TierOne Corporation and
Subsidiaries  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Unaudited)

# Note 1  Basis of
Presentation and Consolidation

TierOne
Corporation (Company) is a Wisconsin corporation headquartered in Lincoln,
Nebraska. TierOne Corporation is the holding company for TierOne Bank (Bank).
The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries, TMS Corporation of the Americas
(TMS) and United Farm & Ranch Management, Inc. (UFARM). TMS is
the holding company of TierOne Investments and Insurance, Inc. (d/b/a TierOne Financial),
a wholly owned subsidiary that administers the sale of securities and insurance products,
and TierOne Reinsurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary that reinsures credit life and
disability insurance policies. UFARM provides agricultural customers with professional
farm and ranch management and real estate brokerage services. The accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its wholly owned
subsidiaries.

The
assets of the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, primarily consist of 100% of the
Banks common stock. The Company has no significant independent source of income and
therefore depends on cash distributions from the Bank to meet its funding requirements.

The
accompanying interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2008 and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for interim periods.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial
information, in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and do not
include all of the information and notes required for complete, audited financial
statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the
results which may be expected for the entire calendar year 2008.

As
used in this report, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms we,
us, or our refer to the Company and the Bank.

# Note 2 
Termination of Acquisition Agreement

On
May 17, 2007, the Company, CapitalSource Inc. and CapitalSource TRS Inc. entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement). On March 20, 2008, the
Company terminated the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement,
either party had the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if the proposed merger was
not completed by February 17, 2008. No termination fee was payable by either company as a
result of the termination of the Merger Agreement.

# Note 3  Earnings
Per Share

Basic
earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised. Diluted earnings per share is computed after giving
consideration to the weighted average dilutive effect of our 2003 Stock Option Plan
shares and 2003 Management Recognition and Retention Plan shares. All stock options are
assumed to be 100% vested for purposes of EPS computations. Due to our net loss for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008, no potentially dilutive shares were included in
the loss per share calculation as including such shares would be anti-dilutive. The
following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS:

We
believe all unrealized losses as of June 30, 2008 to be market related, with no permanent
sector or issuer credit concerns or impairments. We had eight securities with unrealized
losses totaling $35,000 for 12 consecutive months or longer as of June 30, 2008. The
unrealized losses are believed to be temporary. Impairment is deemed
temporary if the positive evidence indicating that an investments carrying amount is
recoverable within a reasonable time period outweighs negative evidence to the contrary.
At June 30, 2008, we have the ability and intent to hold these securities until maturity.

Impaired  Loans.
Information  about our  impaired loans
and the allowance for loan losses related solely to impaired loans is as follows:

|(Dollars in thousands)                                         | June 30, 2008 | December 31, 2007
|-------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | -----------------

|Impaired loans (1)                                             |               |                  
|Allowance for loan losses related solely to impaired loans (2) |               |                  
|                                                              

|(1) | Impaired
loans are performing and nonperforming loans which management believes it will not
collect all principal and interest due under the original loan terms.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Allowance
for loan losses related solely to impaired loans is included in the total allowance for
loan losses of $64.8 million and $66.5 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The
decrease in our allowance for loan losses was primarily attributable to charge-offs
during the six months ended June 30, 2008. These charge-offs reduced the carrying value
of impaired loans to their estimated fair value.

# Note 6  Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill.          We
recorded goodwill as a result of our 2004 acquisition of United Nebraska
          Financial Co. (UNFC). In accordance with Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible           Assets, we tested this goodwill for impairment annually during
the third           quarter of each year, or between annual assessment dates whenever
events or           significant changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
may be           impaired. We performed a goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2008
due to           adverse changes in the business climate. As a result of a decline in the
market           value of our common stock to levels below our book value, we determined
that the           entire amount of our goodwill was impaired, and we recorded a $42.1
million           goodwill impairment charge to write-off our goodwill at March 31, 2008.
The           changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three and six months
ended           June 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

|                                                         | Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30,

# Note 7  Mortgage
Servicing Rights

On
January 1, 2007, we adopted SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets
 an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140(SFAS No. 156). In
accordance with SFAS No. 156, we utilize the amortization method for all of our mortgage
servicing right assets, thus, carrying our mortgage servicing rights at the lower of
cost or market (fair value). Under the amortization method, we amortize mortgage
servicing rights in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income. Income
generated as a result of new servicing assets is reported as net gain on sale of loans in
the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Loan servicing fees, net of amortization of
mortgage servicing rights, are recorded in fees and service charges in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

We
primarily service one-to-four family residential mortgage loans that comprise a single
class of servicing assets. We obtain mortgage servicing right assets when we deliver
loans, both originated and purchased, as an agent into the secondary market on
a servicing-retained basis. Initial fair value of the servicing right is calculated by a
discounted cash flow model based on market value assumptions at the time of origination.

The
balance of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, net of valuation allowances, at June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007 was $16.2 million and $14.5 million, respectively. The
following are the key assumptions used in measuring the fair values of capitalized
mortgage servicing rights and the sensitivity of the fair values to changes in those
assumptions:

|(Dollars in thousands)             | June 30, 2008   | December 31, 2007
|---------------------------------- | --------------- | -----------------
|Serviced loan portfolio balance    | $1,576,710      | $1,459,498       
|Fair value                         | $18,248         | $18,310          
|Prepayment speed                   | 6.70% - 49.47%  | 6.62% - 26.07%   
|Weighted average prepayment speed  | 11.09%          | 10.37%           
|Fair value with 10% adverse change | $17,591         | $17,860          
|Fair value with 20% adverse change | $16,912         | $17,166          
|Discount rate                      | 10.50% - 14.50% | 9.50% - 13.00%   
|Weighted average discount rate     | 11.79%          | 10.63%           
|Fair value with 10% adverse change | $16,868         | $17,866          
|Fair value with 20% adverse change | $16,269         | $17,178          
|                                  

The
sensitivity of the fair values is hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the
figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a variation in assumptions generally
cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the change
in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the table, the effect of a variation in a
particular assumption on the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated
without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one assumption may result in
changes in another that might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Mortgage
 Servicing  Rights  Valuation  Allowance.  The  valuation  allowance on mortgage
 servicing  rights is  summarized in the following table for the periods presented:

|                                                | Three Months Ended

|Changes in mortgage servicing valuation reserve |                             |                          
|                                               
|Balance at end of period                        |                             |                          
|                                               

We
evaluate the fair value of mortgage servicing rights on a quarterly basis using current
prepayment speeds, cash flow and discount rate estimates. Changes in these estimates
impact fair value and could require us to record a valuation allowance or recovery. The
amortization expense and valuation adjustment are recorded as a reduction of fees and
service charges in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

# Note 9  FHLBank
Topeka Advances and Other Borrowings

At
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we were indebted on notes as shown in the following
table:

|(Dollars in thousands)                  | June 30, 2008 | December 31, 2007
|--------------------------------------- | ------------- | -----------------
|Permanent fixed-rate notes payable to   |               |

|Weighted average interest rate          |               |                  
|                                       

The
convertible fixed-rate notes are convertible to adjustable-rate notes at the option of the
FHLBank Topeka (FHLBank). We did not have an outstanding balance on our
FHLBank line of credit at both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The line of credit
with the FHLBank expires in November 2008. We expect the line of credit agreement to be
renewed in the ordinary course of business due to our current blanket collateral agreement
with the FHLBank.

Pursuant
to our blanket collateral agreement with the FHLBank, such advances are secured by our
qualifying residential, multi-family residential and commercial real estate mortgages,
residential construction, commercial construction and agricultural real estate loans.
Under our blanket collateral agreement with the FHLBank, our borrowing capacity at June
30, 2008 was $756.0 million. Other qualifying collateral can be pledged in the event
additional borrowing capacity is required.

# Note 10 
Stock-Based Benefit Plans

General.          We
account for our stock-based benefit plans using SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
No. 123(R)). SFAS No. 123(R)           requires that compensation expense related
to stock-based payment transactions           be recognized in the financial statements
and that expense be measured based on           the fair value of the equity or liability
instrument issued. SFAS No. 123(R)           also requires that forfeitures be estimated
over the vesting period of the           instrument.

Stock-Based
Employee Compensation Expense. Amounts recognized in the financial
statements with respect to our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and
stock-based employee compensation plans are presented in the following table:

Employee
Stock Ownership Plan.Concurrent with the conversion from mutual to stock
ownership, we established an ESOP for the benefit of our employees. The ESOP is a
qualified pension plan under Internal Revenue Service guidelines that covers all full-time
employees who have completed 1,000 hours of service. Upon formation, the ESOP
purchased 1,806,006 shares of common stock issued in the initial public offering with the
proceeds of an $18,060,060 loan from the Company.

We
account for our ESOP in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Statement of Position 93-6, Employers Accounting for Employee
Stock Ownership Plans. Accordingly, expense is recognized based on the market value
(average stock price) of shares scheduled to be released from the ESOP trust. The excess
fair value of ESOP shares over cost is recorded as compensation expense but is not
deductible for tax purposes. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, we
report compensation expense equal to the average market price of the shares and the shares
become outstanding for EPS computations. Our contributions and dividends on allocated and
unallocated ESOP shares are used to pay down the loan. Accordingly, we have recorded the
obligation with an offsetting amount of unearned compensation in stockholders equity
in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

awarded by the MRRP vest to participants at the rate of 20% per year. Compensation expense
for this plan is being recorded over a 60-month period, using the straight-line
amortization method adjusted for forfeitures, and is based on the market value of our
stock as of the date the awards were made. Stockholders approved 903,003 shares to be
granted under the MRRP and 95,283 shares are still available for future grants as of June
30, 2008. The following table summarizes shares of our common stock that were subject to
award and have been granted pursuant to the MRRP as of June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Compensation
expense related to the MRRP totaled $228,000 and $726,000 for the three month periods
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Compensation expense related to the MRRP
totaled $954,000 and $1.5 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of outstanding shares awarded by
the MRRP was $20.37 and $18.64 at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of June 30,
2008, we had $317,000 of total unrecognized employee compensation expense related to
unvested MRRP shares which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
26 months. We realized excess tax benefits related to MRRP shares of $10,000 and $5,000
during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We realized excess tax
benefits related to MRRP shares of $10,000 and $13,000 during the six months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Stock
Option Plan. We established the 2003 Stock Option Plan (SOP)
under which 2,257,508 shares of our common stock were reserved for the grant of stock
options to directors, officers and employees. Stock options awarded under the SOP vest to
participants at the rate of 20% per year. Compensation expense for this plan is being
recorded over a 60-month period, using the straight-line amortization method adjusted for
forfeitures, and is based on the fair value of our stock options as of the date the awards
were made. The exercise price of the options is equal to the market price of the common
stock on the grant date. Stockholders approved 2,257,508 stock options to be granted under
the SOP and 359,758 of these stock options remain available for future grants as of June
30, 2008.

The
fair value of each option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes
model. The dividend yield was calculated based on the annual dividends paid and the
12-month average closing stock price at the time of the grant. Expected volatility was
based on historical volatility of our stock price at the date of grant. We have utilized
historical experience to determine the expected life of the stock options and to estimate
future forfeitures. All inputs into the Black-Scholes model are estimates at the time of
the grant. Actual results in the future could materially differ from these estimates;
however, such results would not impact future reported net income.

# Note 11 
Unrecognized Tax Benefits

We
adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes 
an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, on January 1, 2007 and, as a result,
recognized no material adjustment in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
Unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $737,000 at June 30,
2008. Unrecognized tax benefits of $163,000 and interest and penalties of $87,000 would
favorably affect our effective tax rate if recognized in future periods. Unrecognized tax
benefits of $543,000 are related to our UNFC acquisition and would reduce other intangible
assets if recognized in future periods. The following table summarizes our unrecognized
tax benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2008:

|(Dollars in thousands)                                                             | Unrecognized TaxBenefits

Any
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in income tax
expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. At June 30, 2008, we had
approximately $87,000 of accrued interest payable related to uncertain tax positions
recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

We
anticipate that a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits of up to $566,000 is reasonably
possible during the next 12 months. This potential reduction is primarily attributable to

# Note 12  Fair
Value Measurements

Effective
January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, for financial assets and financial liabilities. In accordance with FASB
Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, we delayed
application of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until
January 1, 2009. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

SFAS
No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value
measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability
occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a
principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in
the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or
liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a
transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date
to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving
such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are
buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (a) independent, (b) knowledgeable,
(c) able to transact, and (d) willing to transact.

SFAS
No. 157 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market
approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices
and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or
comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to
convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a
discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be
required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation
techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs
may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from
independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting
entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the
circumstances. In that regard, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for
valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

25

---

The fair value hierarchy is as
follows:

| |  | Level
1 Inputs  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the
measurement date.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Level
2 Inputs  Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might
include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices
for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs
other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest
rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived
principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Level
3 Inputs  Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of
assets or liabilities that reflect an entitys own assumptions about the assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In
general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted
market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that
primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be
made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments
may include amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality and creditworthiness, among
other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are
applied consistently over time. Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value
calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future
fair values. While management believes our valuation methodologies are appropriate and
consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or
assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a
different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

A
description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as
well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation
hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of our
financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value effective January 1,
2008.

The
following disclosures exclude certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities which are
deferred under the provisions of FASB Staff Position 157-2. These include foreclosed real
estate, long-lived assets, goodwill and core deposit premiums, which are all written down
to fair value upon impairment. The FASBs deferral is intended to allow additional
time to consider the effect of various implementation issues relating to these
non-financial instruments and defers disclosures under SFAS No. 157 until
January 1, 2009.

# Valuation methods for
instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The
following is a description of our valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at
fair value on a recurring basis:

Investment
Securities, Available for Sale  This portfolio comprises the majority
of the assets which we record at fair value. Securities classified as available for sale
which include U.S. Government securities and agency obligations, corporate securities and
Asset Management Fund, are priced utilizing observable data from an active market. These
measurements are classified as Level 1.

Municipal
obligations, mortgage-backed securities and agency equity securities are valued using a
type of matrix, or grid, pricing in which securities are benchmarked against the treasury
rate based on credit rating. These model and matrix measurements are classified as
Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives.          Our
derivative instruments are loan commitments and forward loan sales related           to
personal mortgage loan origination activity. The fair values of mortgage loan
          commitments and forward sales contracts are based on quoted prices for similar
          loans in the secondary market. However, these prices are adjusted by a factor
          which considers the likelihood that the commitment will ultimately result in a
          closed loan. Based on the unobservable nature of this adjustment, these
          measurements are classified as Level 3. The fair value of derivatives was
          $388,000 and $136,000 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The
          $252,000 change in the fair value amount is included in the gain on the sale of
          loans in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

# Valuation methods for
instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

The
following is a description of our valuation methodologies used for other financial
instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Except as noted below for
impaired loans, no fair value adjustments on these instruments were recognized in the
current period.

Collateral
Dependent Impaired Loans. While the overall loan portfolio is not carried
at fair value, adjustments are recorded on certain loans to reflect partial write-downs
that are based on the value of the underlying collateral. In determining the value of real
estate collateral, we rely on external appraisals and assessment of property values by our
internal staff. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety
of sources, including external estimates of value and judgments based on the experience
and expertise of internal specialists. Because many of these inputs are not observable,
the measurements are classified as Level 3. The carrying value of these impaired
loans was $148.0 million at June 30, 2008. Charge-offs on impaired loans during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were $42.1 million and $70.9 million,
respectively. The related allowance decreased by $19.4 million and $11.9 million for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The allowance for loan losses
related to impaired loans was $12.7 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $24.6 million at
December 31, 2007.

Loans
Held for Sale. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market
value. The portfolio consists primarily of fixed rate single-family residential real
estate loans.

Single-family
residential real estate loans loan measurements are based on quoted market prices for
similar loans in the secondary market. These measurements are classified as Level 2 as
they utilize quoted market prices for similar assets in an active market.

FHLBank
Topeka Stock  At June 30, 2008, we held $67.2 million of FHLBank
Topeka stock which represents our carrying value which is approximately equal to fair
value. Fair value measurements for these securities are classified as Level 3 based on
their undeliverable nature related to credit risk.

Mortgage
Servicing Rights.We initially measure our mortgage servicing rights at
fair value, and amortize them over the period of estimated net servicing income. They are
periodically assessed for impairment based on fair value at the reporting date. Mortgage
servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices.
Accordingly, the fair value is estimated based on a valuation model which calculates the
present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions
that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including
estimates of prepayment speeds, market discount rates, cost to service, float earnings
rates and other ancillary income, including late fees. The fair value measurements are
classified as Level 3. A valuation allowance of $11,000 was recorded as a reduction
of fees and services charges during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The valuation
allowance was zero at December 31, 2007.

Effective
January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities  Including an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115. SFAS No. 159 allows us to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at
specified election dates. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
measurement option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting
date. The fair value option (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with certain
exceptions, thus we may record identical financial assets and liabilities at fair value or
by another measurement basis permitted under generally accepted accounting principals, (b)
is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs) and (c) is applied only to entire
instruments and not to portions of instruments. Adoption of SFAS No. 159 on January 1,
2008 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

# Item 2 - Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of      Operations.

The
following is a discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and
results of operations including information on the Companys critical accounting
policies, asset/liability management, liquidity and capital resources and contractual
obligations. Information contained in this Managements Discussion and Analysis
should be read in conjunction with the disclosure regarding Forward-Looking Statements and
the risk factors described in Part 2, Item 1A. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

# General

TierOne
Bank (Bank), a subsidiary of TierOne Corporation (Company), is a
$3.2 billion federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Established in 1907, the Bank offers customers a wide variety of full-service consumer,
commercial and agricultural banking products and services through a network of 69 banking
offices located in Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas. Product offerings include residential,
commercial and agricultural real estate loans; consumer, construction, business and
agricultural operating loans; warehouse mortgage lines of credit; consumer and business
checking and savings plans; investment and insurance services; and telephone and internet
banking.

Our
results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the
difference between the interest earned on our assets, primarily our loan and securities
portfolios, and our cost of funds, which consists of the interest paid on our deposits and
borrowings. Our net income is also affected by our provision for loan losses, noninterest
income, noninterest expense and income tax expense. Noninterest income generally includes
fees and service charges, debit card fees, net income from real estate operations, net
gain on sales of investment securities, loans held for sale and real estate owned and
other operating income. Noninterest expense consists of salaries and employee benefits,
occupancy, data processing, advertising and other operating expense. Our earnings are
significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly
changes in market interest rates and U.S. Treasury yield curves, governmental policies and
actions of regulatory authorities.

As
used in this report, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms we,
us, or our refer to the Company and the Bank.

# Recent Developments

Termination
of Acquisition Agreement. On May 17, 2007, we entered into and announced an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) with CapitalSource Inc. and
CapitalSource TRS Inc. On March 20, 2008, our Board of Directors terminated the Merger
Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, either party had the right to
terminate the Merger Agreement if the proposed merger was not completed by February 17,
2008. No termination fee was payable by either company as a result of the termination of
the Merger Agreement.

TransLand
Financial Services Loan Sale.On June 25, 2008, we announced the sale of
over 300 delinquent residential construction loans previously originated by TransLand
Financial Services, Inc. (TransLand), a Florida-based mortgage brokerage firm. This
sale comprised $12.7 million, net of charge-offs, of our total nonperforming residential construction loans.

Loan
Production Office Closings.On June 30, 2008, we announced the closing of
all of our loan production offices in an effort to focus our lending activity in our
primary market area of Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas. The lending offices being closed are
located in Phoenix, Arizona; Colorado Springs, Denver and Fort Collins, Colorado; Orlando,
Florida; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Las Vegas, Nevada and Charlotte and Raleigh, North
Carolina. We will continue to service loans made to existing customers. The three Colorado
offices were closed in July 2008. The Las Vegas, Phoenix and Raleigh offices will close
during the third quarter of 2008. At the current time, customer transition and collection support functions for existing
customers will continue in Charlotte, Minneapolis and Orlando.

# Critical Accounting
Policies

Various
elements of our accounting policies, by nature, are inherently subject to estimation
techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Our policies with
respect to the methodologies used to recognize income, determine the allowance for loan
losses, evaluating investment and mortgage-backed securities for impairment, evaluating
goodwill and other intangible assets, valuation of mortgage servicing rights, valuation
and measurement of derivatives and commitments, valuation of real estate owned and
estimating income taxes are our most critical accounting policies. These policies are
important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations,
involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and
subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain
matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in
material differences in our reported financial condition and results of operations.

Income
Recognition. We recognize interest income by methods that conform to U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the event management
believes collection of all or a portion of contractual interest on a loan has become
doubtful, which generally occurs after a loan is contractually delinquent 90 days or more,
we discontinue the accrual of interest and charge-off all previously accrued interest.
Interest received on nonperforming loans is included in income only if principal recovery
is reasonably assured. A nonperforming loan is restored to accrual status when it is
brought current and the collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is
no longer in doubt.

31

---

Allowance
for Loan Losses. We have identified the allowance for loan losses as a
critical accounting policy where amounts are subject to material variation. This policy is
significantly affected by our judgment and uncertainties and there is a likelihood that
materially different amounts could be reported under different, but reasonably plausible,
conditions or assumptions. The allowance for loan losses is considered a critical
accounting estimate because there is a large degree of judgment in:

| |  | Assigning
individual loans to specific risk levels (pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful
and loss);
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Valuing
the underlying collateral securing the loans;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------

| |  | Determining
the appropriate reserve factor to be applied to specific risk levels for special mention
loans and those adversely classified (substandard, doubtful and loss); and
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Determining
reserve factors to be applied to pass loans based upon loan type.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We
establish provisions for loan losses, which are charges to our operating results, in order
to maintain a level of total allowance for loan losses that, in managements belief,
covers all known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at
each reporting date. Management reviews the loan portfolio no less frequently than
quarterly in order to identify those inherent losses and to assess the overall collection
probability of the loan portfolio. Managements review includes a quantitative
analysis by loan category, using historical loss experience, classifying loans pursuant to
a grading system and consideration of a series of qualitative loss factors. The evaluation
process includes, among other things:

| |  | Assigning
individual loans to specific risk levels (pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful
and loss);
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Trends
and levels of delinquent, nonperforming or "impaired" loans;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Trends
and levels of charge-offs and recoveries;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------

| |  | Underwriting
terms or guarantees for loans;
| | - | -------------------------------------------

| |  | Impact
of changes in underwriting standards, risk tolerances or other changes in lending
practices;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Changes
in the value of collateral securing loans;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------

| |  | Total
loans outstanding and the volume of loan originations;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Type,
size, terms and geographic concentration of loans held;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Changes
in qualifications or experience of the lending staff;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Changes
in local or national economic or industry conditions;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Number
of loans requiring heightened management oversight;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Changes
in credit concentration; and
| | - | ------------------------------------

| |  | Changes
in regulatory requirements.
| | - | -----------------------------------

This
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to
significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events occur.

32

---

The
allowance for loan losses has two elements. The first element is an allocated allowance
established for specific loans identified by the credit review function that are evaluated
individually for impairment and are considered to be impaired. A loan is considered
impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be
unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured by:

| |  | The
fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | The
present value of expected future cash flows; or
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------

| |  | The
loans observable market price.
| | - | -----------------------------------

The second element is an estimated
allowance established for losses which are probable and reasonable to estimate on each
category of outstanding loans. While management uses available information to recognize
probable losses on loans inherent in the portfolio, future additions to the allowance may
be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to
recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to
them at the time of their examination.

Investment
and Mortgage-Backed Securities. We evaluate our available for sale and held
to maturity investment securities for impairment on a quarterly basis. An impairment
charge in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is recognized when the decline in the
fair value of investment securities below their cost basis is determined to be
other-than-temporary. Various factors are utilized in determining whether we should record
an impairment charge, including, but not limited to, the length of time and extent to
which the fair value has been less than its cost basis and our ability and intent to hold
the investment security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated
recovery in fair value.

Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets. We recorded goodwill as a result of our 2004
acquisition of United Nebraska Financial Co. (UNFC). We tested this goodwill
for impairment annually during the third quarter of each year, or between annual
assessment dates whenever events or significant changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may be impaired. We performed a goodwill impairment test as of March 31,
2008 due to adverse changes in the business climate. As a result of a decline in the
market value of our common stock to levels below our book value, we determined that the
entire amount of our goodwill was impaired, and we recorded a $42.1 million goodwill
impairment charge to write-off our goodwill at March 31, 2008.

The
value of core deposit intangible assets acquired in connection with the UNFC transaction
and our acquisition of Marine Banks banking office in Omaha, Nebraska, which is
subject to amortization, is included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition
as other intangible assets. Determining the amount of identifiable intangible assets and
their average lives involves multiple assumptions and estimates and is typically
determined by performing a discounted cash flow analysis, which involves a combination of
any or all of the following assumptions: customer attrition, account runoff, alternative
funding costs, deposit servicing costs and discount rates. Core deposit intangible assets
are amortized using an accelerated method of amortization which is recorded in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations as other operating expense.

33

---

We
review our core deposit intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that we may not recover our investment in the underlying assets or
liabilities which gave rise to the identifiable intangible assets. No events or
circumstances triggered an impairment analysis of our core deposit intangible assets
during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Mortgage
Servicing Rights.On January 1, 2007 we adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets  an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140(SFAS No. 156). In
accordance with SFAS No. 156, we utilize the amortization method for all of our mortgage
servicing right assets, thus, carrying our mortgage servicing rights at the lower of
cost or market (fair value). Under the amortization method, we amortize mortgage
servicing rights in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income. Income
generated as a result of new servicing assets is reported as net gain on sale of loans
held for sale in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Loan servicing fees, net of
amortization of mortgage servicing rights, is recorded in fees and service charges in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We
capitalize the estimated value of mortgage servicing rights upon the sale of loans. The
estimated value takes into consideration contractually known amounts, such as loan
balance, term and interest rate. These estimates are impacted by loan prepayment speeds,
servicing costs and discount rates used to compute a present value of the cash flow
stream. We evaluate the fair value of mortgage servicing rights on a quarterly basis using
current prepayment speed, cash flow and discount rate estimates. Changes in these
estimates impact fair value and could require us to record a valuation allowance or
recovery. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is highly sensitive to changes in
assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions have the most significant impact on
the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. Generally, as interest rates decline,
prepayments accelerate with increased refinance activity, which results in a decrease in
the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. As interest rates rise, prepayments generally
slow, which results in an increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. All
assumptions are reviewed for reasonableness on a quarterly basis and adjusted as necessary
to reflect current and anticipated market conditions. Thus, any measurement of fair value
is limited by the conditions existing and the assumptions utilized as of a particular
point in time, and those assumptions may not be appropriate if applied at a different
point in time. We currently do not utilize direct financial hedges to mitigate the effect
of changes in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights.

Derivatives
and Commitments.We account for our derivatives and hedging activities in
accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activity, as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments
and Certain Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement No. 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

In
the normal course of business, we enter into contractual commitments, including loan
commitments and rate lock commitments, to extend credit to finance residential mortgages.
These commitments, which contain fixed expiration dates, offer the borrower an interest
rate guarantee provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines and closes within the time
frame established by us. Interest rate risk arises on these commitments and subsequently
closed loans if interest rates increase or decrease between the time of the interest rate
lock and the delivery of the loan to the investor. Loan commitments related to mortgage
loans that are intended to be sold are considered derivatives in accordance with the
guidance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, Written Loan Commitments Recorded at
Fair Value Through Earnings. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivatives at the
end of the reporting period is based on a quoted market price that closely approximates
the amount that would have been recognized if the loan commitment was funded and sold.

To
mitigate the effect of interest rate risk inherent in providing loan commitments, we hedge
our commitments by entering into mandatory or best efforts delivery forward sale
contracts. These forward contracts are marked-to-market through earnings and are not
designated as accounting hedges under SFAS No. 133. The change in the fair value of loan
commitments and the change in the fair value of forward sales contracts generally move in
opposite directions and, accordingly, the impact of changes in these valuations on net
income during the loan commitment period is generally inconsequential.

Although
the forward loan sale contracts also serve as an economic hedge of loans held for sale,
forward contracts have not been designated as accounting hedges under SFAS No. 133 and,
accordingly, loans held for sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or market in
accordance with SFAS No. 65, Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities.

Real
Estate Owned. Property and other assets acquired through foreclosure of
defaulted mortgage or other collateralized loans are carried at the lower of cost or fair
value, less estimated costs to sell the property and other assets. The fair value of real
estate owned is generally determined from appraisals obtained by independent appraisers.
Development and improvement costs relating to such property are capitalized to the extent
they are deemed to be recoverable.

An
allowance for losses on real estate and other assets owned is designed to include amounts
for estimated losses as a result of impairment in value of real property after
repossession. We review our real estate owned for impairment in value whenever events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the property or other assets may not be
recoverable.

Income
Taxes. We estimate income taxes payable based on the amount we expect to
owe various tax authorities. Accrued income taxes represent the net estimated amount due
to, or to be received from, taxing authorities. In estimating accrued income taxes, we
assess the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment of transactions,
taking into account the applicable statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance in the
context of our tax position. Although we utilize current information to record income
taxes, underlying assumptions may change over time as a result of unanticipated events or
circumstances.

Under
current federal income tax rules we have the ability to carry back net operating losses
two years and recover federal income taxes paid. Therefore, we expect to generate cash
refunds for the federal net operating loss we will incur for 2008 and, if necessary, will continue to
have the ability to carry back such net operating loss in 2009. We utilize
this ability to carry back our federal net operating losses as well as our estimates of
future earnings to support our position that the benefit of our deferred tax assets will
be realized. If future pre-tax income should prove nonexistent or less than the amount of
temporary differences giving rise to the net deferred tax assets within the tax years to
which they may be applied, the assets will not be realized and our financial results will
be adversely affected.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 requires that we determine whether a tax position
is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any
related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position.
Once it is determined that a position meets the recognition threshold, the position is
measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.
Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in income tax
expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

# Comparison of Financial
Condition at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007

# Assets

General.          Our
total assets were $3.2 billion at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $303.5           million,
or 8.6%, compared to $3.5 billion at December 31, 2007.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $81.9 million
at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $159.6 million, or 66.1%, compared to $241.5 million at
December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in deposits and
FHLBank advances and an increase in investment securities which was partially offset by a decrease in net loans.

Investment
Securities. Our available for sale investment securities totaled $176.4
million at June 30 , 2008, an increase of $45.9 million, or 35.2%, compared to $130.5
million at December 31, 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, security
purchases totaled $260.3 million which were substantially offset by maturing investment
securities totaling $215.2 million. The securities purchased during 2008 were primarily
agency obligations that were purchased to collateralize deposits. Losses due to
other-than-temporary impairment were $594,000 on investment securities for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2008.

Mortgage-Backed
Securities. Our mortgage-backed securities, all of which are recorded as
available for sale, totaled $4.2 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $2.5 million, or
36.7%, compared to $6.7 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease in our mortgage-backed
securities was the result of $2.5 million of principal payments received during the six
months ended June 30, 2008.

Loans
Receivable. Net loans totaled $2.8 billion at June 30, 2008, a decrease of
$169.8 million, or 5.7%, compared to $3.0 billion at December 31, 2007. During the six
months ended June 30, 2008, we originated $650.2 million of loans (exclusive of warehouse
mortgage lines of credit) and purchased $250.4 million of loans. These increases were
offset by $912.4 million of principal repayments and charge-offs and $284.9 million of
loan sales. The following table details the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates
indicated:

our land and land development loans was $362.9 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of
$25.6 million, or 6.6%, compared to $388.6 million at December 31, 2007. The outstanding
balance (net of loans in process) of our commercial construction loans was $314.7 million
at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $74.2 million, or 19.1%, compared to $388.9 million at
December 31, 2007.

The
decrease in net loans at June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to a decrease in loan
originations. We have also tightened our credit policies and reduced our exposure in
selected business lines and geographic markets due to the continued deterioration in these
real estate markets and the economy in general.

Redefining
our Primary Lending Market Area.As previously discussed, on June 30, 2008
we announced the closing of all of our loan production offices in an effort to focus our
lending activity in our primary market area of Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas. At June 30,
2008, $1.5 billion, or 50.6%, of our total loans were secured by property located in
Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas. Loans collateralized by property in states in which we operated
a loan production office (Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada and North
Carolina) totaled $890.4 million, or 29.3%, of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2008.
Loans in all other states totaled $609.5 million, or 20.1%.

# Loan Quality and
Nonperforming Assets

Reports
listing all delinquent loans (loans 30 or more days delinquent), classified assets and
real estate owned are reviewed by management and our Board of Directors no less frequently
than quarterly. The procedures we take with respect to delinquencies vary depending on the
nature of the loan, period and cause of delinquency and whether the borrower is habitually
delinquent. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, we take a number
of steps to have the borrower cure the delinquency and restore the loan to current status.
In the event payment is not then received or the loan not otherwise satisfied, collection
letters are sent and telephone calls are generally made. If the loan is still not brought
current or satisfied and it becomes necessary for us to take legal action, which typically
occurs after a loan is 90 days or more delinquent, we will commence recovery proceedings
against the property securing the loan. If a legal action is instituted and the loan is
not brought current, paid in full, or refinanced before the recovery sale, the property
securing the loan generally is sold and, if purchased by us, becomes real estate owned or
a repossessed asset.

During
2007 and 2008, our levels of delinquent loans, nonperforming loans (loans 90 or more days
delinquent) and impaired loans increased significantly due to deterioration in the
nations economic conditions. The residential housing market did not show improvement
during the first six months of 2008, placing continued financial stress on customers,
particularly those engaged in residential development. This downturn in the residential
housing market has reduced demand and market prices for developed residential lots and
vacant land as well as completed homes. Where there is reduced demand for new homes,
certain residential developers may be required to hold their properties for longer periods
of time or be forced to sell their properties at a significantly reduced price which may
result in greater holding costs and lower or deferred cash inflows. These factors have
resulted in, and may continue to result in, greater credit risks for lenders.
Additionally, significantly tightened credit standards have made it more difficult for
potential borrowers to obtain financing and for current borrowers to refinance existing
loans.

Our
current levels of delinquent, nonperforming and impaired loans are primarily attributable
to the continued deterioration in the real estate market and the economy in general. We
have been further impacted by the erosion of property values and an overall increase in
housing inventory (both developed lots and completed houses) in many of the areas of the
country in which we do business and where the collateral for our loans resides.
Furthermore, we have tightened credit policies and limited our exposure in selected
business lines and geographic markets.

Nonperforming
Loans. At June 30, 2008, our nonperforming loans totaled $132.9 million of which $19.8
million, or 14.9%, was secured by property located in Nebraska, Iowa or Kansas. Loan
production office states had $104.0 million, or 78.2%, of total nonperforming loans at
June 30, 2008. Other states comprised the remaining $9.1 million, or 6.9%, of
nonperforming loans at June 30, 2008.

The
change in the nonperforming loans is primarily attributable to the following:

| | Land
and Land Development.At June 30, 2008, nonperforming land development
loans consisted of 16 residential properties in the Las Vegas, Nevada area totaling $55.2
million, seven residential properties in Nebraska totaling $5.7 million, three properties
in Minnesota totaling $1.1 million, one property in Illinois for $956,000 and two
properties in North Carolina totaling $459,000. With the exception of a very limited
number of local, long-term relationship borrowers, we have not committed to any
additional land and land development loans anywhere in the United States since the end of
2006.

| | Residential
Construction Loans. Due to the continued erosion of housing values and
increased housing inventory in several markets throughout the country, we have, and may
continue to experience, increased levels of nonperforming residential construction loans.
Nonperforming residential construction loans totaled $34.1 million at June 30, 2008, a
decrease of $23.7 million, or 41.0%, compared to $57.7 million at December 31, 2007. This
is primarily the result of net charge-offs of $26.8 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and the sale of the delinquent TransLand portfolio.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | On
June 25, 2008, we sold over 300 delinquent residential construction loans previously
originated by TransLand. This sale of TransLand-related loans, net of charge-offs,
represented $12.7 million of our total nonperforming residential construction loans.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Commercial
Construction.Nonperforming commercial construction loans totaled $20.3
million at June 30, 2008. The nonperforming commercial construction loans at June 30,
2008 consisted of two upscale condominium projects located in suburban Las Vegas. Many of
the units were under contract for purchase prior to the commencement of construction. On
the larger of the two projects, a court-appointed trustee has been working with the Bank
and three other participating financial institutions together with a local builder and
sales agent to complete the project and sell the remaining units.

Real
Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets. When we acquire real estate owned
property or other assets through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or repossession,
it is initially recorded at the lower of the recorded investment in the corresponding loan
or the fair value of the related assets at the date of foreclosure, less costs to sell. If
there is a further deterioration in value, we provide for a specific valuation allowance
and charge operations for the decline in value. We generally obtain an appraisal or
brokers price opinion on all real estate subject to foreclosure proceedings prior to
the time of foreclosure. It is our policy to require appraisals on a periodic basis on
foreclosed properties as well as conduct inspections of such properties.

Real
Estate Owned and Repossessed Asset Activity. The following table sets forth
the activity of our real estate owned and repossessed assets for the periods indicated:

|                                      | Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30,

|Loan foreclosures and other additions |                             |                          
|Sales                                 |                             |                          
|Provisions for losses                 |                             |                          
|Net loss on disposal                  |                             |                          
|                                     
|Balance at end of period              |                             |                          
|                                     

At
June 30, 2008, real estate owned consisted primarily of 58 residential properties totaling
$8.8 million and five commercial properties totaling $6.9 million. Our level of real
estate owned and repossessed assets may continue to increase in future periods due to
continued deterioration of the real estate market and the economy in general.

During
the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we charged-off, net of recoveries, $41.4
million and $926,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we
charged-off $69.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Charge-offs, net of recoveries,
during the six months ended June 30, 2008 consisted primarily of $26.4 million of land and
land development loans, $26.1 million of residential construction loans, $7.4 million of
one-to-four family residential loans, $4.9 million of commercial construction loans, $3.0
million of business loans and $1.7 million of consumer loans. Our charge-offs, net of
recoveries, as a percentage of average loans outstanding were 4.96% and 0.11% for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Elevated provisions for loan losses may
continue to negatively affect our financial performance in future periods.

We
generally discontinue funding of loans which become nonperforming or are deemed impaired
unless additional funding is required to protect the asset. In addition, due to certain
laws and regulations in selected states, some additional funding may be required. Our
reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $289,000 at June 30, 2008 compared to $2.7
million at December 31, 2007. Our reserve for unfunded loan commitments at June 30, 2008
represents potential future losses associated with unfunded loan commitments.

During
2007 and 2008, our levels of delinquent loans, nonperforming loans (loans 90 or more days
delinquent) and impaired loans increased significantly. We have been further impacted by
the erosion of property values and an overall increase in housing inventory (both
developed lots and completed houses) in many of the areas of the country in which we do
business and where the collateral for our loans resides. Additionally, significantly
tightened credit standards in the marketplace generally have made it more difficult for
potential borrowers to obtain financing and for current borrowers to refinance existing
loans. The following tables detail our nonperforming and impaired loans by loan type and state for the periods
presented:

Our
allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans totaled $12.7 million at June 30, 2008
compared to $24.6 million at December 31, 2007. Actual losses are dependent upon future
events and, as such, further changes to the level of allowance for loan losses may become
necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors.

FHLBank
Topeka Stock. FHLBank Topeka (FHLBank) stock totaled $67.2
million at June 30, 2008, an increase of $1.4 million, or 2.1%, compared to $65.8 million
at December 31, 2007. The increase was attributable to FHLBank dividends paid in stock
received during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Premises
and Equipment.Premises and equipment decreased $1.3 million, or 3.4%, to
$36.8 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $38.0 million at December 31, 2007. The
decrease was attributable to $2.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense which
was partially offset by $763,000 in asset additions.

Goodwill.   At
December 31, 2007 we had $42.1 million of goodwill that was           recorded as a
result of our 2004 acquisition of UNFC. In accordance with SFAS           No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets, we test this goodwill for           impairment annually
during the third quarter of each year, or between annual           assessment dates
whenever events or significant changes in circumstances           indicate that the
carrying value may be impaired. We performed a goodwill           impairment test as of
March 31, 2008 due to adverse changes in the business           climate. As a result of a
decline in the market value of our common stock to           levels below our book value,
we determined that the entire amount of our           goodwill was impaired, and we
recorded a $42.1 million goodwill impairment           charge to write-off our goodwill
at March 31, 2008.

Other
Intangible Assets. Other intangible assets totaled $6.0 million at June 30,
2008, a decrease of $780,000, or 11.6%, compared to $6.7 million at December 31, 2007 and
relates to the core deposit intangible assets recorded as a result of the UNFC acquisition
and the Marine Bank transaction. The decrease was attributable to $780,000 in amortization
during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Other
Assets.Other assets increased $25.3 million, or 41.4%, to $86.3 million at
June 30, 2008 compared to $61.0 million at December 31, 2007. Other assets consists
primarily of prepaid expenses, miscellaneous receivables and other assets. The increase in
other assets at June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to prepaid taxes. At June 30,
2008, other assets included deferred tax benefits totaling $14.0 million and income taxes receivable
of $27.8 million.

          million, or 7.2%, compared to $3.2 billion at December 31, 2007. The decline in
          total liabilities was attributable to a decrease  in deposits and FHLBank
          advances.

Our
transaction accounts (checking, savings and money market) totaled $1.0 billion at June 30,
2008, a decrease of $7.6 million, or 0.7%, compared to December 31, 2007. The number of
transaction accounts increased by a net 3,066 accounts, or 2.3%, to 136,466 accounts
compared to 133,400 accounts at December 31, 2007. The weighted average interest rate of
our transaction accounts was 1.08% at June 30, 2008 compared to 1.96% at December 31,
2007.  The decrease in deposits, particularly
time deposits, resulted from a less aggressive deposit pricing strategy due to the current
interest rate environment. The weighted average interest rate of our time deposits was 3.98% at
June 30, 2008 compared to 4.96% at December 31, 2007.

FHLBank
Advances and Other Borrowings. Our FHLBank advances and other borrowings
totaled $665.8 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $23.5 million, or 3.4%, compared to
$689.3 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease in FHLBank advances and other borrowings
at June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to the repayment of a $25.0 million FHLBank
convertible advance as it was called by the FHLBank. We did not have an outstanding
balance on our FHLBank line of credit at both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The
weighted average interest rate on our FHLBank advances and other borrowings was 4.40% at
June 30, 2008, a decrease of 10 basis points compared to 4.50% at December 31, 2007.

Accrued
Expenses and Other Liabilities. Our accrued expenses and other liabilities
totaled $29.3 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $6.6 million, or 18.4%, compared to
$35.9 million at December 31, 2007. The primary items comprising accrued expenses and
other liabilities are deferred compensation agreements, loan servicing payments and other
miscellaneous accrued expenses.

Stockholders
Equity. At June 30, 2008, stockholders equity totaled $271.7 million,
a decrease of $73.8 million, or 21.4%, compared to $345.6 million at December 31, 2007.
The decrease in stockholders equity was primarily the result of a net loss of $73.6
million and cash dividends of $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The
decrease was partially offset by $954,000 related to amortization of awards under the 2003
Management Recognition and Retention Plan (MRRP), $908,000 related to common
stock earned by participants in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and
$661,000 related to amortization of stock options under the 2003 Stock Option Plan
(SOP). We paid cash dividends of $0.08 per share on March 31, 2008 to
stockholders of record on March 14, 2008 and $0.04 per share on July 8, 2008 to
stockholders of record on June 30, 2008.

On
March 20, 2008, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of
up to 1,797,592 shares of our outstanding common stock. There is no stated expiration date
for this authorization. We repurchased 23,812 shares of our outstanding common stock to
support employee benefit programs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The
weighted average price paid per repurchased common share was $9.06 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2008, the total remaining common stock repurchase
authority was 1,773,780 shares.

Comparison of Operating Results
for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Net
Income (Loss). Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $12.7
million, or $0.75 per diluted and basic share, compared to net income of $2.5 million, or
$0.14 per diluted share ($0.15 per basic share), for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $73.6 million, or $4.36 per diluted
and basic share, compared to net income of $11.8 million, or $0.69 per diluted share
($0.71 per basic share), for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The net loss for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 included a non-cash, after-tax charge of $42.1 million for the
write-off of goodwill originally recorded in connection with the acquisition of UNFC. Our
results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were also negatively impacted by
provisions for loan losses totaling $27.7 million and $67.6 million, respectively.
Financial performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the
same periods in 2007 was also negatively impacted by a decline in net interest income due
to the tightening of interest rate margins and the nonaccrual of interest on nonperforming
loans.

Net
Interest Income. Net interest income is the most significant component of
our earnings and consists of interest income on interest-earning assets offset by interest
expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in net interest income result from
changes in volume, net interest spread and net interest margin. Volume relates to the
level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest spread
refers to the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin refers to net interest income divided by
total interest-earning assets and is influenced by the level and mix of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net
interest income, average interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 were negatively
affected by the increased balance of our nonperforming loans as we do not recognize
interest income on nonperforming loans (loans 90 days or more past due). We had
nonperforming loans totaling $132.9 million and $54.5 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.

Net
interest income before provision for loan losses totaled $22.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $7.8 million, or 25.6%, compared to $30.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in net interest income for
the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 was
primarily attributable to a 119 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on loans
receivable and a $239.1 million decline in the average balance of loans receivable. For
the six months ended June 30, 2008, our net interest income totaled $45.9 million, a
decrease of $15.9 million, or 25.8%, compared to $61.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. The decrease in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared to the same period in 2007 was primarily attributable to a 102 basis point
decline in the average yield earned on loans receivable and a $180.8 million decrease in
the average balance of loans receivable.

Our
average interest rate spread for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 2.66%
and 3.36%, respectively. Our average interest rate spread was 2.56% for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to 3.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease
in our average interest rate spread was primarily attributable to the decrease in the
average yield earned on loans receivable, an increased balance of nonperforming loans and
the decrease in the average balance of loans receivable.

The
average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.97% for the three months ended June 30,
2008, a 138 basis point decrease compared to 7.35% for the three months ended June 30,
2007. The average yield on interest-earning assets was 6.15% for the six months ended June
30, 2008, a 122 basis point decrease compared to 7.37% for the six months ended June 30,
2007. The decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 was primarily related to a decrease in the
average yield earned on loans receivable. Our average yield earned on loans receivable for
the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 6.31% and 7.50%, respectively. Our
average yield earned on loans receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
was 6.49% and 7.51%, respectively.

Our
net interest margin (net interest income (annualized) divided by average interest-earning
assets) declined to 2.97% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 3.79% for
the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our net interest margin was 2.91% for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to 3.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease
in our net interest margin was attributable to the factors described above.

We
anticipate that our average interest rate spread and net interest margin may stabilize
and/or improve during the remainder of 2008 due to the repricing or run-off of our time
deposits as they mature. However, continued deterioration of the real estate market and
the economy in general could lead to further increases in our level of nonperforming loans
and decreased lending volume which would have a negative impact on our average interest
rate spread and net interest margin.

Rate/Volume
Analysis. The following table shows the extent to which changes in interest
rates and changes in the volume of interest-related assets and liabilities affected our
interest income and expense during the periods indicated. For each category of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on
changes attributable to: (1) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year
volume), and (2) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate). The
combined effect of changes in both rate and volume has been allocated proportionately to
the change due to rate and the change due to volume.

Interest
Income.Our total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was
$45.9 million, a decrease of $13.6 million, or 22.9%, compared to $59.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007. Interest income on loans receivable totaled $43.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $12.7 million, or 22.5%,
compared to $56.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The average balance of
loans receivable decreased $239.1 million, or 7.9%, to $2.8 billion for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to $3.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The
average yield earned on loans receivable declined to 6.31% for the three months ended June
30, 2008 compared to 7.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

For
the six months ended June 30, 2008 our total interest income was $97.2 million, a decrease
of $21.1 million, or 17.8%, compared to $118.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007. Interest income on loans receivable totaled $91.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, a decrease of $21.2 million, or 18.9%, compared to $112.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007. The average balance of loans receivable decreased $180.8
million, or 6.0%, to $2.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $3.0
billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The average yield earned on loans
receivable declined to 6.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 7.51% for
the six months ended June 30, 2007.

The
decrease in interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to
the same period one year ago was primarily attributable to the decline in the average
yield earned on loans receivable. Additionally, interest income on loans receivable was
negatively affected by an increased balance of nonperforming loans as we do not recognize
interest income on loans 90 days or more past due. At June 30, 2008 our nonperforming
loans totaled $132.9 million, an increase of $78.4 million, or 143.8%, compared to $54.5
million at June 30, 2007.

and other borrowings declined $2.1 million, or 22.3%, to $7.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The
average balance of our FHLBank advances and other borrowings totaled $672.6 million for

The
decrease in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same

deposits, particularly time deposits and money market accounts, and the decrease in the
average balance of FHLBank advances and other borrowings.

Our
total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $51.2 million, a
decrease of $5.1 million, or 9.1%, compared to $56.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 2007. Interest expense on deposits totaled $36.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 2008, a decrease of $844,000, or 2.3%, compared to $37.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. The average balance of our interest-bearing deposits increased
$209.2 million, or 10.6%, to $2.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared
to $2.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The average rate paid on
interest-bearing deposits was 3.33% and 3.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and

for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $5.1 million, or 0.2%, compared to
$2.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

The
decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to the decrease in the average
balance of FHLBank advances and other borrowings.

Provision
for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses in order to
maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we believe, to the best of our
knowledge, covers all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable
and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. Management performs reviews no less
frequently than quarterly in order to identify these inherent losses and to assess the
overall collection probability for the loan portfolio. Our reviews consist of a
quantitative analysis by loan category, using historical loss experience, and
consideration of a series of qualitative loss factors (See Critical Accounting
Policies  Allowance for Loan Losses).

We
recorded a provision for loan losses of $27.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008 compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of
$17.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 our provision for loan losses
totaled $67.6 million, an increase of $55.9 million compared to $11.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in our provision for loan losses for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 was
primarily attributable to the increase in our nonperforming residential construction, land
and land development and commercial construction loans. The increase in our provision for
loan losses was also attributable to an increase in the level of loans which were deemed
impaired at June 30, 2008. Our provision for loan losses during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2008 was primarily related to Las Vegas, Nevada and
TransLand-related loans. The following table details nonperforming and impaired loans for
selected loan types for the periods presented:

|                          | Nonperforming Loans | Impaired Loans
|------------------------- | ------------------- | --------------

|Total                     |                     |               
|                         

Our
loan delinquency rate (30 or more days delinquent) at June 30, 2008 as a percentage of net
loans (before allowance for loan losses) was 6.45% compared to 6.08% at December 31, 2007
and 2.95% at June 30, 2007. Our level of nonperforming loans and loan delinquencies may
continue to increase for the foreseeable future due to current economic conditions.

|                                               

The
decrease in noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the
same period one year ago was primarily the result of the loss on sale of TransLand loans
and other-than-temporary impairment charges on investment securities offset by an increase
in deposit, loan and debit card-related fees and service charges.

Noninterest
income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $15.3 million, an increase of $928,000,
or 6.5%, compared to $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

|                                               

The
increase in noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the
same period one year ago was primarily attributable to a $1.0 million increase in
deposit, loan and debit card-related fees and service charges. The increase in deposit
account and debit card fees was largely due to an increase in account activity.
The increase in commissions and management fee income
was primarily attributable to fees collected by UFARM (a subsidiary that provides
agricultural customers with professional farm and ranch management and real estate
brokerage services) and TierOne Financial (a subsidiary that administers the sale of
securities and insurance products).

|                                          

The
decrease in noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the
same period one year ago was primarily the result of a $1.5 million reduction in employee
stock-based compensation expense, a $691,000 decline in professional services expense primarily associated with
the terminated Merger Agreement and
a $338,000 reduction in advertising expense which was partially offset by a $1.9 million
increase in other noninterest expense. The increase in other noninterest expense primarily
reflects expense associated with increased loan collection activities.

Our
noninterest expense increased by $42.3 million, or 95.6%, to $86.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $44.3 million for the six months ended June 30,

The
increase in noninterest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to goodwill impairment. The
increase in other noninterest expense is primarily related to loan collection activities.

Income
Tax Expense(Benefit).Our income tax expense decreased by $9.7 million for an
income tax benefit of $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to
income tax expense of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our income
tax expense decreased by $27.8 million for an income tax benefit of $19.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to income tax expense of $8.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in income tax expense for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 was primarily due to a
decrease in net income resulting from an increase in our provision for loan losses. The
effective income tax benefit rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 36.2%
compared to an effective income tax rate of 50.4% for the three months ended June 30,
2007. Our effective income tax benefit rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was
20.9% compared to an effective income tax rate of 41.4% for the six months ended June 30,
2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was
primarily attributable to the impact of permanent tax items in relation to our net income
(loss). The decrease in our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was
primarily attributable to the nonrecurring goodwill impairment charge which is a
nondeductible permanent tax item. Additionally, expenses initially considered
nondeductible totaling $2.0 million related to the Merger Agreement became deductible for
tax purposes as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement.

# Liquidity and Capital
Resources

Our
primary sources of funds are deposits; amortization of loans; loan prepayments and
maturity of loans; repayment, maturity or sale of investment and mortgage-backed
securities; and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the
amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment securities
are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments can be
greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We
utilize FHLBank advances and other borrowings and brokered time deposits as additional
funding sources.

We
actively manage our liquidity in an effort to maintain an adequate liquidity margin over
the level necessary to support expected and potential loan fundings and deposit
withdrawals. Our liquidity level may vary throughout the year, depending on economic
conditions, deposit fluctuations and loan funding needs. As of June 30, 2008, we believe
we have adequate liquidity to fund the daily operations of the Bank for the foreseeable future.

During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash provided by operating activities was $12.2
million. Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30,
2008 was $52.3 million and primarily related to cash inflows from matured investment
securities and loan payoffs and periodic payments partially offset by the purchase of
available for sale investment securities. Net cash used in financing activities was $224.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and consisted primarily of cash outflows
from a decline in deposits, repayment of a FHLBank advance and cash dividends paid on our
common stock.

Deposits,
particularly core deposits, provide a more preferable source of funding than FHLBank
advances and other borrowings. However, to the extent that competitive or market factors
do not allow us to meet our funding needs with deposits alone, FHLBank advances and other
borrowings provide a readily available alternative source of liquidity. The following
table details time deposits maturing during the next 12 months:

|(Dollars in thousands)                                 | Amount | Weighted Average Rate

|                                                      

We
anticipate that a significant portion of the maturing time deposits will be renewed with
us.

In
addition to cash flows generated by loan and securities payments and prepayments, we have
additional borrowing capacity to fund our asset growth. The average balance of our FHLBank
advances and other borrowings was $667.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared to $881.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. To date, substantially
all of our borrowings have consisted of FHLBank advances. Pursuant to blanket collateral
agreements with the FHLBank, we have pledged qualifying residential, multi-family
residential and commercial real estate mortgages, residential construction, commercial
construction and agricultural real estate loans as collateral for our FHLBank advances.

# Aggregate Contractual
Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We
believe we have sufficient liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund
maturing time deposits and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning
assets and to meet operating expenses. At June 30, 2008, we had the following contractual
obligations (excluding bank deposits and interest) and lending commitments:

We
have not used, and have no intention to use, any significant off-balance sheet financing
arrangements for liquidity purposes or otherwise. Our primary financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk are limited to loan servicing for others, our obligations to fund
loans to customers pursuant to existing commitments and commitments to purchase and sell
mortgage loans. In addition, we have certain risks due to limited recourse arrangements on
loans serviced for others and recourse obligations related to loan sales. At June 30,
2008, the maximum total dollar amount of such recourse was approximately $19.9 million.
Based on historical experience, at June 30, 2008, we had established a liability of
$761,000 with respect to this recourse obligation. In addition, we have not had, and have
no intention to have, any significant transactions, arrangements or other relationships
with any unconsolidated, special purpose entities.

# Regulatory Capital

We
are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking
agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and
possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative
measures that have been established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require that
we maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios (as set forth in the following table). Our
primary regulatory agency, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), requires
that we maintain minimum ratios of tangible capital (as defined in the regulations) of
1.5%, core capital (as defined) of 4.0% and total risk-based capital (as defined) of 8.0%.
As of June 30, 2008, we exceed all capital requirements to which we are subject.

At
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the most recent notifications from the OTS
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since the notification that we
believe have changed the Banks category. The actual capital amounts and ratios at
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are presented in the following table:

|                            | Actual | For Capital

# New Accounting
Pronouncements

For
a discussion regarding accounting pronouncements, interpretations, exposure drafts and
other formal accounting guidance and the impact of these on our financial condition and
results of operations, reference is made to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007. The following discussion identifies certain recently issued
accounting guidance.

# Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB No. 51(SFAS No. 160). The
objective of this statement is to improve the relevance, comparability and transparency of
the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial
statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards. SFAS No. 160 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not anticipate that the adoption
of SFAS No. 160 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations (SFAS No.
141R). The objective of this statement is to improve the relevance, representational
faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its
financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS No. 141R establishes
principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in
the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and determines what information
to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities  an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No.
161). The objective of this statement is to enhance disclosures to provide adequate
information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entitys financial
position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement requires enhanced
disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves
the transparency of financial reporting. Under SFAS No. 161, entities will be required to
provide enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity utilizes derivative instruments,
how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133
and its related interpretations and how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No.
161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2008. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 162 directs the
hierarchy to the entity, rather than the independent auditors, as the entity is
responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 162 is
effective 60 days following SEC approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to remove the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles from the
auditing standards. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

# Item 3 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

For
a discussion of our asset and liability management policies as well as the methods used to
manage our exposure to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest
rates, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations  Asset and Liability Management and Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2007. There has been no material change in our market risk
position since our prior disclosures.

# Item 4  Controls
and Procedures.

Our
management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of such evaluation to
ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries,
was made known to them in a timely manner by others within those entities, particularly
during the period in which this report was being prepared. There was no change in our
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this
report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

# PART II  OTHER
INFORMATION

# Item 1  Legal
Proceedings.

Except
litigation relating to certain goodwill claims against the United States as described
below, we are not involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal
proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. Such routine legal proceedings,
in the aggregate, are believed by management to be immaterial to our consolidated
financial statements.

On
October 31, 2006, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (Federal Claims Court)
issued an opinion finding the U.S. liable to the Bank for lost franchise value related to
our damages claim against the U.S. for breach of contract following changes to the rules
for computing our regulatory capital that were required by the adoption of the Financial
Institution Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. The Federal Claims Courts
opinion awarding the Bank $4.5 million in damages was appealed to the United States Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Court of Appeals) by the U.S. on December
29, 2006.

On
March 5, 2008, the Court of Appeals panel rendered a split decision. The majority found in
favor of the U.S. thereby reversing the Federal Claims Courts damage award. A
separate dissenting opinion would have sustained the Federal Claim Courts damage
award for the Bank. The Bank filed a petition for panel rehearing on April 17, 2008
seeking a review of the Court of Appeals decision to reverse the Federal Claims
Courts damage award. The Court of Appeals denied the Banks petition for
rehearing on June 19, 2008. The Bank is no longer pursuing further review of this case.

# Item 1A  Risk
Factors.

In
addition to other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the
following risk factors should be considered in evaluating our business. Additional risks
and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial
also may adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

# As a bank holding
company, our earnings are dependent upon the performance of the Bank and the Banks
subsidiaries.

Since
we are a holding company with no significant assets other than the Bank, we currently
depend upon dividends from the Bank for a substantial portion of our revenues. These
dividends are the primary funding source for the dividends we pay on our common stock. Our
ability to pay dividends will continue to depend in large part upon our receipt of
dividends or other capital distributions from the Bank. Various state and federal laws and
regulations limit the amount of dividends that a bank may pay to a parent holding company.
In addition, our right to participate in a distribution of assets upon the liquidation or
reorganization of a subsidiary may be subject to prior claims of the subsidiarys
creditors. In the event the Bank is unable to pay dividends to the Company, we may not be
able to service our debt, pay our obligations or pay dividends on our common stock. The
inability to receive dividends from the Bank could therefore have a material adverse
effect on our business, our financial condition and our results of operations.

# If economic conditions
decline further, our financial condition and results of operations could continue to be
adversely affected.

Our
operating results are affected by national and local economic and competitive conditions,
including changes in market interest rates, the strength of the local economy,
governmental policies of the communities in which we do business and actions of regulatory
authorities. A further decline in the local or national economy could continue to
adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Deterioration in
economic conditions could result in the following consequences, any of which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows:

| |  | A
decline in the demand for the products and services we offer;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | An
increase in nonperforming loans and loan charge-offs;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------

| |  | An
increase in provisions for loan losses;
| | - | ------------------------------------------

| |  | An
increase in losses on real estate owned (acquired through foreclosure); and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | A
migration from low-yielding or noninterest bearing deposits to higher-yielding deposit
products.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Our loan origination and
purchase activity is highly concentrated in certain types of loans.

At
June 30, 2008, $1.6 billion, or 53.8%, of our total loans consisted of multi-family
residential, commercial real estate, land and land development, commercial construction
and business loans. These types of loans generally expose a lender to a greater risk of
non-payment and loss than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans because repayment
of such loans is dependent upon the successful operation of the property and the income
stream of the borrowers. Additionally, these types of loans typically involve larger loan
balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to one-to-four family
residential mortgage loans. Also, many of the Banks commercial borrowers have more
than one loan outstanding. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan
or one credit relationship may expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss compared
to an adverse development with respect to a one-to-four family residential mortgage loan.

At
June 30, 2008, $326.9 million, or 10.8%, of our total loans consisted of residential
construction loans. Our portfolio of residential construction loans increased dramatically
in 2004, 2005 and 2006 as a result of our emphasis on loans with relatively higher yields,
adjustable interest rates and/or shorter terms to maturity. Risk of loss on a residential
construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the
propertys value when completed compared to the projected cost (including interest)
of construction and other assumptions, including the approximate time to sell the
property. Our ability to continue to originate and/or purchase residential construction
loans may be impaired by adverse changes in local and regional economic conditions in the
real estate markets, or by acts of nature. Due to the concentration of real estate
collateral, these events could have a material adverse impact on the value of collateral,
resulting in delinquencies and/or losses. Customer demand for loans secured by real estate
could be reduced by a weaker economy, an increase in unemployment, a decrease in real
estate values or an increase in interest rates.

# Our concentration of
loans in Nevada may expose us to increased credit risk that may cause us to record
additional provisions for loan losses and/or may result in future loan charge-offs.

At
June 30, 2008, $186.6 million, or 6.6%, of our net loans were collateralized by properties
in the state of Nevada, primarily in Las Vegas. Our loans in the Las Vegas area are
primarily composed of land development, commercial construction and residential
construction loans. At June 30, 2008, our nonperforming land development, commercial
construction and residential construction loans in the state of Nevada totaled $55.2
million, $20.3 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

# Our results of
operations are significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal
government and the governments of the states in which we operate.

The
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, also known as the Federal Reserve Board,
regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. Its policies determine in
large part our cost of funds for lending and investing and the return we earn on those
loans and investments, both of which impact our net interest margin, and can significantly
affect the value of financial instruments such as debt securities and mortgage servicing
rights. Its policies can also affect our borrowers, potentially increasing the risk that
they may fail to repay their loans. Changes in Federal Reserve Board policies are beyond
our control and difficult to predict or anticipate.

The
amount of income taxes we are required to pay on our earnings is based on federal and
state legislation and regulations. We have provided for current and deferred income taxes
in our financial statements, based on our results of operations, business activity, and
interpretations of tax statutes. We may take filing positions or follow tax strategies
that may be subject to challenge by federal and state taxing authorities. Our net income
and earnings per share may be reduced if a federal, state or local authority assessed
charges for taxes that have not been provided for in our consolidated financial
statements.

# If the interest payments
on our interest-bearing liabilities increase relative to the interest we earn on our
interest-earning assets, our net interest income may decline.

When
interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets,
a significant increase in market interest rates could adversely affect net interest
income. Conversely, a significant decrease in market interest rates could result in
increased net interest income. We seek to manage our exposure to interest rate
fluctuations. Changes in market interest rates however are neither predictable nor
controllable and may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of
operations.

Prevailing
interest rates may significantly affect the overall demand for loans and could also impact
the extent to which borrowers repay and refinance loans. Loan prepayments and
refinancings, as well as prepayments of mortgage-backed securities, may increase in a
declining interest rate environment. Call provisions associated with our investment in
U.S. government securities and agency obligations and corporate securities may also
negatively impact net interest income in a declining interest rate environment. Such
prepayment, refinancing and security call activity may negatively impact the yield of our
loan portfolio and investment and mortgage-backed security portfolios, as we would
reinvest the prepaid funds in a lower interest rate environment. Additionally,
adjustable-rate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities generally contain interim
and lifetime caps that limit the amount interest rates can increase or decrease at
repricing dates.

In
a decreasing interest rate environment, our level of core deposits may decline if our
depositors seek higher-yielding instruments or other investment products we are unwilling
to offer. This may increase our cost of funds and decrease our net interest margin to the
extent that alternative funding sources are utilized to fund our business activities. In
an increasing interest rate environment, depositors tend to prefer higher-yielding time
deposits which could adversely affect our net interest income if rates were to
subsequently decline.

# Potential future loan
losses may increase.

We
maintain an allowance for loan losses that represents managements best estimate of
probable losses within our existing loan portfolio. The level of the allowance for loan
losses reflects managements continuing evaluation of industry concentrations,
specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality, present
economic, political and regulatory conditions and unidentified losses inherent in the
current loan portfolio. During 2007 and the first six months of 2008, our levels of
delinquent loans, nonperforming loans (loans 90 or more days delinquent), impaired loans
and charge-offs increased significantly. These increases were primarily attributable to
the continued deterioration in the real estate market and the economy in general. We have
been further impacted by the erosion of property values and an overall increase in housing
inventory (both developed lots and completed houses) in many of the areas of the country
in which we do business and where the collateral for our loans resides. Additionally,
significantly tightened credit standards have made it more difficult for potential
borrowers to obtain financing and for current borrowers to refinance existing loans. If
the recent trend is prolonged and losses continue to increase, our results of operations
will continue to be negatively impacted.

# Our allowance for loan
losses may be inadequate.

An
inadequate allowance for loan losses could adversely affect our results of operations. We
are exposed to the risk that our customers may be unable to repay their loans according to
their terms and that any collateral securing the payment of their loans may not be
sufficient to assure full repayment. We evaluate the collectibility of our loan portfolio
and provide for an allowance for loan losses which is based on our historical loan loss
experience for each group of loans as further adjusted for specific factors.

If
our evaluation is incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover
losses inherent in the loan portfolio, resulting in additions to our allowance for loan
losses. Increases in the allowance for loan losses result in an expense for the period.
If, as a result of general economic conditions or a decrease in asset quality, management
determines that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses are warranted, we
may incur additional expenses. We can make no assurances that our allowance for loan
losses will be adequate to cover loan losses inherent in our portfolio.

Our
loans are primarily secured by real estate, including regional concentrations of loans in
areas of the United States that are susceptible to tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes or
other natural disasters. If a natural disaster were to occur in one of our major market
areas, loan losses could occur that are not incorporated in the existing allowance for
loan losses.

# We could be held
responsible for environmental liabilities of properties acquired through foreclosure.

70

---

If
we are forced to foreclose on a defaulted mortgage loan to recover our investment, we may
be subject to environmental liabilities related to the underlying real property. Hazardous
substances or wastes, contaminants, pollutants or sources thereof may be discovered on
properties under our ownership or after a sale to a third party. The amount of
environmental liability could exceed the value of the real property. There can be no
assurance that we would not be fully liable for the entire cost of any removal,
remediation or other clean-up on the acquired property, that the cost of removal and
clean-up would not exceed the value of the property or that costs could be recovered from
any third party. Additionally, it may be difficult or impossible to sell the property
prior to or following any environmental remediation.

# Our cost of funds may
increase as a result of general economic conditions, interest rates or competitive
pressures.

Our
cost of funds may increase because of general economic conditions, unfavorable conditions
in capital markets, interest rates or competitive pressures. We have traditionally
obtained funds primarily through deposits and borrowings. Generally, deposits are a
preferable source of funds than borrowings because interest rates paid for deposits are
typically less than interest rates charged for borrowings. If deposit growth is inadequate
to fund our operations we may have to rely on borrowings as a source of funds. Relying on
borrowings as a primary funding source may have an adverse impact on our net interest
margin.

# Competition could result
in our loan portfolios and deposit base declining.

The
banking and financial services businesses in our market areas are highly competitive. Our
market area has a high density of financial institutions, some of which have greater
financial resources, name recognition and market presence than us, and all of which are
our competitors. Competition within the banking, mortgage and finance industries may limit
our ability to attract and retain customers. Our competition for loans comes primarily
from commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage banking
companies, insurance companies, finance companies and credit unions. Our most direct
competition for deposits historically has come from commercial banks, savings banks,
savings and loan associations and credit unions. In addition, we face competition for
deposits from products offered by brokerage firms, insurance companies and other financial
intermediaries, such as money market and other mutual funds and annuities. If we are
unable to attract and retain customers, our loan and deposit growth may be inhibited which
could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

# Legislative and
regulatory issues could adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.

We
are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the OTS as our primary
federal regulator, and by the FDIC, which insures our deposits. As a member of the
FHLBank, we must also comply with applicable regulations of the Federal Housing Finance
Board and the FHLBank. Regulation by these agencies is intended primarily for the
protection of our depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund and not for the benefit of our
stockholders. Our activities are also regulated under consumer protections laws applicable
to our lending, deposit and other activities. A sufficient claim against us under these
laws could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of
operations.

# We may not be able to
retain or replace key members of management or attract and retain qualified customer
relationship managers.

We
depend on the services of existing management personnel to carry out our business and
investment strategies. It is critical that we are able to attract and retain management
and other qualified personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is significant in our
geographical market areas. The loss of services of any management personnel, or the
inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could have an adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on communications,
information, operating and financial control systems technology from third-party service
providers. An interruption in these third-party systems could have an adverse effect on
our business.

We
rely heavily on third-party service providers for much of our communications, information,
operating and financial control systems technology. Any failure, interruption or breach in
security of these systems could result in failures or interruptions in our customer
relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan servicing and loan origination
systems. We can make no assurances that such failures or interruptions will not occur or,
if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed by us or the third parties on
which we rely. Any failure or interruption could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of our third-party service
providers experience financial, operational or technological difficulties, or if there is
any other disruption in our relationships with them, we may be required to locate
alternative sources of such services. We can make no assurances that we could negotiate
terms that are favorable to us, or could obtain comparable services without the need to
expend substantial resources.

# Our stock price can be
volatile.

Our
stock price can fluctuate in response to a variety of factors, including; actual or
anticipated variations in quarterly operating results; changes in our stockholder dividend
policy; recommendations of securities analysts; and news media reports relating to trends,
concerns and other issues in the financial services industry. Other factors that may
influence our stock price include products or services offered by our competitors;
operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors or analysts deem
comparable to us; and changes in governmental regulations.

General
market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic conditions and political
conditions and events, such as future terrorist activities, economic slowdowns or
recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, also could cause our stock price
to decline regardless of our operating results.

# If we fail to maintain
effective systems of internal and disclosure control, we may not be able to accurately
report our financial results or prevent fraud.

72

---

Effective
internal and disclosure controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial
reports, to effectively prevent fraud and to operate successfully as a public company. If
we were unable to provide accurate and reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our
reputation and results of operations would be adversely effected. As part of our ongoing
monitoring of internal controls, we may discover material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies in our internal controls as defined under standards adopted by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) that require remediation. Under
PCAOB standards, a material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to
merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the companys financial
reporting.

Any
failure to maintain effective internal and disclosure controls, or to make necessary
improvements in such controls in a timely manner, could harm operating results or cause us
to fail in meeting our financial reporting obligations. Ineffective internal and
disclosure controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported
financial information, which would likely have a negative effect on our stock price.
