             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Home Federal
Bancorp (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HomeFed Financial,
Inc. and HomeFederal Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries.
These consolidated interim financial statements at June 30, 2005, and for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, have not been audited by
independent registered public accounting firm, but reflect, in the opinion of
the Company's management,all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of
operations for such periods, including elimination of all significant
intercompany balances and transactions.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes, which are included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2004.

4. Stock Based Compensation
The Company has stock-based employee compensation plans, which are accounted for
under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. No
stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all
options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation.

5. Segment Reporting
Management has concluded that the Company is comprised of a single operating
segment, community banking activities, and has disclosed all required
information relating to its one reportable segment. Management considers parent
company activity to represent an overhead function rather than an operating
segment. The Company operates in one geographical area and does not have a
single customer from which it derives 10 percent or more of its revenue.

6. New Accounting Pronouncements
The Securities and Exchange Commission staff published Staff Accounting
Bulletin, ("SAB"), No. 105, "Loan Commitments Accounted for as Derivative
Instruments" effective for financial statements issued after March 31, 2004,
providing guidance regarding the application of generally accepted accounting
principles to loan commitments accounted for as derivative instruments.
The adoption of SAB No. 105 did not have a material effect on its consolidated
financial statements.

EITF Issue 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its
Application to Certain Investments" provides guidance for determining when an
investment is considered impaired (when fair value is less than cost), for
evaluating whether impairment is other-than-temporary, and, if
other-than-temporary, requiring recognition of an impairment loss equal to the
difference between the investment's cost and its fair value. Generally, an
impairment is considered other-than-temporary unless: (a) the investor has the
ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time
sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value equal to (or more than) the
cost of the investment; and (b) evidence indicating that the cost of the
investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence
to the contrary. The Financial Accounting Standards Board, ("FASB"), delayed the
effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance contained in
paragraphs 10 - 20 of EITF Issue 03-1 by FSP EITF Issue 03-1-1, "Effective Date
of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1, 'The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," posted September 30,
2004. The delay of the effective date for paragraphs 10-20 will be superseded
concurrent with the final issuance of proposed FSP EITF Issue 03-1-a,
"Implication Guidance for the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No.
03-1, 'The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to
Certain Investments." Gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities
and held to maturity securities were $1,392,000 and $3,000, respectively, at
June 30, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of EITF 03-1 and
FSP EITF Issue 03-1-1 and is unable to estimate what the impact of adoption, if
any, will be.

                                     - 7 -

SFAS No. 123 - R (Revised 2004) is effective as of the beginning of the first
annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. This Statement is a
revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This
Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity
obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 123 - R and is unable to estimate
what the impact of adoption, if any, will be.

AcSec issued Statement of Position, ("SOP"), 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans
or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer." SOP 03-3 is effective for loans
acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The SOP addresses
accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows
expected to be collected from an investor's initial investment in loans or debt
securities (loans) acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable,
at least in part, to credit quality. The SOP does not apply to loans originated
by the entity. Management does not believe the adoption of SOP 03-3 will have a
material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections--a replacement of APB
Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3", is effective for accounting changes
and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2005. This Statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary
changes in accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective
application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting
principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific
effects or the cumulative effect of the change. Management does not believe the
adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material effect on its consolidated
financial statements.

EITF 00-19-1, "Application of EITF Issue No. 00-19 to Freestanding Financial
Instruments Originally Issued as Employee Compensation," should be applied in
accordance with the effective date and transition provisions of Statement
123(R).  EITF No. 00-19-1 clarifies that, for freestanding financial instruments
originally issued as employee compensation, a requirement to deliver registered
shares, in and of itself, will not result in liability classification. The
company is currently evaluating the impact of EITF No. 00-19-1 and is unable to
estimate what the impact of adoption, if any, will be.

DIG Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B38, "Embedded Derivatives:
Evaluation of Net Settlement with Respect to the Settlement of a Debt Instrument
through Exercise of an Embedded Put Option or Call Option" is effective the
first day of the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2005. DIG
Implementation Issue No. B38 states that the potential settlement of a debtor's
obligation to a creditor that would occur upon exercise of an embedded put
option or call option meets the net settlement criterion in paragraph 9(a) of
FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. The company is currently evaluating the impact of DIG Implementation
Issue No. B38 and is unable to estimate what the impact of adoption, if any,
will be.

DIG Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B39, "Embedded Derivatives:
Application of Paragraph 13(b) to Call Options That Are Exercisable Only by the
Debtor," is effective the first day of the first fiscal quarter beginning after
December 15, 2005. DIG Implementation Issue No. B39 states that the conditions
in paragraph 13(b) of Statement 133 do not apply to an embedded call option in a
hybrid instrument containing a debt host contract if the right to accelerate the
settlement of the debt can be exercised only by the debtor (issuer/Borrower).
The company is currently evaluating the impact of DIG Implementation Issue No.
B39 and is unable to estimate what the impact of adoption, if any, will be.

Part I, Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q") contains statements that
constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements appear in a number of
places in this Form 10-Q and include statements regarding the intent, belief,
outlook, estimate or expectations of the Company (as defined below), its
directors or its officers primarily with respect to future events and the future
financial performance of the Company. Readers of this Form 10-Q are cautioned
that any such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future events or
performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may
differ materially from those in the forward looking statements as a result of
various factors. The accompanying information contained in this Form 10-Q
identifies important factors that could cause such differences. These factors
include changes in interest rates, loss of deposits and loan demand to other
financial institutions, substantial changes in financial markets, changes in
real estate values and the real estate market, regulatory changes, changes in
the financial condition of issuers of the Company's investments and borrowers,
changes in economic condition of the Company's market area, increases in
compensation and employee expenses, or unanticipated results in pending legal
proceedings.

Home Federal Bancorp (the "Company") is organized as a financial holding company
and owns all the outstanding capital stock of HomeFederal Bank (the "Bank"). The
business of the Bank and therefore, the Company, is to provide consumer and
business banking services to certain markets in the south-central portions of
the State of Indiana. The Bank does business through 19 full service banking
branches.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The notes to the  consolidated  financial  statements  contain a summary  of the
Company's  significant  accounting  policies presented on pages 26 through 30 of
the Company's annual report for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2004.
Certain of these  policies  are  important  to the  portrayal  of the  Company's
financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or
subjective  judgments,  some of which may relate to matters that are  inherently
uncertain.  Management  believes that its critical  accounting  policies include
determining  the  allowance  for loan  losses,  and the  valuation  of  mortgage
servicing rights, ("MSR's").

Allowance for Loan Losses
A loan is considered impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to
collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with
the terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the loan's
observable market price or the estimated fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. The amount of impairment, if any, and any
subsequent changes are included in the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged to operating expense. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when
management believes the loans are uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any,
are credited to the allowance.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable loan
losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at
a level management considers to be adequate to absorb probable loan losses
inherent in the portfolio, based on evaluations of the collectibility and
historical loss experience of loans. The allowance is based on ongoing
assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
Company's methodology for assessing the appropriate allowance level consists of
several key elements, as described below.

All delinquent loans that meet regulatory requirements are included on the
Asset Watch List. The Asset Watch List is reviewed quarterly by the Asset Watch
Committee for any classification beyond the regulatory rating based on the
loans' delinquency.

Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually risk rated per the
loan policy. Homogeneous loans such as consumer and residential mortgage loans
are not individually risk rated by management. They are risk rated based on
historical portfolio data that management believes will provide a good basis for
the loans' quality. For all loans not listed individually on the Asset Watch
List, historical loss rates based on the last four years are the basis for
developing expected charge-offs for each pool of loans.

Historical loss rates for commercial and consumer loans may be adjusted for
significant factors that, in management's judgment, reflect the impact of any
current conditions on loss recognition. Factors which management considers in

                                     - 9 -

the analysis include the effects of the local economy, trends in the nature and
volume of loans (delinquencies, charge-offs, nonaccrual and problem loans),
changes in the internal lending policies and credit standards, collection
practices, and examination results from bank regulatory agencies and the
Company's credit review function.

Finally, a portion of the allowance is maintained in recognition of the inherent
inability to precisely determine the loss potential based on factors such as
current economic conditions, trends in the Company's loan portfolio delinquency,
losses and recoveries, level of under performing and nonperforming loans, and
concentrations of loans in any one industry.

Valuation of  Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company recognizes the rights to service mortgage loans as separate assets,
which are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The total
cost of loans when sold is allocated between loans and mortgage servicing
rights, ("MSR's"), based on the relative fair values of each. MSR's are
subsequently carried at the lower of the initial carrying value, adjusted for
amortization, or fair value. MSR's are evaluated for impairment based on the
fair value of those rights. The Company uses a present value cash flow valuation
model to establish the fair value of the MSR's. Factors included in the
calculation of fair value of the MSR's include estimating the present value of
future net cash flows, market loan prepayment speeds for similar loans, discount
rates, servicing costs, and other economic factors. Servicing rights are
amortized over the estimated period of net servicing revenue. It is likely that
these economic factors will change over the life of the MSR's, resulting in
different valuations of the MSR's. The differing valuations will affect the
carrying value of the MSR's on the balance sheet as well as the income recorded
from loan servicing in the income statement. As of June 30, 2005, MSR's had a
carrying value of $2.8 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Quarter Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2004

General
The Company reported net income of $1,453,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
2005, compared to $1,914,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of
$461,000 or 24.1%. Basic earnings per common share for the current quarter were
$0.37 compared to $0.46 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Diluted earnings
per common share were $0.36 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to
$0.45 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $501,000 or 8.6%
for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to the quarter ended June 30,
2004. This increase was due to a 27 basis point, (a basis point is defined as
1/100th of a percent), increase in the net interest margin to average interest
earning assets, as the yields on interest earning assets increased 28 basis
points while the cost of funds remained relatively stable, declining 1 basis
point over the same period.

The provision for loan losses was $112,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005,
an increase of $77,000, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The
$112,000 charge to the loan loss provision reflects the changing mix of the loan
portfolio as commercial installment loans increased $8,998,000 during the second
quarter of 2005. At June 30, 2005, the loan loss allowance covered 198.2% of
non-performing loans. See the Critical Accounting Policies, Allowance for Loan
Losses section for a description of the systematic analysis the Bank uses to
determine its allowance for loan losses.

The change to the loan loss allowance for the three month period ended June 30,
2005 and 2004 is as follows:

See the asset quality section for a discussion of the charge-offs in the quarter
ended June 30, 2005. Net interest income after provision for loan loss increased
$424,000 or 7.3% for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2004.

                                     - 10 -

Interest Income
Total interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2005, increased
$508,000, or 4.8%, over the same period of the prior year. This increase is
primarily the result of a 28 basis point increase in the weighted average
interest rate earned on average interest earning assets for the quarter ended
June 30, 2005, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The increase in
interest rates reflects the changing mix of the balance sheet as average
balances in total mortgages, residential and commercial, decreased $27,490,000
while average balances of higher earning nonmortgage loans increased $16,442,000
and average balances of securities increased $10,110,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2005 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2004. In addition, interest
rates in general were higher as evidenced by the prime rate that averaged 5.9%
in the second quarter of 2005 compared 4.0% in the second quarter of 2004.

Interest Expense
Total interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 remained
relatively stable, increasing $7,000, or 0.2%, as compared to the same period a
year ago. As with the interest earning assets, the changing mix of the balance
sheet accounted for the stable interest expense in the rising rate environment
of the two comparative quarters. The average balance of retail deposits
increased $27,781,000, while the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, a more expensive source of funds, decreased $27,690,000 in the quarter
ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Other Income
Total other income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, decreased
$340,000 or 11.9% over the same period a year ago. This decrease was the net
result of several factors including a decrease of $593,000 from the gain on sale
of loans. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2004, the Bank originated
approximately $54,981,000 in residential loans, compared to $33,153,000 for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2005. In the second quarter of 2004, the Bank
sold approximately $44,162,000 of the loans originated versus $17,594,000 in the
second quarter of 2005. The difference in loan activity for these two periods
was the result of the lower interest rate environment in 2004, as compared to
2005 which resulted in the second quarter of 2004 experiencing higher volumes of
mortgage loan refinance activity.

Another factor that decreased other income is the $109,000 decrease in loan
servicing income, net of impairments, for the three months ended June 30, 2005,
compared to June 30, 2004. The originated mortgage servicing rights asset is
reviewed for impairment each quarter. This asset is created when mortgage loans
are sold and the Bank retains the servicing rights. The servicing rights are
recognized as income at the time the loan is sold and the servicing asset is
also recorded. The asset is then amortized as an expense to mortgage servicing
income over the life of the loan. The impairment charge is the recognition of
the change in value of mortgage servicing rights that result with changes in
interest rates and loan prepayment speeds. Mortgage servicing portfolios
typically decline in value as interest rates drop and increase in value as rates
rise. The reason for this decline in value is as rates drop, prepayment speeds
increase causing the average life of the servicing portfolio to shorten. This
reduces the amount of servicing income the Bank receives over time and thus
reduces the value of the servicing portfolio. If rates rise the opposite occurs,
prepayments slow, the average life of the mortgage servicing portfolio
lengthens, increasing the amount of servicing income the Bank receives over time
thus increasing the value of the servicing portfolio. In the three-month period
ended June 30, 2005 the impairment charge was $33,000 compared to the same
period ending June 30, 2004 where the impairment recovery was $138,000 for a
decrease in pre-tax income of $171,000. The amortization charge in the current
three-month period was $344,000 compared to $385,000 for the same period a year
ago.

Two factors that offset the decreases in gain on sale of loans and loan
servicing income, were the increases in joint venture income and service fees on
deposit accounts of $225,000 and $169,000, respectively. The increase in joint
venture income was the result of the sale of a large commercial property by one
of the bank's joint ventures. On December 31, 2001, HomeFederal Bank changed its
charter from a Federal savings bank charter to an Indiana commercial bank
charter. Commercial banks are not permitted to participate in real estate
development joint ventures. The Company is in the process of developing exit
strategies and is currently mandated to divest itself of these activities by
December 31, 2005, with a one-year extension available, subject to regulatory
approval. Due to the planned divestiture of the joint venture activity, this
increased income is unlikely to occur in future quarters. The increase in
service fees on deposit accounts is due primarily to the successful free
checking campaign the Bank is currently engaged in. The Bank had 15,700 and
14,000 free checking accounts as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Other Expenses
Other expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 increased
$784,000, or 13.6% over the three month period ended June 30, 2004. This

                                     - 11 -

increase resulted from various factors including a $215,000 increase in
compensation expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was due primarily to personnel
cost associated with staffing of a new branch office location on the south side
of Indianapolis, increased cost of employee benefits and reductions in expense
deferrals related to loan origination activities due to a decrease in
residential mortgage volume. Another factor increasing other expenses was a
$162,000 increase in marketing expenses for the quarter ended June 2005,
compared to the same period a year ago. This increase in marketing was used
primarily to support the free checking promotion and advertising for the new
office on the south side of Indianapolis that opened in January of 2005.
Occupancy expenses increased $114,000 for the second quarter of 2005 as compared
to the second quarter of 2004 due in part to the opening of the new branch.
Miscellaneous expense increased $274,000 for the quarter due primarily to
increased professional fees associated with the final disposition of two large
non-performing commercial loans as well as professional fees associated with
review of internal control documentation required by Sarbanes-Oxley.


Six months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six months Ended June 30, 2004:

General
The Company reported net income of $2,802,000 or $.69 diluted earnings per
share, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $3,301,000, or $.75
diluted earnings per share, for the same period a year ago, a decrease of
$499,000 or a 8.0% decrease in earnings per dilutive common share.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $789,000 for the
six month period ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period ended June 30,
2004.

The change to the loan loss allowance for the six month period ended June 30,
2005 is as follows:


Six months ended June 30: (in thousands)    2005      2004
- ----------------------------------------    ----      ----
Allowance beginning balance               $ 7,864    $7,506

Allowance to Nonperforming Assets            157%      108%

Interest Income
Total interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 increased
$559,000 or 2.6%, compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2004. This
increase is primarily the result of a 16 basis point increase in the weighted
average interest rate earned on average interest earning assets for the six
month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the six month period ended June
30, 2004. Similar to the quarterly increase, the increase in interest rates
reflects the changing mix of the balance sheet as average balances in total
mortgages, residential and commercial, decreased $21,659,000 while average
balances of higher earning nonmortgage loans increased $13,166,000 and average
balances of securities increased $6,860,000 for the six month period ended June
30, 2005, compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2004. Analogous to the
quarterly interest rates discussed earlier, interest rates in general were
higher for the year to date comparative periods as well.

Interest Expense
Total interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 decreased
$230,000, compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2004. Again, the
changing mix of the balance sheet accounted for the decrease in interest expense
in the rising rate environment of the two comparative periods. The average
balance of retail deposits increased $26,886,000, while the average balance of
higher costing Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $28,320,000 in the six
month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the six month period ended June
30, 2004.

Other Income
Total other income for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 decreased
$300,000 or 5.7% as compared to the same period one year ago. This decrease was
the net result of the some of the same factors discussed in the second quarter
results above. Gain on sale of loans decreased $933,000 as a result of the

                                     - 12 -

volume of loan sales to the secondary market in 2005 declining $45,680,000 from
the volume of loan sales in 2004. Factors that offset the decrease in income
from loans sales include increases in income from joint ventures and service
fees on deposit accounts, which increased $165,000 and $239,000, respectively.
These increases in income from joint ventures and service fees on deposit
accounts for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, mirror the increases
explained in the quarterly discussion. Additionally, the increase in loan
serving income, net of impairments, was primarily due to a $287,000 recovery of
impairment charges in 2005, versus a $118,000 recovery of impairment charges in
2004. As well as a reduction of $70,000 in amortization charges of mortgage
servicing rights for the two comparative periods.

Other Expenses
Total other expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 increased
$1,332,000 or 11.5%. This increase is primarily the result of a $754,000
increase in compensation and employee benefits, due in part to a $210,000
increase in temporary employee expense associated with outsourced projects in
the technology area of the Company, as well as increases in retirement and
health insurance costs, and the staffing of the new Indianapolis branch. The
outsourced projects were completed in April 2005. Therefore the related
outsourcing expenses should not continue at this level for the remainder of the
year. In addition, costs that are deferred as a result of loan production in
accordance with FASB 91 were approximately $207,000 less than a year ago causing
compensation expense to increase by that amount over the prior period.
Additional increases to other expenses include occupancy and equipment,
marketing and miscellaneous expenses which increased $175,000, $237,000 and
$128,000, respectively for the year to date comparative periods. The occupancy
and equipment and marketing increases primarily related to the new branch
opening and the free checking promotion communicated in the quarterly
discussion. The increase in miscellaneous expenses was smaller in the year to
date comparisons than the increase in the quarterly comparison due primarily to
a $189,000 reduction in REO write downs in the six month period ended June 30,
2005.

Asset Quality
Non-performing assets to total assets decreased from 0.82% at June 30, 2004 to
0.51% at June 30, 2005. Non-performing loans to total gross loans decreased from
0.94% to 0.55%, respectively, for the same periods. Non-performing assets to
total assets decreased to 0.51% at June 30, 2005 from 1.71% at December 31,
2004. Non-performing loans to total gross loans decreased to 0.55% at June 30,
2005 from 2.01% at December 31, 2004. The improvement in the asset quality
ratios during the quarter resulted primarily from the final disposition of
assets related to two large commercial loans which were classified as
non-performing in 2004. The disposal of remaining loans and collateral
associated with these commercial relationships resulted in a $7.2 million
reduction in non-performing assets. In addition, the final disposition of these
assets resulted in charge offs during the quarter which reduced the allowance
for loan losses. However, specific reserves previously established on these
loans were adequate to cover the charge offs and there was no significant impact
of these loans on the provision for loan losses during the quarter.

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.09% at June 30,
2005. In addition, the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans is
198%. The current non-performing asset ratios as of June 30, 2005 are more
indicative of the historical quality of the loan portfolio.


FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Total assets as of June 30, 2005, were $848,897,000, which was a decrease of
$19,310,000 from December 31, 2004, total assets of $868,207,000. Changes within
the various balance sheet categories included a $12,510,000 decrease in loans
receivable that reflects a $13,440,000 decrease in commercial real estate loans,
including $5,441,000 from the resolution of a large nonaccrual commercial loan.
Additionally, residential loans decreased $6,640,000, while commercial
installment loans increased $7,037,000. Interest bearing deposits decreased
$18,517,000 during the first six months of 2005. These funds were primarily used
to pay off Federal Home Loan Bank advances, which decreased $13,658,000.

Shareholders' equity decreased $3,515,000 during the same period. Retained
earnings increased $2,802,000 from net income and decreased $1,476,000 for
dividends paid and $4,772,000 from stock buy backs. Common stock increased
$708,000 from the exercise of common stock options and $59,000 from the related
tax benefit of disqualifying dispositions of such options. Common stock
decreased $300,000 from stock buy backs. The Company had other comprehensive
loss from unrealized losses in its securities available for sale portfolio, net
of tax, of $589,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Additionally, the
Company had other comprehensive gain, net of tax, from the change in fair value
of a cash flow hedge of $53,000 for the same six month period.

At June 30, 2005, the Company and the Bank exceeded all current applicable
regulatory capital requirements as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Bank has maintained its liquid assets at a level believed
adequate to meet requirements of normal daily activities, repayment of maturing
debt and potential deposit outflows. Cash flow projections are regularly
reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is maintained. Cash for
these purposes is generated through the sale or maturity of investment
securities and loan sales and repayments, and may be generated through increases
in deposits. Loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, while
deposit flows are influenced significantly by the level of interest rates and
general money market conditions. Borrowings may be used to compensate for
reductions in other sources of funds such as deposits. As a member of the
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system, the Bank may borrow from the FHLB of
Indianapolis. At June 30, 2005, the Bank had $111,788,000 in such borrowings. In
addition, at June 30, 2005, the Bank had commitments to purchase loans of
$234,000, fund loan originations of $33,469,000, unused home equity lines of
credit of $62,351,000 and unused commercial lines of credit of $30,902,000, as
well as commitments to sell loans of $17,311,000. Generally, a significant
portion of amounts available in lines of credit will not be drawn. In the
opinion of management, the Bank has sufficient cash flow and borrowing capacity
to meet current and anticipated funding commitments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

In the opinion of management the interest rate sensitivity results for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005 is not materially different from the results
presented on page 13 of the Company's annual report for the twelve month period
ended December 31, 2004, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

   (a)     Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company's chief
           executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the
           effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as
           defined in Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
           Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the most recent
           fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report (the "Evaluation
           Date"), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's
           disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and are designed to
           ensure that material information relating to the Company would be
           made known to such officers by others within the Company on a timely
           basis.

   (b)     Changes in internal controls. There were no significant changes in
           the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in
           connection with the Company's evaluation of controls that occurred
           during the Company's last fiscal quarter that has materially
           affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's
           internal control over financial reporting.

                                                             Exhibit 10(ay)

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Agreement, made and dated as of July 8, 2005, by and between
HomeFederal Bank, a state chartered commercial bank ("Employer"), Home Federal
Bancorp, an Indiana corporation, which owns all of the capital stock of the
Employer (the "Holding Company"), and Mark T. Gorski, a resident of Hamilton
County, Indiana ("Employee").

                               W I T N E S S E T H

         WHEREAS, Employee is employed by Employer as an Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer and has made valuable contributions to the
profitability and financial strength of Employer;

         WHEREAS, Employer desires to encourage Employee to continue to make
valuable contributions to Employer's business operations and not to seek or
accept employment elsewhere;

         WHEREAS, Employee desires to be assured of a secure minimum
compensation from Employer for his services over a defined term;

         WHEREAS, Employer desires to assure the continued services of Employee
on behalf of Employer on an objective and impartial basis and without
distraction or conflict of interest in the event of an attempt by any person to
obtain control of Employer or of the Holding Company.

         WHEREAS, Employer recognizes that when faced with a proposal for a
change of control of Employer, Employee will have a significant role in helping
the Board of Directors assess the options and advising the Board of Directors on
what is in the best interests of Employer and its shareholders, and it is
necessary for Employee to be able to provide this advice and counsel without
being influenced by the uncertainties of his own situation;

         WHEREAS, Employer desires to provide fair and reasonable benefits to
Employee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

         WHEREAS, Employer desires reasonable protection of its confidential
business and customer information which it has developed over the years at
substantial expense and assurance that Employee will not compete with Employer
for a reasonable period of time after termination of his employment with
Employer, except as otherwise provided herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the mutual
covenants and undertakings herein contained and the continued employment of
Employee by Employer as its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, Employer and Employee, each intending to be legally bound, covenant and
agree as follows:

          1. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, Employer employs Employee as Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of Employer, and Employee accepts such employment.

          2. Employee agrees to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of Employer and to perform such duties in that office as may
reasonably be assigned to him by Employer's Board of Directors; provided,
however that such duties shall be performed in or from the offices of Employer
currently located at Seymour, Indiana. Employee shall not be required to be
absent from the location of the principal executive offices of Employer on
travel status or otherwise more than 45 days in any calendar year. Although
while employed by Employer, Employee shall devote substantially all his business
time and efforts to Employer's business and shall not engage in any other
related business, Employee may use his discretion in fixing his hours and
schedule of work consistent with the proper discharge of his duties.

          3. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof (the
"Effective Date") and shall end on the date which is three years following such
date; provided, however, that such term shall be extended for an additional year
on each anniversary of the Effective Date if Employer's Board of Directors
determines by resolution with respect to each such annual extension that the
performance of the Employer has met the Board's requirements and standards and
that this Agreement should be extended for another year. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if either party hereto gives written notice to the other party not to
so extend prior to such anniversary, or if the Employer's Board of Directors
does not adopt the resolution authorizing annual extension of the contract with
respect to any annual period during the term of this Agreement, no further
automatic extension shall occur and the term of this Agreement shall end two
years subsequent to the anniversary as of which the notice not to or failure to
extend for an additional year occurs (such term including any extension thereof
shall herein be referred to as the "Term"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement shall automatically terminate (and the Term of this Agreement shall
thereupon end) without notice when Employee attains 65 years of age.

          4. Employee shall receive an annual salary of $175,000 ("Base
Compensation") payable at regular intervals in accordance with Employer's normal
payroll practices now or hereafter in effect. Employer may consider and declare
from time to time increases in the salary it pays Employee and thereby increases
in his Base Compensation. Prior to a Change of Control, Employer may also
declare decreases in the salary it pays Employee if the operating results of
Employer are significantly less favorable than those for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2004,, and Employer makes similar decreases in the salary it pays
to other executive officers of Employer. After a Change in Control, Employer
shall consider and declare salary increases based upon the following standards:

         Inflation;

         Adjustments to the salaries of other senior management personnel; and

         Past performance of Employee and the contribution which Employee makes
         to the business and profits of Employer during the Term.

Any and all increases or decreases in Employee's salary pursuant to this section
shall cause the level of Base Compensation to be increased or decreased by the
amount of each such increase or decrease for purposes of this Agreement. The
increased or decreased level of Base Compensation as provided in this section
shall become the level of Base Compensation for the remainder of the Term of
this Agreement until there is a further increase or decrease in Base
Compensation as provided herein.

          5. So long as Employee is employed by Employer pursuant to this
Agreement, he shall be included as a participant in all present and future
employee benefit, retirement, and compensation plans generally available to
employees of Employer, consistent with his Base Compensation and his position as
an Executive Vice President of Employer, including, without limitation,
Employer's Pension Plan, 401(k) Plan, Stock Option Plan, Long Term Incentive
Plan, and hospitalization, major medical, disability and group life insurance
plans, each of which Employer agrees to continue in effect on terms no less
favorable than those currently in effect as of the date hereof (as permitted by
law) during the Term of this Agreement unless prior to a Change of Control the
operating results of Employer are significantly less favorable than those for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and unless (either before or after a
Change of Control) changes in the accounting or tax treatment of such plans
would adversely affect Employer's operating results or financial condition in a
material way, and the Board of Directors of Employer concludes that
modifications to such plans need to be made to avoid such adverse effects.

          6. So long as Employee is employed by Employer pursuant to this
Agreement, Employee shall receive reimbursement from Employer for all reasonable
business expenses incurred in the course of his employment by Employer, upon
submission to Employer of written vouchers and statements for reimbursement. So
long as Employee is employed by Employer pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, Employer shall continue in effect reasonable vacation policies
applicable to Employee.

          7. Subject to the respective continuing obligations of the parties,
including but not limited to those set forth in subsections 9(A) and 9(B)
hereof, Employee's employment by Employer may be terminated prior to the
expiration of the Term of this Agreement as follows:

         (A)      Employer, by action of its Board of Directors and upon written
                  notice to Employee, may terminate Employee's employment with
                  Employer immediately for cause. For purposes of this
                  subsection 7(A), "cause" shall be defined as (i) personal
                  dishonesty, (ii) incompetence, (iii) willful misconduct, (iv)
                  breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, (v)
                  intentional failure to perform stated duties, (vi) willful
                  violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic
                  violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist
                  order, or (vii) any material breach of any term, condition or
                  covenant of this Agreement.

         (B)      Employer, by action of its Board of Directors, may terminate
                  Employee's employment with Employer without cause at any time.

         (C)   Employee,  by  written  notice to  Employer,  may  terminate  his
               employment with Employer  immediately for cause.  For purposes of
               this subsection 7(C),  "cause" shall be defined as (i) any action
               by  Employer's  Board of  Directors  to remove the Employee as an
               Executive Vice President of Employer, except where the Employer's
               Board of Directors  properly  acts to remove  Employee  from such
               office for "cause" as defined in subsection 7(A) hereof, (ii) any
               action by  Employer's  Board of  Directors to  materially  limit,
               increase,  or modify  Employee's  duties  and/or  authority as an
               Executive  Vice  President of Employer  (including his authority,
               subject to corporate  controls no more  restrictive than those in
               effect on the date hereof,  to hire and  discharge  employees who
               are not bona fide  officers  of  Employer),  (iii) any failure of
               Employer to obtain the  assumption  of the  obligation to perform
               this  Agreement  by any  successor or the  reaffirmation  of such
               obligation by Employer,  as contemplated in section 19 hereof; or
               (iv) any intentional  breach by Employer of a term,  condition or
               covenant of this Agreement.

         (D)      Employee, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Employer,
                  may terminate his employment with Employer without cause.

         (E)      Employee's employment with Employer shall terminate in the
                  event of Employee's death or disability. For purposes hereof,
                  "disability" shall be defined as Employee's inability by
                  reason of illness or other physical or mental incapacity to
                  perform the duties required by his employment for any
                  consecutive One Hundred Eighty (180) day period, provided that
                  notice of any termination by Employer because of Employee's
                  "disability" shall have been given to Employee prior to the
                  full resumption by him of the performance of such duties.

          8. In the event of termination of Employee's employment with Employer
pursuant to section 7 hereof, compensation shall continue to be paid by Employer
to Employee as follows:

          (A)  In the event of termination  pursuant to subsection 7(A) or 7(D),
               compensation  provided for herein  (including Base  Compensation)
               shall  continue  to be  paid,  and  Employee  shall  continue  to
               participate in the employee benefit, retirement, and compensation
               plans and other  perquisites  as  provided  in  sections  5 and 6
               hereof,  through the date of termination  specified in the notice
               of termination.  Any benefits  payable under  insurance,  health,
               retirement   and   bonus   plans  as  a  result   of   Employee's
               participation  in such plans through such date shall be paid when
               due under those plans.  The date of termination  specified in any
               notice of  termination  pursuant to  Subsection  7(A) shall be no
               later  than  the last  business  day of the  month in which  such
               notice is provided to Employee.

          (B)  In the event of termination  pursuant to subsection 7(B) or 7(C),
               compensation  provided for herein  (including Base  Compensation)
               shall  continue  to be  paid,  and  Employee  shall  continue  to
               participate in the employee benefit, retirement, and compensation
               plans and other  perquisites  as  provided  in  Sections  5 and 6
               hereof,  through the date of termination  specified in the notice
               of termination.  Any benefits  payable under  insurance,  health,
               retirement   and   bonus   plans  as  a  result   of   Employee's
               participation  in such plans through such date shall be paid when
               due under those plans. In addition, Employee shall be entitled to
               continue to receive from  Employer his Base  Compensation  at the
               rates  in  effect  at the  time  of  termination  (1)  for  three
               additional  12-month periods if the termination  follows a Change
               of Control or (2) for the remaining  Term of the Agreement if the
               termination  does not follow a Change of  Control.  In  addition,
               during such  periods,  Employer  will  maintain in full force and
               effect  for the  continued  benefit  of  Employee  each  employee
               welfare  benefit plan and each employee  pension benefit plan (as
               such terms are defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security
               Act of 1974,  as  amended)  in which  Employee  was  entitled  to
               participate  immediately  prior to the  date of his  termination,
               unless an essentially equivalent and no less favorable benefit is
               provided by a subsequent  employer of  Employee.  If the terms of
               any employee  welfare  benefit plan or employee  pension  benefit
               plan  of  Employer  do  not  permit  continued  participation  by
               Employee,  Employer will arrange to provide to Employee a benefit
               substantially similar to, and no less favorable than, the benefit
               he was  entitled  to  receive  under  such plan at the end of the
               period of coverage.  For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of
               Control"  shall mean an  "acquisition  of control" of the Holding
               Company  or  of   Employer   within  the  meaning  of  12  C.F.R.
               ss.225.41(c)  (other  than a change of control  resulting  from a
               trustee or other  fiduciary  holding shares of Common Stock under
               an employee  benefit  plan of the  Holding  Company or any of its
               subsidiaries).

         (C)      In the event of termination pursuant to subsection 7(E),
                  compensation provided for herein (including Base Compensation)
                  shall continue to be paid, and Employee shall continue to
                  participate in the employee benefit, retirement, and
                  compensation plans and other perquisites as provided in
                  sections 5 and 6 hereof, (i) in the event of Employee's death,
                  through the date of death, or (ii) in the event of Employee's
                  disability, through the date of proper notice of disability as
                  required by subsection 7(E). Any benefits payable under
                  insurance, health, retirement and bonus plans as a result of
                  Employer's participation in such plans through such date shall
                  be paid when due under those plans.

          (D)  Employer will permit  Employee or his personal  representative(s)
               or heirs,  during a period of three months  following  Employee's
               termination  of  employment by Employer for the reasons set forth
               in subsections 7(B) or (C), if such termination  follows a Change
               of  Control,  to  require  Employer,  upon  written  request,  to
               purchase all  outstanding  stock  options  previously  granted to
               Employee  under any stock  option plan of Employer or any Holding
               Company of Employer  then in effect  whether or not such  options
               are then  exercisable or have terminated at a cash purchase price
               equal to the amount by which the aggregate "fair market value" of
               the shares subject to such options  exceeds the aggregate  option
               price for such shares.  For purposes of this Agreement,  the term
               "fair  market  value" shall mean the higher of (1) the average of
               the highest asked prices for Employer or Holding  Company  shares
               in the  over-the-counter  market as reported on the NASDAQ system
               if the shares are traded on such system for the 30 business  days
               preceding  such  termination,  or (2) the average per share price
               actually  paid for the most highly  priced 1% of the  Employer or
               Holding  Company shares acquired in connection with the Change of
               Control by any person or group acquiring such control.

          9. In order to induce Employer to enter into this Agreement, Employee
hereby agrees as follows:

          (A)  While  Employee is employed by Employer and for a period of three
               years after termination of such employment for reasons other than
               those set  forth in  subsections  7(B) or (C) of this  Agreement,
               Employee  shall not  divulge or  furnish  any trade  secrets  (as
               defined  in  IND.   CODE  ss.   24-2-3-2)   of  Employer  or  any
               confidential  information  acquired  by  him  while  employed  by
               Employer concerning the policies,  plans, procedures or customers
               of  Employer  to any  person,  firm or  corporation,  other  than
               Employer  or upon its  written  request,  or use any  such  trade
               secret or  confidential  information  directly or indirectly  for
               Employee's own benefit or for the benefit of any person,  firm or
               corporation  other than  Employer,  since such trade  secrets and
               confidential  information are confidential and shall at all times
               remain the property of Employer.

         (B)   If Employee's employment by Employer is terminated for reasons
               other than those set forth in subsections 7(B) or (C) of this
               Agreement, Employee will turn over immediately thereafter to
               Employer all business correspondence, letters, papers,
               reports, customers' lists, financial statements, credit
               reports or other confidential information or documents of
               Employer or its affiliates in the possession or control of
               Employee, all of which writings are and will continue to be
               the sole and exclusive property of Employer or its affiliates.

         If Employee's employment by Employer is terminated during the Term of
         this Agreement for reasons set forth in subsections 7(B) or (C) of this
         Agreement, Employee shall have no obligations to Employer with respect
         to trade secrets or confidential information under this section 9.

         10. Any termination of Employee's employment with Employer as
contemplated by section 7 hereof, except in the circumstances of Employee's
death, shall be communicated by written "Notice of Termination" by the
terminating party to the other party hereto. Any "Notice of Termination"
pursuant to subsections 7(A), 7(C) or 7(E) shall indicate the specific
provisions of this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such
termination.

         11. If Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
participating in the conduct of Employer's affairs by a notice served under
section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. ss.
1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)), Employer's obligations under this Agreement shall be
suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings.
If the charges in the notice are dismissed, Employer may in its discretion (i)
pay Employee all or part of the compensation withheld while its obligations
under this Agreement were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any
of its obligations which were suspended.

         12. If Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of Employer's affairs by an order issued under
section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. ss.
1818(e)(4) or (g)(1)), all obligations of Employer under this Agreement shall
terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the
parties to the Agreement shall not be affected. If Employer is in default (as
defined in section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act), all
obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but
this provision shall not affect any vested rights of Employer or Employee.

         13. All obligations under this Agreement may be terminated except to
the extent determined that the continuation of the Agreement is necessary for
the continued operation of Employer: (i) by the Director of the Indiana
Department of Financial Institutions, or his designee (the "Director"), at the
time the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation enters into an agreement to
provide assistance to or on behalf of Employer under the authority contained in
Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; or (ii) by the Director at
the time the Director approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related
to operation of Employer or when Employer is determined by the Director to be in
an unsafe and unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already
vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.

         14. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the
event that the Employer's independent public accountants determine that any
payment by the Employer to or for the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or
payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, would be non-deductible by the
Employer for federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), then the amount payable to or for
the benefit of the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced (but not
below zero) to the Reduced Amount. For purposes of this section 14, the "Reduced
Amount" shall be the amount that maximizes the amount payable without causing
the payment to be non-deductible by the Employer because of Section 280G of the
Code. In the event the Employee is entitled to receive payments following a
Change in Control under a Supplemental Retirement Agreement with the Employer
which payments, together with the amounts payable to the Employee under this
Agreement would result in a tax under ss.4999 of the Code, the amounts payable
to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced first, before any
reduction is made in payments under the Supplemental Retirement Agreement, to
the extent necessary to avoid a tax imposed under ss.4999 of the Code.

         15. If a dispute arises regarding the termination of Employee pursuant
to section 7 hereof or as to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement
and Employee obtains a final judgment in his favor in a court of competent
jurisdiction or his claim is settled by Employer prior to the rendering of a
judgment by such a court, all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by
Employee in contesting or disputing any such termination or seeking to obtain or
enforce any right or benefit provided for in this Agreement or otherwise
pursuing his claim shall be paid by Employer, to the extent permitted by law.

         16. Should Employee die after termination of his employment with
Employer while any amounts are payable to his hereunder, this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee's executors,
administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees and all amounts
payable hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
to Employee's devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such
designee, to his estate.

         17. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been given when delivered or mailed by United States registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

         If to Employee:   Mark T. Gorski
                           12312 Cobblefield Court
                           Fishers, IN  46038

         If to Employer:   HomeFederal Bank
                           501 Washington Street
                           Columbus, IN  47201

or to such address as either party hereto may have furnished to the other party
in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address
shall be effective only upon receipt.

         18. The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana.

         19. Employer shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect,
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of
the business or assets of Employer, by agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Employee to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement
in the same manner and same extent that Employer would be required to perform it
if no such succession had taken place. Failure of Employer to obtain such
agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material
intentional breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Employee to terminate his
employment with Employer pursuant to subsection 7(C) hereof. As used in this
Agreement, "Employer" shall mean Employer as hereinbefore defined and any
successor to its business or assets as aforesaid.

         20. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing
signed by Employee and Employer. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of
any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or
provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed
a waiver of dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or any prior
subsequent time. No agreements or representation, oral or otherwise, express or
implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either
party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.

         20. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provisions of this Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect.

         21. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same agreement.

         22. This Agreement is personal in nature and neither party hereto
shall, without consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in section 16 and section 19
above. Without limiting the foregoing, Employee's right to receive compensation
hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable, whether by pledge, creation
of a security interest or otherwise, other than a transfer by his will or by the
laws of descent or distribution as set forth in section 16 hereof, and in the
event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this paragraph,
Employer shall have no liability to pay any amounts so attempted to be assigned
or transferred.

         23. The Holding Company agrees that if it shall be determined for any
reason that any obligation on the part of Employer to continue to make any
payments due under this Agreement to Employee or to satisfy any other obligation
under this Agreement for the benefit of Employee is unenforceable for any
reason, the Holding Company agrees to honor the terms of this Agreement and
continue to make any such payments due hereunder to Employee or to satisfy any
such obligation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as though it were the
Employer hereunder.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused the Agreement to be
executed and delivered as of the day and year first above set forth.

     a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our

         control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
         most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in
         the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
         reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to

     of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

     a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
        operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
        reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
        record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

     b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
        employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
        control over financial reporting.
