Notes to Condensed 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements at September 30, 2007, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, have not been audited by an 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.  The Company does not consolidate Home Federal Statutory Trust I (“Trust”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, that issues Trust preferred securities, as the Company is not a primary beneficiary of the Trust.

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 year ended December 31, 2006.

4. 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.

5. Junior Subordinated Debt
On September 15, 2006, the Company issued junior subordinated debt securities that will mature in 30 years and will bear a floating variable rate equal to the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.65% per annum.  Interest on the junior subordinated debt securities is payable quarterly in arrears each December 15, March 15, June 15 and September 15. Home Federal may redeem the junior subordinated debt securities, in whole or in part, without penalty, on or after September 15, 2011.  The junior subordinated debt qualifies as Tier I capital.

6. Pension and Other Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company participates in a noncontributory multi-employer pension plan covering all qualified employees.  The trustees of the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund administer the plan.  There is no separate valuation of the plan benefits or segregation of plan assets specifically for the Company, because the plan is a multi-employer plan and separate actuarial valuations are not made with respect to each employer.  However, as of June 30, 2006, the latest actuarial valuation, the total plan assets exceeded the actuarially determined value of accrued benefits.  The Company recorded contribution liability/expenses of $900,000 and $1,049,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively.  No cash contributions were made to the multi-employer pension plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company has entered into supplemental retirement agreements for certain officers.   The net periodic pension cost, including the detail of its components for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, is estimated as follows:

The Bank previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, that it expected to pay benefits of $219,000 in 2007.  As of September 30, 2007, the Bank has paid $164,000 in benefits and presently anticipates paying an additional $55,000 in fiscal 2007.

7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS), No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company annually, as of September 30 th , evaluates goodwill for impairment.  Management determined that there was no impairment charge resulting from its annual impairment test.
 
In the second quarter of 2007 the Company purchased another retail brokerage business on the south side of Indianapolis.  The purchase price of $300,000 which will be paid in 3 annual installments of $100,000 each.  This purchase increased goodwill $180,000.  This purchase also included an intangible asset, customer list, valued at $120,000 which is being amortized over four years using the straight line method.  The impairment analysis for this brokerage business goodwill will be performed annually as of June 30.
 
8. Repurchases of Company Stock
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company repurchased 293,327 shares at an average price of $29.06.  On April 24, 2007, the Board of directors approved a stock repurchase program to repurchase on the open market up to 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock or 175,628 such shares.  Such purchases will be made in block or open market transactions, subject to market conditions.  The program has no expiration date.  As of September 30, 2007, there are 95,226 shares remaining to be repurchased under this program.

9. Legal Proceedings
The Company and the Bank are involved from time to time as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business.  While the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these proceedings should not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

10. Mortgage Banking Activities
The Bank is obligated to repurchase certain loans sold to and serviced for others if they become delinquent as defined by various agreements.  At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, these contingent obligations were approximately $2.6 million and $9.3 million, respectively.  Management believes it is remote, that as of September 30, 2007, the Company would have to repurchase these obligations and therefore no reserve has been established for this purpose.

11. New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and 140.” This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and No. 140 as well as resolves issues addressed in Statement No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement No. 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” Specifically, this Statement: i) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; ii) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement No. 133; iii) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; iv) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and v) amends Statement No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management has determined the adoption of this Statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140 and requires that all separately recognized servicing rights be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. For each class of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, this Statement permits the Company to choose either to report servicing assets and liabilities at fair value or at amortized cost. Under the fair value approach, servicing assets and liabilities will be
recorded at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. Under the amortized cost method, servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss and are assessed for impairment based on fair value at each reporting date. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management has determined the adoption of this Statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB staff position FAS 123(R)-4, “Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event”, was posted February 3, 2006.   This FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) addresses the classification of options and similar instruments issued as employee compensation that allow for cash settlement upon the occurrence of a contingent event that is not controlled by the employee. The guidance in this FSP amends paragraphs 32 and A229 of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”.  The guidance in this FSP shall be applied upon initial adoption of Statement 123(R).  The guidance in this FSP is applicable only for options issued as part of employee compensation arrangements. Paragraphs 32 and A229 of Statement 123(R) require options or similar instruments to be classified as liabilities if “the entity can be required under any circumstances   to settle the option or similar instrument by transferring cash or other assets”. Since an entity may be required in at least one circumstance (that is, a change in control) to settle its options or similar instruments issued as employee compensation in cash, the option or similar instrument would be classified as a liability when the change in control occurs pursuant to paragraphs 32 and A229 of Statement 123(R).   Management has determined the adoption of FSP FAS 123(R)-4 did not have a material effect on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  At January 1, 2007 management determined on review of various tax positions that these positions would be sustained based on the technical merits

of the related tax positions.  Upon adoption of FIN 48, there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States (“U.S.”), federal and state of Indiana jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to U. S. federal and the state of Indiana tax examinations for years prior to 2004.  Management does not believe there will be any material changes in our recognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.  As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, or interest expense recognized during the quarter.  The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to tax exempt income and the state tax expense benefit.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.   This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and should be determined based on assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. This Statement clarifies that market participant assumptions should include assumptions about risk as well as the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. Additionally, this Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that provides the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data.  Management is currently in the process of determining what effect the provisions of this Statement will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).”  This Statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income.  This Statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions.  Additional disclosures about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation is also required. This Statement is effective as of the end of the first fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006.  The adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,”   which is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date.  The fair value option a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method; b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and c) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments.  Management is currently in the process of determining what effect the provisions of this Statement will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

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, charge-offs and loan loss provisions, 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 or regulatory 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 30 through 35 of the Company’s annual report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2006.  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 securities.

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 discounted cash flow 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. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the loans are uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  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 are 90 days past due 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 a loan’s delinquency.
 
Commercial and commercial real estate loans, greater than $50,000, are individually risk rated pursuant to the loan policy.  Homogeneous loans such as consumer and residential mortgage loans are not individually risk rated by management.  They are pooled 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 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 to recognize the imprecision in estimating and measuring loss when evaluating allowances for individual loans or pools of loans.  This unallocated allowance is based on factors such as
 
 
- 11 -

 
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.  The unallocated allowance is assigned to the various loan categories based on management’s perception of probable risk in the different loan categories and the principal balance of the loan categories.

Valuation of Securities
Securities are classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale on the date of purchase. Only those securities classified as held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related deferred income taxes, on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of a security is determined based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on quoted prices of similar instruments. Realized securities gains or losses are reported within noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are reviewed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. The review includes an analysis of the facts and circumstances of each individual investment such as the severity of loss, the length of time the fair value has been below cost, the expectation for that security’s performance, the creditworthiness of the issuer and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security to recovery, which may be maturity.  A decline in value that is considered to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a loss within noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2007, the unrealized losses in the available-for-sale security portfolio were primarily comprised of corporate bonds, municipal bonds, agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations and agency bonds. Management believes the price movements in these securities are a result of the movement in market interest rates. Management also maintains the intent and ability to hold securities in an unrealized loss position to the earlier of the recovery of losses or maturity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Quarter  Ended  September 30, 2007  Compared to  Quarter  Ended  September 30, 2006  

General
The Company reported net income of $1,701,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $341,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $1,360,000.  Basic earnings per common share for the current quarter were $0.49 compared to $0.09 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  Diluted earnings per common share were $0.48 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $0.09 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.   The Company’s net income for the third quarter of 2006 included a pre-tax loss of $1,956,000 resulting from the sale of approximately $65.5 million of investment securities.  The after tax impact of the loss on sale of investment securities on third quarter earnings was approximately $1,330,000 or $0.35 diluted earnings per common share.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $567,000 or 8.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  This increase was due to an increase in net interest margin to average interest earning assets of 28 basis points to 3.51%, as the rates earned on interest earning assets rose faster than rates paid on interest bearing liabilities during the third quarter.  Average interest earning assets increased $1,388,000 in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter of the prior year.  Average interest bearing liabilities decreased $3,134,000 in the third quarter of 2007, compared to the same quarter of the prior year.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses increased $90,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 to $286,000 compared to $196,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  Net charge offs were $53,000 for the third quarter representing an annualized net charge off ratio of 0.03% compared to net charge offs of $457,000 representing an annualized net charge off ratio of 0.27% for the third quarter of 2006.   While net charge offs have remained at relatively low levels, the provision for loan losses was increased during the quarter as non performing loans have increased during the year, as well as an increase in consumer delinquencies.  The increase in nonperforming loans is due to two large commercial relationships - one $3.1 million relationship designated as non-accrual in the second quarter and another $3 million relationship that was classified as non-accrual in the third quarter.   The $3.1 million commercial relationship is secured by accounts receivable inventory and facilities.  The other $3 million commercial relationship is a residential land development loan which is secured by the underlying collateral.   At September 30, 2007, the loan loss allowance covered 58% of nonperforming loans compared to 171% of non performing loans at September 30, 2006

The allowance for loan losses increased $233,000 during the third quarter.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses during the quarter was a result of the increase in non performing loans and an increase in consumer loan

delinquencies.  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

Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $477,000 or 7.7% for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2006.

Interest Income
Total interest income for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, increased $1,066,000, or 8.2%, over the same period of the prior year.  This increase is due to the weighted average interest rate earned on average interest earning assets increasing 53 basis points in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  The increase in interest rates was primarily due to the changing mix of the balance sheet as the average balance of higher yielding commercial and commercial mortgage loans increased $57,124,000 and $24,564,000 respectively, for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2006, average balances of while lower yielding available for sale securities and residential mortgage loans decreased $52,533,000 and $18,918,000, respectively, over the same two comparative periods.

Interest Expense 
Total interest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 increased $499,000, or 7.6%, as compared to the same period a year ago.  The weighted average interest rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities increased 27 basis points, from the September 2006 quarter to the September 2007 quarter.  The increase in rates paid on interest bearing liabilities relates to the shifting mix of interest bearing liabilities.   Certificates of deposits increased $26.1 million in average balances for the two comparative quarters, while average balance of higher costing brokered deposits, public fund certificate of deposits and FHLB advances decreased $12.3 million, $6.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively.  The average rate paid for retail certificates of deposits increased 54 basis points over the same period as the Bank has run promotional specials to attract retail deposit funds which are priced 12 to 24 basis points lower than wholesale funding alternatives.

Non Interest Income
Total non interest income increased $2,172,000 to $3,344,000 for the quarter.  The Company’s non interest income for the 2006 third quarter included a nonrecurring pre-tax loss of $1,956,000 resulting from the sale of approximately $65.5 million of investment securities.  Investment advisory services fees increased $181,000 or 57.1% for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 over the prior years comparable period as the Company continues to expand its brokerage business.  In June 2007, the Company purchased a book of business in Greenwood from an independent broker.  Loan servicing income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $106,000 or 44.9% compared to the same period a year ago due to the sale of the Company’s servicing portfolio in December 2006.

Non Interest Expenses 
Non interest expenses increased $469,000 or 6.8% to $7,357,000 for the quarter.  The primary reason for this  increase was a $373,000 increase in compensation and employee benefits.   In the third quarter of 2006 the Company reduced its vacation accrual $260,000 pursuant to a change in vacation policy.  Other items which affected the increase in compensation and employee benefits relate primarily to increased incentive plan expenses as a result of commercial loan growth and increased investment advisory service fees.

Taxes
The effective tax rate for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, was 36.1% and 29.4%, respectively.  The applicable income tax expense for both periods includes the benefit of tax-exempt income partially offset by the effect of nondeductible expenses.  Prior to September 1, 2006, state income tax expense for the Company did not include the Company’s Nevada subsidiary, Home Investment Inc., as the subsidiary did not have

nexus with the state of Indiana before that date.  The current three month period ended September 30, 2007, includes $1,678,000 of pretax income from the Nevada subsidiary.   In the third quarter of 2006, July and August income of $504,000 was excluded from Indiana income tax, while the loss on securities sale which created nexus with the state of Indiana was included in calculating income tax.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Nine months Ended September 30, 2007  Compared to  Nine months Ended September 30, 2006  

General
The Company reported net income of $4,481,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $3,405,000 for the nine months ended September, 2006, an increase of $1,076,000.  Basic earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $1.28 compared to $.91 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  Diluted earnings per common share were $1.25 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $0.89 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The Company had various nonrecurring items occurring in both nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 these include a pre-tax charge of $788,000 resulting from expenses associated with the February 16, 2007, separation agreement with an executive vice president of the Bank and the Company, as well as a $200,000 write down taken in the second quarter of 2007, to reduce to zero, the book value of a building the Company donated to a local non profit organization.  Nonrecurring items which occurred in the nine month period ended September 2006 include the previously mentioned pretax loss on securities sale of $1,956,000 and $260,000 increase to income related to the vacation accrual policy change.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1,649,000 or 8.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  This increase was due to an increase in net interest margin to average interest earning assets of 19 basis points to 3.47%, as both the balances and rates earned on interest earning assets rose faster than the balances and rates paid on interest bearing liabilities during the nine month period.   Average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of the prior year by $20,146,000 and $14,312,000, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $789,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $256,000, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  Net charge offs were $630,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 representing an annualized net charge off ratio of 0.12% compared to net charge offs of $829,000 representing an annualized net charge off ratio of 0.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  The increase in the provision for loan losses for the year was due to an increase in nonperforming loans, an increase in consumer delinquencies and portfolio loan growth during the period.

The increase in the provision for loan losses for the year resulted in an increase of $159,000 in the allowance for loan losses.  At September 30, 2007, the loan loss allowance covered .58% of nonperforming 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

Interest Income
Total interest income for the nine months ended September30, 2007, increased $4,517,000, or 12.3%, over the

same period of the prior year.  This increase is primarily the result of two factors: 1) the weighted average interest rate earned on average interest earning assets increased 60 basis points for the nine months ended September30, 2007, as compared to the nine months ended September30, 2006 and 2) the average balance of interest earning assets increased $20,146,000 over the same period.  The increase in interest rates was primarily due to the changing mix of the balance sheet as the average balance of higher yielding commercial, commercial mortgage and second and home equity loans increased $58,174,000, $24,852,000 and $7,264,000 respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, while average balances of lower yielding available for sale securities and residential mortgage loans decreased $58,924,000 and $13,130,000 respectively, over the same two comparative periods.

Interest Expense 
Total interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased $2,868,000, or 16.2%, as compared to the same period a year ago.  The weighted average interest rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities increased 44 basis points, from the September 2006nine month period to the September 2007nine month period.  The increase in weighted average interest rates paid on retail certificates of deposits increased approximately 75 basis points, while average balances increased $31,153,000.  Average balances of brokered deposits, public funds certificates of deposit and FHLB advances decreased $7,313,000, $7,128,000 and $11,914,000, respectively.

Non Interest Income
Total non interest income increased $2,255,000 or 31.3% to $9,467,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.   The pre-tax loss of $1,956,000 resulting from the sale of approximately $65.5 million of investment securities in 2006 was the primary reason for the increase in non interest income.    Other increases included deposit fee income which increased $401,000 or 9.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, due to an overdraft privilege program introduced by the Company in March 2006, as well as an increasing number of demand and commercial checking accounts.  The Company’s average number of demand accounts and commercial checking accounts increased approximately 212 and 234, respectively, in the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. Investment advisory services fees increased $350,000 or 33.9% over the prior year due to the Company adding an additional broker in both June and July of 2006, as well as the purchase of a brokerage book of business in June 2007.  The Company sold its loan servicing portfolio in December of 2006.  In the first nine months of 2006, the Company recorded $298,000 in loan servicing income from the recovery of an impairment charge related to mortgage servicing rights.  Both of these factors resulted in loan servicing income decreasing $586,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Non Interest Expenses 
Non interest expenses increased $1,816,000 or 8.8% to $22,458,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  Compensation and employee benefits expense increased $567,000 or 4.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The Company reduced its vacation accrual $260,000 pursuant to a change in vacation policy in the third quarter of 2006.  Compensation and employee benefits expense also increased due to additional salary and incentive expense for the new commercial lenders in Indianapolis and related support staff and normal annual salary increases.   These increases were mitigated by the reduction in compensation expense attained through a reorganization of the Company, which occurred in the second half of the first quarter, allowing the Company to operate effectively with fewer personnel in other areas.

Occupancy expenses increased $109,000 or 3.8% due primarily to the rent associated with the new Indianapolis office.  Marketing expense decreased $217,000 over the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The Company anticipates marketing expenses for 2007 to be approximately equal to 2006; however, the timing of when these amounts will be incurred as compared to the prior year will fluctuate.  Miscellaneous expense increased $1,265,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to a first quarter charge associated with a separation agreement with a former executive vice president of the Bank and the Company of $788,000, as well as the  $200,000 write down associated with the building donation.  Other non interest expense increases included $100,000 in professional fees primarily due to additional legal and accounting expenses incurred to address new proxy disclosure requirements and new accounting pronouncements.

Taxes
The effective tax rate for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, is 34.5% and 32.0%, respectively.  The applicable income tax expense for both periods includes the benefit of tax-exempt income partially offset by the effect of nondeductible expenses.  Prior to September 1, 2006, state income tax expense for the Company did not include the Company’s Nevada subsidiary, Home Investment Inc., as the subsidiary did not have nexus with the state of Indiana before that date. Home Investment Inc.’s pretax income for the eight month period
 
 
- 15 -


ended August 31, 2006, before nexus was established, was approximately $2,685,000. The month of September 2006 pretax loss was approximately $1,462,762 due to the securities sale.  The current nine month period ended September 30, 2007, includes $1,643,000 of pretax income from the Nevada subsidiary.  Additionally, in the current nine month period the Company received a federal tax benefit for the donation of a building held for investment to a local non profit organization.

Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 1.35% at September 30, 2007 from 0.46% at December 31, 2006.  Nonperforming loans to total gross loans increased to 1.59% at September 30, 2007 from 0.54% at December 31, 2006. The increase in nonperforming assets and non performing loans was due primarily to two commercial relationships that moved to non-accrual status totaling approximately $6.1 million.  One commercial loan of $3.1 million is secured by accounts receivable inventory and facilities.  The other $3 million commercial relationship is a residential land development loan which is secured by the underlying collateral.  The allowance for loan losses increased to $6,757,000 as of September 30, 2007 compared to $6,598,000 at December 31, 2006.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.92% at September 30, 2007.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 the Company’s loan portfolio increased $42,398,000 primarily through $65,566,000 of growth in the commercial and commercial mortgage loans being offset by decreases of $17,940,000 in residential mortgages and $5,440,000 in other consumer loans.  The growth in commercial loans was the primary contributor to the decrease in the ratio of allowance to total loans.  Although commercial lending generally carries more risk the allowance for loan losses that corresponds to the recent commercial loan growth is consistent with the current risk grades on the individual relationships.  Management’s analysis of the unallocated portion of the allowance remains consistent with the prior quarter as no major changes were noted in the Indianapolis commercial market or the Company’s other major markets.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Total assets as of September 30, 2007, were $876,602,000, which was a decrease of $27,865,000 from December 31, 2006, total assets of $904,467,000.  Changes within the various balance sheet categories included a $69,916,000 decrease in cash and due from banks.  Cash and due from banks was unusually high at the end of the prior year due to large deposits made by public fund customers at year end, which were subsequently withdrawn as public fund checking deposit balances decreased $47,579,000.  Certificates of deposits increased $14,601,000 as the Company ran promotions to attract this funding.  Another use of cash was the funding of commercial loans.  Total loans increased $42,398,000 with the increase in commercial loans being offset by a decrease in residential mortgage loans of $17,940,000.  The decrease in residential mortgage loans reflects the Company’s current practice of selling the majority of its residential loan originations.  Additional decreases occurred in consumer loans of $5,440,000.  The majority of the decrease in consumer loans relates to the Company’s decision in 2006 to no longer originate indirect auto loans.  Brokered deposits declined $13,158,000 due to maturities.  FHLB borrowings increased $15,032,000.  The Company from time to time takes advantage of attractive pricing on FHLB borrowings to replace other funding sources or provide for anticipated funding needs.

Bank premises and equipment decreased $1,919,000 to $15,313,000 as of September 30, 2007.  This decrease is the result of a sale leaseback transaction completed by the Company in the third quarter of 2007.  The Company sold four retail branch buildings and entered into operating leases with the buyer.  The gain on sale of these buildings, which totaled approximately $2.0 million, was deferred and will be amortized over the life of the leases.  The proceeds from the sale will be used to fund commercial loan growth.
 
Shareholders' equity decreased $2,401,000 during the first nine months of 2007.  Retained earnings increased $4,481,000 from net income and decreased $2,095,000 for shareholder dividends and $8,086,000 from stock buy backs.  Common stock increased $3,259,000 from the exercise of common stock options, $321,000 from the related tax benefit of disqualifying dispositions of such options, and $98,000 from recognition of compensation expense associated with vesting of stock options.  Common stock decreased $437,000 from stock buy backs.  Additionally, the Company had other comprehensive gain from unrealized gains in its securities available for sale portfolio, net of tax, of $58,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Capital Resources
Tier I capital consists principally of shareholders’ equity including Tier I qualifying junior subordinated debt, but excluding unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, less goodwill and certain other intangibles. Tier II capital consists of general allowances for loan losses, subject to limitations. Assets are adjusted under the risk-based guidelines to take into account different risk characteristics. Average assets for this purpose does not include goodwill and any other intangible assets that the Federal Reserve Board determines should be deducted from Tier I capital.

Liquidity 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 September 30, 2007, the Bank had $83,699,000 in such borrowings.  In addition, at September 30, 2007, the Bank had commitments to purchase
loans of $12,909,000, as well as commitments to fund loan originations of $45,877,000, unused home equity lines of credit of $46,626,000 and unused commercial lines of credit of $64,383,000, as well as commitments to sell loans of $42,710,000. 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 September 30 , 2007   are not materially different from th e results presented on page 1 7 of the Company s annual report for the twelve month period ended December 31, 20 0 6 .   The recent adverse conditions of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations backed by subprime or near-subprime mortgage loans continues to affect credit quality within this market segment.  The Company does not invest in this market segment and therefore the credit decline has not impacted the Company.

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 regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), 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 effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company
in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in those reports is accumulated and communicated to
management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)     Changes in internal controls.   There were no 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 have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
