SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report include the accounts of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”). The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and are unaudited. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2009.

The Company was formed as the new stock holding company for the Bank in connection with the Bank’s conversion from the mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure, which was completed on December 19, 2007 (the “Conversion”). Prior to the completion of the Conversion, the Bank was the subsidiary of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., a federally-chartered stock mid-tier holding company (“Old Home Federal”), and Old Home Federal was a subsidiary of Home Federal MHC, a federally-chartered mutual holding company. The Bank formed the mutual holding company structure in December 2004. As a result of the Conversion, Home Federal MHC and Old Home Federal ceased to exist and were replaced by the Company as the successor to Old Home Federal. See Note 3 below for additional information regarding the Conversion.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008 (“2008 Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 15, 2008.

Note 2 - Critical Accounting Estimates and Related Accounting Policies

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

Allowance for loan losses. The procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses reflect evaluation of credit risk after careful consideration and interpretation of relevant information. In developing this assessment, management must rely on estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters where the ultimate outcome is unknown, such as economic factors, developments affecting companies in specific industries and issues with respect to single borrowers. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management believes to be the best estimate of probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet dates presented. Depending on changes in circumstances, future assessments of credit risk may yield materially different results, which may require an increase or a decrease in the allowance for loan losses.

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

See accompanying notes.

Note 3 –Conversion and Reorganization

The Company is a Maryland corporation that was formed as the new stock holding company for Home Federal Bank in connection with the Conversion. As part of the Conversion, a total of 9,384,000 new shares of the Company were sold at $10.00 per share in subscription, community and syndicated community offerings through which the Company received proceeds of approximately $87.8 million, net of offering costs of approximately $5.9 million. The Company contributed $48.0 million, or approximately 50%, of the net proceeds of the offering to the Bank in the form of a capital contribution. The Company loaned $8.2 million to the Bank’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) and the ESOP used those funds to acquire 816,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $10 per share. As part of the Conversion, shares of outstanding common stock of Old Home Federal were exchanged for 1.136 shares of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares were issued. Instead, cash was paid to stockholders at $10.00 per share for any fractional shares that would otherwise be issued. The exchange resulted in an additional 852,865 outstanding shares of the Company for a total of 17,325,901 outstanding shares as of the closing of the Conversion on December 19, 2007, after giving effect to the redemption of fractional shares.

The Conversion was accounted for as a reorganization in corporate form with no change in the historical basis of the Company’s assets, liabilities and equity. All references to the number of shares outstanding, with the exception of those reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are restated to give retroactive recognition to the exchange ratio applied in the Conversion.

Note 4 - Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (Loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed using the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as applicable. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the Company’s net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding, which include common stock equivalent shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, unless such shares are anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents arise from assumed conversion of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards. ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for earnings per share purposes until they are committed to be released.

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

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Six Months Ended March 31,
	2009		2008		2009			2008
	(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Basic EPS:
Net income (loss)	$	476	$	945	$	(325	)	$	1,892
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		15,740,064		15,962,325		15,936,796			16,352,427
Basic EPS	$	0.03	$	0.06	$	(0.02	)	$	0.12

Diluted EPS:
Net income (loss)	$	476	$	945	$	(325	)	$	1,892
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		15,740,064		15,962,325		15,936,796			16,352,427
Net effect of dilutive stock options		-		-		-			-
Net effect of dilutive restricted stock		36,266		15,892		-			22,024
Weighted-average common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents		15,776,330		15,978,217		15,936,796			16,374,451
Diluted EPS	$	0.03	$	0.06	$	(0.02	)	$	0.12

For the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, there were 547,942 and 638,308 options excluded from the calculation of EPS, respectively as their effect was anti-dilutive. For the six months ended March

31, 2008, earnings per share and average shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the second-step conversion and reorganization of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., which occurred on December 19, 2007.

Note 5 - Mortgage-Backed Securities

Mortgage-backed securities available for sale consisted of the following:

	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value

	(in thousands)
March 31, 2009
Issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises	$	173,507	$	5,326	$	(9	)	$	178,824
Other		3,353		-		(645	)		2,708
Total	$	176,860	$	5,326	$	(654	)	$	181,532

September 30, 2008
Issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises	$	187,730	$	669	$	(2,669	)	$	185,730
Other		3,390		-		(333	)		3,057
Total	$	191,120	$	669	$	(3,002	)	$	188,787

The fair value of temporarily impaired securities, the amount of unrealized losses and the length of time these unrealized losses existed as of March 31, 2009 were as follows:

	Less than 12 months		12 months or longer		Total
	Fair Value	Unrealized Losses	Fair Value	Unrealized Losses	Fair Value	Unrealized Losses
	(in thousands)
Mortgage-backed
securities, available
for sale	$2,854	$(9)	$2,708	$(645)	$5,562	$(654)

Management has evaluated these securities and has determined that the decline in the value is temporary and not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers. The declines in value are on securities that have contractual maturity dates and, at March 31, 2009, management believes it is reasonably probable that principal and interest balances on those securities will be collected based on the performance, underwriting and vintage of the loans underlying the temporarily-impaired securities. However, continued deteriorating economic conditions may result in degradation in the performance of the loans underlying those securities in the future. The Company has the ability and intent to hold the temporarily-impaired securities for a reasonable period of time for a forecasted recovery of the amortized cost.

As of March 31, 2009, the Bank had pledged mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $75.0 million and a fair value of $77.4 million as collateral for FHLB advances. Mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $5.2 million and a fair value of $5.4 million at March 31, 2009, were pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank as collateral for treasury tax and loan funds held by the Bank and for borrowings from the discount window.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurement

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157, among other things, requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

·	Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

·	Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

·	Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

The following table summarized the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2009:

	March 31, 2009
		Total	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
	(in thousands)

Securities available for sale		$181,532	-	$181,532	-

Additionally, certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2009:

	March 31, 2009
		Total	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
	(in thousands)

Impaired loans		$9,864	-	-	$9,864

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral at March 31, 2009, had a carrying amount of $9.9 million, net of valuation allowances totaling $1.6 million, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $207,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Securities: The Company’s securities available for sale primarily consist of mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises and trade in active markets. These securities are included under Level 2 because there may or may not be daily trades in each of the individual securities and because the valuation of these securities may be based on instruments that are not exactly identical to those owned by the Company.

Impaired loans: A loan is considered impaired when, based upon currently known information, it is deemed probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due as scheduled according to the original terms of the agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Impaired loans, which are collateral dependent, are included in the table above.

Background and Overview

Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”) was founded in 1920 as a building and loan association and reorganized as a federal mutual savings and loan association in 1936. On December 6, 2004, the Bank converted to stock form and reorganized into the two-tiered mutual holding company form of organization and formed Home Federal MHC and Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. (“Old Home Federal”). In connection with that transaction, Old Home Federal sold 40.00% of its outstanding shares of common stock (6,083,500 shares) to the public and issued 59.04% of its outstanding shares of common stock (8,979,246 shares) to Home Federal MHC, the mutual holding company parent of Old Home Federal. In connection with that transaction, Old Home Federal also established and capitalized the Home Federal Foundation (“Foundation”) for the purpose of supporting charitable organizations and activities that enhance the quality of life for residents within the Bank’s market area. The Foundation was capitalized with a $1.8 million one-time contribution, which consisted of 146,004 shares of its common stock and $365,010 in cash.

On May 11, 2007, the Boards of Directors of Old Home Federal, Home Federal MHC and the Bank adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Bank reorganized from the mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure. As a result of that transaction, Home Federal Bank formed a new stock holding company, Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. (“we”, “us”, the “Company”), that serves as the

holding company for Home Federal Bank. Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., is a Maryland corporation. The Conversion was completed on December 19, 2007.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, shares of outstanding common stock of Old Home Federal were exchanged for 1.136 shares of the Company’s common stock. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares. The Conversion was approved by the Bank’s members, the Company’s stockholders (including the approval of a majority of the shares held by persons other than Home Federal MHC) and regulatory agencies. The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “HOME” and is included in the U.S. Russell 2000® Index.

The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial service needs of consumers and businesses within its market area. The Bank’s primary business is attracting deposits from the general public and using these funds to originate loans. The Bank emphasizes the origination of commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, construction and residential development loans, consumer loans and loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied residential real estate. As a result of a comprehensive and continuing review of its strategic business plan, the Company continues to expand its commercial and small business banking programs, including a variety of loan and deposit products.

The Bank serves the Treasure Valley region of southwestern Idaho, which includes Ada, Canyon, Elmore and Gem counties, through its 15 full-service banking offices and one loan center. Nearly 40% of the state’s population lives and works in the four counties served by Home Federal Bank. Ada County has the largest population and includes the city of Boise, the state capital. Home Federal Bank maintains its largest branch presence in Ada County with eight locations, followed by Canyon County with five branches, including the Company’s corporate headquarters in Nampa. The two remaining branches are located in Elmore and Gem Counties.

The following items summarize the key factors affecting performance of the Company and the key strategic initiatives undertaken by management during the Company’s second quarter of fiscal year 2009:

Economic conditions in the Treasure Valley continued to deteriorate as a result of rising unemployment, bankruptcies and foreclosures and declining real estate values, which resulted in rising levels of delinquent loans and nonperforming assets and the need for an additional provision for loan losses;

§	Costs associated with foreclosed real estate and FDIC insurance premiums caused an increase in the efficiency ratio as noninterest expense increases outpaced higher revenue;

§	The previously announced 5% share repurchase program was completed. A total of 867,970 shares were purchased at an average purchase price of $9.04 per share during the quarter;

§	The slowdown in consumer spending reduced fee income;

§	The Bank’s newly-formed Small Business Banking Group had a successful second quarter by generating new deposit balance relationships;

§	Net interest margin expanded due to declining funding costs and continued deleveraging of low-spread assets and liabilities; and

§	The Bank maintained its strong capital position with a total risk-based capital ratio of 32.9% at

March 31, 2009.

The current economic and interest rate environments continue to challenge management’s growth plans. Total assets continued to decline during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 as a lack of demand for loans, or more importantly a diminished supply of creditworthy lending opportunities, and residential loan refinancing runoff, limited the Company’s ability to increase outstanding loan balances. Alternative investments are also unattractive as investment securities offer very low yields within management’s credit and interest rate risk tolerances. As competitor financial institutions continue to struggle with liquidity, some are offering deposit rates that exceed the Company’s wholesale borrowing costs. Therefore, certificate of deposit balances have declined as some customers chose to move their maturing certificate of deposit balances to competitors in search of higher returns.

Consistent with its business strategy, the Company reduced fixed-term borrowing balances with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (“FHLB”) and management of the Bank continued to focus on growing core deposits, which are defined as non-maturity deposits such as checking, savings and money market accounts. Some success during the quarter, particularly in the Bank’s new Small Business Banking Group, resulted in higher core deposit balances, which management believes will increase the franchise value of the Company and improve profitability by reducing

interest rate sensitivity and high-cost borrowing balances. Core deposit relationships should also increase revenue through service and interchange fee income.

While interchange income fell slightly in fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008, fee income from nonsufficient funds (“NSF”) transactions has fallen significantly from the Bank’s historical levels. The reason for this is twofold: (1) management is focusing on higher-balance relationship deposit accounts rather than low-balance, high fee accounts and (2) the economic slowdown has reduced consumer spending and management believes depositors are more closely monitoring their account balances. Nonetheless, management is concerned that continued declines in NSF revenue will limit future non interest revenue growth and cause the Company to be more dependent on net interest income. In response to this and to execute the strategy of increasing core deposit balances, the Bank will launch a new checking account that management believes will result in higher checking account balances and provide an incentive for customers to use their check cards more frequently, which should result in higher interchange income.

Nonperforming assets and delinquent loans increased during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Loans to finance construction and land acquisition and development projects have been the source of the Company’s nonperforming loan balance increases. Commercial real estate loans are now being pressured as property vacancies continue to climb in the Treasure Valley and the previously mentioned slow down in consumer spending is causing many independent and national retailers to close stores or reduce inventory. The Bank’s Credit Administration Department is also spending considerable time reviewing home equity lines of credit and, in some cases, suspending lines at their current balances in order to mitigate future loan losses.

Micron Technology, Inc., one of the larger employers headquartered in our market area, recently announced a plan to eliminate 2,000 jobs in the Treasure Valley during calendar 2009. The unemployment rate in the Treasure Valley has increased to 8.4% in February 2009 from 4.5% in March 2008 as total employment fell 6.5% during that time period to a level in February 2009 that has not been seen in the Boise-Nampa market since February 2005.

Nonetheless, management is optimistic about the long-term outlook for the Company as capital levels remain very high compared to peers and the level of liquidity in the balance sheet provides flexibility to execute several strategies to weather this economic storm and emerge as one of the strongest financial institutions in the Pacific Northwest.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Related Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses. Management recognizes that losses may occur over the life of a loan and that the allowance for loan losses must be maintained at a level necessary to absorb specific losses on impaired loans and probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis by analyzing several factors including delinquency rates, charge-off rates and the changing risk profile of the Bank’s loan portfolio, as well as local economic conditions such as unemployment rates, bankruptcies and vacancy rates of business and residential properties.

The Company believes that the accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period, requiring management to make assumptions about probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The impact of a sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively impact earnings.

The Company’s methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of specific allocations on significant individual credits and a general allowance amount, including a range of losses. The specific allowance component is determined when management believes that the collectibility of an individually reviewed loan has been impaired and a loss is probable. The general allowance component relates to assets with no well-defined deficiency or weakness and takes into consideration losses that are inherent within the portfolio but have not been identified. The general allowance is determined by applying a historical loss percentage to various types of loans with similar characteristics and classified loans that are not analyzed specifically. Adjustments are made to historical loss percentages to reflect current economic and internal environmental factors, such as changes in underwriting standards and management turnover, which may increase or decrease those loss factors. As a result of the

imprecision in calculating inherent and potential losses, a range is added to the general allowance to provide an allowance for loan losses that is adequate to cover losses that may arise as a result of changing economic conditions and other qualitative factors that may alter historical loss experience. Additionally, future events may evidence additional losses that were unknown at the time management estimated the allowance, which may require an increase in the allowance for loan losses in future periods.

The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period operating results and decreased by the amount of actual loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.

The Company also estimates a reserve related to unfunded loan commitments. In assessing the adequacy of the reserve, the Company uses a similar approach used in the development of the allowance for loan losses. The reserve for unfunded loan commitments is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The provision for unfunded commitments is charged to noninterest expense.

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

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, total assets decreased $32.6 million. The changes in total assets were primarily concentrated in the following asset categories:

					(decrease)

	Balance at March 31, 2009		Balance at September 30, 2008		Amount			Percent
	(dollars in thousands)

Cash and amounts due from depository institutions	$	18,826	$	23,270	$	(4,444	)		(19.1	)%
Mortgage-backed securities, at fair value		181,532		188,787		(7,255	)		(3.8	)
Loans receivable, net		439,170		459,813		(20,643	)		(4.5	)

Cash. Cash and amounts due from depository institutions decreased $4.4 million to $18.8 million at March 31, 2009, from $23.3 million at September 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to excess cash being used to pay off maturing borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (the “FHLB”).

Securities. The fair value of mortgage-backed securities decreased $7.3 million to $181.5 million at March 31, 2009, from $188.8 million at September 30, 2008. The decrease was the net of principal repayments and the increase in the value of the mortgage backed securities portfolio during the six months ended March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2009, the unrealized gain on the portfolio was $4.7 million compared to an unrealized loss of $2.3 million at September 30. 2008. Principal reduction totaled $14.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 and are occurring at an accelerating rate due to the historically low rates available on residential mortgages, which is increasing refinancing activity.

Nearly all of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities are issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While the U.S. Government has recently affirmed its support for government sponsored enterprises and the mortgage-backed securities they issued, significant deterioration in the financial strength of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or mortgage-backed security insurers may have a material effect on the valuation and performance of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio in future periods.

Non-agency, also referred to as “private label,” mortgage-backed securities had a fair value of $2.7 million at

March 31, 2009, compared to their amortized cost of $3.4 million. The securities carried a rating of ‘AAA’ by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s at that date. The value of private label mortgage-backed securities have fallen and have been more volatile than securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises due to the deterioration of the national residential loan market. Management has reviewed the delinquency status, credit support and collateral coverage of the loans pooled in the private label securities portfolio and has concluded the securities were not other than temporarily impaired at March 31, 2009. However, continued deterioration in the economy and rapid increases in unemployment may result in a change in the performance expectation for these securities in the future, which may negatively impact the Company’s earnings. At March 31, 2009, the Company did not own collateralized debt obligations or trust preferred securities.

FHLB Stock. At March 31, 2009, the Bank held $9.6 million of common stock in the FHLB. This security is reported at par value, which represents the Bank’s cost. The FHLB recently announced that it would report a risk-based capital deficiency under the regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (the “FHFA”), its primary regulator, as of December 31, 2008. As a result, the FHLB stopped paying a dividend and stated that it would suspend the repurchase and redemption of outstanding common stock until its retained earnings deficiency was reclaimed.

The FHLB has communicated to the Company that it believes the calculation of risk-based capital under the current rules of the FHFA significantly overstates the market and credit risk of the FHLB’s private-label mortgage-backed securities in the current market environment and that they have enough capital to cover the risks reflected in the FHLB’s balance sheet. As a result, the Company has not recorded an "other than temporary impairment" on its investment in FHLB stock. However, continued deterioration in the FHLB’s financial position may result in impairment in the value of those securities, the requirement that the Bank contribute additional funds to recapitalize the FHLB, or reduce the Bank’s ability to borrow funds from the FHLB, impairing the Bank’s ability to meet liquidity demands.

Loans. Net loans receivable decreased $20.6 million to $439.2 million at March 31, 2009, from $459.8 million at September 30, 2008. One- to four-family residential mortgage loans decreased $24.4 million as mortgage rates fell during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, which led to significantly higher levels of mortgage loan refinancing. Additionally, the Bank originates conventional one- to four-family residential loans for sale in the secondary market. As a result, the residential loan portfolio will likely continue to decline as new loans are not added to the portfolio. Consumer loans decreased $2.9 million to $53.4 million as of March 31, 2009. Commercial real estate, multifamily and acquisition and development loans increased $9.4 million to $208.0 million at March 31, 2009 from $198.6 million at September 30, 2008. However, commercial, multifamily and acquisition and development loans declined $6.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily as a result of a $7.3 million reduction in the real estate construction loan portfolio associated with the repayment of a large loan during the period. The Company plans to continue its emphasis on commercial and small business banking products.

Asset Quality. Loans delinquent 30 to 89 days, which included $1.2 million of loans on nonaccrual status, totaled $11.6 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $6.5 million at September 30, 2008, and $4.0 million at March 31, 2008. Nonperforming assets, which includes all loans on nonaccrual status, impaired loans and real estate owned, totaled $19.1 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $10.6 million at September 30, 2008, and $2.3 million at March 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses was $7.3 million, or 1.64%, of gross loans at March 31, 2009, compared to $4.6 million, or 0.98% of gross loans at September 30, 2008, and $3.3 million, or 0.69% of gross loans at March 31, 2008.

The largest increase in delinquent loans during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 occurred in the commercial real estate portfolio with balances delinquent more than 30 days increasing by $3.9 million to $8.4 million at March 31, 2009. Net charge-offs totaled $1.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Real estate owned increased

$3.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 to $4.5 million at March 31, 2009. Real estate owned was comprised of $2.9 million of land development and speculative one- to four-family construction projects, $1.0 million of commercial real estate and $610,000 of one- to four-family residential properties.

The following table summarizes loans delinquent 30 to 89 days at March 31, 2009, and September 30, 2008:

	March 31,		September 30,
	2009		2008
	(in thousands)
Land acquisition and development	$	133	$	1,150
One- to four-family construction		760		241
Commercial real estate		5,313		3,094
One- to four-family residential		5,242		1,836
Other		193		190
Total loans delinquent 30 to 89 days	$	11,641	$	6,511

When a loan becomes 90 days delinquent, the Bank places the loan on nonaccrual status. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Generally, an impaired loan is also placed on nonaccrual status, regardless of delinquency. As a result, some loans that are not 90 days or more past due may be in nonaccrual status if it is considered impaired. The delinquency table above includes $1.2 million of loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status at March 31, 2009, which are also included in the table below that summarizes total nonperforming loans (including nonaccrual and impaired loans) as well as real estate owned at March 31, 2009, and September 30, 2008:

Troubled debt restructurings that are not included in the delinquency or nonperforming asset tables above totaled $654,000 at March 31, 2009.

Nearly all of the Company’s loans are secured by collateral located in the Treasure Valley or southern Idaho. Approximately 60% and 20% of the Bank’s commercial real estate and construction and land development loans are secured by properties in Ada and Canyon counties in Idaho, respectively. Approximately 6% of that portfolio is secured by properties located in eastern Idaho, 5% is located in Valley County in Idaho, and 4% is located in the Twin Falls and Ketchum areas.

In 2005, the Bank purchased approximately $38.8 million of residential real estate loans from Countrywide Financial, now Bank of America, who continues to service the loans. Balances on the portfolio totaled $23.0 million at March 31, 2009. Approximately 92.1% of the portfolio balance is secured by properties outside of the state of Idaho and delinquencies and foreclosures are rising quickly in that portfolio. At March 31, 2009, loans in this portfolio that were delinquent over 30 days totaled $3.1 million, or 12.8%, of the portfolio, including $2.2 million of

nonperforming loans that are reported in the table above. The total reserve allocated to loans in this loan portfolio was $1.0 million at March 31, 2009, or 4.1% of the balance of loans outstanding on that date.

At March 31, 2009, nearly all of the Company’s home equity lines of credit (“HELOC”) were directly originated through the Bank’s branch network. However, approximately $1.5 million of HELOCs, or 4.2% of the HELOC portfolio at March 31, 2009, were originated through broker relationships. While nearly all of these loans are secured by properties in southern Idaho, management ceased indirect origination of HELOCs in fiscal 2008. The average credit score of borrowers in the Bank’s total HELOC portfolio was 748 at loan origination, and the average combined loan to value was 72%.

The Treasure Valley economy continues to deteriorate as unemployment rose quickly from 4.80% in September 2008 to an estimated 8.40% in February 2009. New home and commercial real estate construction has nearly come to a standstill as excess inventory in the residential and commercial real estate markets continues to reduce property values. The pending closure of retail locations as a result of reduced consumer spending will exacerbate the problem.

Management believes the Treasure Valley is at the beginning of a downturn in the commercial real estate market. As a result of this uncertainty, management recorded a significant provision for loan losses during the six months ended March 31, 2009, in order to increase the general reserve component of the allowance for loan losses. While the $2.4 million provision for loan losses for the full fiscal year of 2008 and the $4.6 million provision recorded for the first six months of fiscal 2009 exceeds the level of net charge-offs during those periods, management believes such an increase in the allowance for loan losses is prudent and appropriate and that the allowance for loan losses reflects management’s best estimate of probable, known and estimable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2009. However, additional information may later come to management’s attention, evidencing losses in excess of the amounts estimated, which may negatively affect earnings in the future.

Last year, management realigned the Credit Administration Department and appointed a Chief Credit Officer, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, in anticipation of this environment. The Bank also recently hired a senior workout professional to increase the Credit Administration Department’s resources.

Deposits. Deposits increased $3.6 million, or 1.0%, to $376.6 million at March 31, 2009, from $372.9 million at September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of savings accounts. Savings account balances have been increasing each month in the current fiscal year with the most significant increase in balances occurring during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in certificates of deposit was due to choosing not to match rates offered by local competitors that in many cases exceeded the Bank’s cost of alternative funding sources. The Bank had no brokered deposits at March 31, 2009, or September 30, 2008. The following table details the composition of the deposit portfolio and changes in deposit balances:

					Increase (decrease)

	Balance at March 31, 2009		Balance at September 30, 2008		Amount			Percent

	(dollars in thousands)

Noninterest-bearing demand deposits	$	37,323	$	41,398	$	(4,075	)		(9.8	)%
Interest-bearing demand deposits		134,047		127,714		6,333			5.0
Savings deposits		33,704		26,409		7,295			27.6
Certificates of deposit		171,494		177,404		(5,910	)		(3.3	)
Total deposit accounts	$	376,568	$	372,925	$	3,643			1.0	%

Approximately 72% of the certificates of deposit portfolio at March 31, 2009, is scheduled to mature within 12 months. While this presents an opportunity to reduce the cost of interest bearing deposits in the current low interest rate environment, the significant level of maturities of certificates also places a burden on the Company’s liquidity if management is unable to retain the maturing balances.

Borrowings. FHLB advances decreased $33.1 million, or 24.1%, to $103.9 million at March 31, 2009, from $137.0 million at September 30, 2008. Excess cash and principal payment proceeds from mortgage-backed securities and

residential loan portfolios were used to repay FHLB advances as they matured. The Bank uses FHLB advances as an alternative funding source to deposits, manage funding costs, reduce interest rate risk, and to leverage the balance sheet.

Deferred Income Tax Asset/Liability. The Company had a deferred tax asset of $1.1 million at March 31, 2009 versus a deferred tax asset of $1.8 million at September 30, 2008. There are three major components to the change. There was a $2.8 million shift from an unrealized loss on the Company’s mortgage-backed securities’ portfolio as of September 30, 2008 to an unrealized gain as of March 31, 2009, as interest rates fell and spreads narrowed, increasing the value of the securities portfolio during the quarter. There was a $1.4 million increase in deferred tax assets due to a $4.6 million provision for loan loss recorded during the six month period. Lastly, deferred tax liability decreased $710,000 due to the sale of mortgage servicing rights completed in December 2008.

Equity. Stockholders’ equity decreased $4.5 million, or 2.2%, to $200.6 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $205.2 million at September 30, 2008. The funds used to complete the repurchase of the remaining shares pursuant to our share repurchase program during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was the primary cause for the decrease in stockholders’ equity. Dividends and a year-to-date loss from operations in fiscal 2009 reduced retained earnings while a lower interest rate environment at March 31, 2009 increased the unrealized gain on securities by $4.2 million, net of tax, compared to September 30, 2008. The Company’s book value per share as of March 31, 2009 was $12.15 per share based upon 16,515,168 outstanding shares of common stock, a 2.9% increase from September 30, 2008.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $476,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $945,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, which consisted of net interest income before the provision for loan losses plus noninterest income, was unchanged at $8.3 million for both the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and the same period of the prior year. However, total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 increased $99,000, or 1.2%, from the linked first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company’s efficiency ratio increased to 79.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to 77.77% for the same quarter a year ago.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $183,000, or 3.2%, to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense. Current rates paid on deposits are significantly lower than in the prior year. In addition, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing balances are lower than in the same period of the prior year as some maturing advances have been repaid with excess liquidity.

The Company’s net interest margin increased 45 basis points to 3.60% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, from 3.15% for the same quarter last year. The improvement in the net interest margin is primarily attributable to the decrease in interest expense between the two periods.

The following table sets forth the impacts to the Company’s net interest income from changes in balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as well as changes in interest rates. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). Changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, are allocated proportionately to the changes in rate and volume.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2009, decreased $1.5 million, or 14.6%, to $8.9 million, from $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease during the quarter was attributable to both a decrease on yields earned on interest earning assets as well as a decrease in interest earning assets.

The following table compares detailed average earning asset balances, associated yields, and resulting changes in interest and dividend income:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2009					2008					Increase/
	Average Balance		Yield			Average Balance		Yield			(Decrease) in Interest and Dividend Income from 2008

Mortgage-backed securities		184,491		4.60			182,865		4.70			(25	)

FHLB stock		9,591		-			9,591		1.29			(31	)
Total interest-earning assets	$	661,428		5.40	%	$	732,444		5.71	%	$	(1,529	)

The decline in the yield on interest-bearing deposits in other banks reflects the significantly lower short-term interest rate environment in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The significantly higher balance of interest-bearing deposits in other banks in the prior year is due to proceeds received from the Conversion.

The yield on loans fell to 5.89% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 also as a result of the decrease in short-term interest rates. For example, the Wall Street Journal Prime rate was 3.25% for the second fiscal quarter of 2009 compared to an average of 6.24% during the same quarter last year. Loans on nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2009 reduced interest income by approximately $255,000.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.7 million, or 36.6%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased $69.3 million, or 13.4%, to $449.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $518.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in interest expense in 2009 was mainly due to a reduction in the outstanding balance of FHLB advances and a lower rate paid on certificates of deposit.

The following table details average balances, cost of funds and the change in interest expense:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2009					2008					Increase/
	Average Balance		Cost			Average Balance		Cost			(Decrease) in Interest Expense from 2008
	(dollars in thousands)

Savings deposits	$	30,642		0.73	%	$	22,776		0.70	%	$	16
Interest-bearing demand deposits		80,404		0.50			78,726		0.62			(23	)
Money market deposits		52,567		1.20			59,902		2.75			(254	)
Certificates of deposit		171,870		3.32			199,652		4.60			(869	)
FHLB advances		113,692		4.32			157,444		4.60			(582	)
Total interest-bearing liabilities	$	449,175		2.64	%	$	518,500		3.61	%	$	(1,712	)

The slight increase in the cost of savings deposits was due to product disintermediation during the second quarter of 2009 as customers shifted their balances to a higher-yielding savings product. The decline in the cost of all other interest-bearing deposits reflects the significantly lower interest rate environment in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses of $1.1 million was recorded as a result of our analysis of the loan portfolio for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to a provision for loan losses of $378,000 for the same quarter of the prior year. The provision reflects the increase in delinquent loans in fiscal 2009 and adjusted valuations on nonperforming loans, as well as losses on loans charged-off during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 that exceeded the losses previously estimated. Additionally, the estimated loss rates and the range of losses were increased during the quarter ended December 31, 2008, as the Treasure Valley and national economies continued to deteriorate rapidly.

While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provision that may be required will not adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Standard provisions for loan losses are established based upon the type of loan and the risk factors associated with that loan type. As the Bank increases its commercial loan portfolio, the Bank anticipates it will increase its allowance for loan losses based upon the higher risk characteristics associated with commercial loans compared with one- to four- family residential loans, which have historically comprised the majority of the Bank’s loan portfolio.

The following table details selected activity associated with the allowance for loan losses:

	At or For the Three Months Ended March 31,

Nonperforming loans as a percentage of gross loans receivable		3.26			0.39
Loans receivable, net	$	439,170		$	477,155

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $138,000, or 5.6%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases of $210,000 and $141,000 in service charges and fees and loan servicing fees, respectively, offset somewhat by an increase in gain on sale of loans of $245,000. The decreases in service charges and fees reflect the continuing slowdown in consumer spending, which has reduced nonsufficient fund fees. The decrease in loan servicing fees is due to the sale of loan servicing rights completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in gain on sale of loans is attributed to the historically low rates available on residential mortgages during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

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

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Increase (decrease)
	2009			2008			Amount			Percent
	(dollars in thousands)
Service fees and charges	$	1,892		$	2,102		$	(210	)		(10.0	)%

Total noninterest income	$	2,345		$	2,483		$	(138	)		(5.6	)%

Other income includes a $66,000 reduction of noninterest income related to the settlement of the purchase price proceeds for the sale of the Bank’s mortgage servicing rights.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $147,000, or 2.3%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in components of noninterest expense:

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Increase (decrease)

	2009		2008		Amount			Percent
	(dollars in thousands)
Compensation and benefits	$	3,779	$	4,053	$	(274	)		(6.8	)%

Other		983		682		301			44.1
Total noninterest expense	$	6,571	$	6,424	$	147			2.3	%

Compensation and benefits, which included severance accruals of $98,000, declined $274,000 or 6.8% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the year-ago period. Insurance and taxes increased as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums were $109,000 higher in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008. Additionally, property taxes were $49,000 higher in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008 as a result of the payment of taxes on foreclosed properties. Other expenses increased during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 2008 primarily as a result of a $161,000 provision for the decline in the value of foreclosed properties.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $198,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Net income before income taxes was $674,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to net income before taxes of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008

Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2009 was $325,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the six months ended March 31, 2008. Earnings per share for the prior period have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the second-step conversion and reorganization of the Company, which occurred on December 19, 2007. Total revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2009, which consisted of net interest income before the provision for loan losses plus noninterest income, increased $570,000 or 3.6% to $16.5 million compared to $15.9 million for the same period of the prior year. The Company’s efficiency ratio decreased to 76.3% for the six months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 77.2% for the same period of the prior year.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $872,000, or 8.1%, to $11.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009, from $10.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was mainly attributable to a decrease in interest expense. Lower interest rates as well as lower outstanding borrowings in the current year than in the year ago period were the main drivers in the decrease.

The Company’s net interest margin increased 41 basis points to 3.48% for the six months ended March 31, 2009, from 3.07% for the same period last year. The improvement in the net interest margin is primarily attributable to the decrease in interest expense between the two periods.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income for the six months ended March 31, 2009 decreased $2.5 million, or 12.1%, to $18.3 million, from $20.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease during the period was attributable to both a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $32.9 million and a drop in yields earned on interest-earning assets of 46 basis points.

The following table compares detailed average earning asset balances, associated yields, and resulting changes in interest and dividend income:

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $3.4 million, or 34.0%, to $6.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $9.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased $70.9 million, or 13.4%, to $459.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $530.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. Decreases in certificates of deposit and FHLB advances of $32.3 million and $43.8 million respectively were primarily responsible for the decrease in interest bearing liabilities.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $302,000, or 5.9%, to $4.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $5.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases of $334,000 and $199,000 in service fees and charges and loan servicing fees offset by an increase in gain on sale of loans of $250,000. The decreases in service charges and fees reflect the continuing slowdown in consumer spending and the decrease in loan servicing fees is due to the sale of loan servicing rights completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in gain on sale of loans is attributed to the historically low rates available on residential mortgages during the first six months of fiscal 2009.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $298,000, or 2.4%, to $12.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $12.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. Compensation and benefits declined $398,000 or 5.1% from the year ago period. This reduction is mainly attributable to the absence of accruals in the current year for incentive awards due to the Company’s financial results to date. The increase in other expense is mainly attributable to costs associated with troubled loans and real estate owned. The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in components of noninterest expense:

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). The Company recorded an income tax benefit of 404,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009. Net loss before income taxes was $729,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to net income of $3.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

Liquidity, Commitments and Capital Resources

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

The primary sources of funds are customer deposits, loan repayments, loan sales, maturing investment securities, and FHLB advances. These sources of funds are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations. While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Management believes the Company’s current liquidity position and anticipated operating results are sufficient to fund the Bank’s known existing commitments and activity levels.

Liquidity is essential to the Company’s business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of loans and other sources could have a substantial negative effect on liquidity. The Company’s access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance the Bank’s activities on acceptable terms could be impaired by factors that affect the Company and the Bank specifically or within the financial services industry or economy in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact the Company’s access to liquidity sources include adverse regulatory action against us, a disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry in light of the recent turmoil faced by banking organizations and the continued deterioration in credit markets.

At March 31, 2009, certificates of deposit were $171.5 million, or 45.5% of total deposits, including $123.3 million that are scheduled to mature by March 31, 2009. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of deposits as they mature. However, recent disruptions in the credit markets have resulted in a highly price-competitive market for certificates of deposit. These rates currently exceed alternative costs of borrowings and are high compared to historical spreads to U.S. Treasury note rates. Additionally, since loan demand continues to slow, management has been reluctant to offer rates in excess of wholesale borrowing costs. This has resulted in some deposit runoff as customers are moving their maturing balances to competitors at a higher pace than the Bank has historically experienced.

At March 31, 2009, the Bank maintained a line of credit with the FHLB of Seattle equal to 40% of total assets to the extent the Bank provides qualifying collateral and holds sufficient FHLB stock. At March 31, 2009, the Bank was in compliance with the collateral requirements and $160.1 million of the line of credit was available. The Bank is highly dependent on the FHLB of Seattle to provide the primary source of wholesale funding for immediate liquidity and borrowing needs. The failure of the FHLB of Seattle or the FHLB system in general, may materially impair the Company’s ability to meet our growth plans or to meet short and long-term liquidity demands. However, the Company’s mortgage backed securities are marketable and could be sold to obtain cash to meet liquidity demands should access to FHLB funding be impaired. Additionally, the Bank could access funding from the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or through the origination of out of market brokered deposits.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Bank was notified by a correspondent bank that the Bank’s $10.0 million unsecured federal funds purchased line was suspended due to the increase in the Bank’s nonperforming assets. This line was available on a secured-borrowing basis at March 31, 2009. The Bank had no balances drawn on the line of credit and management does not believe this has a material impact on the Bank’s liquidity position or on the ability of management to execute the Company’s strategic growth plan.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of the Bank’s customers. These financial instruments generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, and involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Because some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The same credit policies are used in making commitments as are used for on-balance sheet instruments. Collateral is required in instances where deemed necessary.

Undisbursed balances of loans closed include funds not disbursed but committed for construction projects. Unused lines of credit include funds not disbursed, but committed for, home equity, commercial and consumer lines of credit.

Commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily used to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

The following is a summary of commitments and contingent liabilities with off-balance sheet risks as of March 31, 2009:

	Contract or Notional Amount
	(in thousands)
Commitments to originate loans:
Fixed rate	$	12,780
Adjustable rate		127
Undisbursed balance of loans closed		9,676
Unused lines of credit		36,192
Commercial letters of credit		346
Total	$	59,121

Capital. Consistent with the Bank’s goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, efforts are ongoing to actively seek to maintain a “well capitalized” institution in accordance with regulatory standards. The Bank’s total regulatory capital was $141.2 million at March 31, 2009, or 21.5%, of total assets on that date. As of March 31, 2009, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2009 were as follows: Tier 1 capital 21.5%; Tier 1 (core) risk-based capital 31.6%; and total risk-based capital 32.9%. The applicable regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

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

Management employs various strategies to manage the Company’s interest rate sensitivity including: (1) selling long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market; (2) borrowing intermediate to long-term funds at fixed rates from the FHLB; (3) originating commercial and consumer loans at shorter maturities or at variable rates; (4) originating adjustable rate mortgage loans; (5) appropriately modifying loan and deposit pricing to capitalize on the then current market opportunities; and (6) increasing lower cost core deposits, such as savings and checking accounts. At March 31, 2009, the Company had no off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, and the Bank did not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instruments or engage in hedging activities or purchase high risk derivative instruments. Furthermore, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other members of the Company’s management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2009, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. A number of internal control procedures were, however, modified during the quarter in conjunction with the Bank's internal control testing. The Company also continued to implement suggestions from its internal auditor and independent auditors to strengthen existing controls.

The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent every error or instance of fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is engaged in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, none of which are currently considered to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Economic conditions in the Treasure Valley continue to weaken and declines in housing prices and real estate values may result in additional loan losses.

The United States, including our primary banking market, has experienced weakening economic conditions and declines in housing prices and real estate values in general. Our loan portfolio contains significant amounts of loans secured by residential and commercial real estate. We have experienced increases in non-performing assets, net charge-offs and provisions for credit losses as a result of continuing deterioration of the housing markets, increasing financial stress on consumers and weakening economic conditions. We expect continued economic weakness for most of calendar years 2009 and 2010. This environment could lead to increased levels of non-performing assets, net charge-offs and provision for credit losses compared to previous periods.
