(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  All adjustments are
of a normal and recurring nature and, in the opinion of management, the
statements include all adjustments considered necessary for fair
presentation.  Operating results for the three months ended March 30,
2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000.

     In preparing the financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues
and expenses for the period.  Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the
determination of the allowances for losses on loans and real estate
owned.  While management believes that these allowances are adequate,
future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in
economic conditions.

     Certain quarterly amounts for previous periods have been
reclassified to conform to the current quarter's presentation.

     Real estate owned is carried at fair value as of the date of
foreclosure minus any estimated disposal costs (the "new basis"), and
is subsequently carried at the lower of the new basis or fair value less
selling costs on the current measurement date.


(7) MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

     The Company accounts for mortgage servicing rights in accordance
with SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities."  SFAS No. 125 requires the
Company to calculate and recognize all retained servicing value
(including "normal servicing") at the time of a loan sale in which
servicing is retained.  These amounts for normal originated mortgage
servicing rights ("OMSRs") are recorded as assets and amortized as
offsets to future servicing income.  Impairment of OMSRs is assessed
based on the fair value of the rights on a pool by pool basis.  Fair
values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a market rate
of interest.

(9) SEGMENT INFORMATION

     In accordance with SFAS No. 131, the Company has identified two
principal operating segments for purposes of financial reporting:
Banking and Mortgage Banking.  These segments were determined based on
the Company's internal financial accounting and reporting processes and
are consistent with the information that is used to make operating
decisions and to assess the Company's performance by the Company's key
decision makers.

     The Mortgage Banking segment originates mortgage loans for sale to
investors and for the portfolio of the Banking segment.  The Banking
segment provides a full range of banking services through the Bank's
branch network, exclusive of mortgage loan originations.  A portion of
the income presented in the Mortgage Banking segment is derived from
sales of loans to the Banking segment based on a transfer pricing
methodology that is designed to approximate economic reality.  The Other
and Eliminations segment includes financial information from the parent
company plus inter-segment eliminations.

     The following table presents financial information from the
Company's operating segments for the periods indicated.  Dollar amounts
are expressed in thousands.

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


GENERAL

     The principal business of the Company is to provide banking
services through the Bank.  Specifically, the Bank obtains savings and
checking deposits from the public, then uses those funds to originate
and purchase real estate loans and other loans. The Bank also purchases
mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and other investment securities
from time to time as conditions warrant.  In addition to customer
deposits, the Bank obtains funds from the sale of loans held-for-sale,
the sale of securities available-for-sale, repayments of existing
mortgage assets, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB").  The Bank's primary sources of income are interest on loans,
MBS, and investment securities plus customer service fees and income
from mortgage banking activities.  Expenses consist primarily of
interest payments on customer deposits and other borrowings and general
and administrative costs.

     The Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and is subject
to periodic examination by both entities.  The Bank is also subject to
the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("FRB"), which establishes rules regarding reserves that must be
maintained against customer deposits.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets
     The Company's total assets as of March 31, 2000, were $909.6
million, an increase of $83.9 million from September 30, 1999, the prior
fiscal year end.

     During the six months ended March 31, 2000, securities available
for sale decreased $0.2 million, which was the result of investment
maturities.

     Derivative financial instruments are carried at estimated fair
value in accordance with SFAS No. 115.  The Bank does not actively trade
in derivative financial instruments and management does not currently
use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk or for
other hedging strategies.

     As the Bank originates mortgage loans each month, management
evaluates the existing market conditions to determine which loans will
be held in the Bank's portfolio and which loans will be sold in the
secondary market.  Loans sold in the secondary market can be sold with
servicing released or converted into MBS and sold with the loan
servicing retained by the Bank.  At the time of each loan commitment, a
decision is made to either hold the loan for investment, hold it for
sale with servicing retained, or hold it for sale with servicing
released.  Management  monitors market conditions to decide whether
loans should be held in portfolio or sold and if sold, which method of
sale is appropriate.  During the six months ended March 31, 2000, the
Bank originated and purchased $131.5 million in mortgage loans held for
sale, $184.3 million in mortgage loans held for investment, and $15.3
million in other loans.  This total of $331.1 million in loans
originated compares to $331.2 million in loans originated over the six
months ended March 31, 1999.

     Included in the $79.3 million in loans held for sale as of March
31, 2000, are $12.0 million in mortgage loans held for sale with
servicing released.  Also included in loans held for sale as of March
31, 2000, are $0.4 million in commercial residential loans insured by
the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA").  The Bank holds options to
sell these insured loans back to the FHA during specified periods in the
future at specified prices.  All loans held for sale are carried at the
lower of cost or fair value.

                                    11
<PAGE>

     The Bank classifies problem assets as "substandard," "doubtful"
or "loss."  Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses,
and it is possible that the Bank will sustain some loss unless the
deficiencies are corrected.  Doubtful assets have the same defects as
substandard assets plus other weaknesses that make collection or full
liquidation improbable.  Assets classified as loss are considered
uncollectible and of such little value that a specific loss allowance is
warranted.


     The following table summarizes the Bank's classified assets as
reported to the OTS.  Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

                            =====================================


     When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either
substandard or doubtful, regulations require specific loss allowances to
reduce their book value to fair value.  In addition, management
establishes GVA ("general valuation allowances") for other possible
loan losses.  GVA are allowances that recognize the inherent risks
associated with lending activities but, unlike specific allowances, have
not been allocated to particular problem assets.  When an entity
classifies a problem asset as loss, it is required to establish a
specific allowance for 100% of the asset balance.  The Bank's
classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances
are subject to review by the OTS who may require additional GVA or
specific loss allowances.

     Management believes that the specific loss allowances and GVA are
adequate.  While management uses available information to determine
these allowances, future allowances may be necessary because of changes
in economic conditions.  Also, regulatory agencies (OTS and FDIC) review
the Bank's allowance for losses as part of their examinations, and they
may require the Bank to recognize additional loss provisions based on
the information available at the time of their examinations.


Liabilities and Equity
     Customer deposit accounts decreased $32.3 million during the six
months ended March 31, 2000.  The weighted average rate on customer
deposits as of March 31, 2000, was 5.04%, a increase from 4.79% as of
March 31, 1999.

     Advances from the FHLB were $216.7 million as of March 31, 2000, an
increase of $48.6 million from September 30, 1999.  During the six-month
period, the Bank borrowed $89.7 million of new advances and repaid $41.1
million.  Management uses FHLB advances at various times as an alternate
funding source to provide operating liquidity and to fund the
origination and purchase of mortgage loans.

     Escrows were $3.7 million as of March 31, 2000, a decrease of $2.6
million from September 30, 1999.  This decrease is due to amounts paid
for borrowers' taxes during the fourth calendar quarter of 1999.


                                    12

<PAGE>


     Total stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2000, was $83.9 million
(9.22% of total assets).  This compares to a book value of $78.9 million
(9.55% of total assets) at September 30, 1999.  On a per share basis,
stockholders' equity was $9.30 on March 31, 2000, compared to $8.81 on
September 30, 1999.

     The Company paid cash dividends on its common stock of $0.08 on
November 26, 1999, and $0.10 on February 25, 2000.  Subsequent to the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company announced a cash dividend of
$0.10 per share to be paid on May 26, 2000, to stockholders of record as
of May 5, 2000.

     Total stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2000, includes an
unrealized loss of $646,000, net of income tax, on available for sale
securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115.  This amount is reflected in
the line item "Accumulated other comprehensive loss."

Ratios

     The following table illustrates the Company's return on assets
(annualized net income divided by average total assets); return on
equity (annualized net income divided by average equity); equity-to-

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of three months and six months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company had net
income of $3,545,000 or $0.39 per share.  This compares to net income of
$3,408,000 or $0.38 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

     For the six months ended March 31, 2000, the Company had net income
of $6,832,000 or $0.76 per share.  This compares to net income of
$6,422,000 or $0.71 per share during the same period in the prior year.

Net Interest Margin
     The Company's net interest margin is comprised of the difference
("spread") between interest income on loans, MBS and investments and
the interest cost of customer deposits and other borrowings.  Management
monitors net interest spreads and, although constrained by certain
market, economic, and competition factors, it establishes loan rates and
customer deposit rates that maximize net interest margin.

     The following table presents the total dollar amounts of interest
income and expense on the indicated amounts of average interest-earning
assets or interest-costing liabilities for the six months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999.  Average yields reflect reductions due to non-accrual
loans.  Once a loan becomes 90 days delinquent, any interest that has
accrued up to that time is reserved and no further interest income is
recognized unless the loan is paid current.  Average balances and
weighted average yields for the periods include all accrual and non-
accrual loans.  The table also presents the interest-earning assets and
yields for each respective period.  Dollar amounts are expressed in
thousands.

</TABLE>


     Net interest margin before loan loss provision for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, increased $1.4 million from the same period in the
prior year.  Specifically, interest on loans increased $3.5 million, due
primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding.
This was offset by an increase in total interest expense for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, of $2.0 million, which was due primarily to
an increase in the average balances of customer deposits and FHLB
advances.


                                    14

<PAGE>

     Net interest margin before loan loss provision for the six months
ended March 31, 2000, increased $2.7 million from the same period in the
prior year.  Specifically, interest on loans increased $6.1 million,
$5.5 million of which was due to an increase in the average balance of
loans outstanding and $0.5 million due to an increase in yield on loans.
Total interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2000,
increased $3.1 million from the same period in the prior year, which was
due primarily to an increase in the average balances of customer
deposits and FHLB advances.  The total yield on interest-earning assets
increased 26 basis points to 8.81% during the six months ended March 31,
2000, compared to 8.55% in the prior year.  Also during the six-month
period, the weighted average cost of total liabilities was 5.04%,
compared to 4.95% in the prior year, an increase of 9 basis points.

     The Company's net interest margin is impacted by changes in market
interest rates, which have varied greatly over time.  Changing interest
rates affect the level of prepayments on mortgages, the demand for new
mortgage loans, and the supply and interest cost of customer deposits
and borrowings used to fund interest-earning assets.  Management
monitors the Company's net interest spreads (the difference between
yields received on assets and paid on liabilities) and, although
constrained by market conditions, economic conditions, and prudent
underwriting standards, it offers deposit rates and loan rates that
maximize net interest income.  Management does not predict interest
rates, but instead attempts to fund the Company's assets with
liabilities of a similar duration to minimize the impact of changing
interest rates on the Company's net interest margin.  Since the relative
spread between financial assets and liabilities is constantly changing,
the Company's current net interest spread may not be an indication of
future net interest income.

Provision for Loan Losses
     The Company's provision for loan losses of  $150,000 during the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, was an increase of $75,000 over the three
months ended March 31, 1999.  Provision for loan losses was $300,000 for
the six months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $150,000 from the
prior year.  As stated above, management believes that the provisions
for loss are adequate.  These provisions can fluctuate based on changes
in economic conditions or changes in the information available to
management.  Also, regulatory agencies review the Company's allowances
for losses as a part of their examination process and they may require
changes in loss provision amounts based on information available at the
time of their examination.  Management establishes allowances for losses
based on current economic values and any disruptions in the real estate
market could cause management to increase the provision for loss.

Other Income
     Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2000, decreased
$978,000 from the same period in the prior year.  Specifically, gain on
loans held for sale decreased $1.0 million due to a decrease in the
volume of loan sales.  This was offset by an increase of $265,000 in
customer service fees due to increased customer usage of check cards and
ATM cards.  Also in the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Bank had
impairment on capitalized mortgage servicing rights of $20,000, compared
to a recovery of impairment of $207,000 in the period a year ago.
Changes in the impairment of mortgage servicing rights are based on
changes in prepayments and estimated prepayment speeds of the underlying
mortgage loans.

     Other income for the six months ended March 31, 2000, decreased
$1.6 million from the same period in the prior year.  Specifically, gain
on loans held for sale decreased $2.3 million due to a decrease in the
volume of loan sales.  The sale of securities available for sale that
resulted in a gain of $95,000 in the prior period did not recur in the
current period.
These decreases were offset by an increase of $384,000 in customer
service fees due to increased customer usage of check cards and ATM
cards.  Loan servicing fees increased $504,000 from the prior loan
servicing fees, which was a result of decreased amortization of
capitalized mortgage servicing rights.

General and Administrative Expenses
     Total general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000, increased $151,000 from the same quarter in the prior
year.  Total general and administrative expenses for the six months
ended March 31, 2000, increased $189,000 from the prior year.  These
increases for the three-month and six-month periods are 3.2% and 2.0%,
respectively.

Income Taxes
     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The most recent audit of the
Bank's tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service was completed during
the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

     The Company did not experience any problems with its equipment,
computer systems, data service bureau, or other automated systems
related to the Year 2000 issue.  Since the renovations made to the
Company's systems over the last three years were successful, no part of
the contingency or business resumption plans were implemented.
Management and the Board of Directors are confident that all Year 2000
related issues are in the past, however, management is continuing to
monitor all systems for any unknown problems that could arise after
December 31, 1999, and is ready to implement the contingency and
business resumption plans if needed.

     The Company's Year 2000 implementation plan cost approximately
$400,000, most of which is the cost of capitalized computer hardware for
the wide area network.  All of this cost had been incurred as of
December 31, 1999.

REGULATION

     The Bank is a member of the FHLB System and its customers' deposits
are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the
FDIC.  The Bank is subject to regulation by the OTS as its chartering
authority.  Since passage of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA" or the "Act"), the
FDIC also has regulatory control over the Bank.  The transactions of
SAIF-insured institutions are limited by statute and regulations that
may require prior supervisory approval in certain instances.
Institutions also must file reports with regulatory agencies regarding
their activities and their financial condition.  The OTS and FDIC make
periodic examinations of the Bank to test compliance with the various
regulatory requirements.  The OTS can require an institution to re-value
its assets based on appraisals and to establish specific valuation
allowances.  This supervision and regulation is intended primarily for
the protection of depositors.  Also, savings institutions are subject to
certain reserve requirements under Federal Reserve Board regulations.

Insurance of Accounts
     The SAIF insures the Bank's customer deposit accounts to a maximum
of $100,000 for each insured member.  Deposit insurance premiums are
determined using a Risk-Related Premium Schedule ("RRPS"), a matrix
which places each insured institution into one of three capital groups
and one of three supervisory groups.  Currently, deposit insurance
premiums range from 0 to 27 basis points of the institution's total
deposit accounts, depending on the institution's risk classification.
The Bank is currently considered "well capitalized", which is the most
favorable capital group and supervisory subgroup.  SAIF-insured
institutions are also assessed a premium to service the interest on
Financing Corporation ("FICO") debt.

Regulatory Capital Requirements
     At March 31, 2000, the Bank exceeds all capital requirements
prescribed by the OTS.  To calculate these requirements, a thrift must
deduct any investments in and loans to subsidiaries that are engaged in
activities not permissible for a national bank.  As of March 31, 2000,
the Bank did not have any investments in or loans to subsidiaries
engaged in activities not permissible for national banks.

     The following tables summarize the relationship between the Bank's
capital and regulatory requirements.  Dollar amounts are expressed in
thousands.

Interest Rate Risk Component
     The OTS has adopted a rule which requires savings institutions with
a "greater than normal" level of interest rate exposure to deduct
amounts from their total capital for the purpose of calculating the
risk-based capital requirement.  The deduction is an amount equal to
one-half of the difference between the institution's measured exposure
and the "normal" exposure level (i.e., 2% of the estimated economic
value of the institution's assets).  The rule measures interest rate
risk as the decline in Net Portfolio Value that would result from a 200
basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates.  The rule
sets forth a description of valuation methodologies for assets,
liabilities, and off-balance sheet items.  Subsidiaries that are deemed
to be controlled by an institution under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America will be consolidated for
purposes of calculating interest rate risk.  Although the interest rate
component was originally scheduled to become effective by December 31,
1994, the OTS has notified institutions to delay implementation until
further notice.

Loans to One Borrower
     Institutions are prohibited from lending to any one borrower in
excess of 15% of the Bank's unimpaired capital plus unimpaired surplus,
or 25% of unimpaired capital plus unimpaired surplus if the loan is
secured by certain readily marketable collateral.  Renewals that exceed
the loans-to-one-borrower limit are permitted if the original borrower
remains liable and no additional funds are disbursed.  As of March 31,
2000, the Bank had no loans that exceeded the loans to one borrower
limit.

Investment in Subsidiaries
     Investments in and extensions of credit to subsidiaries not engaged
in activities permissible for national banks must generally be deducted
from capital.  As of March 31, 2000, the Bank did not have any
investments in or advances to subsidiaries engaged in activities not
permissible for national banks.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Bank generates liquidity primarily from savings deposits and
repayments on loans, investments, and MBS.  Liquidity measures the
ability to meet deposit withdrawals and lending commitments.  For
secondary sources of liquidity, the Bank has the ability to sell assets
held for sale, can borrow from primary securities dealers on a
collateralized basis, and can use the FHLB of Des Moines' credit
facility.  The Bank, as a member of the FHLB System, is subject to
regulations that require the maintenance of liquidity ratios (daily
average liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable customer
deposits and current borrowings).  The regulatory liquidity requirement
may vary depending on economic conditions and activity of customer
deposits.  For the month of March 2000, the required liquidity ratio was
4%, and the Bank's average regulatory liquidity ratio was 8.6%.

     Fluctuations in the level of interest rates typically impact
prepayments on mortgage loans and MBS.  During periods of falling
interest rates, these prepayments increase and a greater demand exists
for new loans.  The Bank's customer deposits are partially impacted by
area competition.  Management is not currently aware of any other market
or economic conditions that could materially impact the Bank's future
ability to meet obligations as they come due.
