PRESS RELEASE - For Immediate Release


HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

Nampa, ID (January 21, 2005) - Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: HOME), the parent company of Home Federal Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $74,000, or less than $.01 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, compared to $1.0 million for the same period a year ago. Excluding the $1.8 million cost of establishing the Home Federal Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation"), the Company had net income of $1.2 million, or $.08 per share for the first quarter.

On December 6, 2004, Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Nampa completed its mutual holding company reorganization, at which time the Company was organized. As a result, comparisons to prior periods refer to the results of Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Nampa, and per share data is not applicable. The per share data for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 is being reported on shares outstanding from December 6, 2004 through December 31, 2004.

The quarter ended December 31, 2004 is the first quarter of results since the completion of the mutual holding company reorganization and the Company's minority stock offering. As previously discussed in the prospectus and related materials in connection with the stock offering, the Company established the Foundation by contributing $1.8 million, consisting of 146,000 shares of its common stock and $365,000 in cash. The Foundation was formed for the purpose of supporting charitable organizations and activities that enhance the quality of life for residents within the Company's market area.

The following table reconciles the Company's actual net income to pro forma net income, exclusive of the contribution to the Foundation (in thousands, except share data):

In connection with the mutual holding company reorganization and the minority stock offering, the Company issued a total of 15,208,750 common shares, approximately 40% of which were sold to the Bank's depositors, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $53.6 million. Approximately 0.96% of the shares issued by the Company in the stock offering were contributed to the Foundation. The remaining 59.04% of the shares issued are held by Home Federal MHC, a federally-chartered mutual holding company.

First quarter revenues, which consist of net interest income before the provision for loan losses and non-interest income, increased 10% to $7.2 million for the quarter, compared to $6.5 million in the first quarter last year. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased 19% to $5.0 million for the quarter, compared to $4.2 million for the same quarter of the last fiscal year.

For the first quarter, net interest income after provision for loan losses grew 26% to $4.9 million, compared to $3.9 million for the same quarter a year ago. For the quarter, the net interest margin was 3.51% compared to 3.94% for the first quarter last year.

Non-interest income decreased 5% to $2.2 million, compared to $2.3 million in the same quarter a year ago. As management expected, the slowdown in mortgage refinance activity impacted the gains on the sale of single-family residential loans.

First quarter non-interest expense was $7.1 million compared to $4.6 million a year earlier. The $2.5 million increase was primarily a result of the $1.8 million contribution to the Foundation and increased employee compensation. Excluding the contribution to the Foundation, the efficiency ratio was 72.61% for the quarter, compared to 70.38% for the same quarter last year. The efficiency ratio indicates how much is spent on non-interest expenses as a percentage of total revenue.

Total assets increased 30% to $618.3 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $474.3 million a year earlier. Total assets at December 31, 2004 decreased $125.6 million, or 17%, from $743.9 million at September 30, 2004. Assets at September 30, 2004 included cash of approximately $221 million that was received from subscribers in the stock offering. These subscription funds were subsequently refunded to subscribers in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 as a result of a change in the appraisal of the Company, which increased the valuation range. Following the refund to subscribers, the Company conducted a resolicitation and received $153.1 million from subscribers. The Company's stock offering, however, was oversubscribed and as a result, $97.2 million of the $153.1 million subscription funds were returned to investors.

Deposits increased 18% to $358.8 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $304.8 million at December 31, 2003. In connection with the mutual holding company reorganization and the minority stock offering, shareholders' equity increased $55.1 million. In total, shareholders' equity increased $58.8 million to $100.2 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $41.4 million a year earlier. The Company's book value per share as of December 31, 2004 was $6.59 per share based upon 15,208,750 outstanding shares.

Net loans at December 31, 2004, increased 6% to $401.8 million, compared to $380.1 million at December 31, 2003. Single family lending represents 63% of the Bank's loan portfolio, compared to 66% for the first quarter of last year. Commercial real estate loans account for 24% of the loan portfolio, compared to 23% of the portfolio at December 31, 2003.

Credit quality remains high, as non-performing assets were $685,000 or 0.11% of total assets at December 31, 2004, compared to $610,000, or 0.08% at September 30, 2004 and $610,000, or 0.13% at December 31, 2003. The allowance for loan losses was $2.7 million or 0.66% of gross loans, including loans held for sale, at December 31, 2004 as compared to $2.6 million or 0.66% at September 30, 2004 and $2.1 million, or 0.55% of gross loans at December 31, 2003.
