HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)





Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report include the accounts of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Home Federal Bank (the "Bank").  The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and are unaudited.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005 ("2005 Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on December 9, 2005.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein.  The Company considers the allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, and deferred income taxes to be critical accounting estimates.

The accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period requiring management to make assumptions about future losses on loans.  The impact of a sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and potentially require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.



The most critical accounting policy associated with mortgage servicing is the methodology used to determine the fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, which requires the development of a number of estimates, the most critical of which is the mortgage loan prepayment speeds assumption.  The Company performs a quarterly review of mortgage servicing rights for potential declines in value.  This review may include an independent appraisal by an outside party of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights.



Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability approach as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the currently enacted tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of the existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company's income tax returns.



At March 31, 2006, there were no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in the Company's 2005 Form 10-K.



Note 3 - Mutual Holding Company Reorganization



On May 18, 2004, the Board of Directors of Home Federal
Savings and Loan Association of Nampa (the "Association") unanimously adopted a
Plan of Reorganization and Stock Issuance. At the special meeting of members of
the Association held on September 20, 2004, members approved the Plan of
Reorganization and Stock

<PAGE>

Issuance and the establishment of the Home Federal
Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation") by more than the required majority of the
total votes entitled to be cast at the special meeting.



Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization and Stock Issuance, the Association: (i) converted to a federal stock savings bank (Stock Savings Bank) as the successor to the Association in its current mutual form; (ii) organized a Stock Holding Company as a federally-chartered corporation that owns 100% of the common stock of the Stock Savings Bank; and (iii) organized a Mutual Holding Company as a federally-chartered mutual holding company that owns at least 51% of the common stock of the Stock Holding Company for as long as the Mutual Holding Company remains in existence. The Stock Savings Bank succeeded to the business and operations of the Association in its mutual form, and the Stock Holding Company sold 40.0% of its common stock in a public stock offering that was completed on December 6, 2004.



All depositors who had membership or liquidation rights with respect to the Association as of December 6, 2004 (the effective date of the reorganization) continue to have such rights solely with respect to the Mutual Holding Company for as long as they continue to hold deposit accounts with the Bank. In addition, all persons who become depositors of the Bank subsequent to the reorganization have 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 for as long as their existing borrowings remain outstanding.



On December 6, 2004, the Bank completed the mutual holding company reorganization and minority stock offering.  The Company sold 6,083,500 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value, at a price of $10.00 per share.  As part of the reorganization and minority stock offering, the Company also established and capitalized the Foundation with a $1.8 million one-time contribution, which consisted of 146,004 shares of its common stock and $365,010 in cash.  In addition, the Company issued 8,979,246 additional shares, or 59.04% of its outstanding shares, to Home Federal MHC, a federally-chartered mutual holding company.



Note 4 - Contingencies

On November 7, 2005, the Company completed the conversion of its core processing system, including the conversion of its internal check processing system to an outside vendor.  After the conversion, the Company experienced difficulties reconciling certain general ledger accounts related to the new check processing system.  The Company assembled a team dedicated to researching and resolving any discrepancies in reconciling the affected general ledger accounts.  As a result of the research, the Company wrote-off an immaterial amount of items that were determined to be uncollectible.  The Company also established new procedures and controls for the reconciliation of the related general ledger accounts.  The Company does not anticipate any material losses related to this issue in the future.

Note 5 - Stock-Based Compensation

On June 23, 2005, stockholders approved long-term stock-based benefit plans that enable the Company to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards to employees and directors.  The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payment, which requires the recognition of compensation costs relating to share based payment transactions in the financial statements.  The Company has elected the modified prospective application method of reporting, which provides for no restatement of prior periods and no cumulative adjustment to equity accounts.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company elected to account for its stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value-based method of recognizing compensation costs outlined in Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and adopted the disclosure-only provisions under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.



Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP").  The purpose of the RRP is to promote the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing restricted stock as a means for attracting and retaining directors and key employees.  The maximum number of shares that may be awarded under the RRP is 298,092.  Restricted stock awards vest over a five-year period and, therefore, the fair value of these awards will be accrued ratably over a five-year period as compensation expense.  As of March 31, 2006, restricted stock awards of 243,456 shares of common stock are outstanding.  None of the 243,456 shares outstanding may be exercised as of March 31, 2006.  The Company has an aggregate of 54,636 restricted shares available for future issuance under the RRP.

Stock Option and Incentive Plan ("SOP").  The Company implemented the SOP to promote the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing an incentive to directors and key employees who contribute to the operating success of the Company.  The maximum number of stock options and stock appreciation rights that may be issued under the SOP is 745,229.  The exercise price of each option equals the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant.  The options vest over five years and expire 10 years from the date of grant.  The Company has an aggregate of 146,308 stock options available for future issuance under the SOP.



The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.  The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company's stock.  Expected forfeiture rate is the estimated forfeiture rate based upon the employees in each separate group.  Expected dividends represent the Company's estimated annual dividend rate over the expected life.

The total fair value of options granted was approximately $1.1 million.  The fair value of the options granted is amortized ratably over the vesting period of the options.  For the six months ended March 31, 2006, there were no cash proceeds received from the exercise of options.  The following table illustrates the effect of the change, from applying the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), on the Company's results of operations for the three months ended and six months ended March 31, 2006.

Note 6 - Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the Company's net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss by diluted weighted average shares outstanding, which include common stock equivalent shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, unless such shares are anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents arise

from assumed conversion of outstanding stock options and from assumed vesting of shares awarded but not released under the Company's RRP plan.  There were no restricted stock awards or stock options granted as of March 31, 2005.  Therefore, basic and diluted EPS are the same as of March 31, 2005.  ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for earnings per share purposes until they are committed to be released.



The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated:

Note 7 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments.  The Statement provides entities with relief from having to separately determine the fair value of an embedded derivative that would otherwise be required to be bifurcated from its host contract in accordance with SFAS No. 133.  Statement 155 allows an entity to make an irrevocable election to measure such a hybrid financial instrument at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Statement also (1) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to Statement 133; (2) establishes a requirement for holders of securitized financial assets to evaluate whether the interest is a freestanding derivative or a hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (3) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (4) eliminates the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.  The Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a re-measurement event occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.



In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets.  The Statement provides relief for loan servicers that use derivatives to economically hedge fluctuations in the fair value of their servicing rights.  The Statement allows servicers to opt to measure their servicing rights at fair value, which is the same accounting basis used to measure derivatives.  A servicer can also choose to continue applying the existing amortization method in SFAS No. 140.  The Statement also requires additional disclosures regardless of which method is applied.  The Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 10 - Subsequent Events

On April 19, 2006, the State of Idaho Department of Finance issued a cease and desist order with respect to sales of unregistered securities in 2005 by a former investment representative of the Company.  The Company is aware of approximately $193,000 of unauthorized sales outstanding and is cooperating fully with the Department of Finance.  At this time, the outcome of the action cannot be predicted and its financial impact, if any, cannot be assessed.

Overview

The Company was organized as a federally-chartered stock corporation at the direction of the Association in connection with its mutual holding company reorganization.  The reorganization was completed on December 6, 2004. In connection with the reorganization, the Association converted to a federally-chartered stock savings bank and changed its corporate title to "Home Federal Bank."  In the reorganization, the Company sold 40.00% of its outstanding shares of common stock (6,083,500 shares) to the public and issued 59.04% of its outstanding shares of common stock (8,979,246 shares) to Home Federal MHC, the mutual holding company parent of the Company.  In connection with the reorganization, the Company also established and capitalized the Foundation with a $1.8 million one-time contribution, which consisted of 146,004 shares of its common stock and $365,010 in cash.  The Company's common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol "HOME" and is included in the America's Community Bankers NASDAQ Index.



The Bank was founded in 1920 as a building and loan association and reorganized as a federal mutual savings and loan association in 1936.  The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial service needs of consumers and businesses within our market area.  The Bank's primary business is attracting deposits from the general public and using these funds to originate loans.  We emphasize the origination of loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, residential real estate, residential development and construction, and commercial real estate.  To a lesser extent, we originate other types of real estate loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans.



The Bank serves the Treasure Valley region of southwestern Idaho, that includes Ada, Canyon, Elmore and Gem Counties, through our 14 full-service banking offices and two loan centers.  Nearly 40% of the state's population lives and works in the four counties served by Home Federal Bank.  Ada County has the largest population and includes the city of Boise, the state capitol.  Home Federal Bank maintains its largest branch presence in Ada County with eight locations, followed by Canyon County with four branches, including the Company's corporate headquarters in Nampa.  The two remaining branches are located in Elmore and Gem Counties.



The local economy is primarily urban with the city of Boise being the most populous of the markets that we serve, followed by Nampa, the state's second largest city.  The regional economy is well diversified with government, healthcare, manufacturing, high technology, call centers and construction providing sources of employment.  In addition, agriculture and related industries continue to be key components of the economy in southwestern Idaho.  Generally, sources of employment are concentrated in Ada and Canyon Counties and include the headquarters of Micron Technology, Albertsons, Washington Group International, J.R. Simplot Company and Boise Cascade, LLC.  Other major employers include Hewlett-Packard, two regional medical centers and Idaho state government agencies.  The city of Boise is also home to Boise State University, the state's largest and fastest growing university.

Critical Accounting Policies



Allowance for Loan Losses.  Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period.   This requires management to make assumptions about future losses on loans as the impact of a sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and potentially require increased provisions to replenish it, which would negatively affect earnings.



Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of three components: formula, specific and general allowances.  The formula allowance is determined by applying an estimated loss percentage to various groups of loans based on historical measures such as the amount and type of classified loans, past due ratios and loss experience, which could affect the collectibility of the respective loan types.  The specific allowance component is created when management believes that the collectibility of a specific large loan has been impaired and a loss is probable.  The general allowance element relates to assets with no well-defined deficiency or weakness and takes into consideration loss that is inherent within the portfolio but has not been realized.



Mortgage Servicing Rights.  Mortgage servicing rights represent the present value of the future loan servicing fees from the right to service loans for others.  The most critical accounting policy associated with mortgage servicing is the methodology used to determine the fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, which requires the development of a number of estimates, the most critical of which is the mortgage loan prepayment speeds assumption.  The Company performs a quarterly review of mortgage servicing rights for potential declines in value.  This review may include an independent appraisal by an outside party of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights.



Deferred Income Taxes.  Deferred income taxes are reported for temporary differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes. Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability approach as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the currently enacted tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company's income tax returns.  The deferred tax provision for the year is equal to the net change in the net deferred tax asset from the beginning to the end of the year, less amounts applicable to the change in value related to investments available for sale. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date. The primary differences between financial statement income and taxable income result from depreciation expense, mortgage servicing rights, loan loss reserves and dividends received from the FHLB. Deferred income taxes do not include a liability for pre-1988 bad debt deductions allowed to thrift institutions that may be recaptured if the institution fails to qualify as a thrift for income tax purposes in the future.



Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005

General.  Total assets increased $57.7 million, or 8.4%, to $747.3 million at March 31, 2006 from $689.6 million at September 30, 2005.  Loans receivable increased $45.3 million, or 10.5% to $476.2 million to lead the overall asset growth.  The demand for loans was funded with increased deposits of $35.3 million and FHLB advances of $20.6 million.



Assets.  For the six months ended March 31, 2006 total assets increased $57.7 million.  The increases and decreases were primarily concentrated in the following asset categories:



|                                                       |                             |  | Increase (decrease)

Mortgage-backed securities increased $11.2 million to $207.0 million at March 31, 2006, from $195.8 million at September 30, 2005.  For the six months ended March 31, 2006, the Company purchased $26.2 million of mortgage-backed securities that consisted primarily of hybrid adjustable and fixed rate securities with terms of 15 years or less.  The Company purchases mortgage-backed securities to supplement loan originations during periods when the Company is not able to originate the desired type or volume of portfolio loans and to manage interest rate sensitivity.



Loans receivable, net, increased $45.3 million to $476.2 million at March 31, 2006, from $430.9 million at September 30, 2005.  Single-family residential loans and commercial real estate loans increased $41.9 million and $8.2 million, respectively, during the six months ended March 31, 2006.  During the period, the Company purchased $38.8 million of hybrid adjustable, one-to four-family mortgage loans.  Purchased mortgage loans allow the Company to increase interest-earning assets, manage interest rate risk, and geographically diversify our mortgage loan portfolio at a relatively low overhead cost.  As of March 31, 2006, over 90% of the Company's loan portfolio is secured by real estate, either as primary or secondary collateral.



Property and equipment, net increased $1.3 million to $13.3 million at March 31, 2006, from $12.0 million at September 30, 2005.  The Company completed the conversion of its core processing system during the quarter ended December 31, 2005.  The majority of the increase in property and equipment is for software and hardware related to the conversion.

Deposits.  Deposits increased $35.3 million, or 8.9%, to $431.6 million at March 31, 2006, from $396.3 million at September 30, 2005.  Certificates of deposit accounted for the majority of the increase in total deposits with certificates of 12 to 23 month terms having the largest increase in balances.  The following table details the changes in deposit accounts:

Borrowings.  Advances from the FHLB increased $20.6 million, or 11.7%, to $196.5 million at March 31, 2006, from $175.9 million at September 30, 2005.  The Company uses advances from the FHLB as an alternative funding source to deposits in order to manage funding costs, reduce interest rate risk, and to leverage the balance sheet.

Equity.  Stockholders' equity increased $3.0 million, or 3.0%, to $104.4 million at March 31, 2006, from $101.4 million at September 30, 2005.  The increase was primarily a result of the $3.0 million in net income and the allocation of ESOP shares and equity compensation totaling $726,000, offset by $595,000 of cash dividends paid to stockholders.  On March 24, 2006, the Company paid $0.055 per share in cash dividends to stockholders of record, excluding shares held by Home Federal MHC.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005

General.  Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  The results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 include a $386,000 pre-tax gain on the sale of a former branch.  Excluding the gain on the sale of the branch, the Company had net income of $1.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $140,000, or 2.5%, to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities of $76.6 million and $63.2 million, respectively, which offset the compression of the Company's net interest margin.



The Company's net interest margin decreased 34 basis points to 3.33% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, from 3.67% for the same quarter last year.  The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 47 basis points to 2.86% for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 2.39% for the second quarter of the prior year.  The decline in the net interest margin reflects the relatively flat yield curve that currently exists, as the cost of shorter-term deposits and borrowed funds increased more rapidly than the yield on longer-term assets.  Although the Company believes the repricing of existing and new loans over time will help counter the trend in net interest margin, pressure will likely continue in the near term as a result of the flat yield curve environment.

Interest and Dividend Income.  Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased $1.2 million, or 13.9%, to $9.6 million, from $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  The increase during the quarter was primarily attributable to the $76.6 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets to 5.67% as a result of the general increase in interest rates.



The following table compares detailed average earning asset balances, associated yields, and resulting changes in interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005:

On May 18, 2005, the FHLB indefinitely suspended dividends on all classes of its stock as part of its recapitalization plans.  The suspension of FHLB dividends has not had a significant effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 35.3%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased $63.2 million, or 13.0%, to $550.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $487.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  The increase was primarily a result of growth in certificates of deposits and additional advances from the FHLB.  As a result of general market rate increases following Federal Reserve rate hikes during the past several quarters, the average cost of funds for total interest-bearing liabilities increased 47 basis points to 2.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 2.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The Company's Asset Liability Committee  (the "Committee") assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The quarterly assessment may include several factors, including changes in size and composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency rates, charge-off rates, the changing risk profile of the loan portfolio, as well as local economic conditions including unemployment rates, bankruptcies and vacancy rates of business and residential properties.  The Committee's methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of specific allocations on significant individual credits and a general allowance amount, including a range of losses.  The specific allowance component is determined when management believes that the collectibility of a specific large loan has been impaired and a loss is probable.  The general allowance component relates to assets with no well-defined deficiency or weakness and takes into consideration loss that is inherent within the portfolio but has not been realized.  The general allowance is determined by applying a historical loss percentage to various types of loans with similar characteristics and classified loans that are not analyzed specifically.  Due to the imprecision in calculating inherent and potential losses, a range is added to the general reserve to provide an allowance for loan losses that is adequate to cover losses that may arise as a result of changing economic conditions and other factors that may alter the bank's historical loss experience.



The provision for loan losses was $90,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  The $146,000, or 61.9% decrease in the provision reflects the Company's current credit quality and reduction of classified assets, nonperforming loans and net charge-offs.  The following table details selected activity associated with the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005:

Despite an increase in bankruptcy filings prior to the October 17, 2005 effective date of the new bankruptcy laws, the Company has not experienced a significant increase in loan losses as a result of charge-offs related to these additional filings.  Management considers the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2006 to be adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of the above-mentioned factors affecting the loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income decreased $152,000, or 5.8%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  The decrease in noninterest income is primarily attributable to a $386,000 gain on the sale of a former branch that occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2005, offset by an increase in service charges and fees and gains on loan sales in the current quarter.  The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in components of noninterest income:



|                                                                 | Three Months Ended

The Company performs a quarterly review of mortgage servicing rights for potential declines in value.  For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company determined there was no impairment of the mortgage servicing rights.  For the current quarter, amortization of the servicing rights exceeded the servicing rights capitalized as the majority of loans were sold with the servicing rights released.  The mortgage servicing right was 1.10% of mortgage loans serviced for others at March 31, 2006, compared to 1.18% at March 31, 2005.  Mortgage servicing rights is an accounting estimate of the present value of the future servicing fees from the right to service mortgage loans for others.  This estimate is affected by prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgages and interest rates.  In general, during periods of falling interest rates, mortgage loans prepay faster and the value of the mortgage-servicing asset declines.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased $858,000, or 16.5%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.



The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in components of noninterest expense:

|Total noninterest expense | $6,051                        |  | $5,193             



Noninterest expense increased $858,000, or 16.5%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  Compensation and benefits increased $674,000 to $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 from $3.1 million for the same quarter a year ago.  The majority of the increase is attributable to the establishment of the equity compensation plans during various times of the prior fiscal year, annual merit increases, and an increase in employee commissions and incentive plans.  The equity compensation plans include the Company's employee stock ownership plan, 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan and 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.  See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein for further information.  As of March 31, 2006, the Company employed 231 full-time equivalent employees, compared to 240 at March 31, 2005.  Data processing costs increased 38.3% as a result of the outsourcing of the Company's check processing function as part of the conversion of its core processing system in November 2005.  Other operating expenses increased primarily as a result of the write-off of uncollectible accounts related to the conversion of the Company's internal check processing system and an increase in fraudulent debit card transactions.



The efficiency ratio, which is the percentage of noninterest expense to net interest income plus noninterest income, was 74.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 63.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Excluding the non-recurring gain on the sale of a former branch, the efficiency ratio was 67.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  By definition, a lower efficiency ratio would be an indication that the Company is more efficiently utilizing resources to generate net interest income and other fee income.

Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense decreased $283,000, or 27.4%, to $749,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 from $1.0 million for the same period a year ago.  Income before income taxes was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  The Company's combined federal and state effective income tax rate for the current quarter was 37.8% compared to 38.1% for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.



Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005

General.  Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2006 was $3.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the six months ended March 31, 2005.  The results for the six months ended March 31, 2005 include a $386,000 pre-tax gain on the sale of a former branch and a $1.8 million pre-tax expense for establishing the Foundation.  Excluding the gain on the sale of the branch and the expense for establishing the Foundation, the Company had net income of $2.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the six months ended March 31, 2005.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 10.8%, to $11.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006, from $10.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005.  Average total interest-earning assets increased $80.6 million, or 13.8% to $664.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 from $583.8 million for the same period last year.  The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily a result of the purchase of mortgage-backed securities with the net proceeds of the minority stock offering in December 2004 and purchases of hybrid adjustable mortgage-backed securities and loans since then to achieve a desired level of interest-earning assets.



The Company's net interest margin decreased nine basis points to 3.50% for the six months ended March 31, 2006, from 3.59% for the same period last year.  The cost of deposits was 2.04% for the first six months of fiscal 2006 compared to 1.65% for the first six months of the prior year.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company revised its estimate of accrued interest on an escalator certificate of deposit product, resulting in a $310,000 reduction in interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2005.  Excluding the revision, the net interest margin and cost of deposits for the first six months were 3.37% and 2.21%, respectively.  The decline in net interest margin to 3.37% reflects the relatively flat yield curve that currently exists, as the cost of shorter-term deposits and borrowed funds increased more rapidly than the yield on longer-term assets.  Although the Company believes the repricing of existing and new loans over time will help counter the trend in net interest margin, pressure will likely continue in the near term as a result of the flat yield curve environment.

Interest and Dividend Income.  Total interest and dividend income for the six months ended March 31, 2006 increased $2.8 million, or 17.6%, to $18.9 million, from $16.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005.  The increase was primarily attributable to the $80.6 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets to 5.70% as a result of the general increase in interest rates.

On May 18, 2005, the FHLB indefinitely suspended dividends on all classes of its stock as part of its recapitalization plans.  The suspension of FHLB dividends has not had a significant effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $1.7 million, or 30.2%, to $7.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 from $5.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005.  The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased $48.1 million, or 9.8%, to $539.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 from $491.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005.  The increase was primarily a result of growth in certificates of deposit and additional advances from the FHLB.  As a result of general market rate increases following Federal Reserve rate hikes during the past several quarters, the average cost of funds for total interest-bearing liabilities increased 42 basis points to 2.70% for the six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 2.28% for the six months ended March 31, 2005.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses was $145,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $295,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2005.  The $150,000, or 50.9% decrease in the provision reflects the Company's current credit quality and reduction of classified assets, nonperforming loans and net charge-offs.  Management considers the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2006 to be adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  The following table details selected activity associated with the allowance for loan losses for the six months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005:

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $432,000, or 8.9%, to $5.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 from $4.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005.  The increase in noninterest income is primarily attributable to a $590,000 increase in service charges as a result of enhancements to the retail checking program related to the core processing conversion in the prior quarter.  Gains on sale of loans also increased $366,000 from $140,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2005 to $506,000 for the comparable period in 2006 as loans sold to investors increased to $37.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 from $24.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005.  As a result of the Company's conversion of its core processing system during the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company retired fixed assets and software related to the prior system, resulting in an $86,000 charge to gains and losses on fixed assets, included in other noninterest income for the six months ended March 31, 2006. Other noninterest income for the six months ended March 31, 2005 included a $386,000 gain on the sale of a former branch.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense decreased $319,000, or 2.6%, to $11.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 from $12.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005.  The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in components of noninterest expense:

|Total noninterest expense  | $11,931                    |  | $12,250            



For the six months ended March 31, 2005, the Company established the Foundation by contributing $1.8 million, consisting of 146,004 shares of its common stock and $365,000 in cash.  The Foundation was formed for the purpose of supporting charitable organizations and activities that enhance the quality of life for residents within the Company's market area.



Excluding the contribution to the Foundation, noninterest expense increased $1.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006.  Compensation and benefits accounted for $1.4 million of the increase to $7.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to $6.1 million for the same period a year ago.  The majority of the increase in compensation and benefits is attributable to the establishment of the equity compensation plans during various times of the prior fiscal year, annual merit increases, and increases in employee commissions and incentive plans.  See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein for further information.  Other operating expenses increased primarily as a result of the write-off of uncollectible accounts related to the conversion of the Company's internal check processing system, an increase in fraudulent debit card transactions and an increase in monthly service charges by the Federal Reserve related to the conversion of the internal check processing system.



The efficiency ratio, which is the percentage of noninterest expense to net interest income plus noninterest income, was 70.6% for the six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 79.9% for the six months ended March 31, 2005.  Excluding the non-recurring contribution to the Foundation and the gain on the sale of a former branch, the efficiency ratio was 69.7% for the six months ended March 31, 2005.

Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense increased $789,000, or 75.3%, to $1.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 from $1.0 million for the same period a year ago.  Income before income taxes was $4.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005.  The Company's combined federal and state effective income tax rate for the current period was 38.0% compared to 37.5% for the same period of the prior fiscal year.



Liquidity, Commitments and Capital Resources

Liquidity.
The Company actively analyzes and manages the Bank's liquidity with the objectives of maintaining an adequate level of liquidity and to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to support loan growth, fund deposit withdrawals, fund operations and satisfy other financial commitments.  See the "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows" contained in Item 1 - Financial Statements, included herein.



The primary sources of funds are customer deposits, loan repayments, loan sales, maturing investment securities, and advances from the FHLB.  These sources of funds, together with retained earnings and equity, are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations.  While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  Management believes that our current liquidity position and our forecasted operating results are sufficient to fund all of our existing commitments.

<PAGE>



At March 31, 2006, the Bank maintained a line of credit with the FHLB equal to 40% of total assets to the extent the Bank provides qualifying collateral and holds sufficient FHLB stock.  At March 31, 2006, the Bank was in compliance with the collateral requirements and $94.5 million of the line of credit was available.  In addition, the Company holds readily saleable loans and mortgage-backed securities available for sale for liquidity purposes.



At March 31, 2006, certificates of deposits amounted to $224.6 million, or 52.0% of total deposits, including $143.0 million that are scheduled to mature by March 31, 2007.  Historically, we have been able to retain a significant amount of our deposits as they mature.  Management believes the Company has adequate resources to fund all loan commitments through deposits, advances from the FHLB, loan repayments, maturing investment securities, and the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary markets.



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.  The Company 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 generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, and involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.  Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  Since some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  Collateral is not required to support commitments.



Undisbursed balances of loans closed include funds not disbursed but committed for construction projects.  Unused lines of credit include funds not disbursed, but committed to, home equity, commercial and consumer lines of credit.  Commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.



The following is a summary of commitments and contingent liabilities with off-balance sheet risks as of March 31, 2006:

Capital.  Consistent with our objective to operate a sound and profitable financial institution, the Company has maintained and will continue to focus on maintaining a "well capitalized" rating from regulatory authorities.  In addition, the Company is subject to certain capital requirements set by our regulatory agencies.  At March 31, 2006, the Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.  Total equity of the Company was $104.4 million at March 31, 2006, or 14.0% of total assets on that date.



The Bank's regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2006 were as follows: Tier 1 capital of 11.5%; Tier 1 risk-based capital of 19.2%; and total risk-based capital of 19.9%.  The regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5%, 6%, and 10%, respectively.



Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our Board of Directors has established an asset and liability management policy to guide management in maximizing net interest spread by managing the differences in terms between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities while maintaining acceptable levels of liquidity, capital adequacy, interest rate sensitivity, credit risk and profitability.  The Asset Liability Management Committee, consisting of certain members of senior management, communicate, coordinate and manage our asset/liability positions consistent with our business plan and Board-approved policies, as well as to price savings and lending products, and to develop new products.

One of our primary financial objectives is to generate ongoing profitability.  The Company's profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income it receives on its loan and investment portfolio and its cost of funds, which consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowings.  The rates we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time.  Market interest rates change over time.  Our loans generally have longer maturities than our deposits.  Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are affected by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities.  We measure our interest rate sensitivity on a monthly basis using an internal model.



Management employs various strategies to manage our interest rate sensitivity including: (1) selling long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other financial institutions; (2) borrowing intermediate to long-term funds at fixed rates from the FHLB; (3) originating consumer loans at shorter maturities or at variable rates; (4) originating adjustable rate mortgage loans; (5) appropriately modifying loan and deposit pricing to capitalize on the then current market opportunities; and (6) increasing lower cost core deposits, such as savings and checking accounts. At March 31, 2006, the Company had no off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, and the Bank did not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instruments or engage in hedging activities or purchase high risk derivative instruments.  Furthermore, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.



There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the Company's 2005 Form 10-K.



Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other members of the Company's management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.



(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  A number of internal control procedures were, however, modified during the quarter in conjunction with the Bank's internal control testing and conversion to a new core processing system.  The Company also continued to implement suggestions from its internal auditor and independent auditors on ways to strengthen existing controls.



The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the
design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to
improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies
that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management
has timely access to all material non-financial information concerning the
Company's business. While the Company believes the present design of its
disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future
events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure
controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure
controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will
prevent all error and fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived
and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations
in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the
Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities
that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls
or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally,
controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people, or by management

override of the control. The design of any control procedure
is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,
and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations
in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may
occur and not be detected.
