PRESS RELEASE - For Immediate Release

       HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

Nampa, ID (July 21, 2005) - Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company")
(Nasdaq:HOME), the parent company of Home Federal Bank (the "Bank"), today
reported net income of $1.8 million, or $0.12 per share, for the quarter ended
June 30, 2005, compared to $1.3 million for the same period a year ago.  Net
income for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $3.5 million, or $0.24 per
share, compared to $3.3 million for the same nine-month period a year ago. 
Results for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 include a $386,000 pre-tax
gain on the sale of a former branch and a $1.8 million pre-tax expense for
establishing the Home Federal Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation").  Excluding
the gain on the sale of the branch and the expense for establishing the
Foundation, the Company had net income of $4.4 million, or $0.30 per share,
for the nine months ended June 30, 2005.

On December 6, 2004, the Bank completed its mutual holding company
reorganization, at which time the Bank converted to stock form and the Company
was organized. As a result, comparisons to prior periods refer to the
resultsof the Bank as a federal mutual savings and loan association, and per
share data is not applicable. The per share data for the nine months ended
June 30, 2005 is being reported on shares outstanding from December 6, 2004
through June 30, 2005.  In connection with the reorganization, the Company
received $53.6 million in net proceeds from a minority stock offering. 

The following table reconciles the Company's actual net income to pro forma
net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, exclusive of the sale of
the branch and the contribution to the Foundation, and as adjusted for Federal
and state taxes (in thousands, except per share data):

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, which consisted of net interest
income before the provision for loan losses and noninterest income, increased
17% to $8.3 million for the quarter, compared to $7.1 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2004.  Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2005
increased 18% to $23.6 million, compared to $20.0 million for the same period
of last year.  Net interest income before the provision for loan losses
increased 24% to $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to
$4.5 million for the same quarter of the prior year.  For the nine months
ended June 30, 2005, net interest income before the provision for loan losses
increased 24% to $16.1 million, compared to $13.0 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2004.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, net interest income after provision for
loan losses grew 31% to $5.5 million, compared to $4.2 million for the same
quarter a year ago.  Net interest income after provision for loan losses for
the nine months ended June 30, 2005 increased 29% to $15.6 million, compared
to $12.1 million for the same period of the prior year.

The Company's net interest margin decreased 21 basis points to 3.64% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005, from 3.85% for the same quarter last year.  The
net interest margin for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 decreased 28 basis
points to 3.61% from 3.89% for the same period a year earlier.  During the
quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company invested the majority of the
proceeds from the Company's minority stock offering in lower-yielding
mortgage-backed securities which was the primary reason for the decrease in
the net interest margin for the quarter and the nine months ended June 30,
2005. 

Noninterest income increased 4% to $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2005, compared to $2.6 million for the same quarter a year ago.  Other
noninterest income includes the receipt of $460,000 in net life insurance
proceeds as a result of the death of a former Bank officer.  The Company also
wrote down the value of its mortgage servicing rights by $200,000.  For the
nine months ended June 30, 2005, noninterest income increased 9% to $7.6
million, compared to $7.0 million for the same period of the prior year.  The
increase in other noninterest income is primarily attributable to the $386,000
gain on the sale of a branch and the receipt of $460,000 in life insurance
proceeds which is offset by a $300,000 impairment of the Company's mortgage
servicing rights.

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased 17% to $5.5
million, compared to $4.7 million for the comparable period a year earlier. 
Included in other noninterest expense was a $210,000 death benefit paid to the
family of a former Bank officer, pursuant to a non-qualified retirement plan. 
The efficiency ratio was relatively unchanged at 66.76% for the third quarter,
compared to 66.41% for the same quarter last year.  Noninterest expense for
the nine months ended June 30, 2005 increased 28% to $17.8 million, compared
to $13.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004.  The $3.9 million
increase was primarily a result of the $1.8 million contribution to the
Foundation, the $210,000 death benefit paid to the family of a former Bank
officer, additional employee compensation and professional expenses related to
being a publicly held company.  The efficiency ratio was 75.25% for the first
nine months of fiscal year end 2005, compared to 69.75% for the same period of
last fiscal year.  Excluding the non-recurring contribution to the Foundation
and the gain on sale of the branch, the efficiency ratio was 68.66% for the
first nine months of fiscal year end 2005.  The efficiency ratio indicates how
much is spent on non-interest expenses as a percentage of total revenue.

Total assets increased 31% to $679.2 million at June 30, 2005 compared to
$519.3 million a year earlier.  Total assets at June 30, 2005 decreased $64.7
million, or 9%, from $743.9 million at September 30, 2004.  Assets at
September 30, 2004 included $220.8 million that was received from subscribers
in the Company's minority stock offering.  These subscription funds were
subsequently refunded to subscribers in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 as
a result of a change in the appraisal of the Company, which increased the
valuation range of the minority stock offering. Following the refund to
subscribers, the Company conducted a resolicitation and received $153.1
million from subscribers.  The Company's minority stock offering, however, was
oversubscribed and as a result, $97.2 million of the $153.1 million of
subscription funds received by the Company were returned to investors in the
quarter ended December 31, 2004.   

Net loans at June 30, 2005, increased 12% to $433.9 million, compared to
$386.8 million at June 30, 2004.  Single family lending represented 61% of the
Bank's loan portfolio at June 30, 2005, compared to 63% at June 30, 2004.
Commercial real estate loans accounted for 29% of the Bank's loan portfolio at
June 30, 2005, compared to 27% at June 30, 2004.
  
Credit quality remains high, as non-performing assets were $1.1 million, or
0.16% of total assets, at June 30, 2005, compared to $723,000, or 0.10% of
total assets, at September 30, 2004 and $676,000, or 0.13% of total assets, at
June 30, 2004.  The allowance for loan losses was $2.9 million, or 0.66% of
gross loans, including loans held for sale, at June 30, 2005 as compared to
$2.6 million, or 0.66% of gross loans, at September 30, 2004 and $2.7 million,
or 0.69% of gross loans, at June 30, 2004. 

Deposits increased 14% to $381.1 million at June 30, 2005 compared to $333.5
million at June 30, 2004.  In connection with the mutual holding company
reorganization and the minority stock offering, stockholders' equity increased
$55.1 million.  In total, stockholders' equity increased $60.0 million to
$103.7 million at June 30, 2005 compared to $43.7 million a year earlier. The
Company's book value per share as of June 30, 2005 was $6.82 per share based
upon 15,208,750 outstanding shares of common stock.
