# Note 3 
Significant Accounting Policies

Allowance
for Loan Losses. We have identified the evaluation of the allowance for
loan losses as a critical accounting policy since these amounts are sensitive 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 for loans not classified.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------

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:

| |  | An
analysis of delinquency trends;
| | - | ----------------------------------

| |  | Nonperforming
loan trends;
| | - | --------------------------

| |  | Levels
of charge-offs and recoveries;
| | - | -------------------------------------

| |  | Prior
loss experience;
| | - | ----------------------

| |  | Total
loans outstanding;
| | - | ------------------------

| |  | Volume
of loan originations;
| | - | ----------------------------

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

| |  | Value
of collateral securing loans;
| | - | -----------------------------------

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

| |  | General
economic conditions.
| | - | ----------------------------

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

SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The
allowance for loan losses consists of 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
observable market price of the loan.
| | - | ----------------------------------------

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.

Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess price paid over
the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired in
connection with the August 27, 2004 acquisition of United Nebraska Financial Co.
(UNFC). In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible balances are not being amortized, but are tested for
impairment annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also
requires the intangible assets with estimated useful lives be amortized over their
respective estimated useful lives to their residual values and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets.

Our
policy is to evaluate annually the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill and
identifiable assets not subject to amortization. Goodwill was established as part of the
UNFC acquisition and supported by third-party valuations as of August 27, 2004. If the
carrying value of the goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of the goodwill, an
impairment loss would be recorded in an amount equal to that excess.

We
have identified a single reporting unit for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. The
impairment test is therefore performed on a consolidated basis. We perform our
goodwill impairment analysis on an annual basis during the third quarter.
Additional impairment analysis may be performed if circumstances or events occur which may
have an impact on the fair value of our goodwill. Generally, fair value represents a
multiple of earnings, or discounted projected cash flows. Potential impairment is
indicated when the carrying value of the entity, including goodwill, exceeds it fair
value. If potential for impairment exists, the fair value of the entity is subsequently
measured against the fair value of its underlying assets and liabilities, excluding
goodwill, to estimate an implied fair value of the entities goodwill. Impairment loss is
recognized for any excess of the carrying value of the entitys goodwill over the
implied fair value. We performed our impairment analysis as of September 30, 2005 and
concluded that no potential impairment of goodwill existed since the fair value of our
goodwill exceeded its carrying value.

TierOne Corporation and

Our
only identifiable intangible asset is the value of the core deposits acquired as part of
the UNFC transaction. 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. The core deposit intangible has been estimated
to have a 10-year life with an accelerated rate of amortization.

Mortgage
Servicing Rights.The Bank capitalizes the estimated value of mortgage
servicing rights upon the sale of loans. The Banks 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. Management evaluates 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 the Bank 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.

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.

TierOne Corporation and
SubsidiariesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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 (SAB) No. 105, Application of
Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments. 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 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.

Investment
Securities. We evaluate available for sale and held to maturity investment
securities for impairment on a quarterly basis. An impairment charge in the Consolidated
Statements of Income is recognized when the decline in the fair value of investment
securities below their cost basis is judged to be other-than-temporary. We consider
various factors in determining whether we should recognize 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 market value.

Income
Taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under the asset and liability method, we recognize deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. If
necessary, a valuation allowance would be established to adjust deferred tax assets to an
amount for which realization is more likely than not.

# Note 4  Earnings
Per Share

Basic
and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data are based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (ESOP) shares and 2003 Management Recognition and Retention Plan
(MRRP) shares not committed to be released are not considered to be
outstanding for purposes of EPS calculations. The basic EPS calculation excludes the
dilutive effect of all common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is further adjusted for
potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the reporting periods.
The Companys potentially dilutive common shares at September 30, 2005 represent
shares issuable under its 2003 Stock Option Plan and MRRP computed using the treasury
stock method. All stock options awarded are assumed to be 100% vested for purposes of the
EPS computations.

# Note 5  Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill
had a net carrying amount of $42.3 million at September 30, 2005. This amount represents
the excess price paid by the Company over the fair value of the tangible and intangible
assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of UNFC on August 27, 2004. The Company
evaluates goodwill for impairment annually in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets. There have been no changes in the carrying amount of
goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to impairment and we are not
aware of any facts or circumstances that would indicate our carrying value exceeded fair
value.

The
Companys only identifiable other intangible asset is the value of core deposits
acquired as part of the UNFC acquisition. The core deposit intangible has been estimated
to have a 10-year life, with an accelerated rate of amortization.

The
changes in the net carrying amounts of other intangible assets for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005 are as follows:

|                               | Three Months Ended
September 30, | Nine Months Ended

|Additions                      |                                  |                                
|Amortization expense           |                                  |                                
|                              
|Balance at end of period       |                                  |                                
|                              

Estimated
amortization expense for core deposit intangibles for the year ended December 31, 2005 and
five years thereafter is as follows:

Investment
and mortgage-backed securities available for sale in a continuous loss position for 12
months or longer consisted of 59 securities with unrealized losses of $540,000 at
September 30, 2005 as compared to one security with an unrealized loss of $73,000 at
December 31, 2004. The unrealized losses on these securities resulted from increases in market interest
rates and we do not deem the conditions that caused these losses to be other-than-temporary.

Stock-Based Benefit Plans

Management
Recognition and Retention Plan. The Company has in effect the MRRP, which
is a stock-based incentive plan. The following table summarizes shares of the
Companys common stock which were subject to award and have been granted pursuant to
the MRRP:

|                                                                     | September 30, 2005

|

The
shares awarded by the MRRP vest to participants at the rate of 20% per year. As a result,
expense for this plan is being recorded over a 60-month period and is based on the market
value of the Companys stock as of the date the awards were made. The remaining
unamortized cost of the MRRP shares acquired to date is reflected as a reduction in
stockholders equity. Expense under the MRRP for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 was $718,000 and $2.2 million, respectively, compared to $682,000 and
$2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

Stock
Option Plan. The Company established the 2003 Stock Option Plan
(SOP) under which shares of Company common stock are reserved for the grant of
common stock options to directors, officers and employees. Stock options awarded under the
SOP vest to participants at the rate of 20% per year. The exercise price of the options is
equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.

of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. See Note 14 for additional information
regarding stock options.

The pro forma results above may not
be representative of the effect on net income in future periods.

The
fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants during the years ended
December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively: dividend yield of 1.0% and 1.0%;
expected volatility of 22.6% and 13.2%; risk-free interest rates of 4.0% and 3.5%; and an
expected life of 8.0 years and 10.0 years.

At
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company was indebted on notes as shown in
the following table:

|                                       

The
convertible fixed-rate notes are convertible to adjustable-rate notes at the option of the
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The line of credit with the FHLB expires in
November 2005. The Company expects the line of credit agreement with the FHLB will be
renewed in the ordinary course of business.

# Note 14  Current
Accounting Pronouncements

For
discussion regarding accounting pronouncements, interpretations, exposure drafts and other
formal accounting guidance and the impact on the Company, reference is made to the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The
following discussion identifies certain recently issued accounting guidance.

In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No.
123(R)), which requires that the cost resulting from stock options be measured at
fair value and recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 123(R) replaces Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS No. 123) and supersedes
APB No. 25 which permitted the recognition of compensation expense using the intrinsic
value method. SFAS No. 123(R) became effective July 1, 2005. However, on April 15, 2005,
the SEC issued a press release announcing the amendment of the compliance date for SFAS
No. 123(R) to be no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June
15, 2005. The Company presently plans to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006. The
method for adoption of this statement is yet to be determined. See Note 11 for SFAS No.
123 pro forma disclosures.

In
June 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Reporting Accounting Changes and Error Corrections(SFAS No. 154). SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application for
voluntary changes in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No.
154s retrospective application requirement replaces Accounting Principles Board
Opinion 20s requirement to recognize most voluntary changes in accounting principle
by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing
to the new accounting principle. If the cumulative effect of the change in accounting
principle can be determined, but it is impracticable to determine the specific effects of
an accounting change on one or more prior periods presented, the change in accounting
policy will have to be applied to balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning
of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable, with a
corresponding adjustment made to the opening balance of retained earnings or other
components of equity (e.g., accumulated other comprehensive income) for that period. If it
is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting
principle, the new accounting principle is to be applied prospectively from the earliest
date practicable. If retrospective application for all prior periods is impracticable, the
method used to report the change and the reason that retrospective application is
impracticable are to be disclosed. The requirements of SFAS No. 154 are effective for
accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

# TierOne Corporation
and SubsidiariesManagements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

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

# 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 68 banking
offices located in Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas and eight loan production offices located in
Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota and North Carolina. 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.

The
Companys results of operations depend primarily on the results of operations of the
Bank. The Banks results of operations depend, to a large extent, on net interest
income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and investment
securities portfolios and the cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits
and borrowings. Noninterest income, noninterest expense and provisions for loan losses
also affect results of operations. Noninterest income consists primarily of fees and
service charges related to deposit and lending activities and gains on loans held for
sale. Noninterest expense consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy
and equipment, data processing, advertising and other operating expense. The
Companys results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic
and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies
and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or
government policies may materially impact the Companys financial condition and
results of operations.

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

and SubsidiariesManagements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

# Comparison of Financial
Condition at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004

# Assets

General.         Our
total assets were $3.2 billion at September 30, 2005, a $198.2 million, or
          6.5%, increase compared to $3.0 billion at December 31, 2004. We continue to
          focus our efforts on attracting loans with relatively higher yields, adjustable
          interest rates and/or shorter terms to maturity while seeking to maintain a
loan           portfolio with a high level of asset quality.

Investment
Securities. Our available for sale investment securities totaled $111.3
million at September 30, 2005, a $16.5 million, or 12.9%, decrease compared to $127.8
million at December 31, 2004. The decrease in our available for sale investment securities
was primarily due to $18.5 million in proceeds received from maturing and sold investment
securities partially offset by the purchase of $3.5 million of investment securities. Our
mortgage-backed securities, all of which are recorded as available for sale, amounted to
$23.0 million at September 30, 2005, a $13.2 million, or 36.4%, decrease compared to $36.2
million at December 31, 2004. The decrease in our mortgage-backed securities was primarily
the result of $12.9 million of principal payments received during the nine months ended
September 30, 2005.

Loans
Receivable. Net loans (after allowance for loan losses) totaled $2.9
billion at September 30, 2005, a $228.3 million, or 8.7%, increase compared to December
31, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to increased originations and/or
purchases in our residential construction, commercial construction, warehouse mortgage
lines of credit and commercial real estate and land loan portfolios partially offset by a
decline in our second mortgage residential loan portfolio. Residential construction loans
totaled $889.2 million at September 30, 2005, a $288.1 million, or 47.9%, increase
compared to $601.1 million at December 31, 2004. As part of our above described strategy,
we have increased our portfolio of residential construction loans since these loans
historically have provided relatively higher yields, shorter terms to maturity and
additional loan fee income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we
originated $429.1 million and purchased through correspondents $463.8 million of
residential construction loans which were partially offset by $605.9 million of payoffs.
Commercial real estate and land loans amounted to $623.0 million at September 30, 2005, a
$25.9 million, or 4.3%, increase compared to $597.1 million at December 31, 2004.
Commercial construction loans increased $77.4 million, or 27.4%, to $359.8 million at
September 30, 2005 compared to $282.4 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was
primarily attributable to increased origination of commercial construction loans in our
primary lending market area (Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Arizona, Colorado, Florida,
Minnesota and North Carolina). Multi-family residential loans totaled $179.8 million at
September 30, 2005, an increase of $37.3 million, or 26.2%, compared to $142.5 million at
December 31, 2004. The increase in multi-family residential loans is primarily
attributable to adjustable-rate loan purchases of $55.1 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2005. Warehouse mortgage lines of credit increased $22.5 million, or
16.9%, to $155.4 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $132.9 million at December 31,
2004. The increase in warehouse mortgage lines of credit was primarily attributable to
increased residential mortgage lending activity. Second mortgage residential loans totaled $180.7 million at
September 30, 2005, a $74.6 million, or 29.2%, decrease compared to $255.2 million at
December 31, 2004. The decrease in our second mortgage residential loans at September 30,
2005 was primarily attributable to principal payments and prepayments.

# TierOne Corporation
and SubsidiariesManagements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

The
Banks focus on loans with relatively higher yields, adjustable interest rates and/or
shorter terms to maturity, as well as our expanded loan origination capabilities,
contributed to $1.3 billion of gross loan originations, exclusive of warehouse mortgage
lines of credit and loan purchases, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Gross
originations do not directly correlate to net loans due to timing of construction loan
advances, repayments and undisbursed lines of credit but reflect in part future loan
commitments.

Allowance
for Loan Losses. Our allowance for loan losses increased $2.6 million, or
9.7%, to $29.4 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $26.8 million at December 31,
2004. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $1.8 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, an increase of $620,000, or 53.2%, compared to $1.2 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was primarily the result of a
charge-off during the three months ended June 30, 2005 of a multi-family residential loan
acquired in the United Nebraska Financial Co. (UNFC) transaction. Our ratio of
the allowance for loan losses to net loans was 1.02% and 1.01% at September 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively.

Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets.Our goodwill at September 30, 2005 was $42.3
million and relates to our acquisition of UNFC in 2004. Other intangible assets totaled
$10.5 million at September 30, 2005, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 11.7%, compared to
$11.9 million at December 31, 2004 and relates to the core deposits recorded as a result
of the UNFC acquisition. The decrease was attributable to amortization during the nine
months ended September 30, 2005.

Other
Assets.Our other assets increased $3.3 million, or 14.2%, to $26.9 million
at September 30, 2005 compared to $23.6 million at December 31, 2004. At September 30,
2005, the largest item recorded in other assets was mortgage servicing assets of $10.9
million. The remainder consisted of prepaid expenses, miscellaneous receivables and other
miscellaneous assets.

# Liabilities and
Stockholders Equity

General.          Our
total liabilities were $2.9 billion at September 30, 2005, a $176.7 million,           or
6.4%, increase compared to December 31, 2004. We utilized Federal Home Loan
          Bank (FHLB) advances and other borrowings and deposits to fund
          increased lending activities.

# TierOne Corporation
and SubsidiariesManagements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Deposits.         Our
total deposits increased by $68.7 million, or 3.7%, to $1.9 billion at
          September 30, 2005. The increase in deposits was attributable to a $115.3
          million increase in retail deposits which was partially offset by a $46.6
          million decline in brokered time deposits. Time deposits increased $107.0
          million, or 11.1%, to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2005 compared to $967.8
          million at December 31, 2004. Our retail generated time deposits increased
          $153.6 million at September 30, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004 which was
          partially offset by a $46.6 million decline in brokered time deposits. The
          increase in our time deposits was primarily the result of marketing promotions
          held during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to attract new deposit
          accounts and establish new customer relationships. The weighted average rate of
          our time deposits was 3.43% at September 30, 2005 compared to 2.77% at December
          31, 2004. Our transaction accounts totaled $858.7 million at September 30,
2005,           a decrease of $38.3 million, or 4.3%, compared to $897.0 million at
December 31,           2004. The decrease in our transaction accounts was primarily the
result of           customer migration to time deposit accounts due to a rising interest
rate           environment. Brokered time deposits (included in our time deposits)
amounted to           $78.0 million at September 30, 2005, a decrease of $46.6 million,
or 37.4%           compared to $124.6 million at December 31, 2004. Brokered time
deposits maturing           during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 totaled
$123.8 million which were           partially offset by the purchase of $77.6 million of
brokered time deposits. We           utilize brokered time deposits as an additional
funding source for loan           origination and purchase activity.

FHLB
Advances and Other Borrowings. Our FHLB advances and other borrowings
amounted to $956.2 million at September 30, 2005, a $114.5 million, or 13.6%, increase
compared to $841.7 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in FHLB advances and other
borrowings at September 30, 2005 was primarily attributable to borrowing an additional $250.0 million of
convertible fixed-rate advances from the FHLB partially offset by the repayment of $70.4
million of FHLB advances and a $44.3 million reduction in our outstanding line of credit
with the FHLB. We have utilized FHLB advances to augment deposits as a funding source for
loan origination and purchase activity. Our outstanding line of credit with the FHLB was
$185.2 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $261.2 million at December 31, 2004. The
weighted average interest rate on our FHLB advances and other borrowings was 3.84% at
September 30, 2005, an increase of 59 basis points compared to 3.25% at December 31, 2004.
The increase in the weighted average interest rate on our FHLB advances and other
borrowings was primarily attributable to rising interest rates.

Stockholders
Equity. At September 30, 2005, stockholders equity totaled $298.6
million, an increase of $21.5 million, or 7.8%, from December 31, 2004. The increase in
stockholders equity primarily reflects net income of $23.3 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2005, $2.9 million related to common stock earned by
participants in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and $2.3 million
related to amortization of awards under the 2003 Management Recognition and Retention Plan
(MRRP). These increases were partially offset by the purchase of 147,571
shares of common stock at a cost of $3.6 million and $2.8 million in cash dividends paid
to the Companys stockholders. The Company paid cash dividends of $0.05 per common
share on March 31, 2005 to shareholders of record on March 15, 2005 and $0.06 per common
share on June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 to shareholders of record on June 15, 2005
and September 15, 2005, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results
for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004

Net
Income. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $8.6
million, or $0.51 per diluted share ($0.53 per basic share), compared to net income of
$5.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted and basic share, for the three months ended September
30, 2004. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $23.3 million, or
$1.40 per diluted share ($1.44 per basic share), compared to net income of $17.1 million,
or $0.99 per diluted share ($1.01 per basic share), for the nine months ended September
30, 2004.

Net
Interest Income. Net interest income is the principal source of earnings
for the Company, and consists primarily of interest income on loans receivable and
investment and mortgage-backed securities, offset by interest expense on deposits and
borrowed funds. Net interest income is determined by interest rate spread (i.e., the
difference between the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities) and also by the amount of interest-earning assets relative
to interest-bearing liabilities. Generally, we are able to increase our net interest
income at a faster pace when the spread between short-term and long-term U.S. Treasury
rates is positive, due to funding costs being more directly tied to shorter-term rates,
while loan rates are tied to intermediate to longer-term rates. Net interest income before
provision for loan losses was $26.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005,
an increase of $7.8 million, or 41.5%, compared to $18.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, our net interest
income totaled $76.7 million, an increase of $23.0 million, or 42.8%, compared to $53.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increases in net interest income
were attributable to the continued growth of our loan portfolio and increased average
yields on interest-earning assets, primarily loans receivable.

Results of Operations

Our
average interest rate spread for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September
30, 2004 was 3.29% and 3.00%, respectively. Our average interest rate spread increased to
3.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2.95% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004. The average yield on interest-earning assets for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 was 6.14%, a 77 basis point increase compared to 5.37% for
the three months ended September 30, 2004. The average yield on interest-earning assets
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was 5.90% compared to 5.27% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 63 basis points. Our net interest margin
(net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2005 was 3.55% and 3.52%, respectively, compared to
3.25% for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, respectively.
The increase in our average interest rate spread and net interest margin was primarily due
to an increase in the average balance and average yield of interest-earning assets. The
ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities declined
to 109.95% and 110.07% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
respectively, compared to 112.06% and 114.97% for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2004, respectively. These declines resulted primarily from recognition of
goodwill associated with the UNFC acquisition and funding of the Companys stock
repurchase program.

Interest
Income.Our total interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2005
was $46.2 million, a $15.1 million, or 48.5%, increase compared to $31.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2004. Interest income on loans receivable totaled $44.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $14.5 million, or
48.6%, compared to $29.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The
average balance of loans receivable during the three months ended September 30, 2005 was
$2.8 billion, an increase of $637.1 million, or 29.3%, compared to $2.2 billion for the
three months ended September 30, 2004. The average yield earned on the loan portfolio was
6.29% and 5.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004,
respectively.

For
the nine months ended September 30, 2005 our interest income totaled $128.4 million, a
$41.3 million, or 47.3%, increase compared to $87.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. The average balance of loans receivable totaled $2.7 billion for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $602.2 million, or 28.7%, compared to
$2.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The average yield earned on the
loan portfolio was 6.04% and 5.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and
September 30, 2004, respectively.

The
increase in interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005
was primarily attributable to increases in the average balances of loans receivable and
average yield earned on the loan portfolio. The increase in the average balance of loans
receivable was the result of loans acquired from the UNFC acquisition and our loan
origination and purchase activities. The increase in the average yield earned on loans
receivable was the result of our strategy to sustain our loan portfolio holdings of loans
with relatively higher yields, adjustable interest rates and/or shorter terms to maturity.

# TierOne Corporation
and SubsidiariesManagements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

The
principle reason for the increase in interest expense for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2005 when compared to the same periods in 2004 was the
increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits which was primarily
attributable to deposits acquired in the UNFC transaction. Additionally, the increase in
interest expense was also attributable to an increase in the average balance of FHLB
advances and other borrowings and rising interest rates.

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 (i) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year
volume) and (ii) 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.

Provision
for Loan Losses. We made a provision for loan losses of $1.7 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $922,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2004, an increase of $769,000, or 83.4%. For the nine months ended September
30, 2005 our provision for loan losses totaled $4.4 million, an increase of $1.4 million,
or 48.7%, compared to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. We have
made provisions 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 the relevant date. At September 30, 2005,
our total nonperforming loans amounted to $13.8 million, or 0.48% of net loans, compared
to $10.2 million, or 0.39% of net loans, at December 31, 2004. Our nonperforming assets
totaled $16.3 million, or 0.50%, of total assets at September 30, 2005, compared to $10.6
million, or 0.35%, of total assets at December 31, 2004. The increase in nonperforming
loans and nonperforming assets is primarily attributable to payment defaults on $5.6
million of seasoned loans for tax-advantaged affordable housing units. During the three
months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, we charged-off, net of recoveries,
$591,000 and $427,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and
September 30, 2004, we charged-off, net of recoveries, $1.8 million and $1.2 million,
respectively. Charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consisted
primarily of one multi-family residential loan acquired in the UNFC transaction combined
with automobile and other consumer-related loans. At September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004
and September 30, 2004, our allowance for loan losses amounted to 1.02%, 1.01% and 1.05%,
respectively, of net loans.

Noninterest
Income.Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $6.6
million, a $1.3 million, or 24.8%, increase compared to $5.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2004. Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2005
included a $769,000 increase in deposit fees, a $232,000 increase in non-deposit and
lending-related fees, a $74,000 recapture of previous mortgage servicing rights
(MSR) impairments rather than a $150,000 MSR impairment recorded during the
three months ended September 30, 2004 and a $145,000 net gain on loans held for sale.
These increases were partially offset by a $149,000 increase in MSR amortizations.

For
the nine months ended September 30, 2005, total noninterest income was $18.9 million, a
$1.9 million, or 11.1%, increase compared to $17.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $2.5 million
in deposit fees and $1.7 million in non-deposit and lending-related fees. These increases
were partially offset by a $1.5 million reduction in other operating income due primarily
to a one-time gain in early 2004 associated with the Banks merger of its defined
benefit pension plan with an unrelated third party plan and a $947,000 reduction in
recapture of previous MSR impairments.

Noninterest
Expense.Our noninterest expense increased by $3.4 million, or 23.8%, to $18.0
million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $14.5 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in noninterest expense resulted
primarily from a $1.5 million increase in employee compensation and benefits expense, a
$1.3 million increase in other operating expenses and a $475,000 increase in occupancy
expense. In large part, the increase in noninterest expense was attributable to the
Companys August 2004 acquisition of UNFC.

Our
noninterest expense increased by $13.2 million, or 32.6%, to $53.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $40.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. The increase was primarily the result of a $6.3 million increase in
employee compensation and benefits expense, a $4.6 million increase in other operating
expenses, a $1.6 million increase in occupancy expense and a $726,000 increase in
advertising expense. The increase in noninterest expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 was primarily the result of expenses incurred as a result of the UNFC
acquisition.

Income
Tax Expense.Our income tax expense increased by $1.9 million, or 57.3%, to $5.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $3.2 million for the
same period in 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 our income tax expense
totaled $14.2 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 39.5%, compared to $10.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in income tax expense for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004 was
primarily due to an increase in net income and an increase in our effective income tax
rate. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was
37.3% compared to 37.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Our effective
income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was 37.8% compared to 37.3%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

# Liquidity

Our
primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization of loans, loan prepayments and
maturity of loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investments 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 and mortgage-backed securities prepayments can be
greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
Additionally, we utilize FHLB advances, brokered time deposits and available for sale
loans as additional funding sources.

We
use our liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, maturing time deposits and
demand deposit withdrawals to invest in other interest-earning assets and to meet
operating expenses. At September 30, 2005, we had time deposits maturing within the next
12 months totaling $785.6 million. Based upon historical experience, we anticipate that a
significant portion of the maturing time deposits will be redeposited with us.

In
addition to cash flow from loan and securities payments and prepayments, we have
additional borrowing capacity available to fund our asset growth. We continue to utilize
borrowings to complement deposits as a source of funds. The average
balance of our FHLB advances and other borrowings was $917.0 million and $633.2 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. The
average balance of our FHLB advances and other borrowings was $816.8 million and $616.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively.
To date, substantially all of our borrowings have consisted of advances from the FHLB, of
which we are a member. Pursuant to blanket collateral agreements with the FHLB, the Bank
pledged qualifying residential, multi-family residential and commercial real estate
mortgages, residential construction, commercial construction and agricultural real estate
loans as collateral for such advances. Additional collateral is available if further
borrowings are required.

deposits and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets and to
meet operating expenses. At September 30, 2005, we had the following contractual
obligations (excluding bank deposits and interest) and lending commitments:

# TierOne Corporation
and SubsidiariesManagements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

We
have not used 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 September 30, 2005, the maximum total
dollar amount of such recourse was approximately $15.0 million. Based on historical
experience, at September 30, 2005, we had established a liability of $738,000 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,
limited purpose entities.

# Regulatory Capital

At
September 30, 2005, the Banks regulatory capital exceeded regulatory limits set by
the Office of Thrift Supervision. The current regulatory requirements and the Banks
actual levels at September 30, 2005 are set forth in the following table:

|                         | Required Capital | Actual Capital | Excess Capital
|------------------------ | ---------------- | -------------- | --------------
|
|Tangible capital         |                  |                | $             
|Tier 1 (core) capital    |                  |                |               
|Total risk-based capital |                  |                |               
|                        

The
Bank remains classified as a well capitalized financial institution under
Federal regulatory guidelines.
