              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions  to Form 10-QSB.  Accordingly,
they do not include all the  information  and  footnotes  required by  generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management,  the unaudited  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
adjustments)   necessary  to  present  fairly  the  financial  condition  of  PS
Financial,  Inc. as of June 30, 2000 and the results of its  operations  for the
three month and six month periods then ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The results
for the interim  periods  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be
expected for the entire fiscal year.

The  condensed  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the
audited financial  statements and accompanying notes (or "notes thereto") of the
Company for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

granted in 1997 at an exercise  price of $14.00.  In January  1998,  the Company
paid a special  dividend  which resulted in a change in equity  structure.  This
event  allowed the Company to modify the stock option  agreements  to adjust the
exercise  price to $11.02,  which was an adjustment in direct  proportion to the
decrease in exercise price as compared to market value as a result of the change
in equity structure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999

Total  assets  decreased  $5.8  million to $115.6  million at June 30, 2000 from
$121.4  million at December 31,  1999,  due mainly to decreases in cash and cash
equivalents of $1.4 million, net loans receivable of $2.5 million and securities
available-for-sale of $2.0 million.

The Company's net loans receivable decreased by $2.5 million to $69.7 million at
June 30,  2000 from $72.2  million  at  December  31,  1999 as a result of lower
demand due to rising mortgage rates. Securities  available-for-sale decreased by
$2.0  million to $39.2  million at June 30, 2000 from $41.2  million at December
31, 1999, as  maturities of equity  securities  and  principal  repayments  from
mortgage backed  securities were used to pay for treasury shares tendered in the
dutch auction tender offer. Cash and cash equivalents  decreased by $1.4 million
to $1.9 million at June 30, 2000 from $3.3 million at December 31, 1999.

Total  liabilities  at June 30,  2000 were  $101.3  million  compared  to $102.5
million at December  31, 1999,  a decrease of $1.2  million.  During the period,
deposits  decreased  $1.4  million to $62.6  million at June 30, 2000 from $64.0
million at December 31, 1999 as a result of interest  sensitive deposits seeking
higher yields.

Stockholders'  equity  at June 30,  2000 was  $14.3  million  compared  to $18.9
million  at  December  31,  1999,  a decrease  of $4.6  million,  or 24.3%,  due
primarily to the purchase of $4.4 million of treasury stock in the dutch auction
tender  offer,  a  $449,000  increase  in  the  unrealized  loss  on  securities
available-for-sale,   and  payment  of  regular  dividends   totaling  $401,000,
partially  offset by net income of $638,000.

Comparison  of  Operating  Results for the Three  Months Ended June 30, 2000 and
June 30, 1999.

General
Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $252,000,  a decrease
of $191,000,  or 43.1%, from net earnings of $443,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999.  The  decrease in net earnings is primarily  due to a decrease in
the ratio of  average  interest  earning  assets  to  average  interest  bearing
liabilities  as a result  of the  completion  of the  Company's  modified  dutch
auction tender offer in which interest  earning assets and additional  debt were
used to fund the purchase. Also contributing to the decrease in earnings was the
loss on sale of securities,  as issuers  exercised call options before  maturity
and an  increase  in  professional  fees due to the proxy  contest at the annual
meeting.

Interest Income
Interest  income  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  2000 was $2.2  million
compared to $2.0 million for the three  months ended June 30, 1999,  an increase
of  $177,000,  or 8.9%.  The  increase in  interest  income was the result of an
increase in the average balance of  interest-earning  assets primarily due to an
increase in the average balance of loans receivable.

Interest Expense
Interest  expense  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 was $1.3  million
compared to $990,000 for the three  months  ended June 30, 1999,  an increase of
$300,000,  or 30.3%.  The increase in interest  expense was primarily due to the
increased  average  balance  of  interest-bearing  liabilities  during the three
months ended June 30, 2000  compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999, as
well as an increase in the  Company's  cost of funds due to an increase in short
term deposit rates.

Provision for Loan Losses
The Bank's  provision for loan losses was $8,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2000  compared to zero for the three months ended June 30, 1999. At June 30,
2000, the Bank's  allowance for loan losses totaled  $281,000,  or 0.4% of total
loans.  The  amount  of the  provision  and  allowance  for  losses  on loans is
influenced by current  economic  conditions,  actual loss  experience,  industry
trends  and  other  factors,  such as  adverse  economic  conditions,  including
declining  real estate values,  in the Bank's market area. In addition,  various
regulatory  agencies,   as  an  integral  part  of  their  examination  process,
periodically  review the Bank's  allowance  for loan losses.  Such  agencies may
require the Bank to provide  additions  to the  allowance  based upon  judgments
which differ from those of management.  The absence of a loan loss provision for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 was indicative of  management's  assessment
of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, given the trends in historical
loss experience of the portfolio and current economic conditions, as well as the
fact that the  majority  of loans are  single-family  residential  loans and the
loan-to-values  are generally less than 80%.  Although  management uses the best
information available,  future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due
to economic,  operating,  regulatory and other conditions that may be beyond the
Bank's control.

Past due loan  balances,  delinquent  greater  than 30  days,  at June 30,  2000
remained  the same at $4.1  million  compared to $4.1  million at June 30, 1999.
Included in the past due loan balances are  non-accruing  loans at June 30, 2000
which totaled $532,000 compared to $258,000 at June 30, 1999.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest  income  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  2000 was a loss of
$11,000  compared to income of $40,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The decrease was  primarily  due to a net $45,000 loss on the sale of securities
in 2000,  partially  offset by a $12,000 increase in other  noninterest  income,
including $9,000 from the gain on sale of foreclosed assets.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest  expense  was  $488,000  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000
compared to $407,000 for the three  months  ended June 30, 1999,  an increase of
$81,000.  The  increase  was  primarily  a  result  of  a  $59,000  increase  in
professional fees related to the proxy contest at the annual meeting.

Income Taxes
Income taxes were  $107,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
$179,000 for the three  months  ended June 30,  1999, a decrease of $72,000,  or
40.2%.  The decrease was primarily  the result of a $263,000  decrease in pretax
earnings.

Comparison of Operating  Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and June
30, 1999.

General
Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $638,000, a decrease of
$164,000,  or 20.4%, from net earnings of $802,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1999.  The decrease in net earnings is primarily due to a $106,000  increase
in  professional  fees  and a  $103,000  net  loss on the  sale  of  securities,
partially offset by a $47,000 decrease in data processing fees.

Interest Income
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $4.4 million compared
to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $655,000,
or 17.4%.  The increase in interest  income was the result of an increase in the
average balance of  interest-earning  assets primarily due to an increase in the
average balance of loans receivable.

Interest Expense
Interest  expense  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000  was $2.5  million
compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999,  an increase of
$657,000,  or 34.8%.  The increase in interest  expense was primarily due to the
increased average balance of interest-bearing  liabilities during the six months
ended June 30, 2000  compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999,  as well as
an  increase  in the  Company's  cost of funds due to an  increase in short term
deposit rates.

Provision for Loan Losses
The Bank's  provision  for loan losses was $15,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2000  compared to zero for the six months ended June 30,  1999.  At June 30,
2000, the Bank's  allowance for loan losses totaled  $281,000,  or 0.4% of total
loans.  The  amount  of the  provision  and  allowance  for  losses  on loans is

to economic,  operating,  regulatory and other conditions that may be beyond the
Bank's control.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest  income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was a loss of $32,000
compared  to income of $60,000  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999.  The
decrease was primarily due to a $103,000 loss on the sale of securities in 2000,
partially offset by a $29,000 increase in other income,  including  $18,000 from
the gain on sale of foreclosed assets.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $924,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to $819,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $105,000. The
increase was primarily a result of a $37,000  increase in  compensation  expense
and a $106,000  increase in  professional  fees,  partially  offset by a $47,000
decrease in data processing expenses. Data processing expense was higher in 1999
due to a system conversion that was completed in the first quarter of 1999.

Income Taxes
Income taxes were  $256,000  for the six months ended June 30, 2000  compared to
$306,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1999,  a decrease of  $50,000,  or
16.3%. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in pretax earnings.

Asset/Liability Management
In an attempt to manage its  exposure to changes in interest  rates,  management
monitors the Company's interest rate risk. The Board of Directors meets at least
quarterly to review the Company's interest rate risk position and profitability.
The  Board  of  Directors  also  reviews  the  Company's  portfolio,  formulates
investment strategies and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions
to assure  attainment of the Company's  objectives in the most effective manner.
In   addition,   the  Board   reviews  on  a  quarterly   basis  the   Company's
asset/liability  position,  including simulations of the effect on the Company's
capital of various interest rate scenarios.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In managing its asset/liability mix, PS Financial, depending on the relationship
between long- and  short-term  interest  rates,  market  conditions and consumer
preference,  often places more emphasis on managing net interest  margin than on
better  matching the interest rate  sensitivity of its assets and liabilities in
an effort to enhance net interest income. Management believes that the increased
net interest  income  resulting from a mismatch in the maturity of its asset and
liability  portfolios can, during periods of declining or stable interest rates,
provide  high  enough  returns to justify the  increased  exposure to sudden and
unexpected increases in interest rates.

The Company's  interest rate risk increased during the twelve months ended March
31, 2000 due to the large  increase  in fixed rate  loans,  funded by fixed rate
time deposits and FHLB advances. However, management has taken a number of steps
to limit to some extent its interest rate risk.  First,  the Company focuses its
fixed rate loan  originations  on loans with  maturities of 15 years or less. At
June 30, 2000,  $52.4  million,  or 94.9% of the  Company's  one- to four family
residential  loan portfolio  consisted of fixed rate loans having original terms
to maturity of 15 years or less.  Second, the Company offers balloon loans of 10
years or less in an attempt to decrease its asset/liability mismatch. Third, the
Company   has   maintained   a   mortgage-backed   securities   portfolio   with
adjustable-rates.  At June 30, 2000, adjustable rate mortgage-backed  securities
totaled $5.0 million which represented 4.3% of interest-earning  assets. Fourth,
the Company has  attempted to reinvest  the  proceeds of most of its  borrowings
into assets with maturities  which are anticipated to be similar to those of its
borrowings.  Finally,  a substantial  proportion  of the  Company's  liabilities
consists of passbook  savings  accounts  which are believed by  management to be
somewhat less sensitive to interest rate changes than certificate accounts.

Generally, the investment policy of the Company is to invest funds among various
categories of  investments  and  maturities  based upon the  Company's  need for
liquidity, to achieve the proper balance between its desire to minimize risk and
maximize  yield,  to provide  collateral  for  borrowings,  and to  fulfill  the
Company's  asset/liability  management policies.  Investments  generally include
interest-bearing  deposits in other federally  insured  financial  institutions,
FHLB stock, U.S. Government securities and municipal securities.

PS  Financial's  cost of funds  responds to changes in interest rates due to the
relatively short-term nature of its deposit portfolio. Consequently, the results
of operations are heavily influenced by the levels of short-term interest rates.
PS Financial offers a range of maturities on its deposit products at competitive
rates and monitors the maturities on an ongoing basis.

An approach used by  management to quantify  interest rate risk is net portfolio
value ("NPV")  analysis.  In essence,  this approach  calculates  the difference
between the present  value of  liabilities,  expected cash flows from assets and
cash flows from off balance sheet contracts.  The following table sets forth, at
March 31, 2000, an analysis of the Bank's  interest rate risk as measured by the
estimated  changes in NPV resulting from  instantaneous  and sustained  parallel
shifts in the yield  curve  (+/-300  basis  points,  measured in 100 basis point
increments).

Certain  assumptions  utilized in assessing  interest rate risk were employed in
preparing the preceding table.  These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan
prepayment  rates,  deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets
under the various interest rate scenarios.  It was also assumed that delinquency
rates will not change as a result of changes in interest  rates  although  there
can be no assurance that this will be the case. Even if interest rates change in
the  designated  amounts,  there can be no assurance  that the Bank's assets and
liabilities  would  perform as set forth above.  In  addition,  a change in U.S.
Treasury rates in the designated amounts accompanied by a change in the shape of
the Treasury yield curve would cause significantly  different changes to the NPV
than indicated above

Impact of New Accounting Standards

In June  1999,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities".  SFAS No. 133  standardizes the accounting
for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other  contracts.  Under  the  standard,  entities  are  required  to carry  all
derivative instruments in the statement of financial position at fair value. The
accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e.  gains or losses) of a derivative
instrument  depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a
hedging  relationship  and,  if so, on the  reason  for  holding  it. If certain
conditions are met, entities may elect to designate a derivative instrument as a
hedge of exposure to change in fair value, cash flows, or foreign currencies. If
the hedged exposure is a fair value exposure, the gain or loss on the derivative
instrument is  recognized in earnings in the period of change  together with the
offsetting  loss or gain on the  hedged  item  attributable  to the  risk  being
hedged. If the hedged exposure is a cash flow exposure, the effective portion of
the  gain  or loss on the  derivative  instrument  is  reported  initially  as a
component of other  comprehensive  income  (outside  earnings) and  subsequently
reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Any
amount  excluded  from  the  assessment  of hedge  effectiveness  as well as the
ineffective  portion of the gain or loss is reported  in  earnings  immediately.
Accounting for foreign  currency  hedges is similar to accounting for fair value
and cash flow hedges. If the derivative instrument is not designated as a hedge,
the gain or loss is  recognized  in  earnings  in the  period  of  change.  This
Statement will have no effect on the Company.
