     (d)  During the last five years, neither the MHC nor any of the
Insiders has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors).

     (e)  During the last five years, neither the Company nor any of the
Insiders has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such
laws.

     (f)  All of the Insiders are U.S. citizens.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     The Company was formed for the purpose of becoming the stock holding
company of Home Federal Savings and Loan Association, a federally chartered
savings association (the "Association"), Shreveport, Louisiana; and the MHC
was formed for the purpose of becoming the mutual holding company parent of
the Company.  Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization from Mutual Savings
Association to Mutual Holding Company (the "Plan of Reorganization") and a
related Plan of Stock Issuance ("Plan of Stock Issuance"), effective January
18, 2005, the Association became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
which became a majority owned subsidiary of the MHC (the "Mutual Holding
Company Reorganization").  On January 18, 2005, 2,135,375 shares of Common
Stock were issued to the MHC at no cost to the MHC.  In addition, on January
18, 2005, certain Insiders purchased shares of Common Stock using their
personal funds.  All shares purchased by Insiders were purchased at a price of
$10.00 per share.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

     The primary purpose of the transaction was to reorganize the Association
into the mutual holding company form of organization. The mutual holding
company structure permitted the Company to sell capital stock, which is a
source of capital not available to a mutual savings association.  The
transaction also gives the Association and the Company greater flexibility to
structure and finance the expansion of operations and to diversity into other
financial services.  Because the Company only issued a minority of the Common
Stock for sale to the public in the Mutual Holding Company Reorganization, the
Association's mutual form of ownership and its ability to remain an
independent savings association and to provide community-related financial
services is expected to be preserved.

     While the MHC and Insiders intend to exercise their rights as
stockholders, neither the MHC nor the Insiders currently has any plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any
person of additional securities of the Company or the disposition of
securities of

the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its
subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of
directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to
change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on
the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Company's business
or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company's charter or bylaws or
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing a class of
securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange
or to cease to be authorized or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of
a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities
of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to
Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of
those enumerated above.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     (a)  As of January 18, 2005, the MHC directly and beneficially owned
2,135,375 shares of the Company's Common Stock, which represented 60.0% of the
