NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
------------------------------------------------------
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the interim periods presented have been made. Such
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of
operations for the three months ended December 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year September 30, 1999 or any other interim period. The
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are
incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended September 30, 1998.
Note 2 - Cash Flow Presentation
----------------------
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash and amounts due from depository institutions,
investments in federal funds, and certificates of deposit with
maturities of 90 days or less.
Note 3 - Earnings Per Share
------------------
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the appropriate period.
Unearned ESOP shares are not included in outstanding shares. Diluted
EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares
outstanding as adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options and
unvested stock awards based on the "treasury stock" method. Information
relating to the calculations of net income per share of common stock is
summarized for the quarters ended December 31, as follows:

Note 4 - Reclassification and Correction of Press Release
------------------------------------------------
Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current year's method of presentation.
On February 5, 1999, the Company issued a Press Release to
announce its quarterly earnings. Subsequent to the issuance of the
press release, due to a mathematical error, earnings, basic and diluted
earnings per share decreased $16,000, $.01, and $.01, respectively.
Additionally, total assets and stockholders' equity decreased $16,000,
and $16,000, respectively. Such amounts were corrected as set forth in
this quarterly report.
Note 5 - Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------------------
During the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, the
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." The Statement requires that comprehensive
income, made up of all revenues, expenses, gains and losses, be
displayed in the Company's financial statements with the same
prominence as its other financial statements. The Company reported as a
loss of $155,453 of other comprehensive income for the three months
ended December 31, 1998. The Company did not have any other
comprehensive income for the three months ended December 31, 1997. The
Company has reported comprehensive income on the consolidated
statements of operations.

Item 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION ANDF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition
Total assets of the Company were $138,691,000 as of December 31, 1998,
compared to $132,876,000 at September 30, 1998, an increase of $5,815,000. This
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in mortgage backed securities
of $8,035,000, an increase in loans receivable of $2,485,000, an increase in
investments available for sale of $2,011,000, and an increase in federal funds
sold of $1,528,000. This was partially off-set by a decrease in interest-bearing
deposits in other banks of $7,195,000 and a decrease in cash of $1,168,000. The
net increase in the Company's assets was primarily the result of management's
continued strategy to maximize the high level of equity, diversify the Company's
balance sheet and increase profitability.
Total liabilities of the Company were $122,582,000 as of December 31,
1998, compared to $116,634,000 as of September 30, 1998, an increase of
$5,948,000. The increase was due to an increase in deposits, primarily
certificates of deposit, of $5,404,000, and an increase of advance payments by
borrowers for taxes and insurance of $438,000. The Company's successful
advertising campaign in 1998 of certificate of deposit products contributed to
the continued growth in certificates of deposit.
Stockholders' equity decreased $133,000 to $16,110,000 as of December
31, 1998 from $16,243,000 as of September 30, 1998. The decrease was due to an
increase of $155,000 in unrealized losses of investment securities, a dividend
of $114,000 and the repurchase of $114,000 of the Company's own stock. The
decrease was primarily off-set by the period's net income of $161,000 and shares
earned under stock-based benefit and bonus plans totaling $89,000.
Results of Operations
General
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1998 was $161,000,
as compared to $153,000 for the same period in 1997. The increase in net income
was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of $26,000, and
an increase in non-interest income of $45,000, partially off-set by an increase
in non-interest expenses of $61,000 and provision for income taxes of $3,000.
Interest Income
Total interest income for the three months ended December 31, 1998 was
$2,356,000 compared to $1,804,000 for the same period in 1997, an increase of
$552,000. Interest on loans decreased by $39,000. This decrease was attributable
to a $3,435,000 decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding, which was
partially off-set by an increase in the average yield on the loan portfolio to
7.71% for the three months ended December 31, 1998, compared to 7.57% for the
same period in 1997.
<PAGE>
Results of Operations - Continued
Interest Income - Continued
Interest and dividend income on investment securities increased by
$437,000 to $529,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $92,000
for December 31, 1997. The increase was a result of an increase in the average
dollar amount of investments outstanding of $26,773,000, off-set slightly by the
decline in the average rate to 6.58% for December 31, 1998, compared to 6.79%
for December 31, 1997.
Interest income on mortgage backed securities increased by $126,000 to
$173,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $47,000 for December
31, 1997. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average dollar
amount of mortgage backed securities outstanding of $9,547,000, which was
partially off-set by a decline in the weighted average rate to 5.60% from 6.77%
at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Other interest income increased by $28,000 to $178,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1998 from $150,000 for December 31, 1997. The increase
was primarily due to the increase in the average dollar amount of
interest-earning assets outstanding of $1,032,000 and an increase in the
weighted average rate of 6.73% for December 31, 1998, compared to 6.29% for
December 31, 1997.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense increased $526,000 to $1,456,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1998, compared to $930,000 for December 31, 1997.
Interest on deposits increased by $295,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1998, compared to December 31, 1997. The increase resulted from an increase
in the average dollar amount of time deposits of $21,430,000 following the
Bank's aggressive advertising campaign for certificates of deposit conducted
throughout fiscal 1998 and a $16,198,000 increase in the average dollar amount
of borrowings, principally FHLB advances, coupled with an increase in the
weighted average rate to 5.60% for December 31, 1998 from 5.26% for the same
period in 1997.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $15,000 for December 31, 1998 and for
December 31, 1997. Management monitors and adjusts its loan loss reserves based
upon its analysis of the loan portfolio. Reserves are increased by a charge to
income, the amount of which depends upon an analysis of the changing risks
inherent in the Company's loan portfolio and the relative status of the real
estate market and the economy in general. The Company has historically
experienced a limited amount of loan charge- offs and delinquencies. At December
31, 1998, management believes the allowance for loan losses is sufficient since
the loans are adequately secured. The assessment of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses involves subjective judgment regarding future events
and there can be no assurance that additional provisions for loan losses will
not be required in future periods.
<PAGE>
Results of Operations - Continued
Other Non-Interest Income
Other income for the three months ended December 31, 1998 increased
$45,000 to $98,000 from $53,000 for the same period 1997. The increase was the
result of the Bank's subsidiary Mapleleaf Mortgage Corporation ("MMC")
increasing its mortgage brokerage operation activities with third parties.
Non-Interest Expenses
Total non-interest expense increased $61,000 to $721,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1998 from $660,000 for December 31, 1997. The increase
was primarily the result of increases in salaries and related expenses,
depreciation, professional services, and other expenses. Those increases were
partially off-set by a decrease in advertising expenses. Salaries and related
expenses increased as a result of increased revenue-based compensation to MMC
employees. Depreciation of equipment increased $11,000 to $21,000, as the result
of the purchase of additional equipment during the latter part of fiscal 1998.
Professional services increased $12,000 as the result of an increase in these
services in part related to the 1998 special cash distribution to shareholders
and an increase in OTS assessments. The decrease in advertising of $13,000 was
due to an aggressive advertising campaign for certificates of deposit sponsored
in fiscal 1998.
Year 2000
During fiscal 1998, the Company adopted a Year 2000 Compliance Plan
(the "Plan") and established a Year 2000 Compliance Committee (the "Committee").
The objectives of the Plan and the Committee are to prepare the Company for the
new millennium. As recommended by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council, the Plan encompasses the following phases: Awareness, Assessment,
Renovation, Validation and Implementation. These phases will enable the Company
to identify risks, develop an action plan, perform adequate testing and complete
certification that its processing systems will be Year 2000 ready. Execution of
the Plan is currently on target. The Company is currently in Phase 4,
Validation, which includes testing and verifications of corrective actions.
Concurrently, the Company is also addressing some issues related to subsequent
phases. Prioritization of the most critical applications has been addressed,
along with contract and service agreements. The primary operating software for
the Company is obtained and maintained by an external provider of software (the
"External Provider"). The Company has maintained ongoing contact with this
vendor so that modification of the software for Year 2000 readiness is a top
priority and the testing Phase was completed in August of 1998. The Company has
contacted all other material vendors and suppliers regarding their Year 2000
state of readiness. Each of these third parties has delivered written assurance
to the Company that they expect to be Year 2000 compliant prior to the Year
2000. The Company is in the process of contacting all material customers and
non-information technology suppliers (i.e. utility systems, telephone systems
and security systems) readiness. The next Phase, the Implementation Phase, is to
certify that systems are Year 2000 ready, along with assurances that any new
systems are compliant on a going-forward basis. The Implementation Phase is
targeted for completion by September 30, 1999.

hardware and software. The Company does not anticipate that the related overall
costs will be material in any single year. In total, the Company estimates this
its cost for compliance will amount to approximately $186,000, employee time not
included. No assurance can be given that the Year 2000 Compliance Plan will be
completed successfully by the Year 2000, in which event the Company could incur
significant costs. If the External Provider is unable to resolve the potential
problem in time, the Company would likely experience significant data processing
delays, mistakes or failures. These delays, mistakes or failures could have a
significant adverse impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Contingency Plan
The Bank is currently developing a contingency plan (the "Plan")
specific to the Year 2000. The Plan will address the actions that would be
undertaken if critical business functions cannot be carried out in the normal
manner upon entering the next century due to computer system or supplier
failure. If such events occur, the Bank will input a manual posting plan that
will entail manual postings of transactions to the general ledger and hand
calculations of interest for both savings accounts and mortgages as well as the
calculations of dividends. The Bank has a number of employees who have been
employed by the Bank for at least 25 years who have experience in the manual
postings to the general ledger as well as the hand calculations of interest and
dividends. The Bank is currently devising a training program for all essential
personnel. Additionally, the Bank will have management personnel on site at each
office on the first business day of the Year 2000 to answer any concerns the
customer may have and offer any assistance to the Bank's employees.
Successful and timely completion of the Year 2000 project is based on
management's best estimates derived from various assumptions of future events,
which are inherently uncertain, including the progress and results of the
Company's External Provider, testing plans, and all vendors, suppliers and
customer readiness.
