the new holding company, whose rights will be governed by the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the new holding company. The following informational proposals address the material differences between the governing documents of the two companies. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the charter of Home Federal Bancorp and the articles of incorporation of the new holding company. See "Where You Can Find Additional Information" for procedures for obtaining a copy of those documents.

The provisions of the new holding company's articles of incorporation which are summarized as informational proposals 1A through 1C were approved as part of the process in which the board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp approved the plan of conversion and reorganization. These proposals are informational in nature only, because the Office of Thrift Supervision's regulations governing mutual-to-stock conversions do not provide for votes on matters other than the plan of conversion. Home Federal Bancorp's shareholders are not being asked to approve these informational proposals at the special meeting.

Informational Proposal 1A – Increase of Authorized Shares of Capital Stock. Home Federal Bancorp's authorized capital stock consists of 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 8,000,000 shares of common stock. The articles of incorporation of the new holding company authorize 10,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock and 40,000,000 shares of common stock.

At December 31, 2007, there were 3,383,287 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp and no outstanding shares of preferred stock. At the maximum of the offering range, we expect to issue an aggregate of 4,604,446 shares of the new holding company common stock in the conversion and offering and as exchange shares in the merger, approximately 1/3 more than the existing number of outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp. At the maximum of the offering range, an additional 150,277 shares of the new holding company common stock will be reserved for issuance pursuant to the existing 2005 stock option plan and another 141,263 shares would be reserved under the new stock option plan which is contemplated. Given the increased number of shares of common stock to be issued and outstanding and reserved for issuance, an increase in the number of authorized shares of capital stock is believed to be appropriate.

The new holding company's board of directors currently has no plans for the issuance of additional shares of common stock, other than the issuance of shares of pursuant to the terms of the existing 2005 stock option plan and the proposed new stock option plan.

All authorized and unissued shares of the new holding company's common stock and preferred stock following the conversion and offering and the merger will be available for issuance without further action of the shareholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market or the listing standards of any other stock exchange on which the new holding company's securities may then be listed.

An increase in the number of authorized shares of capital stock may have the effect of deterring or rendering more difficult attempts by third parties to obtain control of the new holding company, if such attempts are not approved by the board of directors. In the event that a tender offer or other takeover attempt is threatened, the board of directors could issue shares of stock from authorized and unissued shares in order to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to take control of the company.

Informational Proposal 1B. Super-Majority Shareholder Approve Requirements to Amend Certain Provisions of the New Holding Company's Articles of Incorporation. Any amendments of the charter of Home Federal Bancorp must be approved first by the board of directors and then by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote generally at a legal meeting. Under the articles of incorporation of the new holding company, any amendment to the articles of incorporation which is inconsistent with Articles 5 (directors), 6 (preemptive rights), 7 (liability of directors and officers and indemnification), 8 (shareholder meetings and proposals), 9 (restrictions on offers and acquisitions) and 11 (amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws) must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 75% of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote thereon.

These limitations on amendments to specified provisions of the new holding company's articles of incorporation are intended to ensure that the referenced provisions are not limited or changed upon a simple majority vote. While this limits the ability of shareholders to amend those provisions, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, as a 63.1% shareholder, currently can effectively block any shareholder proposed change to the charter.

This provision in the new holding company's articles of incorporation could have the effect of discouraging a tender offer or other takeover attempt where to ability to make fundamental changes through amendments to the articles of incorporation is an important element of the takeover strategy of the potential acquiror. The board of directors believes that the provisions limiting certain amendments to the articles of incorporation will put the board of directors in a stronger position to negotiate with third parties with respect to transactions potentially affecting the corporate structure of the new holding company and the fundamental rights of its shareholders, and to preserve the ability of all shareholders to have an effective voice in the outcome of such matters.

Informational Proposal 1C. – Super-majority Shareholder Approval Requirements to Amend Certain Provisions of the New Holding Company's Bylaws. The current bylaws of Home Federal Bancorp may be amended by a majority vote of the full board of directors or by a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote at any legal meeting after receipt of any applicable regulatory approval. The new holding company's bylaws may similarly be amended by the majority vote of the full board of directors at a regular or special meeting of the board of directors or by a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class, as well as such additional vote the preferred stock as may be required by the provisions of any series thereof, provided, however, that the shareholder vote requirement for any amendment to the bylaws which is inconsistent with Articles II (shareholder meetings), IV (board of directors), VIII (liability of directors and officers) and XII (amendment of bylaws) is the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 75% of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote thereon.

This provision limits the ability of the new holding company's shareholders to revise certain bylaw provisions. However, shareholders do retain the authority to authorize changes in the bylaws of the new holding company. Currently, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, as the owner of 63.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp, has the ability to block any proposed change to the bylaws of Home Federal Bancorp.

This provision in the new holding company's bylaws could have the effect of discouraging a tender offer or other takeover attempt where the ability to make fundamental changes through bylaw amendments is an important element of the takeover strategy of the potential acquiror. The board of directors believes that the provision limiting certain amendments to the bylaws will put the board of directors in a stronger position to negotiate with third parties with respect to transactions potentially affecting the corporate structure of the new holding company and the fundamental rights of its shareholders, and to preserve the ability of all shareholders to have an effective voice in the outcome of such matters.

(iii) (A) Subject to Sections 2.5 and 2.6, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.3(a)(ii) and any Dissenting Shares, as hereinafter defined, subject to Section 2.3(d)) shall be converted into, and shall be cancelled in exchange for, the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof:

(1) the number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock which is equal to the quotient (the “Exchange Ratio”) determined by dividing (x) $28.00 by (y) the Final Purchase Price of Holding Company Common Stock (or 2.8 shares assuming a Final Purchase Price of $10.00 per share) (the “Per Share Stock Consideration”), or

(2) a cash amount equal to $28.00 (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”).

The Per Share Stock Consideration and Per Share Cash Consideration are collectively referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration.”

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Aggregate Cash Consideration” shall be equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock (including any Dissenting Shares but excluding shares of Company Common Stock being cancelled pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(ii) or which are owned by the Holding Company other than in a fiduciary capacity) outstanding at the Effective Time multiplied by .40 multiplied by the Per Share Cash Consideration.

(c) Each outstanding share of Company Common Stock the holder of which has perfected his right to dissent under Section 12:131 of the BCL and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration hereunder, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by applicable law. The Company shall give Home Bancorp prompt notice upon receipt by the Company of any such demands for payment of the fair value of such shares of Company Common Stock and of withdrawals of such notice and any other instruments provided pursuant to applicable law (any shareholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”) and Home Bancorp and the Holding Company shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Home Bancorp and/or the Holding Company, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or the taking of any other action by such Dissenting Shareholder as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under applicable law. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Surviving Corporation.

(d) If any Dissenting Shareholder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his right to such payment at or prior to the Effective Time, such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If such holder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his right to such payment after the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock of such holder shall be converted on a share by share basis into either the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration or the Per Share Stock Consideration as the Surviving Corporation shall determine pursuant to the terms hereof in its sole determination.

2.4	Shareholder Rights; Stock Transfers

At the Effective Time, holders of Company Common Stock shall cease to be and shall have no rights as shareholders of the Company, other than to receive the consideration provided under Sections 2.3 and 2.6 hereof. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfers books of the Company or the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock and if certificates evidencing such shares are presented for transfer after the Effective Time, they shall be cancelled against delivery of (i) certificates for whole shares of Holding Company Common Stock (plus cash in lieu of any fractional share interest) equal to the Per Share Stock Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock presented for transfer or (ii) the Per Share Cash Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock presented for transfer or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), in each case as determined in accordance with this Agreement as herein provided.

2.5	Election and Exchange Procedures

(a) Home Bancorp shall designate an exchange agent reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for purposes of conducting the election procedure and the exchange procedure as described in this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6. No later than 15 days prior to the anticipated Effective Time or on such earlier date as Home Bancorp and the Company may mutually agree (the “Mailing Date”), Home Bancorp shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or make available to each holder of record as of five (5) Business Days prior to the Mailing Date of a certificate or certificates representing issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (each a “Certificate”) (i) a notice and letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing shares of Company Common Stock shall pass only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent) advising such holder of the procedure for surrendering to the Exchange Agent such Certificate or Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration set forth in Section 2.3(a)(iii) hereof deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) an election form in such form as Home Bancorp and Company shall mutually agree (“Election Form”). Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or in the case of nominee record holders, the beneficial owner through proper instructions and documentation) (i) to elect to receive Holding Company Common Stock with respect to the designated number of such holder’s Company Common Stock (the “Stock Election Shares”), (ii) to elect to receive cash with respect to the designated number of such holder’s Company Common Stock (the “Cash Election Shares”), or (iii) to indicate that such holder makes no such election with respect to such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock (the “No-Election Shares”). A holder of Company Common Stock may elect to receive a combination of Holding Company Common Stock and cash with respect to his shares of Company Common Stock. Nominee record holders who hold Company Common Stock on behalf of multiple beneficial owners shall indicate how many of the shares held by them are Stock Election Shares, Cash Election Shares and No-Election Shares. Any shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which the holder thereof shall not, as of the Election Deadline (as defined below), have made such an election by submission to the Exchange Agent of an effective, properly completed Election Form shall be deemed to be No-Election Shares. For purposes of the allocation procedures set forth in this Section 2.5, any Dissenting Shares shall be deemed Cash Election Shares and with respect to such shares the holders thereof shall in no event receive consideration comprised of Holding Company Common Stock.

(b) The term “Election Deadline” shall mean 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 15th Business Day following but not including the Mailing Date or such other date as Home Bancorp and the Company shall mutually agree upon.

(c) Any election to receive Holding Company Common Stock or cash shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form, together with any duly executed transmittal materials included with the Election Form, by the Election Deadline. An Election Form will be properly completed only if accompanied by Certificates representing all shares of Company Common Stock covered thereby, subject to the provisions of subsection (i) below of this Section 2.5. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting such Election Form to the Exchange Agent by written notice to the Exchange Agent only if such notice is actually received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline. The Certificate or Certificates relating to any revoked Election Form shall be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting the Election Form to the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine when any election, modification or revocation is received and whether any such election, modification or revocation has been properly made and to disregard any immaterial defects in any Election Form and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither Home Bancorp, the Holding Company nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form. In addition, in the event this Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Date, the Exchange Agent shall promptly return any Certificate or Certificates to any Person who submitted an Election Form.

Table of Contents

(d) As soon as practicable after the Election Deadline, and provided that the Company has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent all information which is necessary for the Exchange Agent to perform its obligations as specified herein, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates who has not previously surrendered such Certificate or Certificates with a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.3 and this Section 2.5. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a certificate representing that number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock (if any) to which such former holder of Company Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) a check representing that amount of cash (if any) to which such former holder of Company Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to this Agreement and/or (iii) a check representing the amount of cash (if any) payable in lieu of a fractional share of Holding Company Common Stock which such former holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to this Agreement, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(e) Within five (5) Business Days after the later to occur of the Election Deadline or the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall effect the allocation among holders of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time of rights to receive Holding Company Common Stock or cash in the Merger in accordance with the Election Forms as follows:

(i) If the number of Cash Election Shares (including Dissenting Shares) times the Per Share Cash Consideration is less than the Aggregate Cash Consideration, then:

(A) all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive cash,

(B) No-Election Shares shall then be deemed to be Cash Election Shares to the extent necessary to have the total number of Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Consideration equal the Aggregate Cash Consideration. If less than all of the No-Election Shares need to be treated as Cash Election Shares, the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis as described below in Section 2.5(f) a sufficient number of No-Election Shares into Cash Election Shares (“Reallocated No-Election Shares”) such that the sum of the number of Cash Election Shares plus the number of Reallocated No-Election Shares equals the Aggregate Cash Consideration.

(C) If all of the No-Election Shares are treated as Cash Election Shares under the preceding subsection and the total number of Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Consideration is less than the Aggregate Cash Consideration, then the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis as described below in Section 2.5(f) a sufficient number of Stock Election Shares into Cash Election Shares (“Reallocated Cash Shares”) such that the sum of the number of Cash Election Shares plus the number of Reallocated Cash Shares times the Per Share Cash Consideration equals the Aggregate Cash Consideration, and all Reallocated Cash Shares will be converted into the right to receive cash, and

A-9

Table of Contents

(D) the Stock Election Shares which are not Reallocated Cash Shares shall be converted into the right to receive Holding Company Common Stock.

(ii) If the number of Cash Election Shares (including Dissenting Shares) times the Per Share Cash Consideration is greater than the Aggregate Cash Consideration, then:

(A) all Stock Election Shares and all No-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive Holding Company Common Stock,

(B) the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis as described below in Section 2.5(f) a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) (“Reallocated Stock Shares”) such that the number of remaining Cash Election Shares (including Dissenting Shares) times the Per Share Cash Consideration equals the Aggregate Cash Consideration, and all Reallocated Stock Shares shall be converted into the right to receive Holding Company Common Stock, and

(C) the Dissenting Shares and the Cash Election Shares which are not Reallocated Stock Shares shall be converted into the right to receive cash.

(iii) If the number of Cash Election Shares (including Dissenting Shares) times the Per Share Cash Consideration is equal to the Aggregate Cash Consideration, then subparagraphs (e)(i) and (ii) above shall not apply and all No-Election Shares and all Stock Election Shares will be converted into the right to receive Holding Company Common Stock and all Cash Election Shares will be converted into the right to receive cash.

(f) In the event that the Exchange Agent is required pursuant to Section 2.5(e)(i)(C) to convert some Stock Election Shares into Reallocated Cash Shares, each holder of Stock Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Cash Shares. Such proration shall reflect the proportion that the number of Stock Election Shares of each holder of Stock Election Shares bears to the total number of Stock Election Shares. In the event the Exchange Agent is required pursuant to Section 2.5(e)(ii)(B) to convert some Cash Election Shares into Reallocated Stock Shares, each holder of Cash Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Stock Shares. Such proration shall reflect the proportion that the number of Cash Election Shares of each holder of Cash Election Shares bears to the total number of Cash Election Shares. In the event the Exchange Agent is required pursuant to Section 2.5(e)(i)(B) to convert some No-Election Shares into Reallocated No-Election Shares, each holder of No-Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated No-Election Shares. Such proration shall reflect the proportion that the number of No-Election Shares of each holder of No-Election Shares bears to the total number of No-Election Shares.

(g) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Holding Company shall (i) reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock and deliver to the Exchange Agent certificates evidencing such number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock issuable and (ii) deliver to the Exchange Agent the amount of cash payable in the Merger (which shall be held by the Exchange Agent in trust for the holders of Company Common Stock). No later than five (5) Business Days after the later to occur of the Election Deadline or the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall distribute Holding Company Common Stock and cash as provided herein. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the shares of Holding Company Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such shares for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.

(h) After the completion of the foregoing allocation, each former holder of a Certificate or Certificates, other than with respect to any Dissenting Shares, who has surrendered such Certificate or Certificates to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms hereof will, upon acceptance thereof by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of Holding Company Common Stock and/or the amount of cash into which the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and, if such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock have been converted into Holding Company Common Stock, any other distribution theretofore paid with respect to Holding Company Common Stock issuable in the Merger including cash payable in lieu of a fractional share, in each case without interest. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. Each outstanding Certificate which prior to the Effective Time represented Company Common Stock and which is not surrendered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the procedures provided for herein shall, except for any Dissenting Shares and as otherwise herein provided, until duly surrendered to the Exchange Agent be deemed to evidence the right to receive the number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock or the right to receive the amount of cash into which such Company Common Stock shall have been converted. After the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further transfer on the stock transfer books of the Company of Certificates and if such Certificates are presented to the Holding Company for transfer, they shall be cancelled against delivery of certificates for Holding Company Common Stock or cash as hereinabove provided. No dividends which have been declared will be remitted to any Person entitled to receive shares of Holding Company Common Stock under this Section 2.5 until such Person surrenders the Certificate or Certificates, at which time such dividends shall be remitted to such Person, without interest.

Table of Contents

(i) The Holding Company shall not be obligated to deliver cash and/or a certificate or certificates representing shares of Holding Company Common Stock to which a holder of Certificates would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificate or Certificates for exchange as provided in this Section 2.5, or, in lieu thereof, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond as may be required by the Holding Company. If any certificates evidencing shares of Holding Company Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the Certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other tax required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Holding Company Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(j) Any portion of the shares of the Holding Company Common Stock and cash delivered to the Exchange Agent by the Holding Company pursuant to Section 2.5(g) that remains unclaimed by the former shareholders of the Company for six months after the Effective Time (as well as any proceeds from any investment thereof), at the request of the Holding Company, shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to the Holding Company. After delivery to the Holding Company, any former shareholders of the Company who have not theretofore complied with Section 2.5(h) shall thereafter look only to the Holding Company for the consideration deliverable in respect of each Certificate such Person holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement without any interest thereon. If Certificates are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such shares of the Holding Company Common Stock or cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable law, become the property of the Holding Company (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any Party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of any Certificate for any consideration paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. The Holding Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of the Company to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive the Merger Consideration, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate, the Holding Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any Merger Consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(k) The Holding Company (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts as the Holding Company is required to deduct and withhold under applicable law. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Holding Company.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Certificates surrendered for exchange by any Company Affiliate shall not be exchanged for certificates representing shares of Holding Company Common Stock to which such Company Affiliate may be entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until the Holding Company has received a written agreement from such person as specified in Section 5.14 in the form of Appendix K hereto.

2.6	Fractional Shares

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of Holding Company Common Stock shall be issued to holders of Company Common Stock. In lieu thereof, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to a fraction of a share of Holding Company Common Stock shall, at the time of surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such holder’s shares, receive an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the Final Purchase Price. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of fractional shares.

2.7

Options

(a) At the Effective Time, each Company Option which is then outstanding, whether or not exercisable, shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into a right to purchase shares of Holding Company Common Stock, and the Holding Company shall assume each Company Option, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Option Plan and stock option or other agreement by which it is evidenced, except that from and after the Effective Time, (i) the Holding Company and either its Board of Directors or a committee consisting solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors, as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3) under the Exchange Act, shall be substituted for the Company and the committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (including, if applicable, the entire Board of Directors of the Company) administering such Company Option Plan, (ii) the number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option shall be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, provided that any fractional shares of Holding Company Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share, and (iii) the per share exercise price under each such Company Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such Company Option by the Exchange Ratio, provided that such exercise price shall be rounded up to the nearest cent. Notwithstanding clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, each Company Option which is an “incentive stock option” shall be adjusted as required by Sections 409A and 424 of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option within the meaning of Sections 409A and 424(h) of the Code. The Holding Company and the Company shall take all necessary steps to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7(a) including in the case of the Holding Company taking all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the options to issue shares of Holding Company Common Stock issued in accordance herewith.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than 10 Business Days, the Holding Company shall deliver to each participant in each Company Option Plan an appropriate notice setting forth such participant’s rights pursuant thereto and the grants subject to such Company Option Plan shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions, including without limitation the duration thereof, subject to the adjustments required by Section 2.7(a) hereof after giving effect to the Merger. Within five Business Days after the Effective Time, the Holding Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate forms), with respect to the shares of Holding Company Common Stock subject to such Company Options and shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein for so long as such options remain outstanding.

(c) With respect to those individuals who, subsequent to the Merger, will be subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, where applicable, the Holding Company shall administer the Company Stock Option Plans in a manner consistent with the exemptions provided by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

5.7	Certain Actions

(a) The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and each such Subsidiary’s directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company further agrees that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and each such Subsidiary’s directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company, from complying with its disclosure obligations under federal or state law, and, if and only if the Company Meeting shall not have occurred, from (A) providing information in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal if the Board of Directors of the Company receives from the Person so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement the terms of which are substantially identical to those of the confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company and Home Bancorp dated May 31, 2007; (B) engaging in any negotiations or discussions with any Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal or (C) recommending such an Acquisition Proposal to the shareholders of the Company, if and only to the extent that, in each such case referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) above, (i) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that such action would be required in order for its directors to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable law and (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor) that such Acquisition Proposal, if accepted, is reasonably likely to be consummated, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal and would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s shareholders from a financial point of view than the Merger. An Acquisition Proposal which is received and considered by the Company in compliance with this Section 5.7 and which meets the requirements set forth in clause (C) of the preceding sentence is herein referred to as a “Superior Proposal.” The Company agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposals. The Company agrees that it will notify Home Bancorp immediately if any such inquiries, proposals or offers are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its representatives.

Table of Contents

(b) In the event that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and upon advice from outside counsel, that it has received a Superior Proposal, it shall notify Home Bancorp in writing of its intent to terminate this Agreement and concurrently with or after such termination cause the Company to enter into an acquisition agreement with respect to, or recommend acceptance of, the Superior Proposal. Such notice shall specify all of the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identify the Person making such Superior Proposal. Home Bancorp shall have five business days to evaluate and respond to the Company’s notice. If Home Bancorp notifies the Company in writing prior to the expiration of the five business day period provided above that it shall increase the Merger Consideration to an amount at least equal to that of such Superior Proposal (the “Home Bancorp Proposal”), then the Company shall not be permitted to enter into an acquisition agreement with respect to, or permit its Board to recommend acceptance to its shareholders of, such Superior Proposal. Such notice by Home Bancorp shall specify the new Merger Consideration. The Company shall have five business days to evaluate the Home Bancorp Proposal.

(c) In the event the Superior Proposal involves consideration to the Company’s shareholders consisting of securities, in whole or in part, a Home Bancorp Proposal shall be deemed to be at least equal to the Superior Proposal, if the Home Bancorp Proposal offers Merger Consideration that equals or exceeds the consideration being offered to the Company’s shareholders in the Superior Proposal valuing any securities forming a part of the Superior Proposal at its cash equivalent based upon (a) the average trading price of such securities for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of the Home Bancorp Proposal or (b) the written valuation of such securities by a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected if such securities are not traded on a nationally recognized exchange or will be newly issued securities that are not of a class then trading on a nationally recognized exchange. Any written valuation shall be attached as an exhibit to the Home Bancorp Proposal.

(d) In the event that the Board of the Company determines in good faith, upon the advice of its financial advisor and outside counsel, that the Home Bancorp Proposal is not at least equal to the Superior Proposal, the Company can terminate this Agreement in order to execute an acquisition agreement with respect to, or to allow its Board to adopt a resolution recommending acceptance to the Company’s shareholders of, the Superior Proposal as provided in Section 7.1(h).

5.8	Current Information

During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, each of Home Bancorp and the Company shall, upon the request of the other party, cause one or more of its designated representatives to confer on a monthly or more frequent basis with representatives of the other party regarding its financial condition, operations and business and matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby.

As soon as reasonably available, but in no event more than 45 days after December 31, 2007, the Company will deliver to Home Bancorp audited statements of consolidated balance sheets (including related notes and schedules, if any) of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows (including related notes and schedules, if any) of the Company for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. The Company also will deliver to Home Bancorp each Call Report filed by the Bank with the FDIC and any financial information filed by the Company with the FRB, including but not limited to FR Y-6 and FR Y-9SP, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, concurrently with the filing of such Call Report or information with the FRB, as applicable.

5.9	Indemnification; Insurance

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Holding Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall provide indemnification to any present or former director, officer or employee of the Company and each Company Subsidiary, in each case determined as of the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”), with respect to any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, if first asserted or claimed prior to the date hereof and Previously Disclosed, if first asserted or claimed between the date hereof and the Effective Time and disclosed pursuant to Section 5.16 hereof or if first asserted or claimed after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent, if any, that such Indemnified Party would have been entitled to indemnification by the Company or any Company Subsidiary under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as Previously Disclosed, provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such claim, and provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall extend or be deemed a waiver of any applicable statute of limitations in respect of any claim or claim for indemnification. Without limiting the foregoing, all limitations of liability existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 5.9(a), upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party if such failure does not materially prejudice the Indemnifying Party. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay, promptly as statements therefor are received, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties (which may not exceed one firm in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest) in accordance with the obligations set forth in Section 5.9(a) hereof, (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation hereunder in the event a federal banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final and nonappealable, that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable law.

(c) The Holding Company shall maintain the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or purchase an insurance policy providing coverage on substantially the same terms and conditions) for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time by persons who are currently covered by such insurance policy maintained by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for a period of six years following the Effective Time, provided, however, that in no event shall the Holding Company be required to expend on an annual basis more than 150% of the amount paid by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the date hereof for such insurance coverage (the “Insurance Amount”) to maintain or procure such insurance coverage, and further provided that if the Holding Company is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for hereby, the Holding Company shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for the Insurance Amount. At the request of the Holding Company, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to procure the insurance coverage referred to in the preceding sentence prior to the Effective Time.

(d) In the event that the Holding Company or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case the successors and assigns of such entity shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9, which obligations are expressly intended to be for the irrevocable benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each director and officer covered hereby and the heirs and estates thereof.

5.11	Employees and Employee Benefit Plans

(a) All employees of the Company, the Bank or any other Company Subsidiary as of the Effective Time (collectively, “Company Employees”) shall become employees of the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary as of the Effective Time, provided that, other than as provided by Section 5.11(f) hereof, the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary shall have no obligation to continue the employment of any such person and nothing contained in this Agreement shall give any employee of the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary a right to continuing employment with the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary after the Effective Time. To the extent that the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary terminates the employment of any Company, Bank, Home Bancorp or Home Federal Employee (other than those employees, if any, who receive payments pursuant to Section 5.11(d) hereof), other than for cause, within six months following the Effective Time, the Holding Company shall, or shall cause a Holding Company Subsidiary to, provide severance benefits in a cash amount as mutually agreed to by Home Bancorp and the Company, provided, however that in no event shall the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary have any obligation to provide severance benefits to any Company Employee whose termination of employment occurs due to resignation or discharge for cause or who is entitled to severance benefits or the equivalent thereof under the terms of an individual contract with the Company or the Bank.

(b) Each Company Employee who remains employed by the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary following the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) shall be entitled to participate in (i) such of the employee benefit plans, deferred compensation arrangements, bonus or incentive plans and other compensation and benefit plans that the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary may continue for the benefit of Continuing Employees following the Effective Time and (ii) whatever employee benefit plans and other compensation and benefit plans (other than any stock option or restricted stock grant plan implemented by the Holding Company or assumed thereby from Home Bancorp) that the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary may maintain for the benefit of its similarly situated employees on an equitably equivalent basis, if such Continuing Employee is not otherwise then participating in a similar plan described in Section 5.11(c) hereof. The parties hereto acknowledge that Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in the stock option plan and the recognition and retention restricted stock plan anticipated to be implemented by the Holding Company within one year subsequent to the Effective Time (subject to receipt of necessary corporate, regulatory and shareholder approval) based upon the same criteria as other employees of Home Federal or the Holding Company and the level of grants shall give due regard to, among other factors, relative levels of title, duties, salary and other compensation and benefits.

(c) (i) At the Effective Time, the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary shall become the plan sponsor of each Company Employee Plan. The Company agrees to take or cause to be taken such actions as the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary may reasonably request to give effect to such assumption. The Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary shall have the right and power at any time following the Effective Time to amend or terminate or cease benefit accruals under any Company Employee Plan or cause it to be merged with or its assets and liabilities to be transferred to a similar plan maintained by it.

(ii) For purposes of its employee benefit plans, the Holding Company and each Holding Company Subsidiary shall treat Continuing Employees as new employees, but shall amend its plans to provide credit for all purposes (other than benefit accrual) for each Continuing Employee’s service with the Company, the Bank and any other Subsidiary of the Company to the extent that such service was recognized for similar purposes under the Company Employee Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time. Continuing Employees and their covered dependents will not be deprived of any partial or complete coverage under any employee benefit plan of the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary (which provides the type of benefits similar to benefits under any Company Employee Plan) because of any waiting period or pre-existing condition or previous medical treatments, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition or previous medical treatments were excluded from coverage under a Company Employee Plan, in which case this Section 5.11(c)(ii) shall not require coverage for such pre-existing condition or previous medical treatments to the same extent such coverage was excluded under a Company Employee Plan. To the extent that the initial period of coverage for Continuing Employees under any employee benefit plan of the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA overlaps with the 12 months coverage period of an applicable Company Employee Plan, Continuing Employees shall be given credit during the initial period of coverage for any deductibles and coinsurance payments made by Continuing Employees under any Company Employee Plan during any partial period. The Holding Company and each Holding Company Subsidiary shall use their best efforts (including making any amendments) to require that any lifetime limitation on benefits under any welfare benefit plan of the Holding Company or a Holding Company Subsidiary shall be applied without regard to benefits received under the Company’s welfare benefit plans on account of claims arising prior to the Effective Time.

(d) At and following the Effective Time, Home Federal shall honor, and the Holding Company shall continue to be obligated to perform, in accordance with their terms, all benefit obligations to, and contractual rights of, current and former employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries existing as of the Effective Time, as well as all employment, severance, deferred compensation or “change-in-control” agreements, plans or policies of the Company which are Previously Disclosed, other than any contractual rights which are superseded by the terms of the new employment agreements being entered into as of the Effective Time pursuant to Section 5.11(f) hereof.

(e) The Company shall (1) take any actions necessary to cause the KSOP to be terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the consummation of the Merger, and for the balances in all Participants’ Aggregate Accounts (as defined in the KSOP) to become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the date of termination; (2) cause the account balances of all KSOP participants to be distributed in a lump sum (or transferred in accordance with Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) as soon as practicable following the later of (a) the Effective Time or (b) the date of a receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding the qualified status of the KSOP upon its termination; and (3) adopt amendment(s) to the KSOP, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Home Bancorp, as may be requested by the IRS in connection with the request for a determination letter. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall file a request for a determination letter from the IRS regarding the continued qualified status of the KSOP upon its termination. Prior to the Effective Time, Company and, following the Effective Time, the Holding Company shall use their respective best efforts to obtain such favorable determination letter (including, but not limited to, making such changes to the KSOP as may be requested by the IRS as a condition to its issuance of a favorable determination letter). In addition, not later than the Effective Time, the Holding Company or Home Federal, as applicable, shall make any amendments necessary to its 401(k) plan or ESOP, as applicable to allow a direct rollover to such plans of amounts distributed under the KSOP excluding a direct rollover of any participant’s account subject to one or more loans that are outstanding under the KSOP unless such loans are satisfied in full prior to such direct rollover.

(f) (i) As of the Effective Time, Home Federal and the Holding Company shall enter into employment agreements with Messrs. Daniel R. Herndon and Ron C. Boudreaux in the forms attached hereto as Appendix F, Appendix G, Appendix H and Appendix I, respectively, or in such form as such employment agreements are revised in connection with the review by Governmental Entities of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) immediately prior to or as of the Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement dated June 13, 2006 by and among the Company, the Bank and Ron C. Boudreaux will be terminated in accordance with the terms of the First Amendment thereto dated December 11, 2007 and (iii) Amendment Number Two to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan of the Bank will have been adopted and remain in full force and effect.

(g) With respect to each Company Employee Benefit Plan subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Company agrees to amend each such plan or cause each such plan to be amended to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code (or to cause such plan, in whole or in part, to avoid the application of Section 409A of the Code by preserving the terms of such plan, and the law in effect, for benefits vested as of December 31, 2004) prior to the Effective Time. Such amendments shall be provided to Home Bancorp and its counsel a reasonable time prior to their proposed adoption by the Company or the Bank and shall be subject to the prior consent of Home Bancorp, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

5.12	Bank Merger

Home Bancorp, Home Federal, the Holding Company and the Company shall take, and the Company shall cause the Bank to take, all necessary and appropriate actions, including causing the Bank and Home Federal to enter into a merger agreement (the “Bank Merger Agreement”), to cause the Bank to merge with and into Home Federal (the “Bank Merger”) immediately after the Effective Time in accordance with the requirements of all applicable laws of the OTS and regulations promulgated thereunder. Home Federal shall be the surviving corporation in the Bank Merger (the “Surviving Bank”), and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the OTS as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company. The directors and executive officers of the Surviving Bank upon consummation of the Bank Merger shall be the directors and executive officers of Home Federal immediately prior to the consummation of the Bank Merger, except as provided in Section 5.10 of this Agreement.

Board of Directors

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana

624 Market Street

Shreveport, LA 71101-3643

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (“Home Bancorp”), Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana (the “MHC”) and First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc. (“First Louisiana”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2007 pursuant to which First Louisiana will be merged with and into New Home Federal Bancorp, Inc.(“Holding Company”), a to be formed business corporation which shall be organized by Home Federal Savings and Loan Association (“Home Federal”) for the purposes of becoming the stock-form holding company of Home Federal upon the consummation of the Conversion and acquiring the Company pursuant to the terms of the Agreement (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, each share of Company common stock, other than certain shares as specified in the Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof (a) a cash amount equal to $28.00 (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) or (b) the number of shares of Holding Company commons stock equal to the quotient (the “Exchange Ratio”) determined by dividing (i) $28.00 by (ii) the Final Purchase Price of Holding Company common stock (or 2.8 shares assuming a Final Purchase Price of $10.00 per share) (the “Per Share Stock Consideration” and together with the Per Share Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. The other terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement. You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to Home Bancorp.

Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P., as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) the Agreement; (ii) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Home Bancorp that we deemed relevant; (iii) certain audited financial statements and other historical financial information of First Louisiana as provided by senior management of Home Bancorp that we deemed relevant; (iv) certain operating and financial information as provided by the management of Home Bancorp relating to Home Bancorp, its business and prospects; (v) certain operating and financial information as provided by the management of First Louisiana relating to First Louisiana, its business and prospects; (vi) the pro forma impact of the proposed conversion of the MHC from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of organization; (vii) the pro forma financial impact of the Merger on Home Bancorp, based on assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings determined by the senior management of Home Bancorp; (viii) the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for Home Bancorp’s common stock, including a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for Home Bancorp and similar publicly available information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; (viii) the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the commercial banking industry, to the extent publicly available; (ix) the current market environment generally and the banking environment in particular; and (x) such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we considered relevant. We also discussed with certain members of senior management of Home Bancorp, the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Home Bancorp and held similar discussions with certain members of senior management of First Louisiana regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of First Louisiana.

Table of Contents

In performing our review, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to us from public sources or that was provided to us by Home Bancorp and First Louisiana or its respective representatives and have assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering this opinion. We have further relied on the assurances of management of Home Bancorp and First Louisiana that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading. We have not been asked to and have not undertaken an independent verification of any of such information and we do not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. We did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Home Bancorp and First Louisiana or any of their subsidiaries, or the collectibility of any such assets, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. We did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Home Bancorp and First Louisiana nor have we reviewed any individual credit files relating to Home Bancorp and First Louisiana. We have assumed, with your consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both Home Bancorp and First Louisiana are adequate to cover such losses.

With respect to the respective prospects reviewed with the respective managements of Home Bancorp and First Louisiana and the anticipated transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments, expected cost savings and other synergies reviewed with the management of Home Bancorp and used by Sandler O’Neill in its analyses, Home Bancorp’s and First Louisiana’s managements confirmed to us that they reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of such respective management and we assumed that such performances would be achieved. We express no opinion as to such prospects or the assumptions on which they are based. We have also assumed that there has been no material change in Home Bancorp’s and First Louisiana’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to us. We have assumed in all respects material to our analysis that Home Bancorp and First Louisiana will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to our analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and all related agreements are true and correct, that each party to the agreements will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under the agreements, that the conditions precedent in the agreements are not waived and that the Merger will be a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Finally, with your consent, we have relied upon the advice Home Bancorp has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect this opinion. We have not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date hereof. We are expressing no opinion herein as to what the value of Holding Company’s common stock will be when issued to First Louisiana’s shareholders pursuant to the Agreement or the prices at which Home Bancorp’s or Holding Company’s common stock may trade at any time.

We have acted as Home Bancorp’s financial advisor in connection with the Merger and will receive a fee for our services, a substantial portion of which is contingent upon consummation of the Merger. We will also receive a fee for rendering this Opinion, which is due upon our rendering of the Opinion. Home Bancorp has also agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. As you are aware, we are representing the MHC in its Conversion from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of organization and will receive a fee for those services.

This Opinion has been approved by Sandler O’Neill’s fairness opinion committee. We do not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the Merger by the company’s officers, directors, or employees, or class of such persons, relative to the compensation to be received in the Merger by any other shareholders of the company.

Our opinion is directed to the Board of Directors of Home Bancorp in connection with its consideration of the Merger and is directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to Home Bancorp and does not address the underlying business decision of Home Bancorp to engage in the Merger, the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any other alternative business strategies that might exist for Home Bancorp or the effect of any other transaction in which Home Bancorp might engage.

Board of Directors

First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc.

P.O. Box 52079

Shreveport, Louisiana 71135

Members of the Board:

National Capital Corporation (“National Capital”) has been engaged by the board of directors of First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) to provide a fairness opinion on the consideration to be paid to shareholders as a result of the proposed Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana and First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc.

In rendering this fairness opinion, we reviewed, analyzed and relied upon certain financial and other factors as we deemed appropriate under the circumstances, including, among others:

the proposed Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana and First Louisiana Bancshares, Inc.;

the Company’s historical and current financial position and results of operations, including information related to interest income, interest expense, net interest margin, net non-interest margin, provision for loan losses, non-interest income, non-interest expense, earnings, dividends, book value, intangible assets, return on assets, return on shareholders’ equity, capitalization, the amount and type of non-performing assets, loan losses and the reserve for loan losses, all as set forth in the Company’s financial statements;

the Company’s assets and liabilities, on a consolidated basis, including the loan, investment and mortgage portfolios, deposits, other liabilities, historical and current liability sources, costs and liquidity;

results of the Company’s recent regulatory examinations;

the Company’s future earnings and dividend paying capacity;

certain other publicly available financial and other information concerning the Company;

the general economic, market and financial conditions affecting the operations and business prospects of the Company and Home Federal;

Home Federal’s pro forma consolidated financial projections;

Home Federal’s plan of conversion, encompassing the transactions whereby Home Federal will convert from the mutual to the stock form of organization;

10.

the competitive and economic outlook for the Company’s trade area and the banking industry in general; and

11.

publicly available information concerning certain other banks and bank holding companies, the trading markets and prevailing market prices for their securities, and the nature and terms of certain other merger or share exchange transactions involving banks or bank holding companies.

We also used our experience in securities valuation and knowledge of financial institutions, including banks, bank holding companies and other financial institutions in determining the fairness of the proposed transaction. This opinion is based upon conditions as they existed, and could be evaluated, on the date of the opinion and upon information made available to National Capital through that date.

In rendering our appraisal and fairness opinion, we relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information provided to us or publicly available, and did not attempt to independently verify the information. National Capital is not an expert in the independent verification of the adequacy of loan and lease losses and assumed, without independent verification, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses is adequate to cover the losses. National Capital did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of the properties of the Company, nor did we examine any individual loan credit files.

Fairness Opinion

Page 2 of 2

We have been retained by the board of directors of the Company to act as an independent financial advisor to the Company in connection with the proposed transaction and will receive a fee from the Company for our services, no portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the proposed transaction or the analysis, opinions or conclusions expressed in this letter.

Our opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions as of the date set forth above, and on the information made available to us. Our opinion does not address the merits of the underlying decision by the Company to engage in the proposed transaction and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of the Company as to how such shareholder should vote on the transaction or any other matter related thereto. We have not considered, nor are we expressing any opinion herein with respect to, the prices at which shares of Company stock will trade at any time prior to the completion of the transaction. Neither are we expressing any opinion with respect to the prices at which shares of the merged institution will trade after the completion of the transaction.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof, the consideration to be paid to shareholders of the Company as set forth in the proposed transaction, is fair, from a financial point of view, to all shareholders of the Company, including those shareholders who are not directors or executive officers of the Company.

This opinion is available for disclosure to the shareholders of the Company. Accordingly, we hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion and the reference to our firm in the proxy statement provided to the shareholders of the Company.

Sincerely,

National Capital Corporation

LOUISIANA REVISED STATUTES

TITLE 12. CORPORATIONS AND ASSOCIATIONS

CHAPTER 1. BUSINESS CORPORATION LAW

PART 13. DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS, FAIR PRICE PROTECTION, AND

CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITION

§ 12:131. Rights of a shareholder dissenting from certain corporate actions

A. Except as provided in Subsection B of this Section, if a corporation has, by vote of its shareholders, authorized a sale, lease or exchange of all of its assets, or has, by vote of its shareholders, become a party to a merger or consolidation, then, unless such authorization or action shall have been given or approved by at least eighty per cent of the total voting power, a shareholder who voted against such corporate action shall have the right to dissent. If a corporation has become a party to a merger pursuant to R.S. 12:112(G), the shareholders of any subsidiaries party to the merger shall have the right to dissent without regard to the proportion of the voting power which approved the merger and despite the fact that the merger was not approved by vote of the shareholders of any of the corporations involved.

B. The right to dissent provided by this Section shall not exist in the case of:

(1) A sale pursuant to an order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises.

(2) A sale for cash on terms requiring distribution of all or substantially all of the net proceeds to the shareholders in accordance with their respective interests within one year after the date of the sale.

(3) Shareholders holding shares of any class of stock which, at the record date fixed to determine shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of shareholders at which a merger or consolidation was acted on, were listed on a national securities exchange, or were designated as a national market system security on an inter-dealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, unless the articles of the corporation issuing such stock provide otherwise or, except in the case of shareholders of a corporation surviving the merger or consolidation in which each share of such corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation is an identical outstanding or treasury share of such corporation after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the shares of such shareholders were not converted by the merger or consolidation solely into shares of the surviving or new corporation.

C. (1) (a) Except as provided in Paragraph (4) of this Subsection, any shareholder electing to exercise such right of dissent shall file with the corporation, prior to or at the meeting of shareholders at which such proposed corporate action is submitted to a vote, a written objection to such proposed corporate action, and shall vote his shares against such action. If such proposed corporate action be taken by the required vote, but by less than eighty percent of the total voting power, and the merger, consolidation or sale, lease or exchange of assets authorized thereby be effected, the corporation shall promptly thereafter give written notice thereof to each shareholder who filed such written objection to, and voted his shares against, such action, at such shareholder's last address on the corporation's records.

(b) An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(2) Each such shareholder may, within twenty days after the mailing of such notice to him, but not thereafter, file with the corporation a demand in writing for the fair cash value of his shares as of the day before such vote was taken; provided that he state in such demand the value demanded, and a post office address to which the reply of the corporation may be sent, and at the same time deposit in escrow in a chartered bank or trust company located in the parish of the registered office of the corporation, the certificates representing his shares, duly endorsed and transferred to the corporation upon the sole condition that said certificates shall be delivered to the corporation upon payment of the value of the shares determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section. With his demand the shareholder shall deliver to the corporation, the written acknowledgment of such bank or trust company that it so holds his certificates of stock.

(3) Unless the objection, demand, and acknowledgment are made and delivered by the shareholder within the period limited in Paragraphs (1) and (2), he shall conclusively be presumed to have acquiesced in the corporate action proposed or taken.

D-1

Table of Contents

(4) In the case of a merger pursuant to R.S. 12:112(G), the dissenting shareholder need not file an objection with the corporation nor vote against the merger, but need only file with the corporation within twenty days after a copy of the merger certificate was mailed to him, a demand in writing for the cash value of his shares as of the day before the certificate was filed with the secretary of state, state in such demand the value demanded and a post office address to which the corporation's reply may be sent, deposit the certificates representing his shares in escrow as provided in Paragraph (2), and deliver to the corporation with his demand the acknowledgment of the escrow bank or trust company as prescribed in Paragraph (2).

D. If the corporation does not agree to the value so stated and demanded, or does not agree that a payment is due, it shall, within twenty days after receipt of such demand and acknowledgment, notify in writing the shareholder, at the designated post office address, of its disagreement, and shall state in such notice the value it will agree to pay if any payment should be held to be due; otherwise it shall be liable for, and shall pay to the dissatisfied shareholder, the value demanded by him for his shares.

E. In case of disagreement as to such fair cash value, or as to whether any payment is due, after compliance by the parties with the provisions of subsections C and D of this section, the dissatisfied shareholder, within sixty days after receipt of notice in writing of the corporation's disagreement, but not thereafter, may file suit against the corporation, or the merged or consolidated corporation, as the case may be, in the district court of the parish in which the corporation or the merged or consolidated corporation, as the case may be, has its registered office, praying the court to fix and decree the fair cash value of the dissatisfied shareholder's shares as of the day before such corporate action complained of was taken, and the court shall, on such evidence as may be adduced in relation thereto, determine summarily whether any payment is due, and, if so, such cash value, and render judgment accordingly. Any shareholder entitled to file such suit may, within such sixty-day period but not thereafter, intervene as a plaintiff in such suit filed by another shareholder, and recover therein judgment against the corporation for the fair cash value of his shares. No order or decree shall be made by the court staying the proposed corporate action, and any such corporate action may be carried to completion notwithstanding any such suit. Failure of the shareholder to bring suit, or to intervene in such a suit, within sixty days after receipt of notice of disagreement by the corporation shall conclusively bind the shareholder (1) by the corporation's statement that no payment is due, or (2) if the corporation does not contend that no payment is due, to accept the value of his shares as fixed by the corporation in its notice of disagreement.

F. When the fair value of the shares has been agreed upon between the shareholder and the corporation, or when the corporation has become liable for the value demanded by the shareholder because of failure to give notice of disagreement and of the value it will pay, or when the shareholder has become bound to accept the value the corporation agrees is due because of his failure to bring suit within sixty days after receipt of notice of the corporation's disagreement, the action of the shareholder to recover such value must be brought within five years from the date the value was agreed upon, or the liability of the corporation became fixed.

G. If the corporation or the merged or consolidated corporation, as the case may be, shall, in its notice of disagreement, have offered to pay to the dissatisfied shareholder on demand an amount in cash deemed by it to be the fair cash value of his shares, and if, on the institution of a suit by the dissatisfied shareholder claiming an amount in excess of the amount so offered, the corporation, or the merged or consolidated corporation, as the case may be, shall deposit in the registry of the court, there to remain until the final determination of the cause, the amount so offered, then, if the amount finally awarded such shareholder, exclusive of interest and costs, be more than the amount offered and deposited as aforesaid, the costs of the proceeding shall be taxed against the corporation, or the merged or consolidated corporation, as the case may be; otherwise the costs of the proceeding shall be taxed against such shareholder.

H. Upon filing a demand for the value of his shares, the shareholder shall cease to have any of the rights of a shareholder except the rights accorded by this section. Such a demand may be withdrawn by the shareholder at any time before the corporation gives notice of disagreement, as provided in subsection D of this section. After such notice of disagreement is given, withdrawal of a notice of election shall require the written consent of the corporation. If a notice of election is withdrawn, or the proposed corporate action is abandoned or rescinded, or a court shall determine that the shareholder is not entitled to receive payment for his shares, or the shareholder shall otherwise lose his dissenter's rights, he shall not have the right to receive payment for his shares, his share certificates shall be returned to him (and, on his request, new certificates shall be issued to him in exchange for the old ones endorsed to the corporation), and he shall be reinstated to all his rights as a shareholder as of the filing of his demand for value, including any intervening preemptive rights, and the right to payment of any intervening dividend or other distribution, or, if any such rights have expired or any such dividend or distribution other than in cash has been completed, in lieu thereof, at the election of the corporation, the fair value thereof in cash as determined by the board as of the time of such expiration or completion, but without prejudice otherwise to any corporate proceedings that may have been taken in the interim.

B. Indemnification.

(i) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, including actions by or in the right of the Corporation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or such director or officer or former director or officer is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permissible under Louisiana law.

(ii) The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, including actions by or in the right of the Corporation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a employee or agent of the Corporation, or such employee or agent or former employee or agent is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permissible under Louisiana law.

Table of Contents

C. Advancement of Expenses. Reasonable expenses incurred by an officer, director, employee or agent of the Corporation in defending an action, suit or proceeding described in Section B of this Article 7 may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding if authorized by the board of directors (without regard to whether participating members thereof are parties to such action, suit or proceeding), upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.

D. Other Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or pursuant to this Article 7 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, insurance or other agreement, vote of shareholders or directors (regardless of whether directors authorizing such indemnification are beneficiaries thereof) or otherwise, both as to actions in their official capacity and as to actions in another capacity while holding an office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

E. Insurance. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance or other similar arrangement on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against or incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article 7.

H. Proceedings Initiated by Indemnified Persons or Settlement of Claim. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7, the Corporation shall not indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent for any liability incurred in an action, suit or proceeding initiated (which shall not be deemed to include counter claims or affirmative defenses) or participated in as an intervenor or amicus curiae by the person seeking indemnification unless such initiation of or participation in the action, suit or proceeding is authorized, either before or after its commencement, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors in office. The Corporation shall not be obligated to reimburse the amount of any settlement of any claim by any person unless it has agreed, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, to such settlement. If any person shall unreasonably fail to enter into a settlement of any proceeding within the scope of this Article 7, offered or assented to by the opposing party or parties and which is acceptable to the Corporation, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7, the indemnification obligation of the Corporation in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding shall be limited to the total of the amount at which settlement could have been made and the expenses incurred by such person prior to the time the settlement could reasonably have been effected.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

II-3

Table of Contents

(i) To include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 (b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Offering.

(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to furnish stock certificates to or in accordance with the instructions of the respective purchasers of the Common Stock, so as to make delivery to each purchaser promptly following completion of the offering.

II-4

Table of Contents

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
