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 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 March 31, 2009 and for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 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, 2008. The results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results
which may be expected for the entire calendar year 2009.

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  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 each reporting 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 month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, no potentially dilutive
shares were included in the loss per share calculations since including such shares would be
anti-dilutive. The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS:

|                                                       | For the Three Months Ended March 31,

We had
four securities with unrealized losses totaling $116,000 for 12 consecutive months or
longer as of March 31, 2009. The unrealized losses at March 31, 2009 are believed to be temporarily impaired
in value. 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 March 31, 2009, we had the ability and intent to
hold these securities until maturity or for the period necessary to recover the unrealized
losses. Losses on impairment of securities totaled zero and $485,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

# Note 5  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.

Other
Intangible Assets. Our only identifiable other intangible asset is the
value of core deposits acquired as part of the UNFC and Marine Bank transactions. The core
deposit intangible assets have been estimated to have nine- to ten-year lives. Core
deposit intangible assets are amortized using an accelerated method of amortization which
is recorded in other operating expense.

Other
Intangible Asset Activity. The changes in the carrying amount of acquired
intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

|                               | Three Months Ended March 31,

# Note 6  Mortgage
Servicing Rights

In
accordance with SFAS No. 156, we utilize the amortization method for all of our mortgage
servicing right assets. Therefore, we carry 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 newly acquired 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. 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
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)             | March 31, 2009  | December 31, 2008
|---------------------------------- | --------------- | -----------------
|Serviced loan portfolio balance    | $1,752,045      | $1,600,715       
|Fair value                         | $15,972         | $15,853          
|Prepayment speed                   | 5.40% - 50.58%  | 5.34% - 49.44%   
|Weighted average prepayment speed  | 14.03%          | 13.57%           
|Fair value with 10% adverse change | $15,239         | $15,302          
|Fair value with 20% adverse change | $14,509         | $14,671          
|Discount rate                      | 10.50% - 14.50% | 10.50% - 14.50%  
|Weighted average discount rate     | 11.73%          | 11.76%           
|Fair value with 10% adverse change | $15,460         | $15,302          
|Fair value with 20% adverse change | $14,931         | $14,870          
|                                  

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:

March 31,
|----------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------
|
|Balance at beginning of period                  |                             
|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 8  FHLBank
Topeka Advances and Other Borrowings

At
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we were indebted on notes as shown in the following
table:

|(Dollars in thousands)                  | March 31, 2009 | December 31, 2008
|--------------------------------------- | -------------- | -----------------

|                                       
|Total FHLBank Topeka advances and       |                |                  
|other borrowings                        |                |                  
|                                       
|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 March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The line of credit
with the FHLBank expires in November 2009. We expect the line of credit agreement to be
renewed in the ordinary course of business.

Pursuant
to our 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
collateral agreement with the FHLBank, our borrowing capacity at March 31, 2009 was $681.4
million. Other qualifying collateral can be pledged in the event additional borrowing
capacity is required.

Our
retail repurchase agreements are primarily collateralized by governmental agency and
municipal obligations (investment securities).

# Note 9 
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:

|                                                | Three Months Ended March 31,

|                                               
|Amount of related income tax benefit recognized |                             
|                                               

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.

Management
Recognition and Retention Plan. We established the 2003 Management Recognition and
Retention Plan (MRRP) which is a stock-based incentive plan. The shares
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 85,283 shares are still available for future grants as of March
31, 2009. The following table summarizes shares of our common stock that were subject to
award and have been granted pursuant to the MRRP as of March 31, 2009 and 2008:

Compensation
expense related to the MRRP totaled $49,000 and $726,000 for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of
outstanding shares awarded by the MRRP was $13.05 and $18.42 at March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. As of March 31, 2009, we had $225,000 of total unrecognized employee
compensation expense related to unvested MRRP shares which are expected to be recognized
over a weighted average period of 28 months. We realized excess tax benefits related to
MRRP shares of zero and $10,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
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 349,758 of these stock options remain available for future grants as of March
31, 2009.

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 10 
Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Unrecognized
tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $166,000 and $150,000 at March 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits of $163,000 and interest and
penalties of $3,000 would favorably affect our effective tax rate if recognized in future
periods. The following table summarizes our unrecognized tax benefits for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

|                                                                                   | Three Months Ended

|Unrecognized tax benefits at end of period                                         |                             
|                                                                                  

Any
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in income tax
expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. At March 31, 2009 and 2008, we had
approximately $3,000 and $87,000, respectively, 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 $32,000 is reasonably
possible during the next 12 months. This potential reduction is primarily attributable to
the expiration of the statute of limitations related to the 2005 tax period.

The
tax years of 2005 through 2008 remain open for examination by federal and state taxing
authorities.

# Note 11 - Deferred Taxes

In
assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. We
consider the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities and carryback opportunities
in making the assessment of the necessity of a valuation allowance. At March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, the Company determined a valuation allowance was necessary, largely
based on the evidence represented by a cumulative loss in the most recent
three-year period. In addition, general uncertainty surrounding future economic and
business conditions has increased the potential volatility and uncertainty of projected
earnings. Other assets include deferred tax benefits of $5.8 million and $1.8 million at
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. We have established a valuation
allowance related to our deferred tax benefits of $5.8 million and $1.8 million at March
31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. We evaluate our deferred tax assets and the
related valuation allowance quarterly.

# Note 12  Fair
Value Measurements

On
January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS No.
157) and SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities, (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosure related to the use of
fair value measures in financial statements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value
hierarchy from observable market data as the highest level to fair value based on the
entitys own fair value assumption as the lowest level.

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.

In
accordance with SFAS No. 157, we group financial assets and financial liabilities measured
at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities
are traded and the reliability of the assumption used to determine fair value. The fair
value hierarchy is as follows:

| | Level 1 |  Quoted
prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the
ability to access as of the measurement date.
| | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Level 2 |  Significant
other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active and other inputs that
are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
| | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Level 3 |  Significant
unobservable inputs that reflect an entitys own assumption about the assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
| | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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

The
following disclosures exclude certain non-financial 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
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 and corporate securities
are priced utilizing observable data from an active market. These measurements are
classified as Level 1. Changes in the fair value of available for sale investment
securities are included in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent the changes are
not considered other than temporary impairments. Other than temporary impairment tests are
performed on a quarterly basis and any decline in the fair value of an individual security
below its cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a write-down to
estimated fair value. These write-downs are reflected in our Statement of Operations as
loss on impairment of securities. Losses on impairment of securities totaled zero and
$485,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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.

The
Asset Management Fund  ARM Funds Net Asset Value (NAV) or fair
value is an accumulation of the estimated fair value of the debt instruments owned by the
fund. The debt instruments are valued using market quotations or prices obtained from
independent pricing services or, on certain securities, a fixed income fair value pricing
methodology. The NAV is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Assets
Held in Employee Deferred Compensation Plans. Assets held in employee
deferred compensation plans are recorded at fair value and included in other assets on our
Statement of Financial Condition. The assets associated with these plans are invested
primarily in mutual funds and classified as Level 1 as the fair value measurement is based
upon available quoted prices. We also record a liability in accrued expenses and other
liabilities in our Statement of Financial Condition for the amount due to employees
related to these plans.

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. The fair value of derivatives
is           classified as Level 2. The net fair value of derivatives was $3.3 million
and           $544,000 at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The derivative asset is recorded in other assets while the derivative liability is recorded in
accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The $2.8 million change
in           the fair value amount is included in the gain on the sale of loans in the
          accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The increase in the fair
          value was primarily related to a $98.0 million increase in forward loan
          commitments at March 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 and was due to
          increased mortgage loan refinancing activity.

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.

Loans
Receivable / Impaired Loans. We do not record loans at their fair value on
a recurring basis. However, we evaluate loans for impairment when it is probable the
payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual
terms of the loan agreement. Once a loan has been determined to be impaired, it is
measured to establish the amount of impairment, if any, based on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, except
that collateral-dependent loans may be measured for impairment based on the fair value of
the collateral, less costs to sell. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the
recorded investment in the loan, a valuation allowance or loan charge-off is recognized.
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 $201.2 million and $185.9 million at
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The allowance for loan losses related
to impaired loans was $11.4 million and $16.4 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008, respectively.

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

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 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 March 31, 2009, we held $44.3 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 $2.2 million was recorded as a
reduction of fees and services charges during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The
valuation allowance was $1.4 million at December 31, 2008.

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

The
following is a discussion and analysis of TierOne Corporations (Company) 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 Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

# General

TierOne
Bank (Bank), a subsidiary of the Company, is a
$3.3 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 and our cost of funds. Our results of
operations are also affected by our provision for loan losses, noninterest income,
noninterest expense and income tax expense (benefit). Noninterest income generally
includes fees and service charges, debit card fees, net income (loss) from real estate
operations, net gain on sales of investment securities, loans held for sale and other real
estate owned and other operating income. Noninterest expense consists of salaries and
employee benefits, occupancy, data processing, advertising, Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation insurance premium, legal services and other operating expense. Our results of
operations 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

Regulatory
Developments.On January 15, 2009, the Bank entered into a supervisory
agreement with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), the Banks primary
federal regulator, in response to regulatory concerns raised in the Banks most
recent regulatory examination by the OTS and to address the current economic environment
facing the banking and financial industry. The agreement requires, among other things:

| |  | The
review, and where appropriate, revisions to or adoption of: (a) loan policies, procedures
and reporting; (b) credit administration and underwriting; (c) asset classification; (d)
allowance for loan and lease losses; and (e) internal asset review;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Enhanced
management oversight including restrictions on changes in compensation arrangements; and
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Strengthening
the Banks capital position, including a requirement that the Bank maintain a
minimum core capital ratio of 8.5% and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 11.0%.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The
supervisory agreement also prohibits capital distributions by the Bank and the acceptance
of brokered deposits. The Company agreed to maintain the Banks regulatory capital
(at the levels described above) as well as to not pay dividends on its common stock, make
payments on its trust preferred securities or repurchase any shares of its common stock
until the OTS issues a written notice of non-objection. The supervisory agreement will
remain in effect until modified, suspended or terminated by the OTS. The Bank has fulfilled most of the obligations set forth in the
supervisory agreement and is in the process of undertaking actions to comply with the remaining requirements.
The foregoing
information does not purport to be a complete summary of the supervisory agreement and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the supervisory agreement filed as Exhibit 10.24
to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

# 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

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 monthly
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.
| | - | -----------------------------------

In addition, we use information about
specific borrower situations, including their financial position, work-out plans and
estimated collateral values under various liquidation scenarios to estimate the risk and
amount of potential loss.

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.

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 includes 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.

31

---

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 three months ended March 31, 2009.

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.

32

---

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.

Other
Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets. 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 other 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 other real estate owned and repossessed assets is intended to
include amounts for estimated losses as a result of impairment in value of real property
after repossession. We review our other 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.

In
assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. We
consider the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities and carryback opportunities
in making the assessment of the necessity of a valuation allowance.

33

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 March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008

# Assets

General.          Our
total assets were $3.3 billion at March 31, 2009, an increase of $12.3           million,
or 0.4%, compared to December 31, 2008.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $315.5 million
at March 31, 2009, an increase of $65.6 million, or 26.3%, compared to $249.9 million at
December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in deposits and
loan repayments.

Investment
Securities. Our available for sale investment securities totaled $124.4
million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $13.3 million, or 9.6%, compared to $137.7
million at December 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, maturities of
investment securities totaled $50.2 million which were partially offset by security
purchases of $37.2 million. The securities purchased during 2009 were primarily agency
obligations that were purchased to collateralize deposits.

Mortgage-Backed
Securities. Our mortgage-backed securities, all of which are recorded as
available for sale, totaled $8.7 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $5.6 million,
or 177.9%, compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2008. The increase in our
mortgage-backed securities was the result of a $5.9 million security purchase partially
offset by $300,000 of principal payments received during the three months ended March 31,
2009.

Loans
Receivable. Net loans totaled $2.7 billion at March 31, 2009, a decrease of
$51.7 million, or 1.9%, compared to $2.8 billion at December 31, 2008. The decrease in net
loans at March 31, 2009 was primarily attributable to a decrease in loan originations
related to our tightening of credit policies and our reduction of exposure in selected
business lines and geographic markets due to the continued deterioration in these real
estate markets and the economy in general. The following table details the composition of
our loan portfolio at the dates indicated:

Redefining
our Primary Lending Market Area.On June 30, 2008 we announced the closing
of all nine of our loan production offices in an effort to focus our lending activity in
our primary market area of Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas. At March 31, 2009, $1.5 billion, or
53.9%, of our total loans were secured by property located in Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas.
Loans collateralized by property in states in which we formerly operated a loan production
office (Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada and North Carolina) totaled $722.8
million, or 25.2%, of our total loan portfolio at March 31, 2009. Loans in all other
states totaled $601.0 million, or 20.9%, of our total loan portfolio.

# Loan Quality and
Nonperforming Assets

Reports
listing all delinquent loans (loans 30 or more days delinquent), classified assets and
other real estate owned are reviewed monthly by management and by our Board of Directors
as part of its regular board meetings. 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 other real estate owned or a
repossessed asset.

During
2007 and 2008 and for the first three months of 2009, our levels of delinquent loans, nonperforming loans (loans 90 or more
days delinquent), impaired loans and other real estate owned increased
reflecting, among other factors, the
deterioration in the nations economic conditions. The real estate market has
continued to decline in 2009 placing continued financial stress on customers, particularly
those engaged in residential development. The downturn in the residential housing market
has greatly 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. In
response to these conditions, we have tightened credit policies and reduced our exposure
in selected business lines and geographic markets.

Our

net loans (before allowance for loan losses) was 9.44% compared to 7.64% at December 31,
2008 and 6.11% at March 31, 2008. The increase in delinquent loans at March 31, 2009
compared to December 31, 2008 primarily resulted from two Minnesota land development loans
and one Kansas City-area commercial construction project.

Nonperforming
Loans. At March 31, 2009, our nonperforming loans totaled $159.9 million of which $21.9
million, or 13.7%, was secured by property located in our primary market area of Nebraska,
Iowa and Kansas. Former loan production office states had $113.5 million, or 71.0%, of
total nonperforming loans at March 31, 2009. Other states comprised the remaining $24.5
million, or 15.3%, of nonperforming loans at March 31, 2009.

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

| | Residential
Construction Loans. At March 31, 2009, our nonperforming residential
construction loans totaled $63.2 million and consisted of 115 loans for residential
properties. At March 31, 2009, nonperforming residential construction loans consisted of
59 loans for properties located in South Carolina totaling $19.0 million, nine loans for
properties located in Nevada totaling $16.7 million, 21 loans for properties located in
North Carolina totaling $16.1 million, five loans for properties in Arizona totaling $4.5
million, 15 loans for properties in Nebraska totaling $4.3 million and six loans for
properties in other states totaling $2.6 million.

| | Land
and Land Development.At March 31, 2009, nonperforming land development
loans totaled $57.9 million which consisted of 57 land development properties. At March
31, 2009, nonperforming land and land development loans consisted of 16 residential
properties in Nevada totaling $43.8 million, eight residential properties in Nebraska
totaling $5.6 million, seven residential properties in Arizona totaling $3.9 million, 13
residential properties in North Carolina totaling $2.1 million, nine residential
properties in Florida totaling $1.8 million and four residential properties in other
states totaling $700,000.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Commercial
Construction.Nonperforming commercial construction loans totaled $16.6
million at March 31, 2009. These loans are primarily secured by one condominium
development located in suburban Las Vegas. Construction to complete the first phase of
the project under a new general contractor has resumed following the original builders
voluntary bankruptcy in January 2008. Completion of the first phase is expected by late
summer with any remaining unsold units going on sale in June.

Impaired
Loans. 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: (a) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent; (b) the present value of expected future cash flows; or (c) the loans
observable market price. Loans classified as impaired totaled $201.2 million and $185.9
million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Our allowance for loan
losses related to impaired loans totaled $11.4 million and $16.4 million at March 31, 2009
and December 31, 2008, respectively. At March 31, 2009 we had $34.0 million of our total
$201.2 million of impaired loans for which no allowance for loan losses was deemed
necessary as the fair value of the collateral exceeded the carrying value of the impaired
loans. At December 31, 2008, we had $29.4 million of impaired loans for which no allowance
for loan losses was deemed necessary. Impaired loans at March 31, 2009 consisted
primarily of $86.0 million of land and land development loans, $72.9 million of
residential construction loans and $18.4 million of commercial construction loans.

Potential
Problem Loans. As part of our asset classification process, we identify
loans that carry relative levels of risk which may be considered higher than normal due to
possible deterioration of the borrowers financial condition or the value of the
underlying collateral. Since these loans remain performing in accordance with the terms of
the loan agreement, they are not included in impaired, delinquent or nonperforming loans
or troubled debt restructurings; however, management is aware of circumstances which may
raise concern as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present repayment terms.
These potential problem loans totaled $294.6 million and $285.6 million at March 31, 2009
and December 31, 2008, respectively, with the March 31, 2009 composition of loans
primarily consisting of $118.7 million of land and land development, $37.5 million of
commercial real estate, $36.8 million of business, $36.5 million of commercial
construction and $34.3 million of multi-family loans. The increase in potential problem
loans from December 31, 2008 was primarily the result of continued declines in real estate
values, slow real estate sales and the economy in general.

Other
Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets. When we acquire other 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 record a loss
provision for other real estate owned 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.

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

|                                      | Three Months Ended March 31,
|------------------------------------- | ----------------------------
|
|Balance at beginning of period        |

|Sales                                 |                             
|Provisions for losses                 |                             
|Net loss on disposal                  |                             
|                                     
|Balance at end of period              |                             
|                                     

At
March 31, 2009, other real estate owned and repossessed assets consisted primarily of 10
commercial properties totaling $28.2 million and 156 residential properties totaling $22.5
million. Our level of other real estate owned and repossessed assets may continue to
increase in future periods. Additionally, our holding period and provision for losses on
other real estate owned may increase in future periods due to continued deterioration of
the real estate market and the economy in general.

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 some states, additional funding may be required. Our reserve for
unfunded loan commitments at March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $300,000 and $2.2 million,
respectively, which represents potential future losses associated with these unfunded
commitments. A significant portion of our reserve for unfunded loan commitments at March 31, 2008
related to residential construction loans which were subsequently sold.

During
2007 and 2008 and for the first three months of 2009 our levels of delinquent,
nonperforming and impaired loans increased primarily
due to deterioration in the nations economic conditions which resulted in continued
financial stress on customers. A continued deterioration of the economy and further
erosion of real estate values may cause us to experience increased levels of delinquent,
nonperforming and impaired loans. The decrease in our allowance for loan losses at March
31, 2009 was primarily attributable to $12.2 million of charge-offs of allowances established
in prior periods associated with impaired loans.
Impaired loans totaled $201.2 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $15.2 million, or
8.2%, compared to $185.9 million at December 31, 2008. Our allowance for loan losses
related to impaired loans was $11.4 million and $16.4 million at March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. When a loan is deemed impaired, we are required to
perform an analysis in order to measure the level of impairment. When the impairment
measurement indicates that the fair value of the loan is less than its carrying amount, we
are required to establish additional provisions for loan losses and/or we are required to
record a charge-off for the difference. During 2008 and the three months ended March 31,
2009, impaired loans increased and as a result we were required to record charge-offs due
to the results of our loan impairment measurements.

FHLBank
Topeka Stock. FHLBank Topeka (FHLBank) stock totaled $44.3
million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 5.8%, compared to $47.0 million
at December 31, 2008. The decrease was attributable to a stock redemption totaling $3.0
million partially offset by FHLBank dividends paid in stock received during the three
months ended March 31, 2009 totaling $266,000.

Premises
and Equipment.Premises and equipment decreased $979,000, or 2.8%, to $34.3
million at March 31, 2009 compared to $35.3 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease was
primarily attributable to $960,000 of depreciation and amortization expense which was
partially offset by $140,000 in asset additions.

Other
Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets. Other real estate owned and
repossessed assets totaled $50.8 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $13.6 million
compared to $37.2 million at December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to
$15.9 million in additions (primarily loan foreclosures) partially offset by $1.7 million
in proceeds from the sale of foreclosed properties. The increase at March 31, 2009 was
primarily attributable to the foreclosure of a $4.4 million one-to-four family residential
development in Florida, a $3.6 million land development property in Nevada and a $1.7
million commercial real estate property in Nebraska. At March 31, 2009, other real estate
owned and repossessed assets primarily consisted of 10 commercial properties aggregating
$28.2 million and 156 residential properties totaling $22.5 million. Our provision for
other real estate owned losses totaled $476,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
We anticipate that our level of other real estate owned and repossessed assets may
continue to increase in 2009 due to the current economic environment. The significantly
depressed real estate market in many areas of the United States has resulted in increased
supplies of properties, depressed market values and longer holding periods. Our provision
for other real estate owned losses may continue to increase if our levels of other real
estate owned increase and real estate market values continue to face downward pressure.

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 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
          indicated 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 $4.4 million at March
31, 2009, a decrease of $321,000, or 6.8%, compared to $4.7 million at December 31, 2008
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 amortization
during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Mortgage
Servicing Rights. Mortgage servicing rights totaled $15.4 million at March
31, 2009, an increase of $591,000, or 4.0%, compared to $14.8 million at December 31,
2008. Mortgage servicing rights capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2009
totaled $5.0 million and were partially offset by $2.2 million in amortization expense. In
addition, we have established a valuation allowance related to our mortgage servicing
rights totaling $3.6 million at March 31, 2009 due to increased mortgage loan refinancing
activity related to the declining mortgage loan interest rate environment.

Other
Assets.Other assets declined $6.3 million, or 12.1%, to $45.9 million at
March 31, 2009 compared to $52.3 million at December 31, 2008. Other assets consist
primarily of prepaid expenses, miscellaneous receivables and other assets. At March 31,
2009, other assets included income taxes receivable of $20.9 million.

Other
assets include deferred tax benefits of $5.8 million and $1.8 million at March 31, 2009
and December 31, 2008, respectively. We have established a valuation allowance related to
our deferred tax benefits of $5.8 million and $1.8 million at March 31, 2009 and December
31, 2008, respectively. In asessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets, we
consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will be realized. We consider the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities
and carryback opportunities in making the assessment of the necessity of a valuation
allowance. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company determined a valuation
allowance was necessary, largely based on the evidence represented by a
cumulative loss in the most recent three-year period. In addition, general uncertainty
surrounding future economic and business conditions has increased the potential
volatility and uncertainty of projected earnings. We evaluate our deferred tax assets and
the related valuation allowance quarterly.

In
February 2009, we received proceeds from a lawsuit filed in July 2008 on a bond insuring
the Bank for up to $7.5 million against fraudulent losses related to TransLand Financial
Services, a Florida-based mortgage broker. The $7.5 million insurance claim was recorded
as a receivable during the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

# Liabilities and
Stockholders Equity

General.          Our
total liabilities were $3.1 billion at March 31, 2009, an increase of $22.3
          million, or 0.7%, compared to $3.0 billion at December 31, 2008. The increase
in           total liabilities was primarily attributable to an increase in deposits.

Deposits.          Deposits
increased $36.3 million, or 1.6%, to $2.3 billion at March 31, 2009           compared to
December 31, 2008.

Our
transaction accounts (checking, savings and money market) totaled $974.2 million at March
31, 2009, an increase of $43.1 million, or 4.6%, compared to $931.2 million at December
31, 2008. The number of transaction accounts increased by a net 327 accounts, or 0.2%, to
136,055 accounts compared to 135,728 accounts at December 31, 2008. The weighted average
interest rate of our transaction accounts was 0.64% at March 31, 2009 compared to 0.91% at
December 31, 2008. The weighted average interest rate of our time deposits was 3.29% at
March 31, 2009 compared to 3.43% at December 31, 2008.

FHLBank
Advances and Other Borrowings. Our FHLBank advances and other borrowings
totaled $648.6 million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $20.2 million, or 3.0%, compared
to $668.8 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease in FHLBank advances and other
borrowings at March 31, 2009 was primarily attributable to a $15.1 million decline in
retail repurchase agreements and the repayment of a $5.0 million FHLBank fixed-rate note
payable as it matured during the quarter. We did not have an outstanding balance on our
FHLBank line of credit at both March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The weighted average
interest rate on our FHLBank advances and other borrowings was 4.35% at March 31, 2009, an
increase of five basis points compared to 4.30% at December 31, 2008.

Accrued
Expenses and Other Liabilities. Our accrued expenses and other liabilities
totaled $28.8 million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 9.8%, compared to
$32.0 million at December 31, 2008. The primary items comprising accrued expenses and
other liabilities are deferred compensation agreements, accrued salaries and vacation,
loan servicing payments and other miscellaneous accrued expenses.

Stockholders
Equity. At March 31, 2009, stockholders equity totaled $260.7
million, a decrease of $10.0 million, or 3.7%, compared to $270.6 million at December 31,
2008. The decrease in stockholders equity was primarily the result of a net loss of
$9.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. We have suspended the payment
of our quarterly cash dividend in order to preserve our capital and to comply with the
provisions of our supervisory agreement with the OTS.

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 25,068 shares of our outstanding common stock to
support employee benefit programs during the year ended December 31, 2008. We did not
repurchase any shares of our outstanding common stock during the three months ended March
31, 2009. At March 31, 2009, the total remaining common stock repurchase authority was
1,772,524 shares. In accordance with our supervisory agreement with the OTS, we are
prohibited from repurchasing our common stock, excluding repurchases to support existing
stock-based employee benefit plans, until we receive a written notice of non-objection
from the OTS.

Comparison of Operating Results
for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

Net
Loss. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $9.8 million,
or $0.58 per diluted and basic share, compared to a net loss of $60.9 million, or $3.60
per diluted and basic share, for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The net loss for
the three months ended March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 2009 were negatively
impacted by provisions for loan losses totaling $12.2 million. Financial performance for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 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 months
ended March 31, 2009 were negatively affected by the decrease in the average yield earned
on loans receivable, the decrease in the average balance of loans receivable and the
increased balance of our nonperforming loans as we do not recognize interest income on
nonperforming loans (loans 90 days or more past due).

Net
interest income before provision for loan losses totaled $16.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $6.6 million, or 28.4%, compared to $23.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in net interest income for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008
was primarily attributable to a 132 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on
loans receivable and a $153.9 million decline in the average balance of loans receivable.
The decrease in the average yield earned on loans receivable for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 was negatively affected by foregone interest on nonperforming loans.

Our
average interest rate spread for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was 1.83%
and 2.47%, respectively. The decrease in our average interest rate spread was primarily
attributable to the decrease in the average yield earned on loans receivable, the decrease
in the average balance of loans receivable and an increased balance of nonperforming
loans.

The
average yield on interest-earning assets was 4.71% for the three months ended March 31,
2009, a 161 basis point decrease compared to 6.32% for the three months ended March 31,
2008. The decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 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 March 31, 2009 and 2008 was 5.34% and 6.66%, respectively.

Our
net interest margin (net interest income (annualized) divided by average interest-earning
assets) declined to 2.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 2.85% for
the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in our net interest margin was
attributable to the factors described above.

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.

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 March 31, 2009 our nonperforming loans
totaled $159.9 million, an increase of $32.8 million, or 25.8%, compared to $127.1 million
at March 31, 2008.

Interest
Expense.Our total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was
$20.6 million, a decrease of $7.5 million, or 26.8%, compared to $28.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008. Interest expense on deposits totaled $13.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $7.2 million, or 34.6%, compared to
$20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The average balance of our
interest-bearing deposits declined $54.0 million, or 2.4%, to $2.2 billion for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $2.3 billion for the three months ended March 31,
2008. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 2.45% and 3.66% for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest expense on FHLBank advances
and other borrowings declined $374,000, or 5.0%, to $7.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
The average balance of our FHLBank advances and other borrowings totaled $658.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $4.2 million, or 0.6%, compared
to $662.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The average rate paid on
FHLBank advances and other borrowings was 4.29% and 4.49% for the three months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Additionally, the average balance of our interest-bearing
liabilities totaled $2.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of
$58.2 million, or 2.0%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.

The
decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the
same period one year ago was primarily attributable to the decrease in the average rate
paid on deposits.

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 monthly 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, classifying
loans pursuant to a grading system and consideration of a series of qualitative factors.
These loss factors are developed using our historical loan loss experience for each group
of loans as further adjusted for specific factors, including the following:

| |  | 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.
| | - | -----------------------------------

In
addition, we use information about specific borrower situations, including their financial
position, work-out plans and estimated collateral values under various liquidation
scenarios to estimate the risk and amount of potential loss. 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.

We
recorded a provision for loan losses of $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2009 compared to $39.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of
$27.8 million or 69.5%. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we charged off $24.4 million
of our allowance for loan losses related to loans which were reclassified to loans held for sale.
Our provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was primarily attributable to the
following:

| |  | Nonperforming
Loans  Nonperforming loans (loans 90 or more days delinquent)
totaled $159.9 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $32.8 million , or 25.8%,
compared to $127.1 million at March 31, 2008.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Delinquent
Loans  Delinquent loans (loans 30-89 days delinquent) totaled $97.9
million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $48.8 million, or 99.5%, compared to $49.1
million at March 31, 2008.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Impaired
Loans  Impaired loans totaled $201.2 million at March 31, 2009, an
increase of $54.4 million, or 37.1%, compared to $146.8 million at March 31, 2008. The
decrease in our allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009 was primarily attributable to $12.2 million of
charge-offs of allowances established in prior periods associated with impaired loans.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

| |  | Qualitative
Factors  As discussed above, our analysis of the allowance for loan
losses and the associated provision for loan losses includes several qualitative factors.
During 2007 and 2008 and the first three months of 2009, our provision for loan losses has been negatively affected by
the economic conditions prevalent in most areas of the United States which has in many
cases negatively affected the value of the collateral securing loans. Our provision for
loan losses has also been affected by the upward trending of delinquent, nonperforming
and impaired loans as well as our levels of charge-offs and recoveries.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We
anticipate that our provision for loan losses may continue to have a negative effect on
earnings due to general economic conditions which have had a significant impact on real
estate values. With further deterioration of general economic conditions, we would also
expect that our current levels of delinquent, nonperforming and impaired loans may
increase in 2009 which would result in additional provisions for loan losses.

Noninterest
Income.Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $8.2
million, a decrease of $50,000, or 0.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31,
2008.

|                                               

Noninterest
income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 includes a $3.3 million increase in gains
on the sale of loans held for sale which was partially offset by a $2.0 million increase
in our mortgage servicing right valuation allowance. The increase in our mortgage
servicing right valuation allowance is primarily due to projected increases in loan
prepayments due to increased refinancing activity.

|                                                       

The
decrease in noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the
same period one year ago was primarily attributable to a $42.1 million goodwill impairment
charge recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in our
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance premium was primarily
attributable to increased deposit insurance assessments rates set forth by the FDIC to
replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund and increase the deposit insurance reserve ratio.

Income
Tax Expense(Benefit).Our income tax expense was $8,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 compared to an income tax benefit of $12.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008. The increase in our income tax expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 was primarily associated to no tax benefit being realized due to the
current net operating loss carry-back rules. Tax benefits are not available to the Company as long as
we remain in a net loss position.

# 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 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 March 31, 2009, we believe
we have adequate liquidity to fund the daily operations of the Bank for the foreseeable
future.

During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was $2.5
million. Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31,
2009 was $37.9 million and primarily related to cash inflows from matured investment
securities, loan payoffs and periodic payments and the redemption of FHLBank Topeka stock
partially offset by the purchase of available for sale investment and mortgage-backed
securities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $25.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 and consisted primarily of cash inflows from increased
deposits partially offset by decreases in our retail repurchase agreement and the
repayment of a FHLBank advance.

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 large portion of the maturing time deposits will be renewed with us.

The
average balance of our FHLBank advances and other borrowings was $658.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $662.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2008. To date, substantially all of our borrowings have consisted of FHLBank
advances. Pursuant to our collateral agreement 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. Under our collateral agreement with the FHLBank, our
borrowing capacity at March 31, 2009 was $681.4 million. Other collateral can be pledged
in the event additional borrowing capacity is required.

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 March 31,
2009, the maximum total dollar amount of such recourse was approximately $21.4 million.
Based on historical experience, at March 31, 2009, we established a liability of $710,000
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, 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%.

The
Company has agreed with the OTS to contribute additional capital above levels previously
required for the Bank to be deemed well-capitalized for regulatory purposes.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company contributed $29.1 million to the
Bank. In addition, the OTS has required that the Bank maintain a ratio of 11.0%  with
respect to total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets and a
ratio of 8.5%  with respect to core (Tier 1) capital. As of March 31,
2009, the Bank exceeded these elevated ratios mandated by the OTS. The actual capital
amounts and ratios at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are presented in the
following table:

|                           

In
the event that we continue to incur losses, this will significantly reduce our ability to
satisfy the minimum capital requirements applicable to us.  At March 31, 2009, we had
$12.3 million and $1.5 million of total risk-based capital and Tier 1 capital,
respectively, in excess of the minimum amounts required by the OTS under our supervisory
agreement.  There are several actions we could take to further our ability to maintain
minimum levels of regulatory capital in the event of further deterioration in our
business.  However, there can be no assurance that any or all of these actions would
allow us to satisfy our capital requirements.

# Recent Accounting
Developments

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, 2008. The following discussion identifies certain recently issued
accounting guidance.

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. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not
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. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not 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.

In
April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position  157-4 (FSP 157-4),  Determining  Fair Value
When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or  Liability  Have  Significantly
 Decreased  and  Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.  The proposed FASB Staff
Position  (FSP),  while emphasizing that the objective  of fair  value  measurement
 described  in SFAS  No.  157,  Fair  Value  Measurements,  remains unchanged,  provides
 additional guidance for determining whether market activity for a financial asset or
liability  has  significantly  decreased,  as well as for  identifying  circumstances
 that  indicate that transactions  are not  orderly.  This FSP  reiterates  that if a
market is  determined  to be inactive and the related  market  price is deemed to be
 reflective  of a  distressed  sale  price,  then  management judgment  may be required
to  estimate  fair value.  This FSP  identifies  factors to be  considered  when
determining  whether or not a market is inactive.  This FSP is  effective as of June 30,
2009,  with early adoption  permitted  as of March 31, 2009.  We did not elect to
 early-adopt  this FSP, and are  currently evaluating  the impact of adoption on our
 consolidated  financial  statements,  but we do not  anticipate that adoption will have
a material impact.

In
April  2009,  the FASB  issued  Staff  Position  No.  FAS 115-2  and FAS  124-2,
 Recognition  and Presentation  of  Other-Than-Temporary  Impairments.  This FSP changes
 existing  guidance for determining whether  impairment of debt  securities is
 other-than-temporary.  This FSP requires  other-than-temporary impairment  to be
 separated  into the amount  representing  the  decrease  in cash flows  expected  to be
collected  from a security  (referred to as credit  losses),  which is  recognized  in
 earnings,  and the amount related to other factors,  which is recognized in other
 comprehensive  income. The non-credit loss component of the  impairment  can only be
 classified in other  comprehensive  income if the holder of the security  concludes  (a)
that it does not intend to sell the  security and (b) that it is more likely than not
that it will not be required to sell the  security  before the security  recovers its
value.  If these two  conditions are not met, the  non-credit  loss component of the
impairment  must also be recognized in earnings.  Upon  adoption of this FSP,  the entity
is required to record a  cumulative-effect  adjustment, as of the beginning of the period
of adoption,  to reclassify the non-credit  loss component of previously recognized
 other-than-temporary  impairment  from retained  earnings to accumulated  other
 comprehensive income.  This FSP is effective as of June 30, 2009,  with early  adoption
 permitted as of March 31, 2009. We did not elect to  early-adopt  this FSP,  and are
 currently  evaluating  the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements,
but we do not anticipate that adoption will have a material impact.

In
April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,  Interim
 Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial  Instruments.  This proposed FSP would amend
SFAS No. 107,  Disclosures about Fair Value of  Financial  Instruments,  and  Accounting
 Principles  Board  Opinion No. 28,  Interim  Financial Reporting,  to require
 disclosures  about fair value of financial  instruments  in all interim  financial
statements.  Once adopted,  the disclosures  required by this FSP are to be provided
 prospectively.  This FSPs  requirements  would be effective as of June 30, 2009, with
early adoption permitted as of March 31, 2009.  We did not elect to  early-adopt  this
FSP,  and expect to provide the required  disclosures  as of June 30, 2009.

# 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, 2008. 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.
