What is the purpose of the annual meeting?

At our annual meeting, shareholders will act upon the election of directors and ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm.  In addition, management will report on the performance of Home Federal Bancorp and respond to questions from shareholders.

What are the Board of Directors' recommendations?

The recommendations of the Board of Directors are set forth under the description of each proposal in this proxy statement.  In summary, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the nominees for director described herein and FOR ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2016.

The proxy solicited hereby, if properly signed and returned to us and not revoked prior to its use, will be voted in accordance with your instructions.  If no contrary instructions are given, each proxy signed and received will be voted in the manner recommended by the Board of Directors and, upon the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, in accordance with the best judgment of the persons appointed as proxies.  Proxies solicited hereby may be exercised only at the annual meeting and any adjournment of the annual meeting and will not be used for any other meeting.

Who is entitled to vote?

Only our shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date for the meeting, September 29, 2015, are entitled to vote at the meeting. On the record date, we had 2,100,241 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no other class of equity securities outstanding.  For each issued and outstanding share of common stock you own on the record date, you will be entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the meeting, in person or by proxy.

Can I attend the meeting and vote my shares in person?

Yes. All shareholders are invited to attend the annual meeting.  Shareholders of record can vote in person at the annual meeting.  If your shares are held in "street name," then you are not the shareholder of record and you must ask your broker or other nominee how you can vote at the annual meeting.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I return my proxy card?

Yes.  If you are a shareholder of record, there are three ways you can change your vote or revoke your proxy after you have sent in your proxy card.

• First, you may complete and submit a new proxy card or vote by telephone or the Internet before the deadline printed on the card.  Any earlier proxies will be revoked automatically.

• Second, you may send a written notice to our Corporate Secretary, Ms. DeNell W. Mitchell, Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, 624 Market Street, Shreveport, Louisiana 71101, in advance of the meeting stating that you would like to revoke your proxy.

• Third, you may attend the annual meeting and vote in person.  Any earlier proxy will be revoked.  However, attending the annual meeting without voting in person will not revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held in "street name" and you have instructed a broker or other nominee to vote your shares, you must follow directions from your broker or other nominee to change your vote.

If my shares are held in "street name" by my broker, could my broker automatically vote my shares?

Your broker may vote in his or her discretion on the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm if you do not furnish instructions. If your broker votes in his or her discretion on proposal two and you do not provide instructions on the other proposal, then your shares will be considered "broker non-votes" on proposal one.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting will constitute a quorum.  Proxies received but marked as abstentions will be included in the calculation of the number of shareholders considered to be present at the meeting.

What vote is required to approve each item?

The election of directors will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast at the annual meeting.  The four nominees for director receiving the most "for" votes will be elected. The affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast is required for approval of the proposal to ratify the appointment of LaPorte, A Professional Accounting Corporation for the year ending June 30, 2016. Abstentions are considered in determining the presence of a quorum, but will not affect the vote on the proposals.

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Election of Directors (Proposal One)

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible.  The directors are elected by our shareholders for staggered three year terms and until their successors are elected and qualified.

Director Nominations

Nominations for director of Home Federal Bancorp are made by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates for director suggested by other directors, as well as our management and shareholders.  A shareholder who desires to recommend a prospective nominee for the Board should notify our Secretary in writing with whatever supporting material the shareholder considers appropriate.  In addition, any shareholder wishing to make a nomination must follow our procedures for shareholder nominations, which are described under "Shareholder Proposals, Nominations and Communications with the Board of Directors."

The charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee sets forth certain criteria the committee may consider when recommending individuals for nomination as director including: (a) ensuring that the Board of Directors, as a whole, is diverse and consists of individuals with various and relevant career experience, relevant technical skills, industry knowledge and experience, financial expertise (including expertise that could qualify a director as a "financial expert," as that term is defined by the rules of the SEC), local or community ties and (b) minimum individual qualifications, including strength of character, mature judgment, familiarity with our business and industry, independence of thought and an ability to work collegially.  The committee also may consider the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the Board of Directors.

Director Independence

A majority of Home Federal Bancorp's directors are independent directors as defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.  The Board of Directors has determined that Drs. Colquitt and Trawick and Messrs. Harrison, Humphrey, Lawrence and Wilhite are independent directors.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors is led by a Chairman selected by the Board from time to time.  Presently, Mr. Daniel Herndon, our Chief Executive Officer also serves as Chairman of the Board.  Mr. Barlow serves as our President and Chief Operating Officer and is a member of the Board and serves as co-principal executive officer with Mr. Herndon. The Board has determined that selecting our Chief Executive Officer as Chairman is in our best interests because it promotes unity of vision for the leadership of Home Federal Bancorp and avoids potential conflicts among directors.  In addition, as Chief Executive Officer Mr. Herndon is familiar with our business and operations and is well situated to lead discussions on important matters affecting the business of Home Federal Bancorp. By combining the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman positions there is a firm link between management and the Board which promotes the development and implementation of our corporate strategy. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Employment and Transition Agreement between Home Federal Bancorp and Mr. Herndon, discussed further under "Management Compensation – Employment Agreements," commencing January 1, 2016, Mr. Herndon will serve as Executive Chairman of the Board and no longer serve as Chief Executive Officer.

The Board of Directors is aware of the potential conflicts that may arise when an insider chairs the Board, but believes these are limited by existing safeguards which include the fact that as a financial institution holding company, much of our operations are highly regulated.

**   Chairman

Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee reviews with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the systems of internal control, reviews the annual financial statements, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K and monitors Home Federal Bancorp's adherence in accounting and financial reporting to generally accepted accounting principles.  The Audit Committee is comprised of three directors who are independent directors as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Directors has determined that no members of the Audit Committee meet the qualifications established for an Audit Committee financial expert in the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission; however, the members have the requisite financial and accounting background to meet the Nasdaq listing standards.  The Audit Committee met four times in fiscal 2015 and informally reviews our financial results on a quarterly basis.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  It is the responsibility of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in accordance with its charter to, among other functions, review the qualifications of director nominees.  The Committee approves nominees for consideration by the full Board of Directors to fill vacancies on the Board or for election at the annual meeting.  The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met once during fiscal 2015.

Compensation Committee.  It is the responsibility of the Compensation Committee of Home Federal Bancorp to set the compensation of Home Federal Bancorp's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as well as the other members of senior management.  The Compensation Committee of Home Federal Bancorp met three times in fiscal 2015.

Board's Role in Risk Oversight

Risk is inherent with every business, particularly financial institutions. We face a number of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputational risk.  Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks Home Federal Bancorp faces, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board of Directors ensures that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.

Members of senior management regularly attend meetings of the Board of Directors and address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk management or other matters. The Board's risk oversight function is carried out through, among other factors, its review and approval of various policies and procedures, such as Home Federal Bank's lending and investment policies, ratification or approval of investments and loans exceeding certain thresholds, and regular review of risk elements such as interest rate risk exposure, liquidity and problem assets.

Directors' Attendance at Annual Meetings

Directors are expected to attend the annual meeting absent a valid reason for not doing so.  All of our directors attended, in person or by telephone, the annual meeting of shareholders held on November 12, 2014.

Employment Agreements

Home Federal Bank has entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. James R. Barlow and an amended and restated employment and transition agreement with Mr. Daniel R. Herndon, in each case effective as of January 1, 2013.  The employment agreements amend and restate prior employment agreements between Home Federal Bank and each executive.  Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Herndon serves as Executive Chairman of the Board of Home Federal Bank for a fixed term of five years commencing on the effective date and ending on December 31, 2017, at which point Mr. Herndon will retire as Executive Chairman of the Board but will continue to serve as a director and receive board fees for his continued service thereafter.  Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Barlow serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Home Federal Bank for an initial term of three years commencing on the effective date, provided that the term of Mr. Barlow's agreement will be extended for an additional year on each January 1 during the term of the agreement, unless Home Federal Bank or Mr. Barlow gives notice to the other party of its or his intent not to extend the term of the agreement.  The agreements provided for initial base salaries of $148,101 and $193,950 per year for Messrs. Herndon and Barlow, respectively, provided that Mr. Herndon's base salary shall be reduced to $100,000 per year commencing on January 1, 2016, and shall remain unchanged for the last two years of his employment period.  Mr. Barlow's base salary may be increased at the discretion of the Board of Directors of Home Federal Bank but may not be decreased during the term of the agreements without the prior written consent of the executive.  Home Federal Bank also agreed to provide each of Messrs. Herndon and Barlow with an automobile during the term of the agreements.

The employment agreements with Messrs. Herndon and Barlow are terminable with or without cause by Home Federal Bank. The employment agreements provide that in the event of (y) termination of employment by  Home Federal Bank other than for cause, disability, retirement or death, or (z) termination by the executive for "good reason," as defined, in each case before or after a change in control, the executive would be entitled to (1) an amount of cash severance which is equal to three times his average annual compensation and (2) continued participation in certain employee benefit plans of Home Federal Bank until the earlier of 36 months or the date the executive receives substantially similar benefits from full-time employment with another employer.  The employment agreement with Home Federal Bank provides 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 Bank for federal income tax purposes.

Home Federal Bancorp entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Barlow to serve as President and Chief Operating Officer of Home Federal Bancorp, effective as of January 1, 2013, which is on terms substantially similar to the amended and restated employment agreement with Home Federal, except as follows.  The agreement with Home Federal Bancorp provides that severance payments payable to Mr. Barlow by Home Federal Bancorp shall include the amount by which the severance benefits payable by Home Federal 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 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 agreement with Home Federal Bancorp provides that Home Federal Bancorp shall reimburse Mr. Barlow for any resulting excise taxes payable by him, plus such additional amount as may be necessary to compensate him for the payment of state and federal income, excise and other employment-related taxes on the excise tax reimbursement. Under the agreements with Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank, Mr. Barlow's compensation, benefits and expenses will be paid by Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank in the same proportion as the time and services actually expended by Mr. Barlow on behalf of each of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank.

Home Federal Bancorp has also entered into an amended and restated employment and transition agreement with Mr. Herndon, effective January 1, 2013, to serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Home Federal Bancorp for a term of three years, after which he will serve as Executive Chairman of the Board for a period of two years commencing January 1, 2016.  Otherwise, the agreement with Home Federal Bancorp is on terms substantially similar to Mr. Herndon's agreement with Home Federal Bank, except as follows.  The agreement provides that severance payments payable to Mr. Herndon by Home Federal Bancorp shall include the amount by which the severance benefits payable by Home Federal Bank 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 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 agreement provides that Home Federal Bancorp shall reimburse Mr. Herndon for any resulting excise taxes payable by him, plus such additional amount as may be necessary to compensate him for the payment of state and federal income, excise and other employment-related taxes on the excise tax reimbursement. Under the agreements with Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank, Mr. Herndon's compensation, benefits and expenses will be paid by Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank in the same proportion as the time and services actually expended by the executive on behalf of each of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank.

Pursuant to an employment offer letter accepted by Mr. Glen W. Brown, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, on April 9, 2014, Mr. Brown's initial base salary was $150,000 and incentive bonus for fiscal 2015 was $15,000. Mr. Brown will participate in Home Federal Bank's 401(k) Plan and Employee Stock Ownership Plan when he meets the eligibility requirements and other group benefit plans maintained by Home Federal Bank. Home Federal Bancorp entered into a change in control agreement with Mr. Brown described below under "Change in Control Agreement."  Pursuant to the offer letter, on July 31, 2014, we granted 10,500 incentive stock options to Mr. Brown. The stock options are exercisable 20% per year commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the exercise price of the options will equal the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. We also awarded 3,500 shares of common stock under the recognition and retention plan. The stock awards vest at a rate of 20% per year commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

The Boards of Directors of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank approved an employment and transition agreement between Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Bank and Clyde D. Patterson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective as of January 1, 2013. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Patterson will serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank for a term of up to two years, will thereafter serve on a part-time or consultant basis through December 31, 2017, and will retire as of December 31, 2017.  The agreement provides for initial base compensation of $117,362 for the first two years and $60,000 per year commencing on January 1, 2015. In addition to other benefits generally available for employees of Home Federal, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal also agreed to provide Mr. Patterson with an automobile during the term of the agreement.

The agreement with Mr. Patterson is terminable with or without cause by Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank. The agreement provides that in the event of (y) termination of employment by Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank other than for cause, disability, retirement or death, or (z) termination by Mr. Patterson for "good reason," as defined, in each case before or after a change in control, Mr. Patterson would be entitled to (1) an amount of cash severance which is equal to two times the sum of his base compensation as of the date of termination if the date of termination was on or before December 31, 2014 and (2) if the date of termination is on or after January 1, 2015, the greater of the remaining base compensation under the agreement or $120,000. The agreement provides 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 Bancorp or Home Federal Bank for federal income tax purposes.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreements

Home Federal Bank also entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreements for the benefit of Messrs. Herndon and Patterson effective as of January 1, 2013. Under the terms of the agreements, after the target retirement date of December 31, 2017, Messrs. Herndon and Patterson will receive annual retirement benefits of $75,000 and $25,000, respectively, payable in equal annual installments of eight and ten years, respectively. In the event of retirement prior to December 31, 2017, with or without cause, Messrs. Herndon and Patterson would receive their accrued benefits through such date payable in a lump sum. In the event of death while in active service, the designated beneficiaries would receive a lump sum payment of the full retirement benefit. In the event of death after retirement, but before all payments have been made, any remaining benefits will be paid to the designated beneficiaries until all the annual installments have been paid. The retirement benefits are vesting ratably at 20% per year for five years beginning with the calendar year ended December 31, 2013.

Loan Officer Incentive Plan

Home Federal Bank adopted a Loan Officer Incentive Plan as an annual incentive compensation plan to reward participating loan officers with variable cash awards that are contingent upon the net interest income produced from the loan officer's identified loan portfolio.  Mr. Sawrie is our only named executive officer who participates in the plan.  Participants in the Loan Officer Incentive Plan are selected by the chief executive officer and president at the beginning of each fiscal year and recommended for approval by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors which administers the plan.

The terms of the Loan Officer Incentive Plan are reviewed annually and were amended in February 2015 to change the administration period to a calendar year basis and to more closely align the incentive compensation to the loan officer's book of business.  During fiscal 2015, participants in the Loan Officer Incentive Plan received a cash incentive award equal to 4% of the income base from loans originated by the particular loan officer prior to the beginning of the calendar year.  Participants also received a cash incentive award equal to 6% of the income base from the particular loan officer's growth in book of business (loan growth plus deposit growth) during the 12-month performance period which coincides with the calendar year.

Each year, the cumulative interest income from loans existing at the beginning of the performance period will be calculated.  Interest expense, equal to loan volume times our most recent average cost of funds, will be deducted from interest income to arrive at the loan officer's contribution amount for existing loans.  The loan officer's contribution is then multiplied by a loan portfolio rating (up to 100%) to calculate an income base.  The income base for existing loans is then multiplied by 4% to determine the cash incentive award from existing loans.

The cumulative interest income from growth in book of business (loan growth plus deposit growth) during the performance period is then calculated.  Interest expense, equal to loan volume plus deposit volume multiplied by our most recent average cost of funds, will be deducted from interest income to arrive at net interest income.  Loan origination fees associated with such newly originated loans shall be added to net interest income to arrive at the loan officer's contribution amount.  The loan officer's contribution is then multiplied by a loan portfolio rating (up to 100%) to calculate an income base.  The income base for new loans is then multiplied by 6% to determine the cash incentive award from growth in book of business during the performance period. A decline in book of business will result in a negative impact to cumulative interest income for the performance period. This will, in effect, lower the incentive payment allocated for existing loans.  The incentive awards from existing loans and growth in book of business are added to determine the total award payment.  Upon the approval of the compensation committee, we may pay estimated awards at intervals more frequently than annually, however, they are deemed earned on an annual basis and are subject to claw-back if the loan officer is not employed at December 31.

Retirement Benefits

Retirement benefits are an important element of a competitive compensation program for attracting senior executives, especially in the financial services industry. We froze our defined benefit pension plan in February 2003. Mr. Herndon is our only named executive officer with accrued benefits under the pension plan. Our executive compensation program currently includes (i) a 401(k) profit sharing plan which enables our employees to supplement their retirement savings with elective deferral contributions and with matching and discretionary contributions by us, and (ii) an employee stock ownership plan that allows participants to accumulate retirement benefits in the form of employer stock at no current cost to the participant.

401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan.  We adopted the Home Federal Bank Employees' Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust ("401(k) Plan") effective November 15, 2004.  To participate in the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees must have completed three months of full time service and attained age 21.  Participating employees may make elective salary reduction contributions of up to $17,500 of their eligible compensation for 2014.  Home Federal Bank will contribute a basic "safe harbor" contribution of 100% of the first 6%of plan salary elective deferrals.  We are also permitted to make discretionary contributions to be allocated to participant accounts.

13

Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  We established an employee stock ownership plan for our employees in connection with our mutual to stock conversion in 2005. We acquired additional shares in connection with our second-step conversion in 2010.  The shares were purchased by the employee stock ownership plan with funds borrowed from Home Federal Bancorp and are held in a suspense account and released for allocation as debt service payments are made.  Additional discretionary contributions may be made to the plan in either cash or shares of common stock, although we have no plans to do so at this time.  Shares released from the suspense account are allocated to each eligible participant's plan account pro rata based on compensation.  Forfeitures may be used for the payment of expenses or be reallocated among the remaining 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 the employee stock ownership plan.  Participants become 100% vested after three years of service. Participants also become fully vested in their account balances upon a change in control (as defined), death, disability or retirement.  Benefits may be payable upon retirement or separation from service.

Stock Option Plans and Recognition and Retention Plans

In August 2005, shareholders approved our 2005 Stock Option Plan and our 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan.  Pursuant to the terms of the 2005 Stock Option Plan, options to acquire up to 158,868 shares of common stock were available to be granted to employees and directors.  Pursuant to the terms of the 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan, awards of up to 63,547 shares of restricted common stock were available to be granted to employees and directors.  In December 2011, shareholders approved our 2011 Stock Option Plan and our 2011 Recognition and Retention Plan. On July 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee awarded the remaining available 31,311 stock options and 8,557 stock awards under our 2005 and 2011 plans such that no further awards are available for future grant under the 2005 and 2011 plans. In November 2014, shareholders approved the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan which provides for a total of 150,000 shares reserved for future issuance as stock awards or stock options. No more than 37,500 shares, or 25%, may be granted as stock awards. Under all of our stock benefit plans, awards may vest no faster than 20% per year, beginning one year from the date of grant.  However, under the plans, vesting of any award is accelerated upon the death or disability of a recipient or upon a change-in-control of Home Federal Bancorp. Outstanding stock awards and stock options for our named executive officers are reflected in the table "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End."

Survivor Benefit Plan

In June 2011, Home Federal Bank purchased bank owned life insurance on the lives of its employees. In consideration for entering into consent to insurance agreements, on July 13, 2011, Home Federal Bank entered into Survivor Benefit Plan Participation Agreements with employees including our named executive officers. The agreements provide that the officer's beneficiary will receive three times the officer's base salary if serving as an officer of Home Federal Bank at the date of death. The agreements may be amended or terminated at any time by Home Federal Bank as long as it does not reduce or delay any benefit payable to a participant whose death has already occurred.

Related Party Transactions

Home Federal Bank offers extensions of credit to its directors, officers and employees as well as members of their immediate families for the financing of their primary residences and other proposes.  These loans are made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to Home Federal Bank and none of such loans involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

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 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of Home Federal Bancorp's common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by regulation to furnish Home Federal Bancorp with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.  We know of no person who owns 10% or more of our common stock.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, or written representations from our officers and directors, we believe that during, and with respect to, the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, all of our officers and directors complied in all respects with the reporting requirements promulgated under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with the exception of Mr. Barber who was late filing one Form 4.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (PROPOSAL TWO)

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Home Federal Bancorp has appointed LaPorte, A Professional Accounting Corporation to perform the audit of our financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2016, and further directed that the selection of auditors be submitted for ratification by the shareholders at the annual meeting.

We have been advised by LaPorte that neither that firm nor any of its associates has any relationship with Home Federal Bancorp or its subsidiaries other than the usual relationship that exists between an independent registered public accounting firm and its clients.  LaPorte will have one or more representatives at the annual meeting who will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

In determining whether to appoint LaPorte as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee considered whether the provision of services, other than auditing services, by LaPorte is compatible with maintaining their independence.  In fiscal 2015 and 2014, LaPorte performed auditing services as well as reviewed our public filings.  The Audit Committee believes that LaPorte's performance of these services is compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm's independence.

Audit Fees

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees paid by us to LaPorte for professional services rendered by LaPorte in connection with the audit of Home Federal Bancorp's consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2015 and 2014, as well as the fees paid by us to LaPorte for audit-related services, tax services and all other services rendered by LaPorte to us during fiscal 2015 and 2014.

	Year Ended June 30,
	2015		2014
Audit fees(1)	$	79,150	$	93,700
Audit-related fees(2)		1,650		663
Tax fees		--		--
All other fees		--		--
Total	$	80,800	$	94,363

___________________

(1) Audit fees consist of fees incurred in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of the interim financial statements included in our quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as work generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, such as statutory audits, consents and assistance with and review of documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2) Audit-related fees for 2015 and 2014 consist of fees incurred in connection with accounting consultation and research.

The Audit Committee selects our independent registered public accounting firm and pre-approves all audit services to be provided by it to Home Federal Bancorp.  The Audit Committee also reviews and pre-approves all audit-related and non-audit related services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with the Audit Committee's charter.  In its review of these services and related fees and terms, the Audit Committee considers, among other things, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm.  The Audit Committee pre-approves certain audit-related services and certain non-audit related tax services which are specifically described by the Audit Committee on an annual basis and separately approves other individual engagements as necessary.

Each new engagement of LaPorte, A Professional Accounting Corporation was approved in advance by the Audit Committee or its Chair, and none of those engagements made use of the de minimis exception to pre-approval contained in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the ratification of the appointment

of LaPorte, A Professional Accounting Corporation for the

fiscal year ending June 30, 2016.
