PROSPECTUS OF HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. (NEW)
PROXY STATEMENT OF HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC.
Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., Home Federal Bank and Home Federal MHC are converting from the mutual holding company structure to a fully public ownership structure. Currently, Home Federal MHC owns 58.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorps common stock. The remaining 41.1% of Home Federal Bancorps outstanding shares of common stock is owned by other stockholders, who are referred to as the public stockholders. As a result of the conversion, new Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation which was recently formed by Home Federal Bank, will become the parent holding company for Home Federal Bank.
Shares of Home Federal Bancorps common stock owned by the public will be exchanged for between 10,200,000 and 13,800,000 shares of common stock of new Home Federal Bancorp (subject to increase to 15,870,000 shares as a result of market demand, regulatory considerations or changes in financial markets) so that Home Federal Bancorps existing public stockholders will own approximately the same percentage of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock as they owned of Home Federal Bancorps common stock immediately prior to the conversion. The actual number of shares that you will receive will depend on the exchange ratio, which will depend on the percentage of Home Federal Bancorps common stock held by the public at the completion of the conversion, the final independent appraisal of new Home Federal Bancorp and the number of shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock sold in the offering described in the following paragraph. It will not depend on the market price of common stock. See The Conversion and Stock Offering Effect of the Conversion on Current Stockholders Effect on Outstanding Shares of Home Federal Bancorp for a discussion of the exchange ratio. Based on the $____ per share closing price of Home Federal Bancorps common stock as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, unless at least 10,200,000 shares of new Home Federal Bancorp are sold in the Offering (slightly over the mid-point of the offering range), the initial aggregate value of the new Home Federal Bancorp common stock you receive in the share exchange would be less than the aggregate market value of the Home Federal Bancorp common stock that you currently own. See Risk Factors Holders of New Home Federal Bancorp common stock may not be able to sell their shares when desired if a liquid trading market does not develop, or for $10.00 or more per share even if a liquid trading market develops.
Concurrently with the exchange offer, we are offering up to 13,800,000 shares of common stock of new Home Federal Bancorp, representing the 58.9% ownership interest of Home Federal MHC in Home Federal Bancorp, for sale to eligible depositors and the public at a price of $10.00 per share. We may increase the maximum number of shares that we sell in the offering, without notice to persons who have subscribed for shares, by up to 15%, to 15,870,000 shares, as a result of market demand, regulatory considerations or changes in financial markets. The conversion of Home Federal MHC and the offering and exchange of common stock by new Home Federal Bancorp is referred to herein as the conversion and offering. After the conversion and offering are completed, Home Federal Bank will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of new Home Federal Bancorp, and 100% of the common stock of new Home Federal Bancorp will be owned by public stockholders. As a result of the conversion and offering, Home Federal MHC and Home Federal Bancorp will cease to exist.
Home Federal Bancorps common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol HOME. We have applied to have the common stock of new Home Federal Bancorp listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and we expect that the common stock will trade under the symbol HOMED for a period of 20 trading days after completion of the offering. Thereafter, new Home Federal Bancorps trading symbol will revert to HOME. We cannot assure you that our common stock will be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The conversion and offering cannot be completed unless the stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp approve the plan of conversion and reorganization. Home Federal Bancorp is holding a special meeting of stockholders at the __________, ____________, Boise, Idaho, on _________, _________ __, 2007 at ___ p.m., Mountain time, to consider and vote upon:
1. The amended plan of conversion and reorganization (the plan of conversion and reorganization) of Home Federal MHC, Home Federal Bank and Home Federal Bancorp;
2. Any other matters that may properly come before the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (management is not aware of any such matters).
Home Federal Bancorps board of directors unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote FOR the plan of conversion and reorganization.
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 proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus relating to new Home Federal Bancorps articles of incorporation. These proposals are informational in nature only because the Office of Thrift Supervisions regulations governing mutual-to-stock conversions do not provide for votes on matters other than the plan of conversion and reorganization. These proposals are referred to as informational proposals and Home Federal Bancorps stockholders are not being asked to approve these informational proposals at the special meeting.

FOR STOCKHOLDERS OF HOME FEDERAL BANCORP
You should read this document and the plan of conversion and reorganization for more information about the conversion and stock offering. The plan of conversion and reorganization has been conditionally approved by our regulators.
Q. What are stockholders being asked to approve?
A. Home Federal Bancorp stockholders as of ______ __, 2007 are being asked to vote on the plan of conversion and reorganization. Under the plan of conversion and reorganization, Home Federal MHC will convert from the mutual holding company form to a stock holding company, and as part of such conversion, a new company, new Home Federal Bancorp will offer for sale, in the form of shares of it common stock, Home Federal MHCs 58.9% ownership interest in Home Federal Bancorp. In addition to the shares of common stock to be issued to those who purchase shares in the stock offering, public stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp as of the completion of the conversion, will receive shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock in exchange for their existing shares. Informational proposals relating to new Home Federal Bancorps articles of incorporation are also described in this proxy statement/prospectus, but, due to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, are not subject to a vote of the Home Federal Bancorps stockholders. Home Federal Bancorps stockholders are not being asked to approve these informational proposals at the special meeting.
Q. What is the conversion?
A. Home Federal Bank, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal MHC are converting from a mutual holding company structure to a fully-public ownership structure. Currently, Home Federal MHC owns 58.9% of Home Federal Bancorps common stock. The remaining 41.1% of common stock is owned by public stockholders. As a result of the conversion, our newly formed company, called new Home Federal Bancorp, will become the parent of Home Federal Bank.
Shares of common stock of new Home Federal Bancorp, representing the current 58.9% ownership interest of Home Federal MHC in Home Federal Bancorp, are being offered for sale to eligible depositors and to the public. At the completion of the conversion and offering, current public stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp will exchange their shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock for shares of common stock of new Home Federal Bancorp.
After the conversion and offering are completed, Home Federal Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of new Home Federal Bancorp, and 100% of the common stock of new Home Federal Bancorp will be owned by public stockholders. As a result of the conversion and offering, Home Federal MHC and Home Federal Bancorp will cease to exist.
See The Conversion and Stock Offering beginning on page 130 of this proxy statement/prospectus, for more information about the conversion.
Q. What will stockholders receive for their existing Home Federal Bancorp shares?
A. As more fully described in the section entitled The Conversion and Stock Offering, depending on the number of shares sold in the stock offering, each share of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp that you own immediately prior to the completion of the conversion and stock offering will be exchanged for between 7,103,110 new shares of new Home Federal Bancorp at the minimum and 9,610,090 new shares of new Home Federal Bancorp 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 1.3364, after the conversion you will receive 133 shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock and $6.40 in cash, the value of the fractional
i
share, based on the $10.00 per share offering price. Stockholders who hold shares in street-name at a brokerage firm will receive these funds in their brokerage account. Stockholders who have stock certificates will receive checks. The actual number of shares you receive will depend upon the number of shares we sell in our offering, which in turn will depend upon the final appraised value of new 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 Bancorps common stock.
Q. What are the reasons for the conversion and offering?
A. We are pursuing the conversion for the following reasons:
|
|
The additional funds resulting from the offering will support continued growth and expansion 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 MHC to own less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp. We expect that our conversion 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
The conversion will increase the number of outstanding shares held by public stockholders and we expect our stock to have greater liquidity. |
Q. Why should I vote?
A. 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 a majority of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, other than shares held by Home Federal MHC. YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE PLAN OF CONVERSION AND REORGANIZATION.
Q. What happens if I dont vote?
A. 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.
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.
Q. If my shares are held in street name, will my broker automatically vote on my behalf?
A. 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.
Q. What if I do not give voting instructions to my broker?
A. Your vote is important. If you do not instruct your broker to vote your shares by proxy they will not be voted, and each unvoted share will have the same effect as a vote against the plan of conversion and reorganization.
ii
Q. How will my existing Home Federal Bancorp shares be exchanged?
A. The conversion of your shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock into the right to receive shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock will occur automatically on the effective date of the conversion, 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 reorganization, 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 new Home Federal Bancorp common stock will be issued to you when the conversion is completed. For each fractional share that would otherwise be issued to a stockholder 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?
A. No. If you hold your certificate(s), instructions for exchanging the shares will be sent to you after completion of the conversion and stock 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 stock offering.

What This Document Is About
The boards of directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal MHC, Home Federal Bank and new Home Federal Bancorp have adopted a plan of conversion and reorganization pursuant to which Home Federal Bank will reorganize from a mutual holding company structure to a stock form holding company structure. As part of the conversion, Home Federal Bank formed new Home Federal Bancorp. Public stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp will receive shares in new Home Federal Bancorp 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 new Home Federal Bancorp of shares of its common stock to eligible depositors and borrowers of Home Federal Bank in a subscription offering and, if necessary, to the public in a community offering and syndicated community offering. Following the conversion and offering, Home Federal MHC and Home Federal Bancorp will no longer exist and new Home Federal Bancorp will be the parent company of Home Federal Bank.
The conversion and offering cannot be completed unless the stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp approve the plan of conversion and reorganization. Home Federal Bancorps stockholders will vote on the plan of conversion and reorganization at Home Federal Bancorps special meeting.

The provisions of new Home Federal Bancorps articles of incorporation which are summarized as informational proposals 1A through 1F were approved as part of the process in which the board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp approved the plan of conversion and reorganization.

Your board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the plan of conversion and reorganization.
The Companies
New Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. New Home Federal Bancorp is a newly formed Maryland corporation. New Home Federal Bancorp is offering for sale to certain depositors and borrowers of Home Federal Bank and others, shares of its common stock representing the 58.9% ownership interest in Home Federal Bancorp, the mid-tier stock holding company, that is currently owned by Home Federal MHC. The remaining 41.1% ownership interest in Home Federal Bancorp is currently owned by other stockholders (who are sometimes referred to as the public stockholders) and will be exchanged for shares of new Home Federal Bancorps common stock based on an exchange ratio of 1.1360 to 1.5369. The exchange ratio may be increased to as much as 1.7674 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 offering and will depend on the number of shares of new Home Federal Bancorps common stock sold in the stock offering. The executive offices of new Home Federal Bancorp are located at 500 12th Avenue South, Nampa, Idaho 83651, and its telephone number is (208) 466-4634.
Home Federal Bank. Home Federal Bank was founded in 1920 as a building and loan association and reorganized as a federal mutual savings and loan association in 1936. We are a community-based financial institution primarily serving the Boise, Idaho and surrounding metropolitan area known as the Treasure Valley region of southwestern Idaho, including Ada, Canyon, Elmore and Gem counties. We conduct our operations through our 15 full-service banking offices, and two loan centers. Included in our 15 full-service banking offices are six Wal-Mart in-store branch locations. We are in the business of attracting deposits from the public and utilizing those deposits, along with other borrowings, to originate loans. We offer a wide range of loan products to meet the demands of our customers. Historically, lending activities have been primarily directed toward the origination of residential and commercial real estate loans. Real estate lending activities have been primarily focused on first mortgages on owner occupied, one- to four-family residential properties. To an increasing extent in recent years, lending activities have also included the origination of residential and commercial construction and land development loans and home equity loans. While continuing our commitment to residential lending, management expects commercial lending, including commercial real estate, builder finance and commercial business lending, to
2
become increasingly important activities for us. Consistent with this strategy, we appointed Mr. Len E. Williams as President of Home Federal Bank in September 2006 and to Home Federal Bancorps board of directors in April 2007. Mr. Williams has extensive experience in business related lending. Before starting his tenure with us, Mr. Williams served as Senior Vice President and Head of Business Banking of Fifth Third Bank and held several management positions with Key Bank, including President of Business Banking from 2003 to 2005. We expect him to succeed Mr. Daniel L. Stevens, Home Federal Bancorps Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, as President and Chief Executive Officer of new Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank in October 2008.
At June 30, 2007, we had total assets of $728.3 million, deposit accounts of $418.7 million and equity of $110.0 million.
Home Federal MHC. Home Federal MHC currently is the mutual holding company parent of Home Federal Bancorp. The principal business purpose of Home Federal MHC is owning more than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp. Home Federal MHC currently owns 58.9% of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp. Home Federal MHC will no longer exist upon completion of the conversion and offering.
Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. is a federal corporation and a mid-tier holding company that owns 100% of Home Federal Bank. It was formed in 2004 in connection with the reorganization of Home Federal Bank into the mutual holding company form of organization. Effective with the reorganization, it became a stock holding company and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Home Federal MHC, a federally chartered mutual holding company.
Home Federal Bancorp conducts its business as a savings and loan holding company and has no significant liabilities. Its primary business consists of directing, planning and coordinating the business activities of Home Federal Bank.

You should consider these risk factors, in addition to the other information in this prospectus, in deciding how to vote on the conversion and before deciding whether to make an investment in new Home Federal Bancorps stock.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our increased emphasis on commercial lending may expose us to increased lending risks.
Our business strategy is focused on the expansion of commercial real estate, construction and land development and commercial business lending. These types of lending activities, while potentially more profitable than single-family residential lending, are generally more sensitive to regional and local economic conditions, making loss levels more difficult to predict. Collateral evaluation and financial statement analysis in these types of loans requires a more detailed analysis at the time of loan underwriting and on an ongoing basis. While economic trends in the Treasure Valley Region of Southwest Idaho have been relatively positive, a decline in real estate values, would reduce the value of the real estate collateral securing our loans and increase the risk that we would incur losses if borrowers defaulted on their loans. In addition, these loans generally expose a lender to greater risk of non-payment and loss than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because repayment of the loans often depends on the successful operation of the property and the income stream of the borrowers. Further, such loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Also, many of our commercial borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan. Accordingly, when there are defaults and losses on these types of loans, they are often larger on a per loan basis than those for permanent single-family or consumer loans. A secondary market for most types of commercial real estate and construction loans is not readily liquid, so we have less opportunity to mitigate credit risk by selling part or all of our interest in these loans.
Our business strategy includes significant growth plans, and our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage our growth effectively.
We intend to continue pursuing a significant growth strategy for our business. Our growth initiatives are based upon recruiting experienced personnel to lead such initiatives, and, accordingly, the failure to identify and retain such personnel would place significant limitations on our ability to execute our growth strategy. In addition, achieving our growth targets requires us to attract customers that currently have banking relationships with other financial institutions in our market, thereby increasing our share of the market. To the extent we expand our lending beyond our current market area, we could incur additional risk related to those new market areas. We cannot assure that we will be able to expand our market presence in our existing markets or successfully enter new markets or that any such expansion will not adversely affect our profitability. If we do not manage our growth effectively, we may not be able to achieve our business plan, and our business, profitability and prospects could be harmed. Also, if our growth occurs more slowly than anticipated or declines, our profitability could be materially adversely affected.
Our ability to successfully grow will depend on a variety of factors, including our ability to attract and retain experienced bankers, the continued availability of desirable business opportunities, the competitive responses from other financial institutions in our market area and our ability to manage our growth. While we believe we have the executive management resources and internal systems in place to successfully manage our future growth, there can be no assurance growth opportunities will be available or that we will successfully manage our growth.

We are highly dependent on key individuals and a number of the members of the original senior management team that were in place at the time of our mutual holding company reorganization have either left Home Federal Bank or will be retiring in the next year and as a result there will be a new management team leading us going forward.
Consistent with our policy of focusing on select growth initiatives we are highly dependent on the continued services of a limited number of our executive officers and key management personnel. The loss of services of any of these individuals could have a material adverse impact on our operations because other officers may not have the experience and expertise to readily replace these individuals.
The senior management team of Home Federal Bancorp in place at the time of the mutual holding company reorganization had worked together for a number of years and, until recently, virtually all of them had worked for us for five years or more. Daniel L. Stevens who has been our President and Chief Executive Officer since 1995 has announced that he will retire on September 30, 2008 and has begun the transition to his retirement, including working with his replacement, Len E. Williams. Roger D. Eisenbarth who has been our Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer since 1993 retired on October 15, 2007. Karen Wardwell who had been a Senior Vice President in Operations and Technology left in June 2007 and T. Blake Burgess our Corporate Secretary and Director of Accounting left in August 2007. In addition, we are currently interviewing potential candidates for the chief financial officer position. Once this individual is hired, Robert A. Schoelkoph, our current Chief Financial Officer, will continue to serve as Treasurer and Secretary of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank.
While we believe we have in place qualified individuals to replace these individuals and have provided for an orderly transition, the new individuals will need to develop a cohesive and unified management team. 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 profitability. Moreover, our anticipated growth is expected to place increased demands on our human resources and will require the recruitment of additional middle management personnel. The competition to hire experienced banking professionals is also intense. If we are unable to attract qualified banking professionals, our expansion plans could be delayed or curtailed and our business, financial condition, and profitability may be adversely affected.
Fluctuations in interest rates could reduce our profitability and affect the value of our assets.
Like other financial institutions, we are subject to interest rate risk. Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. We expect that we will periodically experience imbalances in the interest rate sensitivities of our assets and liabilities and the relationships of various interest rates to each other. Over any defined period of time, our interest-earning assets may be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest-bearing liabilities, or vice versa. In addition, the individual market interest rates underlying our loan and deposit products (e.g., prime) may not change to the same degree over a given time period. In any event, if market interest rates should move contrary to our position, our earnings may be negatively affected. In addition, loan volume and quality and deposit volume and mix can be affected by market interest rates. Changes in levels of market interest rates could materially affect our net interest spread, asset quality, origination volume, and overall profitability.
Interest rates have recently been at historically low levels. However, since June 30, 2004, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has increased its target for the federal funds rate 17 times, from 1.00% to 5.25%. While these short-term market interest rates (which we use as a guide to price our deposits) have increased, longer-term market interest rates (which we use as a guide to price our longer-term loans such as one- to four-family residential mortgages) have not. This flattening of the market yield curve has had a negative impact on our interest rate spread and net interest margin to date. If short-term interest rates continue to rise, and if rates on our deposits and borrowings continue to reprice upwards faster than the rates on our long-term loans and investments, we would experience further compression of our interest rate spread and net interest margin, which would have a negative effect on our profitability.

We principally manage interest rate risk by managing our volume and mix of our earning assets and funding liabilities. In a changing interest rate environment, we may not be able to manage this risk effectively. If we are unable to manage interest rate risk effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed.
Changes in the level of interest rates also may negatively affect our ability to originate real estate loans, the value of our assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of our assets, all of which ultimately affect our earnings. At June 30, 2007, we had $215.2 million in loans due after one year with fixed rates of interest, representing 43.4% of our total loan portfolio and 29.5% of our total assets. Our most recent rate shock analysis indicates that our net portfolio value would be more adversely affected by an increase in interest rates than by a decrease. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk.
Our business is subject to various lending risks which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.
Our business strategy centers on the continued transition to commercial banking activities in order to expand our net interest margin. Consistent with this strategy, we are working to further reduce the percentage of our assets that are lower-yielding residential loans and mortgage-backed securities and to increase the percentage of our assets consisting of construction and land development, commercial and multi-family real estate and commercial business loans that have higher risk-adjusted returns. Our increasing focus on these types of lending will continue to increase our risk profile relative to traditional thrift institutions as we continue to implement our business strategy for the following reasons:
Our commercial and multi-family real estate loans involve higher principal amounts than other loans and repayment of these loans may be dependent on factors outside our control or the control of our borrowers. We originate commercial and multi-family real estate loans for individuals and businesses for various purposes which are secured by commercial properties. As of June 30, 2007, $134.7 million, or 27.2% and $6.9 million, or 1.4% (excluding commercial real estate construction loans of $15.2 million), of our total loan portfolio was secured by commercial and multi-family real estate property, respectively.
The credit risk related to commercial and multi-family real estate loans is considered to be greater than the risk related to one- to four-family residential or consumer loans because the repayment of commercial and multifamily real estate loans typically is dependent on the income stream of the real estate securing the loan as collateral and the successful operation of the borrowers business, which can be significantly affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the economy. For example, if the cash flow from the borrowers project is reduced as a result of leases not being obtained or renewed, the borrowers ability to repay the loan may be impaired. In addition, many of our commercial and multi-family real estate loans are not fully amortizing and contain large balloon payments upon maturity. These balloon payments may require the borrower to either sell or refinance the underlying property in order to make the balloon payment.
If we foreclose on a commercial and multi-family real estate loan, our holding period for the collateral typically is longer than for one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because there are fewer potential purchasers of the collateral. Additionally, commercial and multi-family real estate loans generally have relatively large balances to single borrowers or related groups of borrowers. Accordingly, if we make any errors in judgment in the collectibility of our commercial and multi-family real estate loans, any resulting charge-offs may be larger on a per loan basis than those incurred with our residential or consumer loan portfolios. See Business of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank Lending Activities Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Lending.
Our construction and land development loans are based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. We make land purchase, lot development and real estate construction loans to individuals and builders, primarily for the construction of residential properties and, to a lesser extent, commercial and multi-family real estate projects. We will originate these loans whether or not the collateral property underlying the loan is under
6
contract for sale. Residential real estate construction loans include single-family tract construction loans for the construction of entry level residential homes. Over the last two years, we have significantly increased the amount of construction and land development loans in our loan portfolio, both in dollar amounts and as a percentage of our total loans. At June 30, 2007, $46.2 million or 9.32% of our total loan portfolio consisted of construction and land development loans.
Our construction and land development loans are based upon estimates of costs and values associated with the completed project, which may be inaccurate. Construction and land development lending involves additional risks when compared with permanent residential lending because funds are advanced upon the security of the project, which is of uncertain value prior to its completion. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, as well as the market value of the completed project and the effects of governmental regulation of real property, it is relatively difficult to evaluate accurately the total funds required to complete a project and the related loan-to-value ratio. This type of lending also typically involves higher loan principal amounts and is often concentrated with a small number of builders. These loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment primarily dependent on the success of the ultimate project and the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property or obtain permanent take-out financing, rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. If our appraisal of the value of a completed project proves to be overstated, we may have inadequate security for the repayment of the loan upon completion of construction of the project and may incur a loss. Our ability to continue to originate a significant amount of construction loans is dependent on the continued strength of the housing market in the Treasure Valley Region of Southwest, Idaho. Further, if we lost our relationship with one or more of our larger borrowers building in these counties or there is a decline in the demand for new housing in these counties, it is expected that the demand for construction loans would decline, our liquidity would substantially increase and our net income would be adversely affected.
Repayment of our commercial business loans is often dependent on the cash flows of the borrower, which may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. At June 30, 2007, commercial business loans totaled $4.1 million of our total loan portfolio, however, we intend to significantly expand these types of loans as a percentage of our total loan portfolio. Our commercial business loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most often, this collateral consists of accounts receivable, inventory or equipment. Credit support provided by the borrower for most of these loans and the probability of repayment is based on the liquidation of the pledged collateral and enforcement of a personal guarantee, if any exists. As a result, in the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from it customers. The collateral securing other loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could be reduced.
We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we review our loans and our loss and delinquency experience, and evaluate economic conditions. Management recognizes that significant new growth in loan portfolios, new loan products and the refinancing of existing loans can result in portfolios comprised of unseasoned loans that may not perform in a historical or projected manner. If our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual losses, resulting in additions to our allowance. Material additions to our allowance could materially decrease our net income. In addition, bank regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize additional loan charge-offs. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and profitability.
7
If the value of real estate in the Boise metropolitan area were to decline materially, a significant portion of our loan portfolio could become under-collateralized, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
With substantially all of our loans secured by real property and concentrated in the State of Idaho, and specifically 43.9%, 30.0%, 4.4% and 3.2%, respectively, of our total loan portfolio concentrated in Ada, Canyon, Elmore and Gem counties, Idaho, respectively, a decline in local economic conditions could adversely affect the values of our real estate collateral. 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. Consequently, a decline in local economic conditions may have a greater effect on our earnings and capital than on the earnings and capital of larger financial institutions whose real estate loan portfolios are geographically diverse. If we are required to liquidate a significant amount of collateral during a period of reduced real estate values to satisfy the debt, our financial condition and profitability could be adversely affected.
Our loans are concentrated to borrowers in our market area.
Because the majority of our borrowers and depositors are individuals and businesses located and doing business in the Boise and surrounding metropolitan area, our success depends to a significant extent upon economic conditions in the Boise and surrounding metropolitan area. Adverse economic conditions in our market area could reduce our growth rate, affect the ability of our customers to repay their loans and generally affect our financial condition and results of operations. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, high interest rates, short money supply, scarce natural resources, international disorders, terrorism and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our profitability. We do not have the ability of a larger institution to spread the risks of unfavorable local economic conditions across a large number of diversified economies. Any sustained period of increased payment delinquencies, foreclosures or losses caused by adverse market or economic conditions in the State of Idaho could adversely affect the value of our assets, revenues, profitability and financial condition. Moreover, we cannot give any assurance we will benefit from any market growth or favorable economic conditions in our primary market areas if they do occur.
The building of market share through our branching strategy could cause our expenses to increase faster than revenues.
We intend to continue to build market share through our branching strategy. We are planning four to six new branches that we intend to open within the next 24 months. There are costs involved in opening branches and new branches generally require a period of time to generate sufficient revenues to offset their costs, especially in areas in which we do not have an established presence. Accordingly, any new branch may negatively impact our earnings for some period of time until the branch reaches certain economies of scale. Our expenses could be further increased if we encounter delays in the opening of any of our new branches. Finally, there is a risk that our new branches will not be successful even after they have been established.
If external funds are not available, this could adversely impact our growth and future prospects.
We rely on deposits, brokered deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings to fund our operations. Although we have historically been able to replace maturing deposits if desired, no assurance can be given that we will be able to replace such funds in the future if our financial condition or market conditions were to change. Although we consider the sources of existing funds adequate for our current liquidity needs, we may seek additional brokered deposits or debt in the future to achieve our long-term business objectives. There can be no assurance additional funds, if sought, would be available to us or, if available, would be on favorable terms. If additional financing sources are unavailable or are not available on reasonable terms, our growth and future prospects could be adversely affected.

We face strong competition from other financial institutions, financial service companies and other organizations offering services similar to those offered by us, which could limit our growth and profitability.
We face direct competition from a significant number of financial institutions, many with a state-wide or regional presence, and in some cases a national presence, in both originating loans and attracting deposits. Competition in originating loans comes primarily from other banks, mortgage companies and consumer finance institutions that make loans in our primary market areas. We also face substantial competition in attracting deposits from other banking institutions, money market and mutual funds, credit unions and other investment vehicles.
In addition, banks with larger capitalization and non-bank financial institutions that are not governed by bank regulatory restrictions have large lending limits and are better able to serve the needs of larger customers. Many of these financial institutions are also significantly larger and have greater financial resources than us, have been in business for a long period of time and have established customer bases and name recognition.
We compete for loans principally on the basis of interest rates and loan fees, the types of loans we originate and the quality of service we provide to borrowers. Our ability to attract and retain deposits requires that we provide customers with competitive investment opportunities with respect to rate of return, liquidity, risk and other factors. To effectively compete, we may have to pay higher rates of interest to attract deposits, resulting in reduced profitability. If we are not able to effectively compete in our market area, our profitability may be negatively affected, potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends. The greater resources and deposit and loan products offered by some of our competitors may also limit our ability to increase our interest-earning assets. See Business of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank Competition.
We continually encounter technological change, and we may have fewer resources than many of our competitors to continue to invest in technological improvements.
The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes, with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our clients by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy client demands for convenience, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers.
We are subject to extensive regulation which could adversely affect our business.
Our operations are subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and local governmental authorities and are subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing requirements and restrictions on part or all of our operations. Because our business is highly regulated, the laws, rules and regulations applicable to it are subject to regular modification and change. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on our operations, the classification of our assets and determination of the level of our allowance for loan losses. Any change in this regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or supervisory action, may have a material impact on our operations or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects or profitability. See How We Are Regulated Regulation and Supervision of Home Federal Bank.

Risks Related to this Offering
After this offering, our compensation expenses will increase and our return on equity will be low compared to other companies. These factors could negatively impact the price of our stock.
The proceeds we will receive from the sale of our common stock will significantly increase our capital and it will take us time to fully deploy those proceeds in our business operations. Our compensation expense will increase because of the costs associated with the employee stock ownership and new stock-based incentive 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. We estimate, once these plans are adopted, the increase in compensation expense will be approximately $1.6 million on an after-tax basis, based on the maximum of the valuation range. As a result we expect our return on equity to be below our historical level and less than many of our regional and national peers. For the nine months ended June 30, 2007 and for the year ended September 30, 2006, our return on equity was 4.92% and 5.90%, respectively. Although we expect that our net income will increase following the offering, we expect that our return on equity will also be reduced as a result of the additional capital that we will raise in the offering. For example, our pro forma return on equity for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 was 3.36%, assuming the sale of shares at the maximum of the offering range. In comparison, the peer group used by RP Financial in its appraisal had an average return on equity of 7.18% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007. If our return on equity remains below the industry average following the stock offering, this could hurt our stock price. We cannot guarantee when or if we will achieve returns on equity that are comparable to industry peers. For further information regarding pro forma income and expenses, see Pro Forma Data.
Your subscription funds could be held for an extended time period and will be unavailable to you for other investments if completion of the conversion is delayed.
Your subscription funds could be held for an extended time period if the conversion is not completed by _____ ____ _ _, 2007 and the regulators give new Home Federal Bancorp more time to complete the conversion. If this occurs, your funds would not be available to use for other purposes. If the regulators give new Home Federal Bancorp more time to complete the conversion, new Home Federal Bancorp will contact everyone who subscribed for shares to see if they still want to purchase stock. A material change in the independent appraisal of new Home Federal Bancorp would be the most likely, but not necessarily the only, reason for a delay in completing the conversion. The conversion requirements permit the Office of Thrift Supervision to grant one or more time extensions, none of which may exceed 90 days. Extensions may not go beyond ___________ __, 2009.
Management and the board of directors have significant discretion over the investment of the offering proceeds and may not be able to achieve acceptable returns on the proceeds from the offering.
We expect that a significant amount of capital will be raised in this offering. The board of directors and management of new Home Federal Bancorp will have discretion in the investment of this additional capital. We will use a portion of the net proceeds retained to finance the purchase of common stock in the offering by the employee stock ownership plan and may use the remaining net proceeds to pay dividends to stockholders, repurchase shares of common stock, purchase securities, deposit funds in Home Federal Bank or other financial institutions, acquire other financial services companies or for other general corporate purposes. Home Federal Bank may use the proceeds it receives to fund new loans, establish or acquire new branches or loan production offices, acquire other financial service providers, purchase securities, or for general corporate purposes. We have not, however, identified specific amounts of proceeds for any of these purposes and we will have significant flexibility in determining the amount of net proceeds we apply to different uses and the timing of these applications. Our failure to utilize these funds effectively could reduce our profitability. We have not established a timetable for the effective deployment of the
10
proceeds, and we cannot predict how long we will require to effectively deploy the proceeds. Initially, a substantial portion of the net proceeds will be invested in short-term investments, investment-grade debt obligations and mortgage-backed securities. Investing the offering proceeds in securities until we are able to deploy the proceeds will provide lower margins than we generally earn on loans, potentially adversely affecting stockholder returns, including earnings per share, return on assets and return on equity.
Holders of New Home Federal Bancorp common stock may not be able to sell their shares when desired if a liquid trading market does not develop, or for $10.00 or more per share even if a liquid trading market develops.
We expect our common stock to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol HOME . We cannot predict whether a liquid trading market in shares of new Home Federal Bancorps common stock will develop or how liquid that market might become. In several cases, shares of common stock issued by newly converted savings institutions or mutual holding companies have traded below the price at which such shares were sold in the offering conducted by those companies. Persons purchasing shares may not be able to sell their shares when they desire if a liquid trading market does not develop and may not be able to sell them at a price equal to or above $10.00 per share even if a liquid trading market develops. The final aggregate purchase price of the shares of common stock in the offering will be based on an independent appraisal. The appraisal is not intended, and should not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of common stock. The valuation is based on estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time. After our shares begin trading, the trading price of our common stock will be determined by the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the overall performance of the economy, investor perceptions of new Home Federal Bancorp and the outlook for the financial institutions industry in general. See The Conversion and Stock Offering How We Determined Our Price and the Number of Shares to Be Issued in the Stock Offering.
The amount of common stock we will control, our articles of incorporation and bylaws, and state and federal law could discourage hostile acquisitions of control of Home Federal Bancorp.
Our directors and executive officers, as a group, beneficially owned approximately 4.42% of Home Federal Bancorps outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2007 which will be exchanged for new Home Federal Bancorp common stock. Our board of directors and executive officers intend to purchase approximately 0.5% and 0.4% of additional common stock at the minimum and maximum of the offering range, respectively. These purchases, together with their prior ownership, as well as their potential acquisition of common stock through the employee stock ownership plan and proposed new stock option and stock recognition and retention plans will result in ownership by insiders of new Home Federal Bancorp in excess of 13.9% of the total shares issued in the offering at the maximum of the offering range. This inside ownership and provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage attempts to acquire new Home Federal Bancorp, pursue a proxy contest for control of new Home Federal Bancorp, assume control of new Home Federal Bancorp by a holder of a large block of common stock, and remove new Home Federal Bancorps management, all of which stockholders might think are in their best interests. These provisions include a prohibition on any holder of common stock voting more than 10% of the outstanding common stock. See Restrictions on Acquisition of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Anti-takeover Provisions in Home Federal Bancorps Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
In addition, the business corporation law of Maryland, the state where new Home Federal Bancorp is incorporated, provides for certain restrictions on acquisition of new Home Federal Bancorp. Furthermore, federal law restricts acquisitions of control of savings and loan holding companies such as new Home Federal Bancorp.
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. 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.
11
We intend to grant stock options and restricted stock to the board of directors and certain employees following the conversion which will likely reduce your ownership interest.
If approved by a vote of the stockholders following the conversion, we intend to establish a new stock option plan with a number of shares equal to 8.7% of the shares sold in the offering and a new stock recognition and retention plan with a number of shares equal to 3.5% of the shares sold in the offering. These new stock benefit plans are being established for the benefit of selected directors, officers and employees of new Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank and are worth a total of $8.0 million at the purchase price, based on the maximum of the estimated offering range. Awards under these plans will likely reduce the ownership interest of all stockholders by increasing the number of shares outstanding. The issuance of authorized but unissued shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of options under the new stock option plan and the new stock recognition and retention plan would dilute the voting interests of existing stockholders, by up to 4.9% and 2.0%, respectively. For further discussion regarding these plans, see Pro Forma Data and Management Benefits to Be Considered Following Completion of the Conversion and Reorganization.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON ________ __, 2007
General
This proxy statement/prospectus is being furnished to you in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors of Home Federal Bancorp of proxies to be voted at the special meeting of stockholders to be held at the ______________, _______________, Nampa, Idaho on_________, _______ __, 2007 at _____ p.m., Mountain Time, and any adjournment or postponement thereof.
The purpose of the special meeting is to consider and vote upon the plan of conversion and reorganization of Home Federal MHC, Home Federal Bancorp, new Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank.
The plan of conversion and reorganization provides for a series of transactions, referred to as the conversion and offering, which will result in the elimination of the mutual holding company. The plan of conversion and reorganization will also result in the creation of a new stock form holding company which will own all of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bank, the exchange of shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp by stockholders other than Home Federal MHC, who are referred to as the public stockholders, for shares of the new stock form holding company, new Home Federal Bancorp, the issuance and the sale of additional shares to certain depositors and borrowers of Home Federal Bank 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 Bank with Home Federal Bank being the survivor; and |
|
|
|
|
|
Home Federal MHC company will convert from mutual form to a federal interim stock savings institution and simultaneously merge with and into Home Federal Bank, 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 federal savings association will be formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the newly formed Maryland corporation, new Home Federal Bancorp, and then will merge with and into Home Federal Bank. |
As a result of the above transactions, Home Federal Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the new holding company, new Home Federal Bancorp, and the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will be converted into shares of new Home Federal Bancorp 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 new Home Federal Bancorp common stock to be outstanding upon 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 stockholders in the offering.
This proxy statement/prospectus, together with the accompanying proxy card(s), is first being mailed or delivered to stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp on or about _______ __, 2007.
Voting in favor of or against the plan of conversion and reorganization includes a vote for or against the conversion of Home Federal MHC to a stock holding company as contemplated by the plan of conversion and reorganization. Voting in favor of the plan of conversion and reorganization will not obligate you to purchase any common stock in the offering and will not affect the balance, interest rate or federal deposit insurance of any deposits at Home Federal Bank.

Record Date and Voting Rights
You are entitled to one vote at the special meeting for each share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock that you owned of record at the close of business on _______ __, 2007 (the Record Date). On the Record Date, there were ________ shares of common stock outstanding.
You may vote your shares at the special meeting in person or by proxy. To vote in person, you must attend the special meeting and obtain and submit a ballot, which we will provide to you at the special meeting. 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 proposal identified in the 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
A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. If the holders of at least a majority of the total number of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote are represented in person or by proxy at the special meeting, a quorum will exist. We will include proxies marked as abstentions and broker non-votes to determine the number of shares present at the special meeting.
Vote Required
Proposal 1: Approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization. We must obtain the affirmative vote of (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp, other than Home Federal MHC, and (ii) the holders of two-thirds of the votes eligible to be cast by stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp, including Home Federal MHC.
Other Matters. We must obtain the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp.
We expect that Home Federal MHC will vote all of the shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock that it owns in favor of Proposal 1, approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization.
Effect of Broker Non-Votes
If your broker does not vote on the proposals, this will constitute a broker non-vote. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have the same effect as shares voted Against the plan of conversion and reorganization.
Revoking Your Proxy
You may revoke your grant of proxy at any time before it is voted by:
|
|
filing a written revocation of the proxy with the Secretary; |
|
|
|
|
|
submitting a signed proxy card bearing a later date; or |
|
|
|
|
|
attending and voting in person at the special meeting, but you also must file a written revocation with the Secretary of the special meeting prior to the voting. |
14
If your shares are not registered in your own name, you will need appropriate documentation from your stockholder of record to vote personally at the special meeting. Examples of such documentation include a brokers statement, letter or other document that will confirm your ownership of shares of Home Federal Bancorp.
Solicitation of Proxies
This proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying proxy card are being furnished to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting by the board of directors. Home Federal Bancorp will pay the costs of soliciting proxies from its stockholders. To the extent necessary to permit approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization and the other proposals being considered, directors, officers or employees of Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank 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 Regan & Associates, Inc., a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in soliciting proxies in connection with the special meeting of stockholders with respect to approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization as set forth in Proposal 1. We have agreed to pay Regan & Associates, Inc. a base fee of $10,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The aggregate fee will vary considerably based on the number and length of telephone solicitations made. 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 approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization 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.

APPROVAL OF THE PLAN OF CONVERSION AND REORGANIZATION
The boards of directors of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal MHC, new Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank 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 certain depositors and borrowers of Home Federal Bank and the stockholders 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 MHC, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank unanimously adopted the plan of conversion and reorganization on May 11, 2007 and it was amended on September 14, 2007. 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 certain depositors and borrowers of Home Federal Bank and the stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp. The special meeting of stockholders has been called for this purpose on _______ __, 2007.
The conversion to a stock holding company structure also includes the offering by new Home Federal Bancorp of its shares to qualifying depositors and borrowers of Home Federal Bank 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 Stock 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 More Information in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Our Reasons for the Conversion
Because it is a mutual holding company, Home Federal MHC has no authority to issue shares of capital stock and consequently has no access to market sources of equity capital. Home Federal Bancorp may issue shares but only to a limited extent, as Home Federal MHC must own a majority of its shares of common stock. This conversion is another step in our strategic plan to increase our capital and expand our operations.
Upon completion of the conversion, we will no longer be in the mutual holding company form of organization and Home Federal Bank will be organized in the form used by commercial banks, most major corporations and a majority of savings institutions. The ability to raise new equity capital through the issuance and sale of capital stock of new Home Federal Bancorp will allow Home Federal Bank the flexibility to increase its capital position more rapidly than by accumulating earnings and at times deemed advantageous by the board of directors. It will also support future growth and expanded operations, including increased lending and investment activities, as business and regulatory needs require. The ability to attract new capital also will help better address the needs of the communities we serve and enhance our ability to make acquisitions or expand into new businesses. The acquisition alternatives available to Home Federal MHC are limited as a mutual holding company. However, after the conversion, we will have increased ability to merge with other institutions. Finally, the ability to issue additional capital stock will enable us to establish additional stock compensation plans for directors, officers and employees, giving them equity interests in new Home Federal Bancorp and greater incentive to improve its performance. For a description of the stock compensation plans which will be adopted by us in connection with the conversion, see Management Benefits to Be Considered Following Completion of the Conversion and Reorganization.
The disadvantages of the offering considered the fact that operating in the stock holding company form of organization could subject Home Federal Bancorp to contests for corporate control, including the possibility that a director could be elected that advocates the particular position of the group which elected him or her, rather than positions that are in the best interests of new Home Federal Bancorp and all stockholders.
16
After considering the advantages and disadvantages of the conversion, as well as applicable fiduciary duties and alternative transactions, including remaining as a mutual holding company, the boards of directors of Home Federal MHC, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank approved the conversion as being in the best interests of our companies and equitable to the members of Home Federal MHC.
Effect of the Conversion on Current Stockholders
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 stockholders 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 federal savings bank 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, be automatically converted into and become the right to receive a number of shares of common stock of new Home Federal Bancorp determined pursuant to the exchange ratio (we refer to these shares as the exchange shares). The public stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp common stock will own the same percentage of common stock in new Home Federal Bancorp after the conversion 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 new Home Federal Bancorp held by the former public stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp common stock after the conversion will also be affected by any purchases by these persons in the offering.
Based on the independent valuation, the 58.9% of the outstanding shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock held by Home Federal MHC as of the date of the independent valuation and the 41.1% 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:

If you currently own shares of Home Federal Bancorp which are held in street name, they will be exchanged without any action on your part. If you currently are the record owner of shares of Home Federal Bancorp and hold certificates for these shares you will receive, after the conversion and offering is completed, a transmittal form with instructions to surrender your stock certificates. New certificates of our common stock will be mailed within five business days after the exchange agent receives properly executed transmittal forms and stock certificates. You should not submit a stock certificate for exchange until you receive a transmittal form.
No fractional shares of our common stock will be issued to any public stockholder of Home Federal Bancorp upon consummation of the conversion. For each fractional share that would otherwise be issued, we will pay an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the fractional share interest to which the holder would otherwise be entitled by the $10.00 per share subscription price.
Under federal law and regulations, current public stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp do not have dissenters rights or appraisal rights.
Outstanding options to purchase shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock also will convert into and become options to purchase new shares of new Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be received upon exercise of these options will be determined pursuant to the exchange ratio. The aggregate exercise price, duration and vesting schedule of these options will not be affected by the conversion. At June 30, 2007, there were 559,228 outstanding options to purchase shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock, 49,233 of which have vested. Such options will be converted into options to purchase 635,283 shares of common stock at the minimum of the offering range and 859,478 shares of common stock at the maximum of the offering range. Because Office of Thrift Supervision regulations prohibit us from repurchasing our common stock during the first year following the conversion unless compelling business reasons exist for such repurchases, we may use authorized but unissued shares to fund option exercises that occur during the first year following the conversion. If all existing options were exercised for authorized, but unissued shares of common stock following the conversion, stockholders would experience dilution of approximately 3.5%.
Effect on Stockholders Equity per Share of the Shares Exchanged. As adjusted for exchange ratio, the conversion will increase the stockholders equity share of the current stockholder of Home Federal Bancorp common stock. At June 30, 2007, the stockholders equity per share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock including shares held by Home Federal MHC was $7.22. Based on the pro forma information set forth for June 30, 2007, in Pro Forma Data, pro forma stockholders equity per share following the conversion will be $11.33, $10.38, $9.69 and $9.08 at the 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 of current stockholder would be $8.20, $9.65, $11.0 and $12.76 at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjused maximum, respectively, of the offering range.
Effect on Earnings per Share of the Shares Exchanged. As adjusted for exchange ratio, the conversion will also increase the pro forma earnings per share. For the year ended September 30, 2006, basic earnings per share of Home Federal Bancorp common stock was $0.28, including shares held by Home Federal MHC. Based on the pro forma information set forth for the year ended September 30, 2006, in Pro Forma Data, earnings per share of common stock following the conversion will range from $0.32 to $.023, respectively, for the 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 stockholders would range from $0.32 to $0.49, respectively, for the minimum to the adjusted maximum of the offering range.
Dissenters and Appraisal Rights
The public stockholders 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.
18
Exchange of Shares
The conversion of your shares of Home Federal Bancorp common stock into the right to receive shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock will occur automatically on the effective date of the conversion, 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, our transfer 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 new Home Federal Bancorp common stock will be issued to you when the conversion is completed. For each fractional share that would otherwise be issued to a stockholder 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. For more information regarding the exchange of your shares see The Conversion and Stock Offering Delivery and Exchange of Stock Certificates.
Conditions to the Conversion and Offering
Consummation of the conversion and stock 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 or the stock offering by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Consummation of the conversion and stock offering also are subject to approval by the stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp at the special meeting of stockholders of Home Federal Bancorp and of depositors and borrowers of Home Federal Bank at a special meeting of depositors to be held the same day as the special meeting of stockholders.
Effect on Existing Compensation Plans
Under the plan of conversion and reorganization, the existing 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan of Home Federal Bancorp will become stock benefit plans of new Home Federal Bancorp and shares of new Home Federal Bancorp 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 new Home Federal Bancorp common stock based upon the exchange ration. Upon completion of the conversion, (i) all rights to purchase, sell or receive Home Federal Bancorp common stock currently under any agreement between Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank and any director, officer or employee of Home Federal Bank or under any plan or program of Home Federal Bancorp or Home Federal Bank (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 new Home Federal Bancorp common stock and an identical right to make payment in common stock under any such agreement between Home Federal Bancorp or Home Federal Bank and any director, officer or employee or under such plan or program of Home Federal Bancorp or Home Federal Bank, and (ii) rights outstanding under the 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan shall be assumed by new Home Federal Bancorp and thereafter shall be rights only for shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock, with each such right being for a number of shares of new Home Federal Bancorp 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, with the price adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio but with no change in any other term or condition of such right.
New Stock Benefit Plans
Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Home Federal Bancorp has established an employee stock ownership plan for its employees which previously acquired 571,320 shares of Home Federal Bancorps common stock on
19
behalf of participants. As part of the conversion, the employee stock ownership plan intends to purchase a number of shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock equal to 8.0% of the shares sold in the offering, or 1,104,000 shares and 1,269,600 shares based on the maximum and 15% above the maximum of the offering range, respectively. We anticipate that the employee stock ownership plan will borrow funds from new Home Federal Bancorp, and that such loan will equal 100% of the aggregate purchase price of the common stock acquired by the employee stock ownership plan.
Stock Option Plan. Following consummation of the conversion and offering, new Home Federal Bancorp intends to adopt a new stock option plan. 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. At a meeting of new Home Federal Bancorps stockholders 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, new Home Federal Bancorp intends to present the stock option plan to stockholders for approval and to reserve an amount equal to 8.7% of the shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock sold in the offering, which is 1,195,696 shares or 1,375,051 shares based on the maximum and 15% above the 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 new Home Federal Bancorp 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.
Stock Recognition and Retention Plan. After the conversion and offering, new Home Federal Bancorp intends to adopt a stock recognition and retention plan for its directors, officers and employees. New Home Federal Bancorp intends to present the stock recognition and retention plan to its stockholders for their approval at a meeting of stockholders which, pursuant to applicable Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, may be held no earlier than six months after the offering. The recognition plan will be administered by a committee of new Home Federal Bancorps board of directors, which will have the responsibility to invest all funds contributed to the trust created for the stock recognition and retention plan. New Home Federal Bancorp will contribute sufficient funds to the trust so that it can purchase, following the receipt of stockholder approval, a number of shares equal to 3.5% of the shares of new Home Federal Bancorp common stock sold in the offering, which is 478,278 shares or 550,020 shares based on the maximum and 15% above the maximum of the offering range, respectively. Shares of common stock granted pursuant to the recognition plan generally will be in the form of restricted stock vesting at a rate to be determined by new Home Federal Bancorps board of directors or a board committee. Currently, new Home Federal Bancorp expects that shares awarded under the recognition plan will vest over a five year period at a rate no faster than 20% per year.

A WARNING ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as believes, expects, anticipates, estimates or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include:
| statements of our goals, intentions and expectations; | ||
| statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies; | ||
| statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and | ||
| estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits. |
These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, the following factors:
| general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area, that are worse than expected; | ||
| changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our interest margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; | ||
| increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; | ||
| changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; | ||
| our ability to successfully manage our growth; | ||
| legislative or regulatory change s that adversely affect our business; | ||
| adverse changes in the securities markets; and | ||
| changes
in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies,
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or the Financial Accounting Standards
Board. |
Any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this prospectus and in other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong because of inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors illustrated above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee. Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements and you should not rely on such statements.

HOW WE INTEND TO USE THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING
Although the actual net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock cannot be determined until the conversion is completed, we presently anticipate that the net proceeds will be between $97.5 million at the minimum of the offering range and $132.4 million at the maximum of the offering range and may be up to $152.4 million assuming an increase in the estimated offering range by 15%. See Pro Forma Data and The Conversion and Stock Offering How We Determined Our Price and the Number of Shares to Be Issued in the Stock Offering as to the assumptions used to arrive at these amounts.
We intend to use the net proceed s received from the stock offering as follows:

New Home Federal Bancorp will retain 50% of the net conversion proceeds and will purchase all of the capital stock of Home Federal Bank to be issued in the conversion in exchange for the remaining 50% of the net conversion proceeds. The net proceeds retained by new Home Federal Bancorp will initially be deposited with Home Federal Bank and may ultimately be used to support lending and investment activities, future expansion of operations through the establishment or acquisition of banking offices or other financial service providers, to pay dividends or for other general corporate purposes, including repurchasing shares of its common stock. No such acquisitions are specifically being considered at this time. Home Federal Bank intends to use the proceeds received from new Home Federal Bancorp for future lending and investment activities, in addition to general and other corporate purposes. Initially, a substantial portion of the net proceeds will be invested in short-term investments, investment-grade debt obligations and mortgage-backed securities.
New Home Federal Bancorp intends to use a portion of the net proceeds to make a loan directly to the employee stock ownership plan to enable it to purchase up to 8% of the aggregate shares of common stock sold in the offering; or if shares are not available, in the open market after the conversion. Based upon the sale of 10,200,000 shares of common stock in the offering and the sale of 13,800,000 shares of common stock in the offering and at the minimum and maximum of the estimated offering range, respectively, the loan to the Home Federal Bancorp employee stock ownership plan would be $8.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively. See Management Benefits to Be Considered Following Completion of the Conversion and Reorganization Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
New Home Federal Bancorp intends to adopt a new stock recognition and retention plan, subject to stockholder approval, and will use a portion of its proceeds to fund the purchase of shares in the open market for the plan. The stock recognition and retention plan intends to purchase in the open market 3.5% of the aggregate shares sold in the offering or $3.5 million and $4.8 million at the minimum and maximum of the estimated offering range, respectively.
The net proceeds may vary because total expenses of the conversion may be more or less than those estimated. The net proceeds will also vary if the number of shares to be issued in the conversion is adjusted to reflect a change in the estimated pro forma market value of new Home Federal Bancorp. Payments for shares made through withdrawals from existing deposit accounts at Home Federal Bank will not result in the receipt of new funds for investment by Home Federal Bank but will result in a reduction of Home Federal Banks interest expense and liabilities as funds are transferred from interest-bearing certificates or other deposit accounts.
24
WE INTEND TO CONTINUE TO PAY QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDENDS
Home Federal Bancorp has paid quarterly cash dividends since the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Home Federal Bancorps current quarterly dividend is $0.055 per share. After we complete the conversion, dividends will be paid by new Home Federal Bancorp 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 per share paid by Home Federal Bancorp on its common stock as adjusted for the additional shares issued pursuant to the exchange ratio. For example, based on the current cash dividend of $0.055 per share and an assumed exchange ratio of 1.5369 at the maximum of the offering range, the cash dividend, if paid, would be approximately $0.035 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 new Home Federal Bancorp 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 result 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 in the future. We cannot guarantee that the amount of dividends that we pay after the conversion will be equal to the per share dividend amount that Home Federal Bancorps stockholders currently receive, as adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio. In addition, during the first three years after the conversion, no dividend will be declared or paid if it would be classified as a return of capital.
Dividends from new Home Federal Bancorp may eventually depend, in part, upon receipt of dividends from Home Federal Bank, because new Home Federal Bancorp initially will have no source of income other than dividends from Home Federal Bank, 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.
Home Federal Banks ability to pay dividends to new Home Federal Bancorp 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 Bank in any calendar year would exceed the total of its net profits for the year combined with its nets 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 Bank will be prohibited from paying cash dividends to new Home Federal Bancorp to the extent that any such payment would reduce Home Federal Banks regulatory capital below required capital levels or would impair the liquidation account to be established for the benefit of Home Federal Banks eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders. See The Conversion and Offering Liquidation Rights.
Any payment of dividends by Home Federal Bank to new Home Federal Bancorp which would be deemed to be drawn out of Home Federal Banks bad debt reserves would require a payment of taxes at the then-current tax rate of Home Federal Bank on the amount of earnings deemed to be removed from the reserves for such distribution. Home Federal Bank does not intend to make any distribution to new Home Federal Bancorp that would create such a federal tax liability. See Taxation.
Unlike Home Federal Bank, new Home Federal Bancorp is not subject to the above regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends to its stockholders.
Home Federal Bancorps common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol HOME, and there is an established market for such common stock. We have applied to have the common stock of new Home Federal Bancorp listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and we expect that the common stock will trade under the symbol HOMED for a period of 20 trading days after completion of the offering. Thereafter, new Home Federal Bancorps trading symbol will revert to HOME We cannot assure you our common stock will be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Making a market may include the solicitation of potential buyers and sellers in order to match buy and sellorders. The development of a liquid public market depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers, the presence
25
of which is not within our control or the control of any market maker. You should view the common stock as a long-term investment. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that you will be able to sell your shares at or above the purchase price. |

be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options under the stock option plan.
See Management Benefits to be Considered Following Completion of the

|
(4) | The retained
earnings of Home Federal Bank will be substantially restricted after the conversion. Additionally, Home Federal Bank will be prohibited from paying any dividend
that would reduce its regulatory capital below the amount required for the liquidation
account that will be set up in connection with the conversion. See The Conversion

|
(5) | Assumes that
8% of the shares sold in the offering will be purchased by the employee stock
ownership plan financed by a loan from new Home Federal Bancorp. The loan will
be repaid principally from Home Federal Banks contributions to the employee stock ownership plan. Since new Home Federal Bancorp will finance the
employee stock ownership plan debt, this debt will be eliminated through consolidation
and no liability will be reflected on new Home Federal Bancorps consolidated
financial statements. Accordingly, the amount of shares of common stock acquired by the employee
stock ownership plan is shown in this table as a reduction of total
stockholders equity. |
|
(6) | Assumes a
number of shares of common stock equal to 3.5% of the shares of common stock sold
in the offering. The dollar amount of common stock to be purchased is based on the $10.00
per share subscription price in the offering and represents unearned compensation.
This amount does not reflect possible increases or decreases in the value of common
stock relative to the subscription price in the offering. As new Home Federal Bancorp
accrues compensation expense to reflect the vesting of shares pursuant to the new
stock recognition and retention plan, the credit to equity will be offset by a charge
to noninterest expense. Implementation of the new stock recognition and retention
plan will require stockholder approval. The funds to be used by the new stock recognition
and retention plan to purchase the shares will be provided by new Home Federal
Bancorp. See Management Benefits to Be Considered Following Completion
of the Conversion and Reorganization Stock Recognition and Retention Plan. |
HOME FEDERAL BANK
EXCEEDS ALL REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
At June 30, 2007, Home Federal Bank exceeded all of its applicable regulatory capital requirements. The table on the following page sets forth the regulatory capital of Home Federal Bank at June 30, 2007 and the pro forma regulatory capital of Home Federal Bank after giving effect to the conversion, based upon the sale of the number of shares shown in the table. The pro forma regulatory capital amounts reflect the receipt by Home Federal Bank of 50% of the net stock proceeds, after expenses. The pro forma risk-based capital amounts assume the investment of the net proceeds received by Home Federal Bank in assets that have a risk-weight of 20% under applicable regulations, as if such net proceeds had been received and so applied at June 30, 2007.

We cannot determine the actual net proceeds from the sale of our common stock until the conversion is completed. However, we estimate that net proceeds will be between $97.5 million and $132.4 million, or $152.4 million if the estimated offering range is increased by 15%, based upon the following assumptions:
| all shares of common stock will be sold through non-transferable rights to subscribe for the common stock, in order of priority, to: |
| eligible account holders, who are depositors of Home Federal Bank with account balances of at least $50.00 as of the close of business on March 31, 2006, |
|||
| the proposed employee stock ownership plan, which will purchase 8% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering, |
|||
| supplemental eligible account holders, who are depositors of Home Federal Bank with account balances of at least $50.00 as of the close of business on September 30, 2007, and |
|||
| other members, who are depositors of Home Federal Bank and borrowers of Home Federal Bank as of the close of business on _______ __ , 2007, and March 16, 2004, respectively, other than eligible account holders or supplemental eligible account holders. |
| Keefe, Bruyette & Woods will receive a success fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from the offering, excluding shares of common stock sold to directors, officers, employees and the employee stock ownership plan; and |
|||
| total expenses, excluding the success fee paid to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, are estimated to be approximately $1.2 million. Actual expenses may vary from those estimated. |
Pro forma consolidated net income and stockholders equity of new Home Federal Bancorp have been calculated for the year ended September 30, 2006 and for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 as if the common stock to be issued in the conversion had been sold at the beginning of the period and the net proceeds had been invested at 4.91% and 4.91%, which represent the yields on one-year U.S. Government securities at September 30, 2006 and at June 30, 2007. We believe that this rate more accurately reflects a pro forma reinvestment rate than the arithmetic average method, which assumes reinvestment of the net proceeds at a rate equal to the average of the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of deposits for these periods. The effect of withdrawals from deposit accounts for the purchase of common stock has not been reflected. A tax rate of 39.0% has been assumed for periods resulting in an after-tax yields of 3.00% and 3.00% for the year ended September 30, 2006 and for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. We have also assumed that approximately 50% of the shares of common stock being offered will be sold in the subscription and community offerings and the remaining 50% of the shares of common stock will be sold in the syndicated community 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 to give effect to the shares purchased by the employee stock ownership plan. See Note 2 to the following tables. As discussed under How We Intend to Use the Proceeds From this Offering, new Home Federal Bancorp intends to make a loan to fund the purchase of 8% of the common stock sold in the offering by the employee stock ownership plan and intends to retain 50% of the net proceeds from the conversion.
No effect has been given in the tables to the issuance of additional shares of common stock pursuant to the proposed stock option plan. See Management Benefits to Be Considered Following Completion of the Conversion and Reorganization Stock Option Plan. The table below gives effect to the new stock recognition and retention plan, which is expected to be adopted by new Home Federal Bancorp following the conversion and presented along with the new stock option plan to stockholders for approval at an annual or special meeting of stockholders to be held at least six
30
months following the completion of the conversion. If the new stock recognition and retention plan is approved by stockholders, the stock recognition and retention plan intends to acquire an amount of common stock equal to 3.5% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering, either through open market purchases or from authorized but unissued shares of common stock, if permissible. The following tables assume that stockholder approval has been obtained, as to which there can be no assurance, and that the shares acquired by the stock recognition and retention plan are purchased in the open market at $10.00 per share. No effect has been given to new Home Federal Bancorps results of operations after the conversion, the market price of the common stock after the conversion or a less than 3.5% purchase by the new stock recognition and retention plan.
The following pro forma information may not be representative of the financial effects of the foregoing transactions at the dates on which such transactions actually occur and should not be taken as indicative of future results of operations. Pro forma stockholders equity represents the difference between the stated amount of assets and liabilities of Home Federal Bancorp computed in accordance with GAAP. Stockholders equity does not give effect to intangible assets in the event of a liquidation, to Home Federal Banks bad debt reserve or to the liquidation account to be maintained by Home Federal Bank. 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 stockholders in the event of liquidation.
The tables on the following pages summarize historical consolidated data of Home Federal Bank and new Home Federal Bancorps pro forma data at or for the dates and periods indicated based on the assumptions set forth above and in the table and should not be used as a basis for projection of the market value of our common stock following the conversion and the offering.

(1) | As adjusted to give effect to an increase in the number of shares which could occur as a result of a 15% increase in the offering range to reflect demand for the shares, changes in market and financial conditions following the commencement of the offering or regulatory considerations. |
|
(2) | Assumes that 8% of shares of common stock sold in the offering will be purchased by the employee stock ownership plan. For purposes of this table, the funds used to acquire these shares are assumed to have been borrowed by the employee stock ownership plan from new Home Federal Bancorp. Home Federal Bank intends to make annual contributions to the employee stock ownership plan in an amount at least equal to the required principal and interest payments on the debt. Home Federal Banks total annual payments on the employee stock ownership plan debt are based upon 15 equal annual installments of principal and interest. Statement of Position 93-6 requires that an employer record compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of the shares committed to be released to employees. The pro forma adjustments assume that the employee stock ownership plan shares are allocated in equal annual installments based on the number of loan repayment installments assumed to be paid by Home Federal Bank, the fair value of the common stock remains equal to the subscription price and the employee stock ownership plan expense reflects an effective combined federal and state tax rate of 39.0%. The unallocated employee stock ownership plan shares are reflected as a reduction of stockholders equity. No reinvestment is assumed on proceeds contributed to fund the employee stock ownership plan. The pro forma net income further assumes that 40,800, 48,000, 55,200 and 63,480 shares were committed to be released during the nine-month period ending June 30, 2007; and 54,400, 64,000, 73,600 and 84,640 shares were committed to be released during the 12-month period ending September 30, 2006, at the minimum, midpoint, maximum, and adjusted maximum of the offering range, respectively, and in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6, only the employee stock ownership plan shares committed to be released during the period were considered outstanding for purposes of income per share calculations. See Management Benefits to Be Considered Following Completion of the Conversion and Reorganization Employee Stock Ownership Plan. |
|
(3) | If approved by new Home Federal Bancorps stockholders, the new stock recognition and retention plan may purchase an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to 3.5% of the shares sold in the offering (or possibly a greater number of shares if the plan is implemented more than one year after completion of the conversion). Stockholder approval of the new stock recognition and retention plan, and purchases by the plan may not occur earlier than six months after the completion of the conversion. The shares may be acquired directly from new Home Federal Bancorp or through open market purchases. The funds to be used by the new stock recognition and retention plan to purchase the shares will be provided by new Home Federal Bancorp. The table assumes that (i) the new stock recognition and retention plan acquires the shares through open market purchases at $10.00 per share, (ii) 15% and 20% of the amount contributed to the new stock recognition and retention plan is amortized as an expense during the nine months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and (iii) the stock recognition and retention plan expense reflects an effective combined federal and state tax rate of 39.0%. Assuming stockholder approval of the new stock recognition and retention plan and that shares of common stock (equal to 3.5% of the shares sold in the offering) are awarded through the use of authorized but un issued shares of common stock, stockholders would have their ownership and voting interests diluted by approximately 2.0%. See Management Benefits to Be Considered Following Completion of the Conversion and Reorganization Stock Recognition and Retention Plan. |
|
(4) | If approved by new Home Federal Bancorps stockholders, the new stock option plan may grant options to acquire an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to 10% of the shares sold in the offering (or possibly a greater number of shares if the plan is implemented more than one year after completion of the conversion). Stockholder approval of the new stock option plan may not occur earlier than six months after the completion of the conversion. In calculating the pro forma effect of the stock option plan, it is assumed that the exercise price of the stock options and the trading price of the common stock at the date of grant were $10.00 per share, the estimated grant-date fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $2.71 for each option, the aggregate grant-date fair value of the stock options was amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over a five-year vesting period of the options, and that 25% of the amortization expense (or the assumed portion relating to options granted to directors) resulted in a tax benefit using an assumed tax rate |
36
of 39.0%. The actual expense of the stock option plan will be determined by the grant-date fair value of the options, which will depend on a number of factors, including the valuation assumptions used in the option pricing model ultimately adopted. Under the above assumptions, the adoption of the stock option plan will result in no additional shares under the treasury stock method for purposes of calculating earnings per share. There can be no assurance that the actual exercise price of the stock options will be equal to the $10.00 price per share. If a portion of the shares to satisfy the exercise of options under the stock option plan are obtained from the issuance of authorized but unissued shares, our net income per share and stockholders equity per share will decrease. The issuance of authorized but previously unissued shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of options under such plan would dilute existing stockholders ownership and voting interests by approximately 4.9%. |
||
(5) | Income per share computations are determined by taking the number of shares assumed to be sold in the offering and, in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6, subtracting the employee stock ownership plan shares that have not been committed for release during the period. See note 2, above. |
|
(6) | The retained earnings of Home Federal Bank will be substantially restricted after the conversion. See The Conversion and Stock Offering Effect of the Conversion Depositors Rights if We Liquidate Liquidation Rights. |

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a community-based financial institution primarily serving the Boise, Idaho and surrounding metropolitan area known as the Treasure Valley region of southwestern Idaho, including Ada, Canyon, Elmore and Gem counties, through our 15 full-service banking offices and two loan centers. We are in the business of attracting deposits from the public and utilizing those deposits to originate loans. We offer a wide range of loan products to meet the demands of our customers. Historically, lending activities have been primarily directed toward the origination of residential and commercial real estate loans. Real estate lending activities have been primarily focused on first mortgages on owner occupied, and one- to four-family residential properties. To an increasing extent in recent years, lending activities have also included the origination of residential and commercial construction and land development loans and home equity loans. While continuing our commitment to residential lending, management expects commercial lending, including commercial real estate, builder finance and commercial business lending, to become increasingly important activities for us. Consistent with this strategy, we appointed Mr. Williams as President of Home Federal Bank in September 2006 and expect him to succeed Mr. Stevens in September 2008. Mr. Williams has extensive experience in business related lending.
Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. The recent interest rate environment, which has caused short-term market interest rates to rise, while longer term interest rates have remained stable, has had a negative impact on our interest rate spread and net interest margin, which has reduced profitability and caused a decrease in our return on average assets and return on average equity. To offset the negative impact the current interest rate environment is having on our profitability, we are seeking to find means of increasing interest income while controlling expenses. We intend to diversity the mix of our assets by reducing the percentage of our assets that are lower-yielding residential loans and mortgage-backed securities and increasing the percentage of our assets consisting of construction and land development, commercial real estate, and commercial business loans that have higher risk-adjusted returns.
Our operating expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, advertising, postage and supplies, professional services and, when applicable, deposit insurance premiums. Compensation and benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of building and equipment, consist primarily of lease payments, taxes, depreciation charges, maintenance and costs of utilities.
Following the completion of the offering, we anticipate that our operating expense will increase as a result of the increased compensation expenses associated with the purchases of shares of common stock by our employee stock ownership plan, and awards under additional stock-based incentive plans. While these additional expenses will negatively impact earnings, we do not expect them to completely offset the additional income we expect to receive by leveraging the proceeds from this offering.
Assuming that the adjusted maximum number of shares is sold in the offering:
| our employee
stock ownership plan will acquire 1,269,600 additional shares of common stock with
a $12.7 million loan from new Home Federal Bancorp, that is expected to be repaid
over 15 years, resulting in an annual pre-tax expense of approximately $846,400 (assuming
that the common stock maintains a value of $10.00 per shares); |
||
| our new stock
option plan would authorize the grant of options to purchase shares up to 8.7% of
the amount of our shares sold in the offering to eligible participants, which would
result in |
38
compensation
expense over the vesting period of the options. Assuming
the market price of the common stock is $10.00 per share, all options are granted
with an exercise price of $10.00 per share and have a term of 10 years; the dividend
yield on the stock is zero; the risk free interest rate is 5.03%; and the volatility
rate on the common stock is 11.31%, the estimated grant-date fair value of the options
utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing analysis is $2.71 per option granted. Assuming
this value is amortized over the five year vesting period, the corresponding annual
pre-tax expense associated with the stock option plan would be approximately $745,000;
and |
|||
| our new stock
recognition and retention plan would authorize the award of a number of shares equal
to up to 3.5% of the amount of our shares sold in the offering to eligible participants,
which would be expense as the awards vest. Assuming that all shares are awarded
at a price of $10.00 per share, and that the awards vest over a five year period,
the corresponding annual pre-tax expense would be approximately $1.1 million. |
The actual expense that will be recorded for the additional shares purchased by our employee stock ownership plan will be determined by the market value of the shares of common stock as they are released to employees over the term of the loan, and depending on whether the loan is repaid faster than its contractual term allowing for an acceleration in the release of shares held as collateral for the loan. Accordingly, increases in the stock price above $10.00 per share will increase the total employee stock ownership plan expense, and any accelerated repayment of the loan along with an accelerated release of shares will increase the annual employee stock ownership plan expense. Additionally, the actual expense of the restricted shares will be determined by the fair market value of the stock on the grant date, which might be greater than $10.00 per share. Further, the actual expense of the stock options will be determined by the grant-date fair value of the options which will depend on a number of factors, including the valuation assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For more information of expenses associated with new equity based benefit plans, see Pro Forma Data.
Our results of operations may also be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
Operating Strategy
Our strategies center on our continued development into a full service, community-oriented bank. Our goal is to continue to enhance our franchise value and earnings through controlled growth in our banking operations, especially small business lending, while maintaining the community-oriented customer service and sales focus that has characterized our success to date. In order to be successful in this objective and increase stockholder value, we are committed to the following strategies:
Continue Growing in Our Existing Markets. We believe there is a large customer base in our market that is dissatisfied with the service received from larger regional banks. By offering quicker decision making in the delivery of banking products and services, offering customized products where appropriate, and providing customer access to our senior managers, we hope to distinguish ourselves from larger, regional banks operating in our market areas. Our larger capital base resulting from this offering and our plans to diversify our product mix should allow us to compete effectively against smaller banks.
Continue Our Disciplined Execution.We believe our success as a banking organization depends on a disciplined approach to originating loans and monitoring the performance of our loan portfolio. Despite our growth, we have consistently maintained strong asset quality. We believe our strong asset quality is the result of our underwriting standards, experienced loan officers and the strength of the local economy. In addition, many of the commercial loans we originate are to borrowers well known by our loan officers from existing and prior banking relationships. At June 30, 2007, our nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.07% and for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 our ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.02%. Our year-end nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets and ratio of net charge-offs to average loans have not exceeded 0.17% and 0.10%, respectively, in any of the past five years.
39
Expanding Our Product Offerings. We intend to continue our emphasis on originating commercial lending products that diversify our loan portfolio by increasing the percentage of our assets consisting of higher-yielding construction and land development and commercial real estate and commercial business loans with higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, while still providing high quality loan products for single-family residential borrowers. We also intend to selectively add products to provide diversification of revenue sources and to capture our customers full relationship. We intend to continue to expand our business by cross selling our loan and deposit products and services to our customers in order to increase our fee income.
Focus on our Branch Expansion. Branch expansion has played a significant role in our ability to grow loans, deposits and customer relationships. Since August 2000 we have opened eight branches in our existing markets. We are planning four to six new branches that we intend to open within the next 24 months. Our long-term strategy is to build two or three branches per year if appropriate sites can be identified and obtained. We will also actively search for appropriate acquisitions to enhance our ability to deliver products and services in our existing markets and to expand into surrounding markets.
Increasing Our Core Transaction Deposits. A fundamental part of our overall strategy is to improve both the level and the mix of deposits that serve as a funding base for asset growth. By growing demand deposit accounts and other transaction accounts, we intend to reduce our reliance on higher-cost certificates of deposit and borrowings such as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. In order to expand our core deposit franchise, we are focusing on introducing additional products and services to obtain money market and time deposits by bundling them with other consumer services. Business deposits are being pursued by the introduction of cash management products and by specific targeting of small business customers.
Hire Experienced Employees With a Customer Service Focus. Our ability to continue to attract and retain banking professionals with strong business banking and service skills, community relationships and significant knowledge of our markets is key to our success. We believe that by focusing on experienced bankers who are established in their communities, we enhance our market position and add profitable growth opportunities. We emphasize to our employees the importance of delivering exemplary customer service and seeking opportunities to build further relationships with our customers. Our goal is to compete by relying on the strength of our customer service and relationship banking approach.
Continuing an internal management culture which is driven by a focus on profitability, productivity and accountability for results and which responds proactively to the challenge of change. The primary method for reinforcing our culture is the comprehensive application of our Pay for Performance total compensation program. Every employee has clearly defined accountabilities and performance standards that tie directly or indirectly to our profitability. All incentive compensation is based on specific profitability measures, sales volume goals or a combination of specific profitability measures and individual performance goals. This approach encourages all employees to focus on our profitability and has created an environment that embraces new products, services and delivery systems.
Critical Accounting Policies
We use estimates and assumptions in our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of our financial statements. These policies relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the associated provision for loan losses, the fair market value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, as well as deferred income taxes and the associated income tax expense. Management reviews the allowance for loan losses for adequacy on a quarterly basis and establishes a provision for loan losses that it believes is sufficient for the loan portfolio growth expected and the loan quality of the existing portfolio. The carrying value of the capitalized mortgage servicing rights is also assessed on a quarterly basis. Income tax expense and deferred income taxes are calculated using an estimated tax rate and are based on managements and our tax advisors understanding of our effective tax rate and the tax code. These
40
estimates are reviewed by our independent auditor on an annual basis and by our regulators when they examine Home Federal Bank.
Allowance for Loan Losses. Management recognizes that loan losses may occur over the life of a loan and that the allowance for loan losses must be maintained at a level necessary to absorb specific losses on impaired loans and probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our Asset Liability Management Committee assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The Committee analyzes several different factors including delinquency rates, charge-off rates and the changing risk profile of our loan portfolio, as well as local economic conditions such as unemployment rates, bankruptcies and vacancy rates of business and residential properties.
We believe 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, requiring management to make assumptions about future losses on loans. The impact of a sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.
Our 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 our historical loss experience.
The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period operating results and decreased by the amount of actual loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.
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 mortgage loan prepayment speeds assumption is significantly impacted by interest rates. In general, during periods of falling interest rates, the mortgage loans prepay faster and the value of our mortgage servicing asset declines. Conversely, during periods of rising rates, the value of mortgage servicing rights generally increases due to slower rates of prepayments. We perform a quarterly review of mortgage servicing rights for potential changes 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in an institutions 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 Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. 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 bank for income tax purposes in the future.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006
General. Total assets decreased $33.0 million, or 4.3%, to $728.3 million at June 30, 2007 from $761.3 million at September 30, 2006. Mortgage-backed securities decreased $28.7 million, or 14.7%, to $166.8 million and were the primary reason for the asset decline during the nine-month period. As a result, we also reduced outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances by $21.5 million, or 10.2%, to $189.3 million. Total deposits decreased $11.6 million, or 2.7%, to $418.7 million as customers transferred funds into higher rate deposit products during the past several quarters and as a result of the transfer from Home Federal Bank of a single commercial relationship that reduced outstanding balances by approximately $4.1 million during the nine-month period.
Assets. For the nine months ended June 30, 2007, total assets decreased $33.0 million. The increases and decreases were primarily concentrated in the following asset categories:

Cash and amounts due from depository institutions increased $4.7 million as a result of normal fluctuations of amounts due from other financial institutions.
Mortgage-backed securities decreased $28.7 million to $166.8 million at June 30, 2007, from $195.5 million at September 30, 2006. During the nine months ended June 30, 2007, we purchased $2.1 million of 5/1 hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac. Repayments of principal and proceeds from sales totaled $25.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. We purchase mortgage-backed securities to manage interest rate sensitivity, supplement loan originations and provide liquidity.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we transferred our entire portfolio of held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities to available for sale to help meet future liquidity needs associated with increasing commercial banking and other lending activities. As part of our liquidity management, we do not intend to classify any investments as held to maturity in the foreseeable future.
Loans receivable, net, decreased $11.3 million to $491.8 million at June 30, 2007, from $503.1 million at September 30, 2006. One- to four-family residential mortgage loans decreased $34.0 million as we sold a majority of the one- to four-family loans that we originate. In prior years, we held a portion of the one- to four-family loans we originated in our loan portfolio. Commercial loans increased $18.5 million, or 12.8%, during the nine months ended June 30, 2007. We have made significant progress in building our commercial and small business banking programs, including the addition of an experienced commercial banking team to expand our existing commercial real estate lending program. We will also emphasize other commercial banking activities, including business banking, cash management and other products associated with a full-service commercial bank.
Deposits. Deposits decreased $11.6 million, or 2.7%, to $418.7 million at June 30, 2007, from $430.3 million at September 30, 2006. A significant portion of the decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits was the result of a single commercial relationship that reduced outstanding balances by approximately $4.1 million during the nine-month period. Money market deposits accounted for the majority of the increase in interest-bearing deposits as a result of our increased emphasis on commercial accounts and as customers transferred funds into higher
42
rate deposit products. The decrease in certificates of deposit was primarily the result of our choosing not to match rates offered by local competitors that in some instances exceeded our alternative funding sources.

Borrowings. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $21.5 million, or 10.2%, to $189.3 million at June 30, 2007, from $210.8 million at September 30, 2006. We use Federal Home Loan Bank advances as an alternative funding source to deposits, and to manage funding costs, reduce interest rate risk and to leverage our balance sheet.
Equity. Stockholders equity increased $2.1 million, or 2.0%, to $110.0 million at June 30, 2007, from $107.9 million at September 30, 2006. The increase was primarily a result of the $4.1 million in net income and the allocation of earned employee stock ownership plan shares, equity compensation and the exercise of stock options totaling $2.3 million, offset by $959,000 in cash dividends paid to stockholders and $3.3 million increase in unrealized losses on securities available for sale. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we transferred our entire portfolio of held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities to available for sale for additional liquidity purposes. As a result, stockholders equity was decreased by the securities unrealized holding loss of $1.9 million at the date of transfer. On June 15, 2007, we paid $0.055 per share in cash dividends to stockholders of record as of June 1, 2007, excluding shares held by Home Federal MHC.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006
General. Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2006.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $1.2 million, or 7.1%, to $16.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, from $17.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to the ongoing compression of our net interest margin, despite an overall increase in average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities of $32.6 million and $38.2 million, respectively.
Our net interest margin decreased 39 basis points to 3.02% for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, from 3.41% for the same period of the prior year. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 76 basis points to 3.62% for the nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to 2.86% for the same period 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 we believe the repricing of existing loans and the emphasis on expanding the commercial and small business banking programs, including both loan and deposit products, 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.
43
The following table sets forth the results of balance sheet growth and changes in interest rates to our net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). Changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, are allocated proportionately to the changes in rate and volume.

The increase during the period was primarily attributable to the $32.6 million, or 4.8%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets to 6.03% from 5.73% as a result of the general increase in interest rates and changes in the our loan portfolio mix.

The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased $38.2 million, or 6.9%, to $592.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $554.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily a result of growth in certificates of deposits and additional Federal Home Loan Bank advances. As a result of general market rate increases, the average cost of funds for total interest-bearing liabilities increased 76 basis points to 3.62% for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2.86% for the nine months ended June 30, 2006.

Provision for Loan Losses. In connection with its analysis of the loan portfolio for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, management determined that a provision for loan losses of $71,000 was required for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, compared to a provision for loan losses of $320,000 established for the nine months ended
45
June 30, 2006. The $249,000, or 77.8% decrease in the provision primarily reflects an $11.9 million reduction in loans receivable for the current year as compared to an increased of $63.1 million for the same period of last year. Our credit quality also remained excellent, as non-performing assets were $520,000, or 0.07% of total assets, at June 30, 2007, compared to $30,000, or 0.004% of total assets, at June 30, 2006. We do not originate or purchase one- to four-family subprime loans. Management considers the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2007 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. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.
Prior to March 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses included the estimated loss from unfunded loan commitments. The preferred accounting method is to separate the unfunded loan commitments from the disbursed loan amounts and record the unfunded loan commitment portion as a liability. At June 30, 2007, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $139,000, which was included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Including the $139,000 liability for unfunded commitments, the allowance for loan losses was $2.9 million, or 0.59% of gross loans at June 30, 2007, compared to $3.2 million, or 0.64% at June 30, 2006.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $283,000, or 3.4%, to $8.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $8.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to a $374,000, or 47.1%, increase in gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans offset by a $176,000, or 374.5%, decrease related to the value of the mortgage servicing rights. We currently sell a majority of the one- to four-family residential mortgage loans that we originate. For the nine months ended June 30, 2006, a larger percentage of the residential mortgage loans originated were held in the loan portfolio. For the nine months ended June 30, 2006, we had a $201,000 write-up of the value of the mortgage servicing rights. As a result of the conversion of our core processing system during the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we retired fixed assets and software related to the prior system, resulting in an $86,000 charge to other noninterest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2006.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $72,000, or less than 1%, to $18.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $18.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006.

Compensation and benefits decreased $65,000, or less than 1%, to $11.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $11.4 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the number of full-time equivalent employees offset by increased costs related to equity compensation plans and annual merit increases. As of June 30, 2007, we employed 215 full-time equivalent employees, compared to 240 at June 30, 2006, a decrease of approximately 10%. Advertising costs increased $232,000, or 31.4%, primarily as a result of marketing costs related to a debit card rewards program and a business banking campaign that were initiated during the current fiscal year. Other noninterest expenses decreased $352,000 primarily as a result of costs incurred in the prior fiscal year related to the conversion of the core processing system and professional costs associated with the initial year of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
Our efficiency ratio, which is the percentage of noninterest expense to net interest income plus noninterest income, was 73.1% for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 70.1% for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in efficiency ratio was primarily attributable to a $1.2 million, or 7.1%, decrease in net interest income. By definition, a lower efficiency ratio would be an indication that we are more efficiently utilizing resources to generate net interest income and other fee income.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $300,000, or 10.6%, to $2.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.8 million for the same period a year ago. Income before income taxes decreased $778,000, or 10.6%, to $6.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $7.4 million
47
for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. Our combined federal and state effective income tax rate for the current period was unchanged at 38.2% as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Additionally, as a result of the reclassification of our mortgage-backed securities to available-for-sale, our deferred tax position changed from a net liability of ($800,000) to a net asset of $1.7 million.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005
General. Total assets increased $71.7 million, or 10.4%, to $761.3 million at September 30, 2006 from $689.6 million at September 30, 2005. Loans receivable, net, increased $72.1 million, or 16.7%, to $503.1 million, and was the primary reason for the asset growth during the fiscal year. The demand for loans was funded with increased deposits of $34.0 million and Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $34.9 million.
Assets. For the year ended September 30, 2006, total assets increased $71.7 million. The increases and decreases were primarily concentrated in the following asset categories:

Mortgage-backed securities decreased $343,000 to $195.5 million at September 30, 2006, from $195.8 million at September 30, 2005. For the year ended September 30, 2006, we purchased $30.3 million of mortgage-backed securities that consisted primarily of hybrid adjustable and fixed rate securities with terms of 15 years or less. Normal repayments of principal totaled $30.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2006. We may purchase mortgage-backed securities to manage interest rate sensitivity and to supplement loan originations during periods when the we are not able to originate the desired type or volume of portfolio loans.
Loans receivable, net, increased $72.1 million to $503.1 million at September 30, 2006, from $430.9 million at September 30, 2005. One- to four-family residential loans and commercial real estate loans increased $50.8 million and $17.8 million, respectively, during the year ended September 30, 2006. During the 2006 fiscal year, we purchased $38.8 million of hybrid adjustable, one- to four-family mortgage loans located primarily in the Western United States. Purchased mortgage loans allow us to increase interest-earning assets, manage interest rate risk, and geographically diversify our mortgage loan portfolio at a relatively low overhead cost. As of September 30, 2006, over 90% of our loan portfolio was secured by real estate, either as primary or secondary collateral.
Loans held for sale decreased $1.4 million to $4.1 million at September 30, 2006, from $5.5 million at September 30, 2005. The balance of loans held for sale can vary significantly from period to period reflecting loan demand by borrowers and the current interest rate environment. We originate fixed-rate residential loans, the majority of which are sold in the secondary market. Selling fixed-rate mortgage loans allows us to reduce interest rate risk associated with long term, fixed-rate products and provides funds to make new loans and diversify the loan portfolio.
Deposits. Deposits increased $34.0 million, or 8.6%, to $430.3 million at September 30, 2006, from $396.3 million at September 30, 2005. Certificates of deposit accounted for the majority of the increase in total
48
deposits during the period with certificates of six to 12-month terms having the largest increase in balances. Demand deposits and savings accounts decreased $2.3 million, or 1.2%, as customers migrated towards higher rate deposit products during the fiscal year.

Equity. Stockholders equity increased $6.5 million, or 6.4%, to $107.9 million at September 30, 2006, from $101.4 million at September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily a result of the $6.2 million in net income and earned employee stock ownership plan shares and equity compensation totaling $1.5 million, offset by $1.2 million of cash dividends paid to stockholders. On September 15, 2006, we paid $0.055 per share in cash dividends to stockholders of record as of September 1, 2006, excluding shares held by Home Federal MHC.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005
General. Net income for the year ended September 30, 2006 was $6.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the year ended September 30, 2005. Results for the year ended September 30, 2005 included the $386,000 pre-tax gain on the sale of a former branch and a $1.8 million pre-tax expense for establishing the Home Federal Foundation, Inc. a charitable foundation established in connection with the initial formation and minority stock offering of Home Federal Bancorp. Excluding the gain on the sale of the branch and the expense for establishing the Home Federal Foundation, we had net income of $6.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the year ended September 30, 2005.
The following table reconciles our actual net income to pro forma net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, exclusive of the sale of the branch and the contribution to the Home Federal Foundation, as adjusted for federal and state taxes:
