PART I

Item 1.  Business
-------  --------

Business of the Company

         Guthrie  Savings,   Inc.  (the  "Company")  is  an   Oklahoma-chartered
corporation  organized in May 1994 at the direction of Guthrie  Federal  Savings
and Loan Association (the  "Association")  in connection with the  Association's
conversion  from the mutual to stock form. On October 11, 1994, the  Association
completed its  conversion and changed its name to Guthrie  Federal  Savings Bank
(the "Bank") and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company is
a unitary savings and loan holding company which, under existing laws, generally
is not  restricted  in the types of business  activities  in which it may engage
provided  the Bank retains a specified  amount of its assets in  housing-related
investments.  At March 31, 1997,  the Company had total  consolidated  assets of
$49.0 million and stockholders' equity of $7.8 million.

Business of the Bank

         The Bank is a federally  chartered stock savings bank  headquartered in
Guthrie,  Oklahoma.  The  Bank  was  founded  in 1906  with a  charter  from the
Territory  of  Oklahoma   under  the  name  of  "Employees   Building  and  Loan
Association."  Employees  Building and Loan Association became known as "Guthrie
Savings and Loan  Association" in 1968 when it changed its name. In early August
1994,  the Bank became a federal  association  under the name  "Guthrie  Federal
Savings and Loan  Association."  The Bank  changed  its name to Guthrie  Federal
Savings Bank in October of 1994 in connection with its conversion from mutual to
stock  form.  The Bank's  deposits  have been  federally  insured by the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and its predecessor, the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corporation,  since 1948, and the Bank is a member of the Federal
Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB") System.

         The Bank is primarily  engaged in attracting  deposits from the general
public  and  using  those  funds  to  originate  real  estate  loans  on one- to
four-family residences and, to a lesser extent, consumer loans. The Bank has one
office in  Guthrie,  Oklahoma,  which is located in its  primary  market area of
Logan County, Oklahoma. In addition, the Bank holds interest-bearing deposits in
other  financial  institutions  and invests in  mortgage-backed  securities  and
investment   securities.   The  Bank  offers  its   customers   fixed-rate   and
adjustable-rate mortgage loans, as well as consumer loans, including home equity
and savings account loans.  Federal National Mortgage  Association  ("FNMA") and
Federal Home Loan Mortgage  Corporation  ("FHLMC") fixed-rate mortgage loans and
Federal  Housing  Administration/Veterans  Administration  ("FHA/VA")  loans are
originated  under a correspondent  banking  relationship  with mortgage  banking
companies.  Adjustable-rate  mortgage loans and  fixed-rate  mortgage loans with
terms of up to 30 years are  originated  for retention in the Bank's  portfolio.
All installment loans are retained in the Bank's portfolio.

         The Bank is subject to examination and comprehensive  regulation by the
Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and its deposits are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") under the SAIF. The Bank is a member of
and owns  capital  stock in the FHLB of Topeka,  which is one of the 12 regional
banks in the FHLB System.

         The principal  sources of funds for the Bank's  lending  activities are
deposits and the  amortization,  repayment,  and  maturity of loans,  investment
securities,  and  mortgage-backed  securities.  Principal  sources of income are
interest and fees on loans, mortgage-backed certificates, investment securities,
and deposits held in other financial institutions.  The Bank's principal expense
is interest paid on deposits.

Market Area and Competition

         Logan County,  Oklahoma is considered to be the Bank's  primary  market
area. Agriculture and the oil and gas industry dominate the economy.  During the
past several years,  the economic  conditions in this area have  stabilized from
the major downturn in activity experienced during the mid- to late-1980s.

         During its 90 year  existence,  the Bank has  focused  on  serving  its
customers  located  in the  Oklahoma  communities  of  Guthrie  and  surrounding
communities in Logan County,  and to a lesser  extent,  the cities of Kingfisher
and  Stillwater  and parts of the Oklahoma  counties of Payne,  Kingfisher,  and
Oklahoma.  The Bank is one of nine local  thrifts and  commercial  banks serving
Logan County.  Guthrie must also compete with credit unions and mortgage banking
companies located outside of Logan County.

         The  Bank  encounters  strong  competition  both in the  attraction  of
deposits  and  origination  of real estate and other  loans.  Competition  comes
primarily from seven savings  institutions  and commercial banks with offices in
Logan  County.  In addition,  the Bank  competes with credit unions and mortgage
banking  companies that operate in Logan County.  Due to their size, many of the
Bank's competitors possess greater financial and marketing  resources.  The Bank
competes for savings accounts by offering depositors  competitive interest rates
and a high level of personal service.

         Competition  for  mortgage  loans is not  limited  to  local  financial
institutions.  The Bank competes for loans primarily  through the interest rates
and loan fees it charges and the  efficiency and quality of services it provides
borrowers, real estate brokers and contractors.

         The  Bank's  market  place  has  seen  moderate  unemployment  and some
population  decline.  Because  of the  lack  of  economic  growth  and  stagnant
population,  the  Bank  has had to  invest  in  mortgage-backed  and  investment
securities.

Lending Activities

         General.   The  Bank's  loan   portfolio   predominantly   consists  of
adjustable-and   fixed-rate  mortgage  loans  secured  by  one-  to  four-family
residences  and,  to  a  lesser  extent,   land  and  lot   development   loans,
non-residential  loans,  and loans for other dwelling units. The Bank also makes
consumer loans, including automobile and savings account loans.

         Residential  Loans. The Bank's primary lending activity consists of the
origination of one- to four-family,  owner-occupied,  residential mortgage loans
secured by  property  located  in the Bank's  primary  market  area.  Management
believes  that this policy of focusing on one- to  four-family  lending has been
effective  in   contributing   to  net  interest   income  while   keeping  loan
delinquencies  and losses to a minimum.  The Bank also originates a small number
of residential real estate loans secured by multi-family dwellings.

         The Bank  currently  offers,  for  retention in its  portfolio  and for
correspondent  banks and mortgage banking companies,  adjustable-rate  mortgages
("ARMs")  that  adjust  every one and three  years and have terms from one to 30
years, and fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms of one to 30 years. The interest
rates on ARMs are based on treasury  bill rates and the national  cost of funds.
The Bank considers the market factors and competitive  rates on loans as well as
its own cost of funds  when  determining  the rates on the loans that it offers.
The Bank has a small  network of  correspondents  to whom the Bank refers  loans
that it does not  wish to  originate  for its  portfolio.  The  Bank  originates
adjustable-rate loans for its own loan portfolio. The Bank originates fixed-rate
loans with  terms of 30 years or less for its  portfolio.  The Bank also  refers
FHA/VA loans to its correspondents. Although the Bank only originates fixed rate
and  adjustable-rate  mortgage loans for its own  portfolio,  they are generally
underwritten to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") standards.

         Generally, during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default
on an ARM is  considered  to be greater than the risk of default on a fixed-rate
loan due to the upward  adjustment of interest costs to the borrower.  ARM loans
are made at up to 90% of the loan to value  ratio.  The Bank does not  originate
ARMs with negative amortization.

         Regulations  limit the amount  that a savings  association  may lend in
relationship  to the  appraised  value of the real estate  securing the loan, as
determined  by an appraisal at the time of loan  origination.  Such  regulations
permit a maximum  loan-to-value  ratio of 100% for residential  property and 90%
for all other real estate loans. The Bank's lending policies, however, generally
limit  the  maximum  loan-to-value  ratio to 80% of the  appraised  value of the
property, based on an independent or staff appraisal. When the Bank makes a loan
in excess of 80% of the  appraised  value or purchase  price,  private  mortgage
insurance  is  required  for at least the amount of the loan in excess of 80% of
the appraised value.

         The  loan-to-value  ratio,   maturity,  and  other  provisions  of  the
residential  real  estate  loans made by the Bank  reflect  the policy of making
loans generally below the maximum limits permitted under applicable regulations.
The Bank  requires an  independent  or staff  appraisal,  title  insurance or an
attorney's opinion with an abstract, flood hazard insurance (if applicable), and
fire and casualty insurance

                                        6

on all properties securing real estate loans made by the Bank. The Bank reserves
the right to approve the selection of which title insurance  companies' policies
are acceptable to insure real estate in loan transactions.

         While one- to  four-family  residential  real estate loans are normally
originated with one to 30 year terms,  such loans typically  remain  outstanding
for substantially  shorter periods because borrowers often prepay their loans in
full upon sale of the  property  pledged as  security  or upon  refinancing  the
original loan. In addition,  substantially all of the fixed-interest  rate loans
in the Bank's loan portfolio contain due-on-sale clauses providing that the Bank
may declare  the unpaid  amount due and  payable  upon the sale of the  property
securing the loan.  The Bank enforces  these  due-on-sale  clauses to the extent
permitted  by law.  Thus,  average  loan  maturity is a function of, among other
factors,  the level of purchase  and sale  activity  in the real estate  market,
prevailing interest rates and the interest rates payable on outstanding loans.

         Second Mortgage  Loans.  The Bank makes loans on real estate secured by
secondary,  or junior,  mortgages.  Secondary  mortgage  loans possess  somewhat
greater  risk than primary  mortgage  loans since the  security  underlying  the
second  mortgage  loan must first be used to satisfy  the  obligation  under the
primary  mortgage loan. The Bank's  lending  policies for second  mortgage loans
secured  by one- to  four-family  residences  are  similar  to  those  used  for
residential loans, including the required loan-to-value ratio. The Bank does not
currently originate any second mortgage loans outside its primary market area.

         Land Loans.  The Bank makes loans secured by raw land, in amounts up to
65% of the appraised value of the land. The loans are primarily  secured by lots
in the Bank's primary market area. Although those loans are generally considered
to be of a higher  credit risk than home loans,  the Bank has not  experienced a
high rate of delinquencies.

         Consumer  Loans.  Consumer loans consist of personal  unsecured  loans,
home  improvement  loans,  automobile  loans and savings account loans, at fixed
rates.

         The  underwriting  standards  employed by the Bank for  consumer  loans
include a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts and an
assessment of ability to meet existing  obligations and payments on the proposed
loan. In addition,  the stability of the applicant's monthly income from primary
employment is considered during the underwriting  process.  Creditworthiness  of
the applicant is of primary  consideration;  however,  the underwriting  process
also  includes a  comparison  of the value of the  security  in  relation to the
proposed loan amount.

         Consumer loans entail greater credit risk than do residential  mortgage
loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or secured
by assets that depreciate rapidly, such as automobiles, mobile homes, boats, and
recreational  vehicles.  In such cases,  repossessed  collateral for a defaulted
consumer  loan  may  not  provide  an  adequate  source  of  repayment  for  the
outstanding  loan and the remaining  deficiency  often does not warrant  further
substantial  collection  efforts  against the borrower.  In particular,  amounts
realizable on the sale of repossessed  automobiles may be significantly  reduced
based  upon the  condition  of the  automobiles  and the lack of demand for used
automobiles.  The Bank  adds a  general  provision  to its  consumer  loan  loss
allowance,  based on general  economic  conditions,  prior loss  experience  and
management's periodic evaluation.

         Commercial  Real Estate Loans.  Loans secured by commercial real estate
are originated in amounts up to 80% of the appraised value of the property. Such
appraised value is determined by an independent appraiser previously approved by
the Bank. The Bank's commercial real estate loans are permanent loans secured by
improved property such as small office buildings, retail stores, small strip

                                        7

<PAGE>



plazas, and other non-residential buildings. The Bank originates commercial real
estate  loans  with  amortization  periods  of one  to 20  years,  primarily  as
adjustable-rate mortgages.

         Loans secured by  commercial  real estate  generally  involve a greater
degree of risk than  residential  mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances.
This  increased  credit  risk is a result  of  several  factors,  including  the
concentration  of  principal  in a limited  number of loans and  borrowers,  the
effects of general economic conditions on income-producing  properties,  and the
increased  difficulty  of  evaluating  and  monitoring  these  types  of  loans.
Furthermore,  the  repayment  of loans  secured  by  commercial  real  estate is
typically  dependent  upon the  successful  operation of the related real estate
project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower's ability to
repay the loan may be impaired.  At March 31, 1997, the largest  commercial real
estate loan was secured by a health care  facility and had a balance of $528,000
and was current.

         Construction  Loans.  The Bank primarily  makes  construction  loans to
individuals to construct single-family  owner-occupied homes, for which the Bank
also  provides  permanent   financing.   Construction   financing  is  generally
considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than  long-term  financing
on  improved,  occupied  real  estate.  Risk of loss on a  construction  loan is
dependent  largely upon the accuracy of the initial  estimate of the  property's
value at completion  of  construction  or  development  and the  estimated  cost
(including interest) of construction. During the construction phase, a number of
factors  could  result  in  delays  and  cost  overruns.   If  the  estimate  of
construction costs proves to be inaccurate,  the Bank may be required to advance
funds  beyond  the  amount  originally  committed  to permit  completion  of the
development.  If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate,  the Bank may be
confronted,  at or prior to the  maturity of the loan,  with a project  having a
value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.

         Loan  Purchases  and  Sales.  The Bank did not sell or  purchase  loans
during the years ended March 31,  1996 and 1997.  Instead,  the Bank has offered
30-year fixed rate mortgage loans that are underwritten by  correspondent  banks
and mortgage  banking  companies.  The Bank has generally  not  purchased  loans
during the past five years.

         Loan  Commitments.  The Bank  issues  written,  formal  commitments  to
prospective borrowers on all real estate approved loans. The commitment requires
acceptance  within 10 days of the date of issuance.  For commercial  real estate
loans or commercial loans in general, the commitment is issued for approximately
10 days and must be closed within 30 days of issuance.  Commitments for consumer
loans  expire 30 days  after  issuance.  At March 31,  1997,  the Bank had $0 in
commitments to originate mortgage loans.

         Loan Processing Fees. In addition to interest earned on loans, the Bank
recognizes  service  charges that consist  primarily of late  charges.  The Bank
recognized  loan  processing  fees of  $13,737,  and $14,636 for the years ended
March 31, 1996, and 1997, respectively.

         Loans to One  Borrower.  A savings  association  may not make a loan or
extend  credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of the
association's  unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be lent,
equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, under certain circumstances.

         Loan  Delinquencies.  Loans are  reviewed  on a  regular  basis and are
generally placed on a non-accrual status when the loan becomes more than 90 days
delinquent  and, in the opinion of  management,  the  collection  of  additional
interest is doubtful.  Interest  accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed
on non-accrual  status is charged against interest income.  Subsequent  interest
payments,  if any, are either applied to the  outstanding  principal  balance or
recorded  as  interest  income,  depending  on the  assessment  of the  ultimate
collectibility of the loan.

         Real estate  acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or by deed
in lieu of foreclosure  is classified as foreclosed  real estate until such time
as it is sold. When  foreclosed  real estate is acquired,  it is recorded at the
lower of fair value or cost. Valuations are periodically performed by management
and  subsequent  charges to general  mortgage loan reserves are taken when it is
determined  that the carrying value of the property  exceeds the fair value less
estimated costs to sell.

         The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual loans,
real estate owned,  and other  repossessed  assets and loans that are 90 days or
more  delinquent  but on which the  Company was  accruing  interest at the dates
indicated.

         Classified Assets. OTS regulations provide for a classification  system
for problem  assets of insured  institutions  which  covers all problem  assets.
Under this  classification  system,  problem assets of insured  institutions are
classified  as  "substandard,"  "doubtful,"  or "loss."  An asset is  considered
substandard if it is inadequately  protected by the current net worth and paying
capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets
include  those  characterized  by the  "distinct  possibility"  that the insured
institution  will sustain  "some loss" if the  deficiencies  are not  corrected.
Assets  classified  as  doubtful  have all of the  weaknesses  inherent in those
classified  substandard,  with the  added  characteristic  that  the  weaknesses
present  make  "collection  or  liquidation  in full," on the basis of currently
existing facts,  conditions and values,  "highly  questionable  and improbable."
Assets  classified  as loss are  those  considered  "uncollectible"  and of such
little value that their  continuance  as assets without the  establishment  of a
specific  loss  reserve  is not  warranted.  Assets may be  designated  "special
mention"   because  of  potential   weakness  that  do  not  currently   warrant
classification in one of the aforementioned  categories.  In addition,  the Bank
maintains  an  internal   "watchlist"  of  all  loans  that  were  removed  from
classification during the prior one-year period.

         When  an  insured  institution  classifies  problem  assets  as  either
substandard or doubtful,  it may establish general allowances for loan losses in
an amount  deemed  prudent by  management.  General  allowances  represent  loss
allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated
with lending activities,  but which, unlike specific  allowances,  have not been
allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured  institution  classifies
problem assets as loss, it is required either to establish a specific  allowance
for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge
off such amount. An institution's  determination as to the classification of its
assets and the amount of its  valuation  allowances  is subject to review by the
OTS, which may order the  establishment  of additional  general or specific loss
allowances.  A portion of general loss allowances  established to cover possible
losses  related to assets  classified as substandard or doubtful may be included
in determining an institution's  regulatory  capital,  while specific  valuation
allowances for loan losses  generally do not qualify as regulatory  capital.  At
March 31, 1997, that Bank had a general loan loss allowance of $267,000.

         Real  Estate  Owned.  Real  estate  acquired by the Bank as a result of
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned
until it is sold.  When  property is acquired it is recorded at the lower of the
cost or fair value.

         The Bank held no real estate owned at March 31, 1997.

         Allowance for Loan and Real Estate Losses. It is management's policy to
provide for losses on  unidentified  loans in its loan  portfolio and foreclosed
real  estate.  A  provision  for loan losses is charged to  operations  based on
management's  evaluation  of the  potential  losses  that may be incurred in the
Bank's loan portfolio. Such evaluation,  which includes a review of all loans of
which full  collectibility  of  interest  and  principal  may not be  reasonably
assured,  considers,  among other matters, the estimated net realizable value of
the underlying  collateral.  During the years ended March 31, 1996 and 1997, the
Bank charged (credited)  $(132,000) and $1,000,  respectively,  to the provision
for loan losses and $0 and $0, respectively, to the provision for losses on real
estate owned and other repossessed assets.

         Management  will  continue  to review  the  entire  loan  portfolio  to
determine the extent, if any, to which further additional loss provisions may be
deemed  necessary.  There can be no assurance that the allowance for losses will
be adequate to cover losses which may in fact be realized in the future and that
significant additional provisions for losses will not be required.

Mortgage-Backed Securities and Investment Activities

         General.  The Bank is required under federal  regulations to maintain a
minimum  amount of liquid  assets which may be invested in specified  short-term
securities and certain other  investments.  The Bank has generally  maintained a
liquidity portfolio well in excess of regulatory requirements.  Liquidity levels
may  be  increased  or  decreased   depending  upon  the  yields  on  investment
alternatives  and upon  management's  judgment as to the  attractiveness  of the
yields then available in relation to other  opportunities and its expectation of
future yield levels,  as well as  management's  projections as to the short-term
demand for funds to be used in the Bank's loan origination and other activities.
At March 31, 1997, the Bank had an investment  portfolio of approximately  $10.8
million,  consisting  primarily  of U.S.  government  agency  obligations,  U.S.
Treasury  securities,  and FHLB stock, as permitted by the OTS regulations.  The
Bank has found its level of investment  securities has increased in recent years
as  a  result  of  repayments  and  prepayments  on  loans  and  mortgage-backed
securities  exceeding  loan  demand.  The Bank has  invested in  mortgage-backed
securities to offset this excess  liquidity  principally in Government  National
Mortgage  Association  ("GNMA")  ARMs,  Federal  National  Mortgage  Association
("FNMA") ARMs, and FHLMC ARMs.

         The Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 115  "Accounting  for Certain
Investments  in Debt and Equity  Securities.  SFAS No. 115  requires the Bank to
classify all of its  investments  in debt and equity  securities  ("securities")
into three categories.  Debt securities which management has the positive intent
and ability to hold until  maturity are to be  classified  as  held-to-maturity.
Securities that are bought and held  principally for the purpose of selling them
in  the  near  term  are to be  classified  as  trading  securities.  All  other
securities are to be classified as available-for-sale securities.

         Unrealized  holding gains and losses for trading  securities  are to be
included  in  earnings.  Unrealized  gains  and  losses  for  available-for-sale
securities  are to be excluded  from  earnings  and  reported  net of income tax
effect  as  a  separate  component  of  shareholders'   equity  until  realized.
Investments  classified as held-to-maturity are to be accounted for at amortized
cost. The Bank adopted SFAS No. 115 effective  April 1, 1994, and designated its
investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities  portfolio  into the required three
categories.  As a result of SFAS No. 115, the Bank reviewed and  classified  its
securities as held-for-investment or available-for-sale.

                                       13

<PAGE>




         SFAS No. 115  requires the Bank to account for a portion of its holding
of debt securities at market value (as opposed to amortized cost) and may result
in  greater  volatility  in its  earnings  and  capital  position.  It also  may
discourage investment in longer term debt securities,  which tend to have higher
yields than  short-term  debt  securities,  and hence reduce the earnings of the
Bank.  No  securities  can be moved from a  particular  category  without  Board
approval.

         The market value of investments and mortgage-backed  securities held to
maturity at March 31, 1997, was $8.6 million and $13.2  million,  resulting in a
net  unrealized  loss at such  dates  of  approximately  $121,000  and  $88,000,
respectively.  The  Bank  anticipates  having  the  ability  to fund  all of its
investing activities from funds held on deposit at FHLB of Topeka. The Bank will
continue to seek high quality investments with short to intermediate  maturities
and  duration  from  one to five  years.  At  March  31,  1997,  the  securities
classified as available for sale had a carrying  value of $2.1 million net of an
unrealized loss of $70,000.

         The  Revenue  Reconciliation  Act of 1993  added a  Section  475 to the
Internal  Revenue Code.  Section 475 is a  mark-to-market  tax provision that is
different from SFAS No. 115. The term  "securities" in the tax statute  includes
not just traditional debt and equity securities,  but mortgages as well. Section
475  and  the  temporary   regulations   issued  thereunder  apply  to  "dealer"
institutions that regularly buy or sell more than a nominal amount of securities
in the ordinary course of a trade or business.  Section 475 requires the Bank to
identify securities held for sale within the meaning of the tax code and include
unrealized gains or losses on related security  transactions with its fiscal tax
return.  The tax reporting of unrealized gains and losses on securities held for
sale as defined by Section 475 and the related  regulations,  if different  from
SFAS No. 115, is a temporary  difference  as defined  under SFAS No. 109 and the
recording of a related deferred tax liability or asset will not affect generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis net income. At March 31, 1997, the
Bank did not have any investments subject to Section 475.

Mortgage-Backed Securities

         To supplement  lending  activities in periods of deposit  growth and/or
declining  loan demand,  the Bank has increased its  investments  in residential
mortgage-backed  securities  during recent years.  Although such  securities are
held for investment,  they can serve as collateral for borrowings  and,  through
repayments, as a source of liquidity.

         The  mortgage-backed   securities  portfolio  as  of  March  31,  1997,
consisted  primarily  of  adjustable-rate  certificates  issued  by FHLMC  ($1.4
million),  GNMA ($3.2  million),  and FNMA  ($848,000).  To a lesser  extent the
mortgage  backed  securities  portfolio  also contains  fixed-rate  certificates
issued by FHLMC,  GNMA,  and FNMA.  At March 31,  1997,  the  carrying  value of
mortgage-backed  securities totalled $7.9 million or 16.09% of total assets. The
market value of such securities totalled approximately $7.7 million at March 31,
1997,  resulting  in a net  unrealized  loss  of  $142,000  in  this  portfolio.
Additionally,  as of March 31, 1997, the Bank held investments in collateralized
mortgage obligations amounting to $5.4 million,  which had an unrealized gain of
$54,000.

         Mortgage-backed securities represent a participation interest in a pool
of single-family or multi-family mortgages,  the principal and interest payments
on which  are  passed  from the  mortgage  originators,  through  intermediaries
(generally   quasi-governmental   agencies)   that   pool  and   repackage   the
participation  interests in the form of  securities,  to  investors  such as the
Bank. Such quasi-governmental agencies, which guarantee the payment of principal
and interest to investors, primarily include FHLMC, FNMA, and GNMA.

         FHLMC is a corporation  chartered by the United States  Government  and
owned  by  the  12  Federal  Home  Loan  Banks  and  federally  insured  savings
institutions.  FHLMC issues  participation  certificates  backed  principally by
conventional mortgage loans. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and
the ultimate return of principal  within one year. FHLMC securities are indirect
obligations  of the  United  States  Government.  FNMA is a private  corporation
chartered  by  Congress  with a mandate  to  establish  a  secondary  market for
conventional mortgage loans. FNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and
interest,  and FNMA  securities  are indirect  obligations  of the United States
Government.  GNMA is a government  agency  within the  Department of Housing and
Urban Development  ("HUD") which is intended to help finance government assisted
housing programs.  GNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest,
and GNMA securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States
Government.  Since FHLMC,  FNMA and GNMA were established to provide support for
low- and  middle-income  housing,  there are limits to the maximum size of loans
that qualify for these programs.  GNMA limits its maximum loan size for Veterans
Administration  ("VA") loans and for Federal  Housing  Authority  ("FHA") loans.
FNMA and FHLMC limit their loans. To accommodate  larger-sized  loans, and loans
that,  for other  reasons,  do not conform to the agency  programs,  a number of
private  institutions  have  established  their own  home-loan  origination  and
securitization programs.

         Mortgage-backed  securities  typically are issued with stated principal
amounts,  and the  securities  are backed by pools of mortgages  that have loans
with  interest  rates that are within a range and have varying  maturities.  The
underlying pool of mortgages can be composed of either  fixed-rate  mortgages or
adjustable-rate  mortgage  loans.   Mortgage-backed   securities  are  generally
referred to as mortgage participation certificates or pass-through certificates.
As a result,  the interest rate risk  characteristics  of the underlying pool of
mortgages (i.e.,  fixed rate or adjustable rate) as well as prepayment risk, are
passed on to the certificate holder. The life of a mortgage-backed  pass-through
security  is  equal  to the life of the  underlying  mortgages.  Mortgage-backed
securities  issued  by  FHLMC,  FNMA,  and  GNMA  make  up  a  majority  of  the
pass-through market.

         The collateralized  mortgage  obligations ("CMOs") (in the form of real
estate  mortgage  investment  conduits)  held by  Registrant  at March 31,  1997
totaled  $5.4 million and  consisted  of CMOs issued by FHLMC,  FNMA and private
issuers.  The aggregate  book value of CMOs issued by any one private issuer did
not exceed 10% of stockholders'  equity at March 31, 1997 or 1996. The portfolio
of CMOs held in the Company's mortgage-backed  securities portfolio at March 31,
1997 did not include any residual interests in CMOs. Further, at March 31, 1997,
the  Company's   mortgage-backed   securities  portfolio  did  not  include  any
"stripped" CMOs (i.e., CMOs that pay interest only and do not repay principal or
CMOs that repay principal only and do not pay interest).

Sources of Funds

         General.  Deposits are the major source of the Bank's funds for lending
and other  investment  purposes.  The Bank derives funds from  amortization  and
prepayment  of loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  maturities of investment
securities, and operations. Scheduled loan principal repayments are a relatively
stable source of funds,  while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments
are  significantly  influenced by general interest rates and market  conditions.
The Bank may also utilize  advances from the FHLB of Topeka and other borrowings
as a source of funds.

         Deposits.  Consumer and commercial  deposits are attracted  principally
from  within the Bank's  primary  market area  through  the  offering of a broad
selection  of deposit  instruments  including  regular  savings,  demand and NOW
accounts, and term certificate accounts (including negotiated jumbo certificates
in denominations  of $100,000 or more).  Deposit account terms vary according to
the minimum balance required,  the time period the funds must remain on deposit,
and the interest rate, among other factors.

         Jumbo   Certificate   Accounts.   The  following  table  indicates  the
approximate amount of the Company's  certificate accounts of $100,000 or more by
time remaining until maturity as of March 31, 1997.

                                                                Certificates

Borrowings

         Deposits  are the  primary  source of funds of the Bank's  lending  and
investment activities and for its general business purposes. The Bank may obtain
advances  from the FHLB of Topeka to  supplement  its supply of lendable  funds.
Advances  from the FHLB of Topeka would  typically be secured by a pledge of the
Bank's  stock in the FHLB of Topeka and a portion of the Bank's  first  mortgage
loans and certain  other assets.  The Bank, if the need arises,  may also access
the Federal  Reserve Bank discount  window to supplement  its supply of lendable
funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements.

         To supplement  lending  activities in periods of deposit  growth and/or
declining  loan demand,  the Bank has increased its  investments  in residential
mortgage-backed  securities.  Although such  securities are held for investment,
they can serve as collateral for borrowings and, through repayments, as a source
of liquidity.

Subsidiary Activity

         The  Company has one  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  the Bank.  The Bank is
permitted  to invest up to 2% of its assets in the capital  stock of, or secured
or unsecured loans to, subsidiary corporations, with an additional investment of
1% of assets when such additional investment is utilized primarily for community
development purposes. As of March 31, 1997, the Bank had no subsidiaries.

Employees

         Substantially  all  of the  activities  of the  Company  are  conducted
through the Bank,  therefore,  at March 31,  1997,  the Company did not have any
salaried employees.

         As of March  31,  1997,  the Bank had 14  full-time  employees  and two
part-time  employees.  None  of  the  Bank's  employees  are  represented  by  a
collective  bargaining  group. The Bank believes that its relationship  with its
employees is good.

Regulation

         Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws which related to
the regulation of the Company and the Bank. The description  does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and
regulations.

Company Regulation

         General.  The  Company is a unitary  savings and loan  holding  company
subject to regulatory  oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company is required to
register  and  file  reports  with  the OTS and is  subject  to  regulation  and
examination by the OTS. In addition,  the OTS has enforcement authority over the
Company and its non-savings association  subsidiaries,  should such subsidiaries
be formed,  which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit  activities  that
are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings association.  This
regulation  and  oversight  is  intended  primarily  for the  protection  of the
depositors of the Bank and not for the benefit of stockholders of the Company.

                                       20

<PAGE>




         Qualified  Thrift  Lender Test.  As a unitary  savings and loan holding
company, the Company generally is not subject to activity restrictions, provided
the Bank  satisfies  the Qualified  Thrift  Lender  ("QTL") test. If the Company
acquires  control of another savings  association as a separate  subsidiary,  it
would become a multiple savings and loan holding company,  and the activities of
the  Company  and any of its  subsidiaries  (other  than the  Bank or any  other
SAIF-insured   savings   association)   would  become  subject  to  restrictions
applicable to bank holding  companies unless such other  associations  each also
qualify  as a QTL  and  were  acquired  in a  supervisory  acquisition.  See  "-
Regulation of the Bank Qualified Thrift Lender Test."

         Restrictions on Acquisitions. The Company must obtain approval from the
OTS  before  acquiring  control  of any  other  SAIF-insured  association.  Such
acquisitions  are generally  prohibited if they result in a multiple savings and
loan holding company  controlling  savings  associations in more than one state.
However,  such  interstate  acquisitions  are permitted  based on specific state
authorization or in a supervisory acquisition of a failing savings association.

         Subject to appropriate regulatory approvals, a bank holding company can
acquire  control  of a  savings  association,  and  if  it  controls  a  savings
association,  merge or  consolidate  the assets and  liabilities  of the savings
association  with, or transfer  assets and  liabilities  to, any subsidiary bank
which  is a  member  of the BIF with the  approval  of the  appropriate  federal
banking  agency  and the  Federal  Reserve  Board.  Generally,  federal  savings
associations can acquire, or be acquired by, any insured depository institution.

Regulation of the Bank

         General. As a federally  chartered,  SAIF-insured  savings association,
the Bank is subject to  extensive  regulation  by the OTS and the FDIC.  Lending
activities and other  investments must comply with various federal statutory and
regulatory   requirements.   The  Bank  is  also  subject  to  certain   reserve
requirements promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.

         The OTS, in conjunction with the FDIC,  regularly examines the Bank and
prepares  reports for the  consideration of the Bank's Board of Directors on any
deficiencies that are found in the Bank's  operations.  The Bank's  relationship
with its depositors and borrowers is also regulated to a great extent by federal
and state law,  especially in such matters as the ownership of savings  accounts
and the form and content of the Bank's mortgage documents.

         The Bank must file  reports  with the OTS and the FDIC  concerning  its
activities  and  financial  condition,   in  addition  to  obtaining  regulatory
approvals  prior to entering into certain  transactions  such as mergers with or
acquisitions  of other savings  institutions.  This  regulation and  supervision
establishes a comprehensive  framework of activities in which an institution can
engage and is intended  primarily for the protection of the SAIF and depositors.
The  regulatory  structure  also  gives  the  regulatory  authorities  extensive
discretion in connection with their  supervisory and enforcement  activities and
examination  policies,  including policies with respect to the classification of
assets and the  establishment  of adequate  loan loss  reserves  for  regulatory
purposes.  Any change in such regulations,  whether by the OTS, the FDIC, or the
Congress  could have a material  adverse  impact on the Company,  the Bank,  and
their operations.

         Insurance of Deposit Accounts.  The Bank's deposit accounts are insured
by the SAIF to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured  member (as defined by law
and  regulation).  Insurance  of deposits may be  terminated  by the FDIC upon a
finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound  practices,  is in
an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any

                                       21

<PAGE>



applicable law, regulation,  rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the
institution's  primary  regulator.   The  FDIC  may  also  prohibit  an  insured
depository institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines poses a
serious threat to the SAIF.

         The FDIC  charges an annual  assessment  for the  insurance of deposits
based on the risk a particular  institution poses to its deposit insurance fund,
depending upon the institution's risk  classification.  This risk classification
is based on an institution's  capital group and supervisory subgroup assignment.
In addition,  the FDIC is authorized to increase  deposit  insurance  rates on a
semi-annual  basis if it  determines  that such action is necessary to cause the
balance  in the  SAIF  to  reach  the  designated  reserve  ratio  of  1.25%  of
SAIF-insured  deposits  within a reasonable  period of time. The FDIC may impose
special  assessments  on SAIF members to repay  amounts  borrowed  from the U.S.
Treasury  or for any  other  reason  deemed  necessary  by the  FDIC.  Prior  to
September 30, 1996, savings  associations paid within a range of .23% to .31% of
domestic  deposits and the SAIF was  substantially  underfunded.  By comparison,
prior to  September  30,  1996,  members  of the Bank  Insurance  Fund  ("BIF"),
predominantly  commercial banks,  were required to pay  substantially  lower, or
virtually no, federal deposit insurance premiums.

         Effective  September  30,  1996,  federal  law was revised to mandate a
one-time  special  assessment on SAIF members such as the Bank of  approximately
 .657% of deposits held on March 31, 1995.  The Bank recorded a $225,000  pre-tax
expense for this  assessment at September 30, 1996.  Beginning  January 1, 1997,
deposit  insurance  assessments  for SAIF members were reduced to  approximately
 .064% of deposits on an annual basis;  this rate may continue through the end of
1999. During this same period,  BIF members are expected to be annually assessed
approximately  .013%  of  deposits.  Thereafter,  assessments  for BIF and  SAIF
members  should be the same and the SAIF and BIF may be merged.  It is  expected
that these continuing  assessments for both SAIF and BIF members will be used to
repay outstanding Financing  Corporation bond obligations.  As a result of these
changes,  beginning January 1, 1997, the rate of deposit insurance  assessed the
Bank substantially declined.

         Regulatory  Capital  Requirements.   OTS  capital  regulations  require
savings institutions to meet three capital standards: (1) tangible capital equal
to 1.5% of total adjusted  assets,  (2) a leverage ratio (core capital) equal to
at least 3% of total adjusted assets, and (3) a risk-based  capital  requirement
equal to 8.0% of total risk-weighted assets.

         Dividend and Other Capital  Distribution  Limitations.  OTS regulations
require  the  Bank  to  give  the OTS 30 days  advance  notice  of any  proposed
declaration of dividends to the Company, and the OTS has the authority under its
supervisory powers to prohibit the payment of dividends to the Company.

         OTS regulations  impose  limitations upon all capital  distributions by
savings  institutions,  such  as  cash  dividends,  payments  to  repurchase  or
otherwise acquire its shares, payments to shareholders of another institution in
a cash-out  merger and other  distributions  charged against  capital.  The rule
establishes  three tiers of  institutions,  based primarily on an  institution's
capital  level.  An  institution  that  exceeds  all  fully  phased-in   capital
requirements  before  and  after  a  proposed  capital   distribution  ("Tier  1
institution")  and has not  been  advised  by the OTS that it is in need of more
than the normal  supervision can, after prior notice but without the approval of
the OTS, make capital  distributions during a calendar year equal to the greater
of (i) 100% of its net income to date during the  calendar  year plus the amount
that would reduce by one-half its "surplus  capital  ratio" (the excess  capital
over its fully phased-in capital  requirements) at the beginning of the calendar
year,  or (ii) 75% of its net income over the most recent four  quarter  period.
Any additional capital  distributions  require prior regulatory approval.  As of
March 31,  1997,  the Bank was a Tier 1  institution.  In the  event the  Bank's
capital fell below its fully  phased-in  requirement or the OTS notified it that
it was in need of more than normal supervision, the

                                       22

<PAGE>



Bank's ability to make capital  distributions could be restricted.  In addition,
the OTS could prohibit a proposed capital distribution by any institution, which
would otherwise be permitted by the regulation,  if the OTS determines that such
distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

         In  addition,  the Bank may not  declare or pay a cash  dividend on its
capital stock if the effect thereof would be to reduce the regulatory capital of
the Bank below the amount required for the liquidation account to be established
pursuant to the Bank's Plan of  Conversion.  Finally,  a savings  association is
prohibited from making a capital distribution if, after making the distribution,
the  savings  association  would be  undercapitalized  (not  meet any one of its
minimum regulatory capital requirements).

         Qualified  Thrift  Lender Test.  Savings  institutions  must meet a QTL
test. If the Bank maintains an appropriate level of Qualified Thrift Investments
(primarily  residential  mortgages and related  investments,  including  certain
mortgage-related  securities) ("QTIs") and otherwise qualifies as a QTL, it will
continue  to enjoy  full  borrowing  privileges  from the  FHLB of  Topeka.  The
required  percentage of QTIs is 65% of portfolio  assets  (defined as all assets
minus  intangible  assets,  property used by the  institution  in conducting its
business and liquid  assets equal to 10% of total  assets).  Certain  assets are
subject to a  percentage  limitation  of 20% of portfolio  assets.  In addition,
savings associations may include shares of stock of the FHLBs, FNMA and FHLMC as
qualifying  QTIs. An  association  must be in compliance  with the QTL test on a
monthly basis in nine out of every 12 months. As of March 31, 1997, the Bank was
in  compliance  with its QTL  requirement  with 82.4% of its assets  invested in
QTIs.

         A savings association that does not meet a QTL test must either convert
to a bank charter or comply with the following  restrictions  on its operations:
(i) the savings  association  may not engage in any new activity or make any new
investment,  directly or  indirectly,  unless such  activity  or  investment  is
permissible  for a  national  bank;  (ii) the  branching  powers of the  savings
association  shall be restricted to those of a national bank;  (iii) the savings
association shall not be eligible to obtain any advances from its FHLB; and (iv)
payment of  dividends by the savings  association  shall be subject to the rules
regarding  payment of dividends by a national bank. Upon the expiration of three
years from the date the  savings  association  ceases to be a QTL, it must cease
any activity and not retain any investment not  permissible  for a national bank
and  immediately  repay any  outstanding  FHLB  advances  (subject to safety and
soundness considerations).

         Liquidity  Requirements.  All  savings  associations  are  required  to
maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage
of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and
borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity  requirement may vary from
time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings
flows of all savings associations. At March 31, 1997, the Bank's required liquid
asset ratio was 20.8%.

         Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  System.  The Bank is a member of the FHLB of
Topeka,  which is one of 12 regional FHLBs that  administers  the home financing
credit  function  of  savings  associations.  Each FHLB  serves as a reserve  or
central bank for its members within its assigned region.  It is funded primarily
from  proceeds  derived from the sale of  consolidated  obligations  of the FHLB
System.  It makes loans to members (i.e.,  advances) in accordance with policies
and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB.

         As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the
FHLB of  Topeka  in an  amount  equal  to at least  1% of its  aggregate  unpaid
residential  mortgage loans, home purchase  contracts or similar  obligations at
the beginning of each year.


                                       23

<PAGE>



         Federal  Reserve  System.   The  Federal  Reserve  Board  requires  all
depository  institutions to maintain  non-interest bearing reserves at specified
levels against their transaction  accounts (primarily  checking,  NOW, and Super
NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits.  The balances  maintained
to meet the reserve  requirements  imposed by the Federal  Reserve  Board may be
used to satisfy the liquidity requirements that are imposed by the OTS. At March
31,  1997,  the  Bank  was  in  compliance  with  these  Federal  Reserve  Board
requirements.
