and all expenses attributable to Home Federal Bancorp’s public filing obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Market Area

Our primary market area for loans and deposits is in northwest Louisiana, particularly Caddo Parish and neighboring communities in Bossier and Webster Parishes, which are located in the
Shreveport-Bossier City-Minden combined statistical area.

Our primary market area in northern Louisiana has a diversified economy with employment in services, government, and wholesale/retail trade constituting the basis of the local economy, with
service jobs being the largest component. The majority of the services are health care related as Shreveport has become a regional hub for health care. The casino gaming industry also supports a significant number of the service jobs. The energy
sector has a prominent role in the regional economy, resulting from oil and gas exploration and drilling.

Competition. We face significant competition both in attracting deposits and in making loans. Our most direct competition for deposits has come
historically from commercial banks, credit unions, and other savings institutions located in our primary market area, including many large financial institutions which have greater financial and marketing resources available to them. In addition,
we face significant competition for investors’ funds from short-term money market securities, mutual funds, and other corporate and government securities. We do not rely upon any individual group or entity for a material portion of our deposits.
Our ability to attract and retain deposits depends on our ability to generally provide a rate of return, liquidity, and risk comparable to that offered by competing investment opportunities.

Our competition for real estate loans comes principally from mortgage banking companies, commercial banks, other savings institutions, and credit unions. We compete for loan originations
primarily through the interest rates and loan fees we charge and the efficiency and quality of services we provide borrowers. Factors which affect competition include general and local economic conditions, current interest rate levels, and
volatility in the mortgage markets. Competition may increase as a result of the continuing reduction of restrictions on the interstate operations of financial institutions.

Lending Activities

General. At June 30, 2026, our net loan portfolio amounted to $475.491 million, representing approximately 73.91% of total assets at that date.
Historically, our principal lending activity was the origination of one-to-four family residential loans. At June 30, 2026, one-to-four family residential loans amounted to $164.214 million, or 34.18% of the total loan portfolio. We have sold a
substantial amount of our fixed-rate conforming one-to-four family residential loans to correspondent banks. Commercial real estate loans amounted to $141.002 million, or 29.34% of the total loan portfolio, at June 30, 2026.

The types of loans that we may originate are subject to federal and state laws and regulations. Interest rates charged on loans are affected principally by the demand for such loans, the supply
of money available for lending purposes, and the rates offered by our competitors. These factors are, in turn, affected by general and economic conditions, the monetary policy of the federal government, including the Federal Reserve Board,
legislative and tax policies, and governmental budgetary matters.

A savings institution generally may not make loans to one borrower and related entities in an amount which exceeds 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus, although loans in an amount equal
to an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus may be made to a borrower, if the loans are fully secured by readily marketable securities. In addition, upon application, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency permits a savings
institution to lend up to an additional 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus to one borrower to develop domestic residential housing units. At June 30, 2026, our regulatory limit on loans to one borrower was $10.195 million, and the five largest
loans or groups of loans to one borrower, including related entities, aggregated $6.751 million, $5.678 million, $5.411 million, $5.222 million, and $5.051 million. Each of our five largest loans or groups of loans was originated with strong
guarantor support to known borrowers in our market area and was performing in accordance with its terms at June 30, 2026.

Loans to or guaranteed by general obligations of a state or political subdivision are not subject to the foregoing lending limits.

Origination of Loans. Our lending activities are subject to written underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by the board of
directors and management. When applicable, loans originated are also subject to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, VA, USDA, and correspondent banks that purchase loans we originate. Loan originations are obtained through a
variety of sources, primarily from existing customers, local realtors, and builders. Written loan applications are taken by one of our loan officers. The loan officer also supervises the procurement of credit reports, income and asset
documentation, and other documentation involved with a loan. All appraisals are ordered through an approved appraisal management company in compliance with the Dodd-Frank Consumer Protection Act. Under our lending policy, a title insurance policy
is required on most mortgage loans, with the exception of certain smaller loan amounts where our policy requires a title opinion only. We also require fire and extended coverage casualty insurance in order to protect the properties securing the
real estate loans. Borrowers must also obtain flood insurance policies when the property is in a flood hazard area.

Our loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, the viability of the loan, and the value of the property that will secure the loan. All residential loans
originated for sale to FNMA or other investor banks that receive an Approve-Eligible recommendation on the automated underwriting feedback certificate that is applicable for each loan type must be approved by a Bank mortgage underwriter. Loans that
do not receive an Approve-Eligible recommendation must be approved by a Bank mortgage underwriter and the Senior Vice President of Mortgage Lending. In addition, all loans originated to be held on the Bank’s portfolio must be approved by a Bank
mortgage underwriter and the Senior Vice President of Mortgage Lending for loans up to $500,000, and for loans up to $1.5 million by the Senior Credit Officer. Commercial real estate secured loans and lines of credit and commercial business loans
up to $2.0 million must be approved by the Chief Banking Officer or Chief Executive Officer, up to $3.0 million by the Chief Banking Officer and Chief Executive Officer, and in excess of $3.0 million by the Executive Committee. In accordance with
past practice, all loans are ratified by our board of directors.

In recent periods, we have originated and sold a substantial amount of our fixed-rate conforming mortgages to correspondent banks. For the year ended June 30, 2026, we originated $50.915 million
of one-to-four family residential loans and sold $30.046 million of such loans. Our residential loan originations primarily consist of conventional, rural development, FHA, and VA loans.

Although federal laws and regulations permit savings institutions to originate and purchase loans secured by real estate located throughout the United States, we concentrate our lending activity in our primary
market area in Caddo, Bossier and Webster Parishes, Louisiana and the surrounding area. Subject to our loans-to-one borrower limitation, we are permitted to invest without limitation in residential mortgage loans and up to 400% of our capital in
loans secured by non-residential or commercial real estate. We also may invest in secured and unsecured consumer loans in an amount not exceeding 35% of total assets. This 35% limitation may be exceeded for certain types of consumer loans, such
as home equity and property improvement loans secured by residential real property. In addition, we may invest up to 10% of our total assets in secured and unsecured loans for commercial, corporate, business, or agricultural purposes. At June 30,
2026, we were within each of the above lending limits.

During fiscal 2026 and 2025, we sold $30.046 million and $18.312 million of loans, respectively. We recognized gain on sale of loans of $642,000 and $384,000 during fiscal 2026 and 2025,
respectively. Loans were sold during these periods primarily to other financial institutions. Such loans were sold against forward sales commitments with servicing released and without recourse after a certain period of time, typically 90 days. The
loans sold primarily consisted of long-term, fixed rate residential real estate loans. We will continue to sell loans in the future to the extent we believe the interest rate environment is unfavorable and interest rate risk is unacceptable.

Contractual Terms to Final Maturities. The following table shows the scheduled contractual maturities of our loans as of June 30, 2026, before giving

Scheduled contractual maturities of loans do not necessarily reflect the actual expected term of the loan portfolio. The average life of mortgage loans is substantially less than their average
contractual terms because of prepayments. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase when current mortgage loan rates are higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when rates on current mortgage loans are
lower than existing mortgage loan rates (due to refinancing of adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans at lower rates). Under the latter circumstance, the weighted average yield on loans decreases as higher yielding loans are repaid or refinanced at
lower rates.

One-to-Four Family Residential Real Estate Loans. As of June 30, 2026, one-to-four family residential loans were $164.214 million, or 34.18%, of the total loan portfolio,
before net items.

The loan-to-value ratios, maturities, and other provisions of the loans made by us generally have reflected the policy of making less than the maximum loan permissible under applicable regulations, in accordance
with sound lending practices, market conditions, and underwriting standards established by us. Our current lending policy on one-to-four family residential loans generally limits the maximum loan-to-value ratio to 90% or less of the appraised
value of the property, although we will lend up to a 100% loan-to-value ratio with private mortgage insurance. These loans are amortized on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each month, terms not in excess of 30 years, and generally
include “due-on-sale” clauses.

At June 30, 2026, $108.894 million, or 66.31%, of our one-to-four family residential mortgage loans were fixed-rate loans. Fixed-rate loans generally have maturities ranging from 15 to 30 years and are fully
amortizing with monthly loan payments sufficient to repay the total amount of the loan with interest by the end of the loan term. Our fixed-rate loans generally are originated under terms, conditions, and documentation which permit them to be
sold to U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other investors in the secondary mortgage market. Consistent with our asset/liability management, we have sold a significant portion of our
long-term, fixed rate loans. Servicing is released on all loans sold.

Although we offer adjustable rate loans, substantially all of the single-family loan originations over the last few years have consisted of fixed-rate loans due to the low interest rate environment. The
adjustable-rate loans held in portfolio typically have interest rates which adjust on an annual basis. These loans generally have an annual cap of 1% on any increase or decrease and a cap of 6% above or below the initial rate over the life of the
loan. Such loans are underwritten based on the initial rate plus 2%. At June 30, 2026, $55.320 million, or 33.69%, of our one-to-four family residential mortgage loans were adjustable rate loans.

Commercial Real Estate Secured Loans. As of June 30, 2026, loans secured by commercial real estate were $141.002
million, or 29.34% of the total loan portfolio, before net items. Of those loans, $91.240 million, or 64.71%, were owner occupied. It is the current policy of Home Federal Bank to lend in a first lien position on real property occupied as a
commercial business property. Home Federal Bank offers fixed and variable rate commercial real estate loans. Home Federal Bank’s commercial real estate loans are limited to a maximum of 85% of the appraised value and have terms up to 15 years,
however, the terms are generally no more than five years with amortization periods of 20 years or less. It is our policy that commercial real estate secured lines of credit are limited to a maximum of 85% of the appraised value of the property and
shall not exceed three to five year amortizations.

Multi-Family Residential Loans. As of June 30, 2026, multi-family residential loans were $30.641 million, or 6.38%, of the total loan portfolio, before
net items. Our multi-family residential loan portfolio includes income producing properties of five or more units and low income housing developments. We obtain personal guarantees on all properties other than those of the public housing authority
for which they are not permitted.

Commercial Business Loans. As of June 30, 2026, non-real estate secured commercial loans were $58.866 million, or 12.25%, of the total loan portfolio, before net items. The
business lending products we offer include lines of credit, inventory financing, and equipment loans. Commercial business loans and lines of credit carry more credit risk than other types of commercial loans. We attempt to limit such risk by
making loans predominantly to small- and mid-sized businesses located within our market area and having the loans personally guaranteed by the principals involved. We have established underwriting standards in regard to business loans which set
forth the criteria for sources of repayment, borrower’s capacity to repay, specific financial and collateral margins, and financial enhancements such as guarantees. The primary source of repayment is cash flow from the business and the general
financial strength of the borrower.

Land Loans. As of June 30, 2026, land loans were $34.825 million, or 7.25%, of the total loan portfolio, before net items. Land loans include land which has been acquired
for the purpose of development and unimproved land. Our loan policy provides for loan-to-value ratios of 50% for unimproved land loans. Land loans are originated with fixed rates and terms up to five years with longer amortizations. Although land
loans generally are considered to have greater credit risk than certain other types of loans, we expect to mitigate such risk by requiring personal guarantees and identifying other secondary sources of repayment for the land loan other than the
sale of the collateral. It is our practice to only originate a limited amount of loans for speculative development to borrowers with whom our lenders have a prior relationship.

Construction Loans. As of June 30, 2026, construction loans were $25.435 million, or 5.29%, of the total loan portfolio, before net items. These included loans for the
construction of residential and commercial property. Our residential construction loans typically have terms of six to twelve months with a takeout letter from Home Federal for the permanent mortgage. Our commercial construction loans include
owner occupied commercial properties, pre-sold property, and speculative office property. As of June 30, 2026, we held $1.030 million of speculative construction loans.

Home Equity and Second Mortgage Loans. As of June 30, 2026, home equity and second mortgage loans were $3.177 million, or 0.66%, of the total loan portfolio, before net
items. These loans are secured by the underlying equity in the borrower’s residence. We do not require that we hold the first mortgage on the properties that secure the second mortgage loans. The amount of our second mortgage loans generally
cannot exceed a loan-to-value ratio of 90% after taking into consideration the first mortgage loan. These loans are typically three-to-five year balloon loans with fixed rates and terms that will not exceed 10 years and contain an on-demand
clause that allows us to call the loan in at any time.

Equity Lines of Credit. As of June 30, 2026, lines of credit secured by a borrower’s equity in real estate were $21.657 million, or 4.51%, of the total loan portfolio,
before net items. The unused portion of equity lines was $14.911 million at June 30, 2026. The rates and terms of such lines of credit depend on the history and income of the borrower, purpose of the loan, and collateral. Lines of credit will
not exceed 90% of the value of the equity in the collateral.

Consumer Non-Real Estate Loans. We are authorized to make loans for a wide variety of personal or consumer purposes. We originate consumer loans primarily
in order to accommodate our customers. The consumer loans at June 30, 2026 consist of loans secured by deposit accounts with us, automobile loans, overdraft, and other unsecured loans.

Consumer non-real estate loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans and generally entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans,
particularly those loans secured by assets that depreciate rapidly, such as automobiles, boats, and recreational vehicles. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the
outstanding loan, and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In particular, amounts realizable on the sale of repossessed automobiles may be significantly reduced based upon the
condition of the automobiles and the fluctuating demand for used automobiles.

We offer loans secured by deposit accounts held with us. These loans amounted to $436,000, or 0.09% of the total loan portfolio, before net items, at June 30, 2026. Such loans are originated for
up to 100% of the account balance, with a hold placed on the account restricting the withdrawal of the account balance. The interest rate on the loan is equal to the interest rate paid on the account plus 2%. These loans typically are payable on
demand with a maturity date of one year.

Loan Origination and Other Fees. In addition to interest earned on loans, we generally receive loan origination fees or “points” for originating loans.
Loan points are a percentage of the principal amount of the mortgage loan and are charged to the borrower in connection with the origination of the loan. In accordance with accounting guidance, loan origination fees and points are deferred and
amortized into income as an adjustment of yield over the life of the loan.

Asset Quality

General. During fiscal 2026 our annual review commenced in August 2025 and was completed in October 2025. Our next annual review is tentatively scheduled
for March 2027. The scope of the services provided included testing of credit underwriting, adherence to our loan policies, as well as regulatory policies, and recommendations regarding reserve allocations. We expect these reviews will be done
roughly every twelve to eighteen months.

Our collection procedures provide that when a loan is 10 days past due personal contact efforts are attempted, either in person or by telephone. At 15 days past due, a late charge notice is sent
to the borrower requesting payment. If the loan is still past due at 30 days, a formal letter is sent to the borrower stating that the loan is past due and that legal action, including foreclosure proceedings, may be necessary. If a loan becomes 60
days past due and no progress has been made in resolving the delinquency, a collection letter from legal counsel is sent and personal contact is attempted. When a loan continues in a delinquent status for 90 days or more, and a repayment schedule
has not been made or kept by the borrower, generally a notice of intent to foreclose is sent to the borrower. If the delinquency is not cured, foreclosure proceedings are initiated. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly. While we generally
prefer to work with borrowers to resolve such problems, we will institute foreclosure or other collection proceedings, when necessary, to minimize any potential loss.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when management believes the probability of collection of interest is doubtful. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid
interest is deducted from interest income. We generally discontinue the accrual of interest income when the loan becomes 90 days past due, as to principal or interest, unless the credit is well secured and we believe we will fully collect.

Real estate and other assets we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure are classified as real estate owned until sold. At June 30, 2026, we had $613,000 in other real estate owned
consisting of one commercial real estate property and two residential lots compared to $970,000 of other real estate owned at June 30, 2025 consisting of one single family residence.

At June 30, 2026, the Company had $3.649 million of non-performing assets (defined as non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and other real estate owned) compared to $3.305
million of non-performing assets at June 30, 2025, consisting of sixteen one-to-four family residential loans, two home equity loans, one commercial non-real estate loan, one commercial

real-estate loan, one commercial real estate property in other real estate owned, and two residential lots in other real estate owned at June 30, 2026, compared to six one-to-four family residential loans, two home equity loans, three commercial
non-real estate loans, two commercial real estate loans and one single-family residence in other real estate owned at June 30, 2025.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations require that each insured savings institution classify its assets on a regular basis and the amount of its valuation
allowance is subject to review by Federal bank regulators. There are three classifications for problem assets: “substandard”, “doubtful”, and “loss”. Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct
possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss, if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation
in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values questionable, and there is a higher possibility of loss. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the
institution is not warranted. Another category designated “special mention” also must be established and maintained for assets which do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as
substandard, doubtful, or loss. Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset, or portion thereof, is classified as loss, the insured institution must either
establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge-off such amount. General loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified substandard or
doubtful may be included in determining an institution’s regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses do not qualify as regulatory capital. Federal examiners may disagree with an insured institution’s classifications and
amounts reserved. At June 30, 2026, we had $6.013 million in classified assets. At June 30, 2026 the Company had sixteen one-to-four family residential loans, two home equity loans, one commercial real estate loan, one commercial non-real estate
loan, and one consumer loan classified as substandard. There were no loans classified as doubtful or loss at June 30, 2026. There were four one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, three commercial non-real estate loans, two commercial real
estate loans, and two home equity loans designated as special mention at June 30, 2026.

Allowance for Credit Losses. At June 30, 2026, our allowance for credit losses amounted to $4.926 million. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from
the measurement of its allowance for credit losses. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any outstanding accrued interest is reversed against interest income. The allowance for credit losses for loans is an estimate of the expected losses
to be realized over the life of the loans in the portfolio. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and
supportable forecasts. Adjustments to historical loss information are made to incorporate our reasonable and supportable forecast of future losses at the portfolio segment level, as well as any necessary qualitative adjustments, including, but
not limited to, changes in current and expected future economic conditions, changes in industry experience and industry loan concentrations, changes in the volume and severity of nonperforming assets, changes in lending policies and personnel and
changes in the competitive and regulatory environment of the banking industry. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are individually evaluated and are excluded from the pooled loan analysis.

While management believes that it determines the size of the allowance based on the best information available at the time, the allowance will need to be adjusted as circumstances change and
assumptions are updated. Future adjustments to the allowance could significantly affect net income.

The following table shows changes in our allowance for credit losses during the periods presented. We had $256,000 and $323,000 of loan charge-offs during fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Bad debt recoveries amounted to $104,000 and $359,000 during fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Investment Securities

We have authority to invest in various types of securities, including mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies and of state and municipal
governments, certificates of deposit at federally insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers’ acceptances, and federal funds. Our investment strategy is established by the board of directors.

The following tables set forth the amortized cost of debt securities which contractually mature during each of the periods indicated and the weighted average yields for each range of maturities at June 30, 2026.
Weighted average yields are calculated using the book yield of each debt security, weighted by the security’s amortized cost within the applicable security category and maturity range. Book yield reflects the amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts. Yields on tax-exempt debt securities have not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis.

Mortgage-backed securities represent a participation interest in a pool of one-to-four family or multi-family mortgages. The mortgage originators use intermediaries (generally U.S. Government
agencies and government-sponsored enterprises) to pool and repackage the participation interests in the form of securities, with investors receiving the principal and interest payments on the mortgages. Such U.S. Government agencies and
government-sponsored enterprises guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors.

Mortgage-backed securities are typically issued with stated principal amounts, and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with interest rates that are within a range
and have varying maturities. The underlying pool of mortgages, i.e., fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, as well as prepayment risk, are passed on to the certificate holder. The life of a mortgage-backed
pass-through security approximates the life of the underlying mortgages.

Our mortgage-backed securities consist of Ginnie Mae securities (“GNMA”), Freddie Mac securities (“FHLMC”), and Fannie Mae securities (“FNMA”). Ginnie Mae is a government agency within the
Department of Housing and Urban Development, which is intended to help finance government-assisted housing programs. Ginnie Mae securities are backed by loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Veterans
Administration. The timely payment of principal and interest on Ginnie Mae securities is guaranteed by Ginnie Mae and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Freddie Mac is a private corporation chartered by the U.S.
Government. Freddie Mac issues participation certificates backed principally by conventional mortgage loans. Freddie Mac guarantees the timely payment of interest and the ultimate return of principal on participation certificates. Fannie Mae is a
private corporation chartered by the U.S. Congress with a mandate to establish a secondary market for mortgage loans. Fannie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on Fannie Mae securities. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. In September 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency was appointed as conservator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The U.S. Department of the Treasury agreed to provide
capital, as needed, to ensure that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to provide liquidity to the housing and mortgage markets.

Mortgage-backed securities generally yield less than the loans which underlie such securities because of their payment guarantees or credit enhancements, which offer nominal credit risk. In
addition, mortgage-backed securities are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize our borrowings or other obligations.

Our investment in equity securities consists primarily of FHLB stock and shares of First National Bankers Bankshares, Inc. (“FNBB”). Management monitors its investment portfolio to determine
whether any investment securities which have unrealized losses should be considered other than temporarily impaired.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits are our primary source of funds for lending and other investment purposes. In addition to deposits, principal and interest payments on
loans and investment securities are a source of funds. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions. Borrowings may
also be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources and on a longer-term basis for general business purposes.

Deposits. We attract deposits principally from residents of Louisiana and particularly from Caddo, Webster, and Bossier Parishes. Deposit account terms
vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must remain on deposit, and the interest rate. At June 30, 2026 and 2025, we had no balances in brokered deposits.

We establish interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees, and withdrawal penalties on a periodic basis. Management determines the rates and terms based on rates paid by competitors, the
need for funds or liquidity, growth goals, and federal regulations. We attempt to control the flow of deposits by pricing our accounts to remain generally competitive with other financial institutions in the market area.

The total amount of our uninsured deposits (deposits in excess of $250,000, as calculated in accordance with FDIC regulations) were $129.253 million and $114.722 million at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The following table shows the portion of our certificates of deposit in excess of the FDIC insurance limit (generally, $250,000) at June 30, 2026 by time remaining to maturity.

Borrowings. We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas upon the security of the common stock we own in that bank and certain of our
residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and other investment securities, provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. These advances are made pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has its own interest
rate and range of maturities. Federal Home Loan Bank advances are generally available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposit accounts and to permit increased lending.

As of June 30, 2026, we were permitted to borrow up to an aggregate total of $136.376 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. We had no Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding at
June 30, 2026 or June 30, 2025. Additionally, at June 30, 2026, Home Federal Bank was a party to a Master Purchase Agreement with First National Bankers Bank whereby Home Federal Bank may purchase Federal Funds from First National Bankers Bank in
an amount not to exceed $19.9 million. There were no amounts purchased under this agreement as of June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026, Home Federal Bancorp had a $3.556 million outstanding loan with First National Bankers Bank, which matures on
February 5, 2034. The loan is secured by Home Federal Bank’s common stock and bears interest at the Prime Rate, which is subject to change when adjustments are made to Wall Street Journal Prime.

Subsidiaries

At June 30, 2026, the Company had one subsidiary, Home Federal Bank. The Bank’s only subsidiary at such date was Metro Financial Services, Inc., which previously engaged in the sale of annuity
contracts and does not currently engage in a meaningful amount of business.

Employees

Home Federal Bank had 72 full-time employees and 4 part-time employees at June 30, 2026. None of these employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that we enjoy
good relations with our personnel.

REGULATION

Regulation of Home Federal Bancorp

Home Federal Bancorp, a Louisiana corporation, is a registered savings and loan holding company within the meaning of Section 10 of the Home Owners’ Loan Act and is subject to regulation,
examination and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board, as well as certain reporting requirements. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has enforcement authority over Home Federal Bancorp and its non-savings institution subsidiaries which
also permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to present a serious risk to Home Federal Bank.

Holding Company Activities. Home Federal Bancorp is a unitary savings and loan holding company under the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended. Federal law
generally prohibits a savings and loan holding company, without prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, from acquiring the ownership or control of any other savings institution or savings and loan holding company, or all, or substantially
all, of the assets, or more than 5% of the voting shares of the savings institution or savings and loan holding company. These provisions also prohibit, among other things, any director or officer of a savings and loan holding company, or any
individual who owns or controls more than 25% of the voting shares of such holding company, from acquiring control of any savings institution not a subsidiary of such savings and loan holding company, unless the acquisition is approved by the
Federal Reserve Board.

The Federal Reserve Board may not approve any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling a savings institutions in more than one state, subject to
two exceptions: (i) the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies and (ii) the acquisition of a savings institution in another state, if the laws of the state of the target savings institution
specifically permit such acquisitions. The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

In evaluating applications by savings and loan holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider the financial and managerial resources and future
prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the insurance funds, the convenience and needs of the community, competitive factors, and other factors. The Federal Reserve Board has long set forth
in its regulations its “source of strength” policy, which requires bank holding companies to act as a source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.
This policy now also applies to savings and loan holding companies.

The Federal Reserve Board has promulgated consolidated capital requirements for depository institution holding companies that are no less stringent, both quantitatively and in terms of
components of capital, than those applicable to their subsidiary depository institutions, including a community bank leverage ratio alternative. However, holding companies with less than $3.0 billion of consolidated assets, such as Home Federal
Bancorp, are generally not subject to consolidated capital requirements unless otherwise advised by the FRB.

The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends and the repurchase of shares of common stock by bank holding companies that is applicable to savings
and loan holding companies as well. In general, the policy provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the
organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory consultation with respect to capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where the company’s net income for
the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company’s overall rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall financial
condition. The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized. The policy statement also provides for regulatory consultation prior to a holding company redeeming or repurchasing
regulatory capital instruments when the holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses or redeeming or repurchasing common stock or perpetual preferred stock that would result in a net reduction as of the end of a quarter in the amount of
such equity instruments outstanding compared with the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption or repurchase occurred. These regulatory policies could affect the ability of Home Federal Bancorp to pay dividends, repurchase shares of
common stock or otherwise engage in capital distributions.

All savings institution subsidiaries of savings and loan holding companies like Home Federal Bank are required to meet a qualified thrift lender, or QTL, test to avoid certain restrictions on
their operations. If the subsidiary savings institution fails to meet the QTL, as discussed below, then the savings and loan holding company must register with the Federal Reserve Board as a bank holding company, unless the savings institution
requalifies as a QTL within one year thereafter.

Federal Securities Laws. Home Federal Bancorp registered its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 12(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Home Federal Bancorp is subject to the proxy and tender offer rules, insider trading reporting requirements and restrictions, and certain other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Regulation of Home Federal Bank

General. Home Federal Bank is subject to the regulation of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as its primary federal regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, as the insurer of its deposit accounts, and, to a limited extent, the Federal Reserve Board. Effective January 1, 2026, the OCC implemented a risk-based supervisory approach for community banks like Home Federal Bank that tailors
examination scope and frequency to a bank’s size, complexity and risk profile and is intended to reduce supervisory burden.

Insurance of Accounts. The deposits of Home Federal Bank are insured up to $250,000 per separately insured deposit ownership right or category by the Deposit Insurance Fund
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The FDIC has examination, reporting and enforcement authority over insured institutions and assesses deposit insurance
premiums based on risk. For insured institutions with less than $10 billion in total assets, assessments are generally based on financial measures and supervisory ratings, including measures derived from statistical modeling. The FDIC may
increase assessment rates, and a significant increase in deposit insurance premiums could adversely affect the Bank’s operating expenses and results of operations.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution, including Home Federal Bank, if it determines after a hearing that the
institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order, or any condition imposed by an agreement with the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital. If insurance of accounts is terminated, the
accounts at the institution at the time of the termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period of six months to two years, as determined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management is aware of no
existing circumstances which would result in termination of Home Federal Bank’s deposit insurance.

Regulatory Capital Regulations. Federally insured savings institutions are subject to minimum regulatory capital requirements established by the OCC. Qualifying community
banking organizations with less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets such as Home Federal Bank may elect to use the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (“CBLR”) framework in lieu of the generally applicable risk-based capital framework. Under
the CBLR framework, a qualifying institution that elects the framework is required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio greater than 8%, effective July 1, 2026. An institution that satisfies the applicable CBLR requirements is not required to
calculate or report the generally applicable risk-based capital ratios and is considered to have met the capital requirements for the “well-capitalized” category under the prompt corrective action framework.

A qualifying community banking organization such as Home Federal Bank may elect to use or discontinue use of the CBLR framework through its quarterly Call Report. Home Federal Bank intends to opt in to the CBLR
framework in its quarterly Call Report for the quarter ending September 30, 2026. An institution that elects the CBLR framework but subsequently fails to satisfy one or more of the qualifying criteria generally may continue to use the framework
during a four-quarter grace period, subject to applicable requirements, including maintaining a leverage ratio greater than 7%. An institution that does not satisfy the applicable CBLR requirements following the grace period, or that otherwise
ceases to qualify for the framework, must comply with the generally applicable regulatory capital requirements.

The CBLR framework provides a simplified alternative to the generally applicable risk-based capital framework. A qualifying community banking organization that elects to use the CBLR framework and satisfies its
applicable requirements is not required to calculate or report the generally applicable risk-based capital ratios and is considered to have met the capital ratio requirements for the “well-capitalized” category under the prompt corrective action
framework. Accordingly, the Bank’s compliance with the CBLR framework, rather than the generally applicable risk-based capital ratios and capital conservation buffer, is the primary measure of the Bank’s regulatory capital adequacy.

As of the date of this Form 10-K, Home Federal Bank’s Board of Directors and management have determined to elect to use the CBLR framework in its quarterly Call Report for the quarter ending September 30, 2026.
At June 30, 2026, Home Federal Bank exceeded each of its then applicable capital requirements with common equity tier 1, tier 1 capital, total capital, leverage, and tangible capital ratios of 13.11%, 13.11%, 14.20%, 9.29%, and 9.29%,
respectively. Accordingly, Home Federal Bank was considered well capitalized for purposes of the prompt corrective action regulations at such date.

Failure to maintain applicable capital requirements may result in regulatory actions by the OCC, including the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order, the imposition of civil money penalties, restrictions on the
institution’s operations, termination of federal deposit insurance, or the appointment of a conservator or receiver.

Prompt Corrective Action

Federal banking law establishes five capital categories for insured depository institutions under the prompt corrective action framework: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. An institution that elects to use the CBLR framework and satisfies the applicable CBLR requirements is considered to have met the capital ratio requirements for the “well-capitalized” category
under the prompt corrective action framework.

At June 30, 2026, Home Federal Bank was deemed a well-capitalized institution for purposes of the prompt corrective action regulations applicable as of such date. As a result, the Bank was not
subject to the restrictions applicable to institutions in the lower capital categories. See Note 16 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Capital Distributions. There are various restrictions on a bank’s ability to make capital distributions, including cash dividends, payments to
repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares and other distributions charged against capital. A savings institution that is the subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as Home Federal Bank, must file a notice with the FRB at least 30
days before making a capital distribution and receive the FRB’s nonobjection. Home Federal Bank must also file an application or notice for prior approval with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency if the total amount of its capital
distributions (including each proposed distribution), for the applicable calendar year would exceed Home Federal Bank’s net income for that year plus its retained net income for the previous two years, if Home Federal Bank is not an “eligible
savings association” as defined in Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulations or the capital distributions would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement.

Home Federal Bank may be prohibited from making capital distributions and its application or notice disapproved if (i) Home Federal Bank would be undercapitalized following the
distribution; (ii) the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or (iii) the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. Like all savings institutions, federal regulations require that Home Federal Bank comply with a Qualified Thrift Lender
test to avoid certain restrictions on its operations. Under this test, Home Federal Bank is required to maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets” in certain “qualified thrift investments” on a monthly basis in at least nine months of the
most recent twelve-month period. “Portfolio assets” means, in general, an institution’s total assets less the sum of (a) specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, (b) goodwill and other intangible assets and (c) the value of property
used to conduct the institution’s business. “Qualified thrift investments” include various types of loans made for residential and housing purposes, investments related to such purposes, including certain mortgage-backed and related securities
and consumer loans. If Home Federal Bank fails the QTL test, it must operate under certain restrictions on its activities and may be required to convert to a national bank. At June 30, 2026, Home Federal Bank believes it meets the QTL test.

Community Reinvestment Act. Home Federal Bank is subject to the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”), which require the
appropriate federal bank regulatory agency to assess a bank’s performance under the CRA in meeting the credit needs of the community serviced by Home Federal Bank, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The regulatory agency’s
assessment of Home Federal Bank’s record is made available to the public. Further, a bank’s CRA performance must be considered in connection with a bank’s application to, among other things, establish a new branch office that will accept
deposits, relocate an existing office or merge or consolidate with, or acquire the assets or assume the liabilities of, a federally regulated financial institution. An unsatisfactory rating may be the basis for denial of certain applications.
Home Federal Bank received a “satisfactory” rating during its most recent CRA examination.

On October 24, 2023, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the other federal banking agencies issued a final rule to strengthen and modernize the CRA regulations. The 2023 CRA final rule, however, did
not take effect due to pending litigation. On July 16, 2025, the banking regulators including the OCC issued a joint notice of proposed rulemaking to rescind the 2023 CRA final rule and replace it with the 1995/2021 regulation. The OCC continues
to assess a bank’s CRA performance under the OCC’s 1995/2021 CRA regulation and is not applying any provisions of the 2023 Final Rule

Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. Home Federal Bank’s authority to engage in transactions with its “affiliates” is limited by federal
regulations and by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. In general, these transactions must be on terms which are as favorable to Home Federal Bank as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. Additionally, certain types of these
transactions are restricted to an aggregate percentage of Home Federal Bank’s capital. Collateral in specified amounts must usually be provided by affiliates to receive loans from Home Federal Bank. In addition, Office of Comptroller of the
Currency regulations prohibit a savings bank from lending to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.

Home Federal Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers, and 10% shareholders (“insiders”), as well as to entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed
by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these provisions require that all loans or extensions of credit to insiders (a) be made on terms that
are substantially the same as and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or
present other unfavorable features and (b) not exceed certain limitations, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of the Home Federal Bank’s capital. In addition, extensions of credit in excess of
certain limits must be approved by the Home Federal Bank’s Board. At June 30, 2026, Home Federal was in compliance with the above restrictions.

Incentive Compensation. Federal banking agencies have issued guidance addressing incentive compensation arrangements to promote safety and soundness and discourage excessive
risk-taking. The guidance emphasizes that incentive compensation should be appropriately balanced with risk management, internal controls and effective corporate governance. Banking organizations may be subject to supervisory or enforcement
actions if their compensation practices create undue risks to safety and soundness.

On May 6, 2024, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approved a notice of proposed rule-making to implement section 956 of
the Dodd–Frank Act. The proposal would establish new requirements for incentive-based compensation at certain covered institutions. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency-supervised institutions that would be subject to the proposed rule
include national banks, federal savings associations, and federal branches and agencies, as well as these institutions’ subsidiaries (other than brokers, dealers, insurance providers, investment companies, and investment advisers), that offer
incentive-based compensation and have average total consolidated assets of at least $1 billion.

The proposed rule would prohibit incentive-based compensation arrangements that encourage inappropriate risks by a covered institution (1) by providing an executive officer, employee,
director, or principal shareholder of the covered institution with excessive compensation, fees, or benefits; or (2) that could lead to material financial loss to the covered financial institution. The proposed rule has not yet been finalized. No
assurance can be given as to whether or when this proposal will be adopted in final form or its impact on Home Federal Bank.

Regulation of Residential Mortgage Loan Originators. Under the final rule adopted by the federal bank regulatory authorities pursuant to the Secure and
Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008, residential mortgage loan originators employed by financial institutions, such as Home Federal Bank, must register with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry, obtain a unique
identifier from the registry, and maintain their registration. Any residential mortgage loan originator who fails to satisfy these requirements will not be permitted to originate residential mortgage loans.

Anti-Money Laundering. All financial institutions, including savings associations, are subject to federal laws that are designed to prevent the use of
the U.S. financial system to fund terrorist activities. Financial institutions operating in the United States must develop anti-money laundering compliance programs, due diligence policies, and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of
money laundering. Such compliance programs are intended to supplement compliance requirements, also applicable to financial institutions, under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulations. Home Federal Bank has
established policies and procedures to ensure compliance with these provisions.

Volcker Rule Regulations. The federal banking agencies have adopted regulations implementing the Volcker Rule, which generally restricts proprietary trading and certain
investments in, and relationships with, hedge funds and private equity funds. However, federal regulations exclude from the Volcker Rule restrictions community banks with $10 billion or less in total consolidated assets and total trading assets
and liabilities of five percent or less of total consolidated assets. Home Federal Bank qualifies for the exclusion from the Volcker Rule restrictions.

Privacy Standards and Cybersecurity. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 modernized the financial services industry by
establishing a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms and other financial service providers. Federal banking agencies, including the FDIC, have adopted guidelines for
establishing information security standards and cybersecurity programs for implementing safeguards under the supervision of the board of directors. These guidelines, along with related regulatory materials, increasingly focus on risk management
and processes related to information technology and the use of third parties in the provision of financial services. These regulations require Home Federal Bank to disclose its privacy policy, including informing consumers of its information
sharing practices and informing consumers of their rights to opt out of certain practices. In addition, Louisiana State and other federal and state cybersecurity and data privacy laws and regulations may expose Home Federal Bank to risk and
result in certain risk management costs. In addition, on November 18, 2021, the federal banking agencies announced the adoption of a final rule providing for new notification requirements for banking organizations and their service providers for
significant cybersecurity incidents. Specifically, the new rule requires a banking organization to notify its primary federal regulator as soon as possible, and no later than 36 hours after, the banking organization determines that a
“computer-security incident” rising to the level of a “notification incident” has occurred. Notification is required for incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the viability of a banking
organization’s operations, its ability to deliver banking products and services, or the stability of the financial sector. Service providers are required under the rule to notify affected banking organization customers as soon as possible when
the provider determines that it has experienced a computer-security incident that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the banking organization’s customers for four or more hours. Compliance with the new rule was
required by May 1, 2022. Non-compliance with federal or similar state privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations could lead to substantial regulatory imposed fines and penalties, damages from private causes of action and/or reputational harm.

On July 26, 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a final rule that requires registrants, such as Home Federal Bancorp, to (i) report material cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K, (ii) include
updated disclosure in Forms 10-K and 10-Q of previously disclosed cybersecurity incidents and disclose previously undisclosed individually immaterial incidents when a determination is made that they have become material on an aggregated basis,
(iii) disclose cybersecurity policies and procedures and governance practices, including at the board and management levels in Form 10-K, and (iv) disclose the board of directors’ cybersecurity expertise. An Item 1.05 Form 8-K will generally
be due four business days after a registrant determines that a cybersecurity incident is material. See Item 1C. Cybersecurity for annual disclosures herein.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. Home Federal Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, which is one of 11 regional Federal Home Loan Banks
that administer a home financing credit function primarily for its members. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas is funded primarily from
proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the
board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank. At June 30, 2026, Home Federal Bank had no advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and $136.376 million available on its credit line with the Federal Home
Loan Bank.

As a member, Home Federal Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. At June 30, 2026, Home Federal Bank had $705,000

in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which was in compliance with the applicable requirement.

The Federal Home Loan Banks are required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled savings institutions and to contribute to affordable housing programs through direct loans or interest
subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have adversely affected the level of Federal Home Loan Bank dividends paid in the past and could do so in the future. These
contributions also could have an adverse effect on the value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock in the future.

Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily
NOW and Super NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent effective May 26, 2020 to support lending to households and
businesses. The required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or an account at a Federal Reserve Bank. As of June 30, 2026, the reserve ratio requirement remained at zero percent and Home Federal Bank was not required to maintain
any reserve balance.

TAXATION

Federal Taxation

General. Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations with some
exceptions listed below. The following discussion of federal and state income taxation is only intended to summarize certain pertinent income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the applicable tax rules. Our tax returns have not
been audited during the past five years.

Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, Home Federal Bank reports income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and used a June
30 tax year in 2026 for filing its federal income tax return.

Taxable Distributions and Recapture. Prior to the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, bad debt reserves created prior to January 1, 1988 were
subject to recapture into taxable income if Home Federal Bank failed to meet certain thrift asset and definitional tests. The federal legislation eliminated these savings association related recapture rules. However, under current law, pre-1988
reserves remain subject to recapture should Home Federal Bank make certain non-dividend distributions or cease to maintain a bank charter.

At June 30, 2026, the total federal pre-1988 reserve was approximately $3.3 million. The reserve reflects the cumulative effects of federal tax deductions by Home Federal Bank for which no
federal income tax provisions have been made.

Corporate Dividends-Received Deduction. Home Federal Bancorp may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from Home Federal Bank as a member of
the same affiliated group of corporations. The corporate dividends received deduction is 65% in the case of dividends received from corporations which a corporate recipient owns less than 80% but at least 20% of the distribution corporation.
Corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct only 50 % of dividends received.

State and Local Taxation

Home Federal Bancorp is subject to Louisiana corporation income tax based on its Louisiana taxable income. For taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, including our fiscal year ended June 30, 2026,
Louisiana corporation income tax is imposed at a flat rate of 5.5%. For these purposes, “Louisiana taxable income” generally means net income derived from sources within the State of Louisiana, subject to the adjustments and deductions permitted
under Louisiana law. In addition, Home Federal Bank is subject to the Louisiana Shares Tax which is imposed on the assessed value of a company’s retained earnings and capital stock accounts. The formula for deriving the assessed value is to
calculate 15% of the sum of:

(a) 20% of Home Federal Bank’s capitalized earnings, plus

(b) 80% of Home Federal Bank’s taxable stockholders’ equity, minus

(c) 100% of Home Federal Bank’s real and personal property assessment. (1)

(1) For the 2025 property tax year, the deduction was 50% of the assessed value of such property. Effective January 1, 2026, the deduction increased to 100% for the 2026 property tax year and subsequent property
tax years.

Various items may also be subtracted in calculating a company’s capitalized earnings.
