Members of the Board of Directors:

We have completed and hereby provide an updated appraisal of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock which is to be issued in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion described below.

This updated appraisal is furnished pursuant to the conversion regulations promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). Specifically, this Appraisal has been prepared in accordance with the “Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization” as set forth by the OTS, and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof. Our original appraisal report, dated May 16, 2008 (the “Original Appraisal”) is incorporated herein by reference. As in the preparation of our Original Appraisal, we believe the data and information used herein is reliable; however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information.

The Board of Directors of Home Bank, Lafayette, Louisiana (“Home Bank” or the “Bank”) adopted the plan of conversion on April 3, 2008, pursuant to which the Bank will convert from a federally-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered stock savings bank and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Home Bancorp, Inc. (“Home Bancorp” or the “Company”), a newly formed Louisiana corporation. Home Bancorp will offer 100% of its common stock in a subscription offering to Eligible Account Holders, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”), Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members, as such terms are define for purposes of applicable federal regulatory guidelines governing mutual-to-stock conversions. To the extent that shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions received in the subscription offering, the shares may be offered for sale to members of the general public in a community offering and/or a syndicated community offering. Going forward, Home Bancorp will own 100% of the Bank’s stock, and the Bank will initially be Home Bancorp’s sole subsidiary. A portion of the net proceeds received from the sale of the common stock will be used to purchase all of the then to be issued and outstanding capital stock of the Bank and the balance of the net proceeds will be retained by the Company.

This updated appraisal reflects the following noteworthy items: (1) a review of recent developments in Home Bank’s financial condition, including financial data through June 30, 2008; (2) an updated comparison of Home Bank’s financial condition and operating results versus the Peer Group companies identified in the Original Appraisal; and (3) a review of stock market conditions since the date of the Original Appraisal.

The estimated pro forma market value is defined as the price at which Home Bancorp’s common stock, immediately upon completion of the public stock offering, would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.

Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the common stock. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares of common stock in the conversion will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market value thereof. RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits the company, its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions.

Discussion of Relevant Considerations

1. Financial Results

Table 1 presents summary balance sheet and income statement details for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 and updated financial information through June 30, 2008. Home Bank’s assets increased by $18.0 million or 4.2% from March 31, 2008 to June 30, 2008. Cash and investments provided the primary source of asset growth during the second quarter, with cash invested at other ATM locations constituting the largest source of cash and investment growth. Cash and investments (inclusive of FHLB stock) increased from 102.3 million or 23.8% of assets at March 31, 2008 to $113.8 million or 25.4% of assets at June 30, 2008. Loans receivable increased from $305.8 million or 71.1% of assets at March 31, 2008 to $312.8 million or 69.8% of assets at June 30, 2008, while the balances for bank-owned life insurance and loans held for sale showed a nominal increase and a nominal decrease, respectively, during the second quarter.

Updated credit quality measures remained favorable, as non-performing assets decreased from $1.4 million or 0.31% of assets at March 31, 2008 to $836,000 or 0.19% of assets at June 30, 2008. The decrease in non-performing assets was

largely realized through a decrease in non-performing loans, which decreased from $1.3 million at March 31, 2008 to $787,000 at June 30, 2008.

Asset growth was primarily funded with increased utilization of FHLB advances, which increased from $23.4 million or 5.4% of assets at March 31, 2008 to $38.9 million or 8.7% of assets at June 30, 2008. Deposit growth was modest during the second quarter, with total deposits increasing from $352.1 million or 81.9% of assets at March 31, 2008 to $355.8 million or 79.4% of assets at June 30, 2008. Home Bank’s equity decreased from $51.4 million to $50.6 million during the second quarter, as retained earnings were more than offset by a reduction in the net unrealized gain on available for sale investments. Asset growth combined with the slight reduction in capital growth provided for a decrease in the equity-to-assets ratio from 11.9% at March 31, 2008 to 11.3% at June 30, 2008.

Home Bank’s operating results for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 are also set forth in Table 1. The Bank’s reported earnings increased from $3.4 million or 0.81% of average assets for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 to $3.5 million or 0.83% of average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in net income was largely due to increases in net interest income and non-interest operating income, which were somewhat offset by higher operating expenses.

Home Bank’s net interest income to average assets ratio increased from 3.65% during the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 to 3.68% during the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The slight increase in the net interest income ratio was supported by a wider yield-cost spread for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to the year ago quarter, which was realized through a more significant decline in the Bank’s average rate on interest-bearing liabilities relative to the decline in the average yield on interest-earning assets. Overall, the Bank’s interest rate spread increased from 3.59% during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 to 3.79% during the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Higher operating expenses translated into a slightly higher operating expense ratio during the most recent twelve month period, as Home Bank’s operating expense to average assets ratio increased from 3.24% during the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 to 3.27% during the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. Overall, Home Bank’s slightly higher ratios for net interest income and operating expenses provided for no change in the expense coverage ratio (net interest income divided by operating expenses). Home Bank’s expense coverage ratio equaled 1.13x for both the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.

Non-interest operating income was also higher during the most recent twelve month period and increased from 0.73% of average assets for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 to 0.78% of average assets for the twelve months ended June

30, 2008. Overall, when factoring non-interest operating income into core earnings, the Bank’s updated efficiency ratio of 73.3% (operating expenses, net of goodwill amortization, as a percent of net interest income and non-interest operating income) was little changed from the 74.0% efficiency ratio recorded for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008.

Loan sale gains and losses on the sale of real estate owned were both slightly higher during the most recent twelve month period, but as a percent of average assets remained stable at 0.08% and 0.00%, respectively.

Loan loss provisions were slightly higher during the most recent twelve month period and as a percent of average assets increased from 0.08% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 to 0.09% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The slightly higher loan loss provisions established during the most recent twelve month period was largely in connection with the loan growth recorded during the quarter. As of June 30, 2008, the Bank maintained valuation allowances of $2.4 million, equal to 302.2% of non-performing loans.

The Bank’s effective tax rate equaled 29.51% and 29.75% during the twelve month periods ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. As set forth in the Original Appraisal, the Bank’s marginal effective statutory tax rate approximates 34.0%.

2. Peer Group Financial Comparisons

Tables 2 and 3 present the financial characteristics and operating results for Home Bank, the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts. The Bank’s and the Peer Group’s ratios are based on financial results through June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively.

In general, the comparative balance sheet ratios for the Bank and the Peer Group did not vary significantly from the ratios exhibited in the Original Appraisal. Consistent with the Original Appraisal, the Bank’s updated interest-earning asset composition reflected a slightly lower concentration of loans and a slightly higher concentration of cash and investments. Overall, the Bank continued to maintain a slightly higher level of interest-earning assets than the Peer Group, as updated interest-earning assets-to-assets ratios equaled 95.3% and 94.2% for the Bank and the Peer Group, respectively.

The updated mix of deposits and borrowings maintained by Home Bank and the Peer Group also did not change significantly from the Original Appraisal. Home Bank’s funding composition continued to reflect a higher concentration of deposits and a lower concentration of borrowings, relative to the comparable Peer Group measures. Updated interest-bearing liabilities-to-assets ratios equaled 88.1% and 86.6% for the

Bank and the Peer Group, respectively. Home Bank posted an updated tangible equity-to-assets ratio of 11.3%, which remained below the comparable Peer Group ratio of 12.6%. Overall, Home Bank’s updated interest-earning assets-to-interest-bearing liabilities (“IEA/IBL”) ratio equaled 108.2%, which remained similar to the comparable Peer Group ratio of 108.8%. As discussed in the Original Appraisal, the additional capital realized from stock proceeds should serve to increase Home Bank’s IEA/IBL ratio, as the level of interest-bearing liabilities funding assets will be lower due to the increase in capital realized from the offering and the net proceeds realized from the offering will be primarily deployed into interest-earning assets.

Updated growth rates for Home Bank are based on annualized growth rates for the 18 months ended June 30, 2008, while the Peer Group’s growth rates are based on growth for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008. Home Bank’s updated asset growth rate of 7.8% exceeded the Peer Group’s asset growth rate of 4.80%. Asset growth for the Bank and the Peer Group was primarily sustained by loan growth. Home Bank’s also had growth of cash and investments, while cash and investments declined for the Peer Group.

Asset growth for the Bank was primarily funded through borrowings, while deposit growth funded the Peer Group’s asset growth as well as a reduction in borrowings. The Peer Group’s deposit growth rate of 3.8% was slightly above the Bank’s deposit growth rate of 1.8%. Updated tangible net worth growth rates continued to reflect a stronger growth rate for the Bank (6.8% increase versus a 0.2% decrease for the Peer Group). The Peer Group’s capital growth rate continued to be depressed relative to the Bank’s capital growth rate by such factors as maintaining a high level of capital, earning a lower return on average assets and payment of cash dividends.

Table 3 displays comparative operating results for Home Bank and the Peer Group, based on their respective earnings for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008. Updated earnings for the Bank and the Peer Group equaled 0.83% and 0.65% of average assets, respectively. The Bank’s higher return continued to be primarily realized through its higher level of net interest income, which continued to be partially offset by the Peer Group’s lower level of operating expenses.

In terms of core earnings strength, updated expense coverage ratios posted by Home Bank and the Peer Group both equaled 1.13x which was consistent with the Original Appraisal. Home Bank’s higher net interest income ratio was realized through maintenance of a lower interest expense ratio, which was partially offset by the Peer Group’s higher interest income ratio.

Non-interest operating income remained a similar contributor to the Bank’s and the Peer Group’s earnings, as such income amounted to 0.78% and 0.74% of the Bank’s and the Peer Group’s average assets, respectively. Accordingly, taking non-interest operating income into account in assessing Home Bank’s core earnings

strength relative to the Peer Group’s, the Bank’s updated efficiency ratio of 73.3% remained comparable to the Peer Group’s efficiency ratio of 70.7%. Net gains continued to be a fairly nominal factor in the Bank’s and the Peer Group’s earnings.

Loan loss provisions remained a slightly larger factor in the Peer Group’s earnings, with loan loss provisions established by the Bank and the Peer Group equaling 0.09% and 0.18% of average assets, respectively.

Consistent with the Original Appraisal, the Bank maintained a slightly lower effective tax rate than the Peer Group. Updated effective tax rates for the Bank and the Peer Group equaled 29.75% and 32.34%, respectively.

The Bank’s updated credit quality measures continued to be viewed as more favorable than the Peer Group’s measures. As shown in Table 4, the Bank’s non-performing assets/assets and non-performing loans/loans ratios of 0.19% and 0.25%, respectively, were below the comparable Peer Group ratios of 1.72% and 1.88%. The Bank’s updated reserve coverage ratios continued to indicate a higher level of reserves as a percent of non-performing loans (302.2% versus 148.0% for the Peer Group) and a lower level of reserves as a percent of loans (0.76% versus 1.11% for the Peer Group). Net loan charge-offs remained a more significant factor for the Peer Group, with net loan charge-offs as a percent of loans equal to 0.03% for the Bank and 0.17% for Peer Group.

3. Stock Market Conditions

Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the broader stock market has exhibited a fair amount of volatility and, in general, has declined. Soaring oil prices and growing concerns about inflation triggered a sell-off in the broader stock market heading into the second half of May 2008. The downward trend in stocks continued through the end of May and into-early June amid concerns about more credit-related losses forecasted for the financial sector. Following a one day rebound on surprisingly strong retail sales data for May, a spike in the May unemployment rate accelerated the early-June slide in stocks. Led by a decline in financial shares, the downward trend in stocks prevailed through most of June. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (“DJIA”) hit a 2008 low in late-June, as stocks plunged following downgrades of brokerage and automotive stocks and a jump in oil prices. Selling pressure in the broader market continued into the first half of July, as financial stocks led the downturn on worries about earnings and the economy. For the first time in two years, the DJIA closed below 11000 in mid-July as bank stocks led the market lower following the takeover of IndyMac Bancorp by the FDIC. Led by a rally in financial stocks, stocks rebounded heading into the second half of July. Better-than-expected earnings by some of the major banks and a drop in oil prices below a $130 a barrel were noteworthy contributors to the rally. On July 18, 2008, the DJIA closed at 111496.57 or 11.5% lower since the date of the Original

Appraisal and the NASDAQ closed at 2282.78 or 9.7% lower since the date of the Original Appraisal.

Thrift stocks generally experienced further deterioration since the date of the Original Appraisal. Thrift stocks edged higher along with the broader stock market heading into mid-May 2008, which was followed by a slight pullback on inflation worries, higher oil prices and more weak data coming from the housing sector. In late-May and early-June, thrift shares settled into a narrow trading range and then sold off along with the broader stock market on news of the spike in the May unemployment rate. Thrift prices deteriorated further heading into mid-June on concerns of mounting credit-related losses as mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures continued to surpass record levels. Following a mild rebound in mid-June, thrift shares tumbled lower at the end of the second quarter as financial shares were pummeled by downgrades by Wall Street analysts and second quarter profit worries. The downturn in thrift stocks continued in early-July, with projected second quarter losses becoming more widespread among thrift stocks. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac dropped to their lowest levels in more than 14 years, as concerns grew about their capital positions. Thrift stocks rallied strongly on comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman that outlined measures to shore up mortgage lending and help markets operate smoothly, but the one-day rally was quickly wiped out by fears about bank stability and the future of the mortgage market heading into mid-July. Most notably, the sell-off in thrift shares was fueled by the failure of IndyMac Bancorp and growing concerns about the solvency of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The sell-off was followed by a sharp rebound in thrift stocks, as some major banks posted better-than-expected earnings and Freddie Mac considered a major stock sale that would have the potential to avoid implementation of a government rescue plan. On July 18, 2008, the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts closed at 871.7, a decrease of 10.9% since May 16, 2008.

Consistent with SNL Index, the updated pricing measures for the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts were generally lower compared to the Original Appraisal. In general, the declines in the Peer Group’s updated pricing measures were not as significant in comparison to the update pricing measures for all publicly-traded thrifts. The increase in the Peer Group’s core P/E multiple was the result of two of the companies going from not meaningful core P/E multiples in the Original Appraisal to relatively high core P/E multiples based on July 18, 2008 closing prices. In comparison to the averages for all publicly-traded thrifts, the Peer Group’s updated pricing measures reflected comparable P/E multiples and lower P/B ratios particularly with respect to the P/TB ratio. Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the stock prices of all ten of the Peer Group companies were lower as of July 18, 2008. A comparative pricing analysis of the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts is shown in the following table, based on market prices as of May 16, 2008 and July 18, 2008.

(1) May 16, 2008 data included publicly-traded MHCs, which have been excluded from the July 18, 2008 data.

As set forth in the Original Appraisal, the “new issue” market is separate and distinct from the market for seasoned issues like the Peer Group companies in that the pricing ratios for converting issues are computed on a pro forma basis, specifically: (1) the numerator and denominator are both impacted by the conversion offering amount, unlike existing stock issues in which price change affects only the numerator; and (2) the pro forma pricing ratio incorporates assumptions regarding source and use of proceeds, effective tax rates, stock plan purchases, etc. which impact pro forma financials, whereas pricing for existing issues are based on reported financials. The distinction between the pricing of converting and existing issues is perhaps most evident in the case of the price/book (“P/B”) ratio in that the P/B ratio of a converting thrift will typically result in a discount to book value, whereas in the current market for existing thrifts the P/B ratio often reflects a premium to book value. Therefore, it is appropriate to also consider the market for new issues, both at the time of the conversion and in the aftermarket.

In general, the difficult market environment for the overall thrift market has filtered into the new issue market as well. As shown in Table 5, the only conversion offering completed during the past three months was Malvern Federal’s mutual holding company offering. Malvern Federal’s offering closed at the maximum of the valuation range following resolicitation of an under subscribed offering at a lower valuation range.

Summary of Adjustments

In the Original Appraisal, we made the following adjustments to Home Bank’s pro forma value based upon our comparative analysis to the Peer Group:

 

Key Valuation Parameters:

   No Adjustment

The factors concerning the valuation parameters of primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the shares, management and effect of government regulations and regulatory reform did not change since the Original Appraisal. Accordingly, those parameters were not discussed further in this update.

In terms of financial condition, a slight upward adjustment remained appropriate as there were no significant changes in the Bank’s and the Peer Group’s respective balance sheet ratios. A slight upward adjustment remained appropriate for asset growth as well, based on the Bank’s slightly higher historical asset growth rate that was sustained by loan growth and on a pro forma basis the Bank’s leverage capacity will be greater than the Peer Group’s. A slight upward adjustment also remained appropriate for earnings, as the relative earnings adjustments for the Bank’s updated earnings did not change from the Original Appraisal

The general market for thrift stocks deteriorated further since the date of the Original appraisal, as indicated by the decrease recorded in the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts. The updated pricing measures for the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts were lower as well compared to the Original Appraisal. Recent thrift offerings have in general encountered a more difficult selling environment, with a number of offerings having to be extended beyond the subscription period to be

completed. In some cases, offerings have not been successfully completed due to orders falling well short of the minimum of their offering ranges. The most recent completed conversion offering was Malvern Federal’s MHC offering, which required a resolicitation at a lower valuation range. Accordingly, taking into account the market performance of all-publicly traded thrifts, the Peer Group and recent conversions since the date of the Original Appraisal, a downward adjustment has been applied for marketing of the issue.

Overall, taking into account the foregoing factors, we believe that a decrease in the Bank’s estimated pro market value as set forth in the Original Appraisal is appropriate.

Valuation Approaches

In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the regulatory agencies, i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing ratios in valuing Home Bank’s to-be-issued stock — price/earnings (“P/E”), price/book (“P/B”), and price/assets (“P/A”) approaches — all performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of the conversion proceeds.

In computing the pro forma impact of the conversion and the related pricing ratios, the valuation parameters utilized in the Original Appraisal did not change in this update.

Consistent with the Original Appraisal, this updated appraisal continues to be based primarily on fundamental analysis techniques applied to the Peer Group, including the P/E approach, the P/B approach and the P/A approach. Also consistent with the Original Appraisal, this updated appraisal incorporates a “technical” analysis of recently completed conversion and MHC offerings, including principally the P/B approach which (as discussed in the Original Appraisal) is the most meaningful pricing ratio as the pro forma P/E ratios reflect an assumed reinvestment rate and do not yet reflect the actual use of proceeds.

The Bank will adopt Statement of Position (“SOP” 93-6) which will cause earnings per share computations to be based on shares issued and outstanding excluding shares owned by an ESOP where there is not a commitment to release such shares. For the purpose of preparing the pro forma pricing tables and exhibits, we have reflected all shares issued in the offering including shares purchased by the ESOP as outstanding to capture the full dilutive impact of such stock to the Bank’s shareholders. However, we have considered the impact of the Bank’s adoption of SOP 93-6 in the determination of pro forma market value.

Based on the foregoing, we have concluded that a decrease in Home Bank’s value is appropriate. Accordingly, RP Financial concluded that as of July 18,

2008, the pro forma market value of the Bank’s conversion offering equaled $67,500,000 at the midpoint, equal to 6,750,000 shares at $10.00 per share.

1. P/E Approach. In applying the P/E approach, RP Financial’s valuation conclusions considered both reported earnings and a recurring or “core” earnings base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude any one time non-operating and extraordinary items, plus the estimated after tax-earnings benefit from reinvestment of net stock proceeds. The Bank’s reported earnings equaled $3.516 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. In deriving Home Bank’s core earnings, the only adjustments made to reported earnings were to eliminate net gains on the sale of loans and the loss on sale of real estate owned, which equaled $328,000 and $8,000, respectively, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. As shown below, on a tax effected basis, assuming an effective marginal tax rate of 34.0% for the earnings adjustments, the Bank’s core earnings were determined to equal $3.305 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. (Note: see Exhibit 2 for the adjustments applied to the Peer Group’s earnings in the calculation of core earnings).

(1) Tax effected at 34.0%.

Based on Home Bank’s reported and estimated core earnings, and incorporating the impact of the pro forma assumptions, the Bank’s reported and core P/E multiples at the $67.5 million midpoint value equaled 19.24 times and 20.47 times, respectively. The Bank’s updated reported and core P/E multiples provided for premiums of 8.9% and 7.9% relative to the Peer Group’s average reported and core P/E multiples of 17.66 times and 18.98 times, respectively (versus premiums of 20.1% and 38.7% relative to the Peer Group’s average reported and core P/E multiples as indicated in the Original Appraisal). In comparison to the Peer Group’s median reported and core earnings multiples of 13.15 times and 14.01 times, respectively, the Bank’s pro forma reported and core P/E multiples at the $67.5 million midpoint value indicated premiums of 46.3% and 46.1% (versus premiums of 33.9% and 71.9% relative to the Peer Group’s median reported and core P/E multiples as indicated in the Original Appraisal). The Bank’s implied conversion pricing ratios relative to the Peer Group’s pricing ratios are indicated in Table 5, and the pro forma calculations are detailed in Exhibits 3 and 4.

2. P/B Approach. P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark in the valuation of thrift stocks, with the greater determinant of long term value being

earnings. In applying the P/B approach, we considered both reported book value and tangible book value. Based on the $67.5 million midpoint value, the Bank’s P/B and P/TB ratios both equaled 62.31%. In comparison to the average P/B and P/TB ratios indicated for the Peer Group of 78.50% and 81.84%, respectively, Home Bank’s updated ratios were discounted by 20.6% and 23.9% (versus discounts of 29.0% and 31.7% from the average Peer Group’s P/B and P/TB ratios as indicated in the Original Appraisal). In comparison to the median P/B and P/TB ratios indicated for the Peer Group of 78.44% and 82.93%, respectively, Home Bank’s updated ratios were discounted by 20.6% and 24.9% (versus discounts of 24.5% and 32.1% from the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios as indicated in the Original Appraisal). At the top of the super range, the Bank’s P/B and P/TB ratios both equaled 70.13%. In comparison to the Peer Group’s average P/B and P/TB ratios, the Bank’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the top of the super range reflected discounts of 10.7% and 14.3%, respectively (versus discounts of 20.6% and 23.5% as indicated in the Original Appraisal). In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios, the Bank’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the top of the super range reflect discounts of 10.6% and 15.4%, respectively (versus discounts of 15.5% and 24.1% as indicated in the Original Appraisal). RP Financial considered the discounts under the P/B approach to be reasonable, given the nature of the calculation of the P/B ratio which mathematically results in a ratio discounted to book value and the resulting premium pricing ratios indicated under the earnings approach.

In addition to the fundamental analysis applied to the Peer Group, RP Financial utilized a technical analysis of recent mutual holding company offerings. As indicated in the Original Appraisal, the pricing characteristics of recent conversion company offerings are not the primary determinate of value. Consistent with the Original Appraisal, particular focus was placed on the P/TB approach in this analysis, since the P/E multiples do not reflect the actual impact of reinvestment and the source of the conversion funds (i.e., external funds versus deposit withdrawals). Malvern Federal’s mutual holding company offering was the only conversion offering completed during the past three months. In comparison to Malvern Federal’s closing fully-converted P/TB ratio of 63.7%, Home Bank’s P/TB ratio of 62.3% at the midpoint value reflects an implied discount of 2.2% and at the top of the super range reflects an implied premium of 10.0%. The most recent standard conversion offering completed, which did not include a simultaneous acquisition, was completed by Danvers Bancorp of Massachusetts on January 10, 2008. Danvers Bancorp’s closing P/TB was 82.3%. In comparison to Danvers Bancorp’s closing pro forma P/TB ratio, the Bank’s P/TB ratio of 62.3% at the midpoint value reflects an implied discount of 24.3% and at the top of the super range the discount narrows to 14.8% based on the Bank’s pro forma P/TB ratio of 70.1%. As of July 18, 2008, Danvers Bancorp’s stock closed 14.1% above its IPO price.

3. P/A Approach. P/A ratios are generally not as a reliable indicator of market value, as investors do not place significant weight on total assets as a determinant of market value. Investors place significantly greater weight on book value and earnings — which have received greater weight in our valuation analysis. At the $67.5 million midpoint value value, Home Bank’s pro forma P/A ratio equaled 13.34%. In comparison to the Peer Group’s average P/A ratio of 9.80%, Home Bank’s P/A ratio indicated a premium of 36.1% (versus a premium of 32.3% at the midpoint valuation in the Original Appraisal). In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/A ratio of 9.10%, Home Bank’s updated P/A ratio at the midpoint indicated a premium of 46.6% (versus a premium of 39.6% at the midpoint valuation in the Original Appraisal).

Valuation Conclusion

We have concluded that the Bank’s estimated pro forma market value should be decreased since the date of the Original Appraisal. Accordingly, it is our opinion that, as of July 18, 2008, the estimated aggregate pro forma market value of the shares to be issued immediately following the conversion equaled $67,500,000 at the midpoint, equal to 6,750,000 shares offered at a per share value of $10.00. Pursuant to conversion guidelines, the 15% valuation range indicates a minimum value of $57,375,000 and a maximum value of $77,625,000. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price determined by the Board, this valuation range equates to total shares outstanding of 5,737,500 at the minimum and 7,762,500 at the maximum. In the event the appraised value is subject to an increase, the aggregate pro forma market value may be increased up to a supermaximum value of $89,268,750 without a resolicitation. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, the supermaximum value would result in total shares outstanding of 8,926,875. The pro forma valuation calculations relative to the Peer Group are shown in Table 5 and are detailed in Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4.
