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

**EXPLANATORY      NOTE**

**Executive      Overview**

|   | • | The                Company has effectively managed its capital since the Company’s inception                in 1996.  Annual dividends per share have increased from $0.25                per share in 1997 to $1.32 per share in 2006.  In 2007, the                Company increased its quarterly dividend 6.1%, to $0.35 per                share.  An active stock repurchase program has also been                consistently used by the Company to manage capital and increase earnings                per share.  The Company repurchased 15,200 and 59,500 shares                during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.  As                of September 30, 2007, the Company has repurchased 2,996,304 shares                at a                cost of $62.4 million, since its                inception. |

|   | • | In                recent years the Bank has opened new offices in the Des Moines                metropolitan area, where population growth trends are                positive.  In August 2006, the Bank opened a new branch office                in West Des Moines, Iowa near Jordan Town Center Mall.  We                believe that this strategy will result in long-term loan and deposit                growth for the Company, but will negatively impact short-term earnings                until each de novo branch achieves                profitability. |
|--------|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|    | • | Consistent                with the Bank’s emphasis on attracting and retaining core deposits, growth                in deposit fees, including overdraft fees, continued a strong positive                trend. |
|--------------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | • | The                Company continues to be liability sensitive. The growth of                interest-bearing liabilities primarily reflects the growth of higher                cost                certificates of deposit, including brokered certificates of                deposit.  Also contributing to the liability sensitivity of the                Company is the continuing shift of lower cost non-maturing deposits                into                higher cost short-term certificates of                deposit. |
|--------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | • | The                Company began utilizing brokered certificates of deposits in 2005                as an                alternative funding source.  At September 30, 2007, the Company                had brokered certificates of deposit of $30.4 million, compared to                $29.8                million at September 30, 2006. |
|--------|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | • | Management                believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.  The                allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans was 155% at September                30,                2007.  Net annualized chargeoffs as of September 30, 2007 were                0.03% of total loans and have averaged 0.04% of total loans for the                past                five years.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2007,                the Company’s net loan portfolio increased $11.6 million, or                2.6%.  The increase was due to increases in commercial real                estate and consumer loans, offset in part by decreases in multifamily                and                one-to four-family real estate loans.  The Company’s provision                for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30,                2007 was                $245,000 and $335,000 respectively. |

|   | • | Purchases                of out-of-state real estate loans remain an integral part of the                Company’s                business plan.  The Company has continued to purchase                out-of-state real estate loans to supplement local mortgage loan                originations and to diversify its mortgage loan portfolio                geographically. |
