NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Home Federal Bank ("Home Federal Bank" or the "Bank"). These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification" or the "ASC").

In accordance with the subsequent events topic of the ASC, the Company evaluates events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition in the financial statements. The effect of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements as of September 30, 2016. In preparing these financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued.

Use of Estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses.

Nature of Operations

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, a Louisiana corporation, is the fully public stock holding company for Home Federal Bank located in Shreveport, Louisiana. The Bank is a federally chartered, stock savings and loan association and is subject to federal regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Company is a savings and loan holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Services are provided to the Bank's customers by six full-service banking offices and one administrative office, located in Caddo and Bossier Parishes, Louisiana. The area served by the Bank is primarily the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area; however, loan and deposit customers are found dispersed in a wider geographical area covering much of northwest Louisiana. As of September 30, 2016, the Bank had one wholly-owned subsidiary, Metro Financial Services, Inc., which previously engaged in the sale of annuity contracts and does not currently engage in a meaningful amount of business.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from banks, and federal funds sold, all of which mature within ninety days.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)

Securities

The Company classifies its debt and equity investment securities into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. Investments in nonmarketable equity securities and debt securities, in which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity and marketable equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are classified as either trading or available-for-sale securities. Securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities. Investments in securities not classified as trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.

Trading account and available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings, while net unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Loans

Loans receivable are stated as unpaid principal balances less allowances for loan losses and unamortized deferred loan fees. Net nonrefundable fees (loan origination fees, commitment fees, discount points) and costs associated with lending activities are being deferred and subsequently amortized into income as an adjustment of yield on the related interest earning assets using the interest method. Interest income on contractual loans receivable is recognized on the accrual method. Unearned discount on property improvement and automobile loans is deferred and amortized on the interest method over the life of the loan.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. The evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the measurement of such impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows or the fair value of the collateral of the loan. If the present value of expected future cash flows or fair value of the collateral is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Bank will recognize the impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge against earnings.

An allowance is also established for uncollectible interest on loans classified as substandard. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received. When, in management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is back to normal, the loan is returned to accrual status.

It should be understood that estimates of future loan losses involve an exercise of judgment. While it is possible that in particular periods the Company may sustain losses which are substantial relative to the allowance for loan losses, it is the judgment of management that the allowance for loan losses reflected in the accompanying statements of condition is adequate to absorb possible losses in the existing loan portfolio.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held-for-sale and are transferred to other real estate owned at the lower of cost or current fair value minus estimated cost to sell as of the date of foreclosure. Cost is defined as the lower of the fair value of the property or the recorded investment in the loan. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Buildings and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Income Taxes

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary file a consolidated Federal income tax return on a fiscal year basis. Each entity pays its pro-rata share of income taxes in accordance with a written tax-sharing agreement.

The Company accounts for income taxes on the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the expected amount most likely to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income and recoverable taxes paid in prior years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Current taxes are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to taxable income to determine the amount of taxes receivable or payable.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes (continued)

While the Bank is exempt from Louisiana income tax, it is subject to the Louisiana Ad Valorem Tax, commonly referred to as the Louisiana Shares Tax, which is based on stockholders' equity and net income.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Stockholders' Equity

On January 1, 2015, the Louisiana Business Corporation Act (the Act) became effective. Under the provisions of the Act, there is no concept of "Treasury Shares". Rather, shares purchased by the Company constitute authorized but unissued shares. Under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 505-30, Treasury Stock, accounting for treasury stock shall conform to state law. Accordingly, the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 reflect this change. The cost of shares purchased by the Company has been allocated to Common Stock and Retained Earnings balances.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-13, Consolidation (Topic 810): Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity. The amendments of ASU 2014-13 allow for a reporting entity that consolidates a collateralized financing entity within the scope of the guidance to elect to measure the financial assets and the financial liabilities of that collateralized financing entity using the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the reporting entity should measure both the financial assets and the financial liabilities of that collateralized financing entity in its consolidated financial statements using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets and the fair value of the financial liabilities. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40). The amendments in this Update require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure, if the following conditions are met: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure, (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim, and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. This Update did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. The amendments of ASU 2015-01 eliminate from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company segregates loans into risk categories based on the pertinent information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans according to credit risk. Loans classified as substandard or identified as special mention are reviewed quarterly by management to evaluate the level of deterioration, improvement, and impairment, if any, as well as assign the appropriate risk category.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

3. Loans Receivable (continued)

Credit Quality Indicators (continued)

Loans excluded from the scope of the quarterly review process above are generally identified as pass credits until: (a) they become past due; (b) management becomes aware of deterioration in the credit worthiness of the borrower; or (c) the customer contacts the Company for a modification. In these circumstances, the loan is specifically evaluated for potential classification and the need to allocate reserves or charge-off. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention - Loans identified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss - This classification includes those loans which are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. Even though partial recovery may be possible in the future, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these basically worthless loans. Accordingly, these loans are charged-off before period end.

The following tables present the grading of loans, segregated by class of loans, as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016:

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when contractually due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays or payment shortfalls are generally not classified as impaired. On a case-by-case basis, management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls, taking into consideration all of the circumstances related to the loan, including: the length of the payment delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

On August 10, 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved the establishment of the Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement (the "2005 Recognition Plan") as an incentive to retain personnel of experience and ability in key positions. The aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to award under the 2005 Recognition Plan totaled 63,547 shares (as adjusted for the exchange ratio of 0.9110 on December 22, 2010). As the shares were acquired for the 2005 Recognition Plan, the purchase price of these shares was recorded as a contra equity account. As the shares are distributed, the contra equity account is reduced. The 2005 Recognition Plan terminated on June 8, 2015 and the remaining 564 shares vested on August 19, 2015.

On December 23, 2011, the shareholders of the Company approved the establishment of the Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana 2011 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement (the "2011 Recognition Plan", together with the 2005 Recognition Plan, the "Recognition Plan") as an incentive to retain personnel of experience and ability in key positions. The aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock available for award under the 2011 Recognition Plan totaled 77,808 shares, all of which were awarded as of September 30, 2016.

Recognition Plan shares are earned by recipients at a rate of 20% of the aggregate number of shares covered by the Recognition Plan award over five years. Generally, if the employment of an employee or service as a non-employee director is terminated prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of grant of Recognition Plan share award, the recipient shall forfeit the right to any shares subject to the award that have not been earned. In the case of death or disability of the recipient or a change in control of the Company, the Recognition Plan awards will be vested and shall be distributed as soon as practicable thereafter.

The cost associated with the 2005 Recognition Plan is based on a share price of $10.93 (as adjusted), which represents the market price of the Company's stock on the date on which the 2005 Recognition Plan shares were granted. The cost associated with the 2011 Recognition Plan is based on share prices of $14.70 and $18.92 on January 31, 2012 and July 31, 2014, respectively, which represents the fair market price of the Company's stock on the dates on which the 2011 Recognition Plan shares were granted. The cost of the Recognition Plan is being recognized over the five year vesting period. Compensation expense pertaining to the Recognition Plan was $58,000 and $59,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Stock Option Plan

On August 10, 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved the establishment of the Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana 2005 Stock Option Plan (the "2005 Option Plan") for the benefit of directors, officers, and other key employees. The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2005 Option Plan totaled 158,868 (as adjusted for the exchange ratio). Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted under the 2005 Option Plan. The 2005 Stock Option Plan terminated on June 8, 2015, however outstanding stock options will remain in effect for the remainder of their original ten year terms.

On December 23, 2011, the shareholders of the Company approved the establishment of the Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana 2011 Stock Option Plan (the "2011 Option Plan", together with the 2005 Option Plan, the "Option Plans") for the benefit of directors, officers, and other key employees. The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2011 Option Plan totaled 194,522, all of which were awarded as of September 30, 2016. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted under the 2011 Option Plan.

Under the Option Plan, the exercise price of each option cannot be less than the fair market value of the underlying common stock as of the date of the option grant, which was $10.82 (as adjusted), and the maximum term is ten years. As of August 18, 2015, all of the awards were either exercised or forfeited. On August 19, 2010 and July 31, 2014, the Company granted 21,616 options and 2,133 options, respectively, under the 2005 Option Plan that were previously forfeited (as adjusted for the conversion) at an exercise price of $10.93 and $18.92 per share, respectively. On January 31, 2012 and July 31, 2014, 165,344 options and 29,178 options, respectively, were granted to directors and employees at an exercise price of $14.70 and $18.92 per share, respectively, under the 2011 Option Plan. As of September 30, 2016 there were no stock options available for future grant under the 2005 Option Plan or the 2011 Option Plan.

Under the Option Plans, the exercise price of each option cannot be less than the fair market value of the underlying common stock as of the date of the option grant, and the maximum term is ten years. Incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options granted under the Option Plans become vested and exercisable at a rate of 20% per year over five years, commencing one year from the date of the grant, with an additional 20% vesting on each successive anniversary of the date the option was granted. No vesting shall occur after an employee's employment or service as a director is terminated. In the event of the death or disability of an employee or director or change in control of the Company, the unvested options shall become vested and exercisable. The Company accounts for the Option Plans under the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.

Incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options granted under the Option Plan become vested and exercisable at a rate of 20% per year over five years, commencing one year from the date of the grant, with an additional 20% vesting on each successive anniversary of the date the option was granted. No vesting shall occur after an employee's employment or service as a director is terminated. In the event of death or disability of an employee or director or change in control of the Company, the unvested options shall become vested and exercisable. The Company recognizes compensation expense during the vesting period based on the fair value of the option on the date of the grant. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, compensation expense charged to operations was $42,000 and $44,000, respectively.

Stock Incentive Plan

On November 12, 2014, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Company's 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan") for the benefit of employees and non-employee directors as an incentive to contribute to the success of the Company and reward employees for outstanding performance and the attainment of targeted goals. The Stock Incentive Plan covers a total of 150,000 shares, of which no more than 37,500 shares, or 25% of the plan, may be share rewards. The balance of the plan is reserved for stock option awards which would total 112,500 stock options, assuming all the share awards are issued. All incentive stock options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. On October 26, 2015, the Company granted a total of 34,500 plan share awards and 103,500 stock options to directors, officers, and other key employees vesting ratably over five years. The Stock Incentive Plan cost is recognized over the five year vesting period. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $66,000 in expenses related to the Stock Incentive Plan.

7. Related Party Transactions

Certain directors and executive officers were indebted to the Bank in the approximate aggregate amounts of $3.7 million and $3.8 million at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

8. Fair Value Disclosures

The following disclosure is made in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Financial instruments are defined as cash and contractual rights and obligations that require settlement, directly or indirectly, in cash. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values have been estimated using the present value of future cash flows or other valuation techniques. The results of these techniques are highly sensitive to the assumptions used, such as those concerning appropriate discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, which require considerable judgment. Accordingly, estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current settlement of the underlying financial instruments.

ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. These disclosures should not be interpreted as representing an aggregate measure of the underlying value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount approximates the fair value of cash and cash equivalents.

Securities to be Held-to-Maturity and Available-for-Sale

Fair values for investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities, are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying values of restricted or non-marketable equity securities approximate their fair values. The carrying amount of accrued investment income approximates its fair value.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale

Because these loans are normally disposed of within ninety days of origination, their carrying value closely approximates the fair value of such loans.

Loans Receivable

For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant changes in credit risk, fair value approximates the carrying value. Fair values for other loans are estimated using the discounted value of expected future cash flows. Interest rates used are those being offered currently for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair values for demand deposit accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, that is, their carrying amounts. Fair values for other deposit accounts are estimated using the discounted value of expected future cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar maturities.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank

The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximates their fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

8. Fair Value Disclosures (continued)

Off-Balance Sheet Credit-Related Instruments

Fair values for outstanding mortgage loan commitments to lend are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining term of the agreements, customer credit quality, and changes in lending rates.

The fair value of interest rate floors and caps contained in some loan servicing agreements and variable rate mortgage loan contracts are considered immaterial within the context of fair value disclosure requirements. Accordingly, no fair value estimate is provided for these instruments.

The carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments were as follows:

	September 30, 2016				June 30, 2016
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
	Value		Fair Value		Value		Fair Value

Off-Balance Sheet Items
Mortgage Loan Commitments		279		279		296		296

The estimated fair values presented above could be materially different than net realizable value and are only indicative of the individual financial instrument's fair value. Accordingly, these estimates should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Company taken as a whole.

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 affirms a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 was issued to establish a uniform definition of fair value. The definition of fair value is market-based as opposed to company-specific, and includes the following:

●	Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in either case, through an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date and establishes a framework for measuring fair value;

●	Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date;

●	Nullifies the guidance in EITF 02-3, which required the deferral of profit at inception of a transaction involving a derivative financial instrument in the absence of observable data supporting the valuation technique;

●	Eliminates large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets and requires consideration of the company's creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and

●	Expands disclosures about instruments that are measured at fair value.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

8. Fair Value Disclosures (continued)

The standard establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy favors the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

●	Level 1 – Fair value is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets in which the Company can participate.

●

Level 2 – Fair value is based upon (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly; (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or (d) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

●

Level 3 – Fair value is based upon inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which include the Company's own data. The Company's own data used to develop unobservable inputs are adjusted if information indicates that market participants would use different assumptions.

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used during the year ended September 30, 2016.

Fair values of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 are as follows:

	Fair Value Measurements Using:

The effect of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements as of September 30, 2016.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on the results of the Bank, which became a wholly owned subsidiary upon completion of the second-step conversion and reorganization of the Bank on December 22, 2010. The Bank's results of operations depend, to a large extent, on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and investment portfolios and the cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses and loan sale activities. Non-interest expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing and other expense. Our results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations, or government policies may materially impact our financial conditions and results of operations.

Home Federal Bank operates from its main office and an administrative office in Shreveport, Louisiana and five full service branch offices located in Shreveport and Bossier City, Louisiana. The Company's primary market area is the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area. The Company offers security brokerage and advisory services through a third party provider at its agency office, which also serves as the office for the commercial lending division and as a loan production office.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company has identified the calculation of the allowance for loan losses as a critical accounting policy, due to the higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. Provisions for loan losses are based upon management's periodic valuation and assessment of the overall loan portfolio and the underlying collateral, trends in non-performing loans, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level believed by management to represent all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The realization of our deferred tax assets principally depends upon our achieving projected future taxable income. We may change our judgments regarding future profitability due to future market conditions and other factors. We may adjust our deferred tax asset balances, if our judgments change.

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2016 to September 30, 2016

General

At September 30, 2016, total assets amounted to $389.5 million compared to $381.7 million at June 30, 2016, an increase of approximately $7.8 million, or 2.1%. The increase in assets was comprised primarily of increases in investment securities of $6.4 million, or 12.2%, from $52.5 million at June 30, 2016 to $58.9 million at September 30, 2016, loans held-for-sale of $3.1 million, or 25.7%, from $11.9 million at June 30, 2016 to $15.0 million at September 30, 2016, and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $1.5 million, or 31.7%, from $4.8 million at June 30, 2016 to $6.3 million at September 30, 2016. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in loans receivable, net of $3.2 million, or 1.1%, from $290.8 million at June 30, 2016 to $287.6 million at September 30, 2016.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2016 to September 30, 2016 (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.5 million, or 31.7%, from $4.8 million at June 30, 2016 to $6.3 million at September 30, 2016. The $1.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents was due in large part to normal fluctuations in cash balances.

Loans Receivable, Net

Loans receivable, net, decreased by $3.2 million, or 1.1%, to $287.6 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $290.8 million at June 30, 2016. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, our total loan originations amounted to $82.7 million compared to $56.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in loans receivable, net, was primarily due to decreases in multi-family residential loans of $5.2 million, residential construction loans of $4.8 million, and commercial business loans of $542,000, partially offset by increases in one- to four-family residential loans of $2.7 million, commercial real estate loans of $2.7 million, land loans of $1.9 million, home equity lines of credit of $297,000, and equity and second mortgage loans of $60,000.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans held-for-sale increased $3.1 million, or 25.7%, from $11.9 million at June 30, 2016 to $15.0 million at September 30, 2016. The increase in loans held-for-sale results primarily from an increase at September 30, 2016 in receivables from financial institutions purchasing the Company's loans held-for-sale and an increase in the origination volume during the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

Investment Securities

Investment securities amounted to $58.9 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $52.5 million at June 30, 2016, an increase of $6.4 million, or 12.2%. The increase in investment securities was primarily due to the purchase of mortgage backed securities to be held-to-maturity of $10.5 million, partially offset by principal payments on mortgage-backed securities of $3.8 million. The securities purchased during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 were designated as held-to-maturity in order to maintain liquidity levels.

Premises and Equipment, Net

Premises and equipment, net, decreased $306,000, or 2.5%, to $12.1 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $12.4 million at June 30, 2016, primarily due to the sale of real estate adjacent to the Bank's Viking Drive branch with a cost basis of $313,000.

Asset Quality

At September 30, 2016, the Company had $1.1 million of non-performing assets compared to $114,000 of non-performing assets at June 30, 2016 consisting of four single-family residential loans and one land loan at September 30, 2016 compared to two single family residential loans at June 30, 2016. We had $3.3 million of loans classified as substandard at September 30, 2016 consisting of three single-family residential loans in the amount of $502,000, one commercial real estate loan in the amount of $264,000, one land loan in the amount of $556,000, and nine commercial business loans to one borrower in the amount of $2.0 million compared to twelve loans in the aggregate amount of $2.4 million classified as substandard at June 30, 2016. The Company had no loans classified as doubtful at September 30, 2016 or June 30, 2016. Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2016, we became aware that the single borrower related to the nine commercial business loans in the aggregate amount of $2.0 million that were classified as substandard filed for Chapter 11 (reorganization) bankruptcy protection in October 2016. After quarter end September 30, 2016, all nine commercial business loans in the aggregate amount of $2.0 million to a single borrower were placed on non-accrual status. These loans were 47 days past due and designated as substandard at quarter-end. We are continuing to monitor these credits and presently believe that our allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2016 is adequate.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2016 to September 30, 2016 (continued)

Total Liabilities

Total liabilities increased $7.3 million, or 2.1%, from $338.3 million at June 30, 2016 to $345.6 million at September 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in total deposits of $11.5 million, or 4.0%, to $299.3 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $287.8 million at June 30, 2016, partially offset by a decrease in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas of $5.4 million, or 11.3%, to $42.3 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $47.7 million at June 30, 2016. The increase in deposits was primarily due to an $8.2 million, or 20.8%, increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits from $39.3 million at June 30, 2016 to $47.4 million at September 30, 2016, a $6.8 million, or 5.1%, increase in certificates of deposit from $132.5 million at June 30, 2016 to $139.3 million at September 30, 2016, and a $1.2 million, or 4.2%, increase in savings deposits from $29.0 million at June 30, 2016 to $30.3 million at September 30, 2016, partially offset by a decrease of $2.9 million, or 7.8%, in NOW accounts from $37.8 million at June 30, 2016 to $34.8 million at September 30, 2016, and a decrease of $1.8 million, or 3.6%, in money market deposits from $49.3 million at June 30, 2016 to $47.5 million at September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2016, the Company had $13.0 million in brokered deposits compared to $8.2 million at June 30, 2016. We purchased $5.8 million of new brokered deposits in September 2016 to replace some brokered deposits that had matured during the previous 12 months. The brokered certificates of deposit which have maturity dates greater than twelve months are callable by Home Federal Bank after twelve months pursuant to early redemption provisions.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity increased $581,000, or 1.3%, to $44.0 million at September 30, 2016 from $43.4 million at June 30, 2016. The primary reasons for the increase in shareholders' equity from June 30, 2016 were net income of $1.0 million, the vesting of restricted stock awards, stock options and the release of employee stock ownership plan shares totaling $162,000, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options of $39,000. These increases in shareholders' equity were partially offset by dividends paid totaling $177,000, acquisition of Company stock of $247,000, and a decrease in the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income of $198,000.

The Bank is required to meet minimum capital standards promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). At September 30, 2016, Home Federal Bank's regulatory capital was well in excess of the minimum capital requirements.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

General

Net income amounted to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $941,000 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $61,000, or 6.5%. The increase was primarily due to a $279,000, or 8.8%, increase in net interest income, and a $206,000, or 22.6%, increase in non-interest income, partially offset by an increase of $142,000, or 5.4%, in non-interest expense, a $235,000, or 361.5%, increase in provision for loan losses, and a $47,000, or 10.4%, increase in the provision for income tax expense for the 2016 period compared to the same period in 2015.

The increase in net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to an increase in total interest income, in addition to a decrease in the Company's cost of funds for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the prior year period. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases in compensation and benefit expense, occupancy and equipment expense, data processing expense, loan and collection expense, legal fees, and advertising, partially offset by a decrease in deposit insurance premiums.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $3.5 million, an increase of $279,000, or 8.8%, in comparison to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $250,000, or 6.5%, in total interest income, and a decrease of $29,000, or 4.3%, in the Company's cost of funds. The cost of funds from Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings increased $33,000, or 53.2%, compared to the prior year three month period while interest paid on deposits decreased $65,000, or 10.7%, compared to the prior year three month period. Interest paid on other borrowings increased $3,000 compared to the prior year three month period.

The Company's average interest rate spread was 3.60% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 3.45% for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The Company's net interest margin was 3.78% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 3.65% for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increases in net interest margin and average interest rate spread for the three month period are attributable primarily to a higher volume of average interest-earning assets and an increase of six basis points in the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets.

Provision for Losses on Loans

Based on an analysis of historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by Home Federal Bank, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to our market area, and other factors related to the collectability of Home Federal Bank's loan portfolio, a provision for loan losses of $300,000 was made during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to a $65,000 provision made during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The allowance for loan losses was $3.1 million, or 1.08% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2016 compared to $2.6 million, or 0.96% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2016, Home Federal Bank had five non-performing loans in the aggregate amount of $1.1 million and no other non-performing assets. At June 30, 2016, Home Federal had two non-performing loans in the amount of $114,000. There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be sufficient to cover losses on non-performing assets in the future. At both September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Bank had troubled debt restructurings involving nine commercial loan contracts to one borrower with a recorded investment of approximately $2.0 million.

Non-interest Income

Total non-interest income amounted to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $206,000, or 22.6%, compared to $912,000 for the same period in 2015. The increase was due to increases of $110,000 in gain on sale of real estate, $73,000 in gain on sale of loans, and $29,000 in service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by decreases of $3,000 in both other non-interest income and income on bank owned life insurance compared to the same period in 2015.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest expense increased $142,000, or 5.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the prior year period. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $68,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $25,000 in data processing expense, $16,000 in loan and collection expense, $15,000 in legal fees expense, $14,000 in compensation and benefits expense, $11,000 in advertising expense, $4,000 in franchise and bank shares expense, $2,000 in audit and examination fees, and $2,000 in other non-interest expense. The increases were partially offset by a decrease of $15,000 in deposit insurance premiums.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (continued)

The increase in occupancy and equipment expense was primarily due to our new branch location in North Shreveport that opened in May 2016. The increases in compensation and benefits expense were a result of normal compensation and benefits increases, including stock option and recognition and retention plan expense, and the hiring of additional commercial and residential loan officers. The aggregate compensation expense recognized by the Company for its Stock Option, Share Award, ESOP, and Recognition and Retention Plans amounted to $230,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $165,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

The Louisiana bank shares tax is assessed on the Bank's equity and earnings. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized franchise and bank shares tax expense of $95,000 compared to $91,000 for the same period in 2015.

Income Taxes

Income taxes amounted to $498,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.2%. Income taxes amounted to $451,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.4%. The increase in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the prior year period, is primarily the result of the effect of non-taxable income resulting in a 0.08% increase in rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, Yields Earned and Rates Paid. The following table shows for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin. Tax-exempt income and yields have not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis. All average balances are based on monthly balances. Management does not believe that the monthly averages differ significantly from what the daily averages would be.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Home Federal Bank maintains levels of liquid assets deemed adequate by management. The Bank adjusts its liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, repay its borrowings, and to fund loan commitments. Home Federal Bank also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.

Home Federal Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, loan sales and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Bank sets the interest rates on its deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, Home Federal Bank invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning accounts and other assets which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Home Federal Bank's deposit accounts with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas amounted to $82,000 at September 30, 2016.

A significant portion of Home Federal Bank's liquidity consists of securities classified as available-for-sale and cash and cash equivalents. Home Federal Bank's primary sources of cash are net income, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and increases in deposit accounts. If Home Federal Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas which provides an additional source of funds. At September 30, 2016, Home Federal Bank had $42.3 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and had $121.9 million in additional borrowing capacity. Additionally, at September 30, 2016, 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 $15.5 million. There were no amounts purchased under this agreement as of September 30, 2016.

At September 30, 2016, Home Federal Bank had outstanding loan commitments of $27.9 million to originate loans. At September 30, 2016, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $53.9 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In addition, the cost of such deposits could be significantly higher upon renewal in a rising interest rate environment. Home Federal Bank intends to utilize its high levels of liquidity to fund its lending activities. If additional funds are required to fund lending activities, Home Federal Bank intends to sell its securities classified as available-for-sale as needed.

At September 30, 2016, Home Federal Bank exceeded each of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible, common equity Tier 1, core, and risk-based capital ratios of 11.51%, 17.18%, 11.51%, and 18.40%, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At September 30, 2016, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than does the effect of inflation.
