SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND OPERATING DATA
The Company became the unitary thrift holding company for the Bank as a
result of the consummation of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and
related Plan of Merger on October 21, 1996 (the "Merger). The Company did
not have any material assets prior to the Merger. Following the Merger, the
Company's consolidated balance statement and income statement are not
materially different from the Bank's statement of financial condition and
statement of operations. The Company is the successor registrant to the Bank
under the Securities Act of 1933. The following table sets forth selected
consolidated historical financial and operating data for the Bank as of and
for each of the five fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and has been
derived from and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements of the Bank and the unaudited consolidated interim
financial and operating data as of September 30, 1996 and for each of the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996. The following summary
financial information is qualified in its entirety by and should be read in
conjunction with the detailed information and financial statements of the
Bank, including the notes thereto, which interim information is included in
this Prospectus, and which annual information as of December 31, 1995 and
1994 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995
accompany this Prospectus and are incorporated herein by reference. In the
opinion of management of the Bank, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, considered necessary for fair presentation have been
included in the unaudited interim data. During September 1996 the FDIC
imposed a special assessment on assessible deposits in institutions insured
by the Savings Association Insurance Fund. This charge was accrued as of
September 1996 in the amount of $762,000 resulting in the year-to-date loss.
The financial information for the interim periods presented is not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations which may be expected as of and for
any other interim period or year as a whole.

RISK FACTORS
With respect to the shares of Common Stock to be issued as described in this
Prospectus, investors should carefully consider the following risk factors:
1. DIVIDEND HISTORY AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS. The Company
cannot predict if or when it will pay dividends on the Common Stock in the
future. In addition, if the Company were to issue any capital stock having a
preference as to dividends over the Common Stock, which the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation allows, the Common Stock may be subordinated as
to the payment of dividends to such other capital stock. The Bank last paid a
stock dividend in 1989 and a cash dividend in 1988. The Company's Board of
Directors does not currently intend to declare any cash dividends at any time
in the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to pay dividends to its
stockholders depends primarily upon the Bank's ability to pay dividends on
the Bank's common stock to the Company. Dividends paid by the Bank and the
Company are subject to restrictions imposed by certain federal laws. In
addition, the Bank has entered into a Supervisory Agreement with the OTS
effective as of June 17, 1996, which agreement requires, among other things,
that the Bank increase its capital. As a result, the Bank is unlikely to pay
a dividend for the foreseeable future.
2. MARKETABILITY OF COMMON STOCK. The Common Stock has been
listed on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market in the same manner as the Bank's common
stock was listed prior to October 21, 1996. The Common Stock has been
registered under the provisions of the Exchange Act. It is expected that
Common Stock will be at least as liquid as the Bank's common stock. However,
there can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market for the
Common Stock will develop, or if developed, will be maintained.
3. REGULATION AND SUPERVISION. Unitary thrift holding companies
and savings banks operate in a highly regulated environment and are subject
to extensive supervision and examination by several federal and state
regulatory agencies. The Company is subject to the federal Home Owners Loan
Act, as amended ("HOLA"), and to regulation and supervision by the OTS. As a
federal savings bank, the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by
the OTS and, as a result of the insurance of its deposits, by the FDIC. In
this regard, the OTS issued a Prompt Corrective Action Directive to the Bank
in 1993, which was amended in 1994, and the Bank and OTS entered into a
Supervisory Agreement effective as of June 17, 1996. Although the various
laws and regulations which apply to the Company and the Bank are intended to
ensure safe and sound banking practices, they are primarily intended to
benefit depositors and the federal deposit insurance fund, and not the
stockholders of the Company. The Company and the Bank are subject to changes
in federal and state law, as well as changes in regulations and governmental
policies, income tax laws and accounting principles. The effects of any
potential changes cannot be predicted but could adversely affect the business
and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries in the future. See
"Recent Developments" for a discussion of the recent legislation affecting
the thrift industry and impacts on the Company and the Bank.
4. NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. The Certificate of Incorporation does
not provide holders of Common Stock with a preemptive right to subscribe for
additional shares of the securities of the Company upon additional issuance
thereof. Thus, upon the issuance by the Company of any additional shares of
Common Stock or any securities of the Company with conversion or voting
rights, the holders of Common Stock may be unable to maintain their pro rata
ownership interest or voting power in the Company.
16
<PAGE>
5. COMPETITION. The banking business is highly competitive and
the profitability of the Company will depend principally upon the Bank's
ability to compete in its market area. The Bank competes with other
commercial and savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions,
finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and
investment banking firms, asset-based non-bank lenders and certain other
non-financial institutions, including retail stores which may maintain their
own credit programs and certain governmental organizations which may offer
more favorable financing than the Bank. Some of these competitors may have
greater financial and other resources than the Company. No assurances may be
given concerning the Bank's competitive position in the future. Various
legislative acts in recent years have led to increased competition among
financial institutions. There can be no assurance that the United States
Congress will not enact legislation that may further increase competitive
pressures on the Bank. The Bank competes with other financial institutions
on the basis of service, convenience and price. Due in part to both
regulatory changes and consumer demands, banks have experienced increased
competition from other financial and non-financial entities offering similar
products which is expected to continue.
6. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. General economic conditions have a
significant impact on the banking industry. The credit quality of the Bank's
loan portfolio necessarily reflects, among other things, the general economic
conditions in the areas in which it conducts its business. The financial
success of the Company and the Bank depends somewhat on factors that are
beyond the Company's control, including national and local economic
conditions, the supply and demand for investable funds, interest rates,
regulatory policies and federal, state and local laws affecting these
matters. Any substantial deterioration in any of the foregoing conditions
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and
results of operations, which in all likelihood, would adversely affect the
market price of the Common Stock.
7. MONETARY POLICY. The operating income and net income of the
Bank will depend to a substantial extent on "rate differentials", i.e., the
differences between the income the Bank receives from loans, securities and
other earning assets, and the interest expense it pays to obtain deposits and
other liabilities. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors which
are beyond the control of the Company, including general economic conditions
and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. For
example, in an expanding economy, loan demand usually increases and the
interest rates charged on loans increase. Increases in the discount rate by
the Federal Reserve Board usually lead to rising interest rates, which affect
the interest income, interest expense and investment portfolio. Also,
governmental policies such as the creation of a tax deduction for individual
retirement accounts can increase savings and affect the cost of funds.
8. ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS. The Company was incorporated under
Delaware law. The Certificate of Incorporation, as well as certain Delaware
and federal laws and regulations, could assist the Company in maintaining its
status as an independent corporation. The Certificate of Incorporation
provides for cumulative voting for directors and authorizes the Board of
Directors of the Company to issue shares of preferred stock of the Company
("Company Preferred Stock") without stockholder approval and upon such terms
as the Board of Directors may determine. The rights of the holders of Common
Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the
holders of any Company Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future. The
issuance of Company Preferred Stock, while providing desirable flexibility in
connection with possible acquisitions, financings and other corporate
purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party
to acquire, or of discouraging a third
17
<PAGE>
party from acquiring, a controlling interest in the Company. The Company has
no present plans to issue any shares of Company Preferred Stock. These
provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation may discourage potential proxy
contests and other takeover attempts, particularly those which have not been
negotiated with the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, federal
law also requires the approval of the OTS prior to the acquisition of
"control" of a thrift holding company.
9. SHARES OF COMPANY STOCK ARE NOT DEPOSITS. The shares of
Company Stock are not deposits and, accordingly, are not insured against loss
by the FDIC.
10. CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND LIQUIDITY. Under the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") and the
regulations of the OTS, the Bank must have: (1) core capital equal to 3% of
adjusted total assets; (2) tangible capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total
assets; and (3) total capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets, which
includes off-balance sheet items. On November 28, 1994, the OTS announced
its decision to immediately reverse its August 1993 interim policy requiring
institutions to include unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, on
available-for-sale debt securities in regulatory capital. Because this
revised policy applies only to regulatory capital, however, institutions must
continue to comply with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 115, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES, for
financial reporting purposes.
A Prompt Corrective Action Directive ("PCAD") effective May 18, 1995 is in
full force and effect which required the Bank to achieve the following
capital ratios by June 30, 1995: 8% total risk-based capital, 4.0% Tier 1
("core") risk-based capital ratio, and 4.0% leverage ratio. The Bank has
exceeded these ratios for all quarters since December 31, 1994. The
following table represents the Bank ratios through September 30, 1996:
% % % %
Ratio Required 12-31-94 12-31-95 9-30-96
----- -------- -------- -------- -------
Core (RAP*) Capital 4.0 4.29 4.98 4.87
Leverage Ratio 4.0 4.29 4.98 4.87
Risk-based Capital 8.0 17.79 16.66 13.89
*"RAP" IS DEFINED AS "REGULATORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES"
Effective as of June 17, 1996 the Board and the OTS signed a Supervisory
Agreement which states that it is of mutual benefit for the Bank to do the
following:
1. Complete and submit a revised business and capital plan which
will:
a. Increase core capital to 6% as of December 31, 1996.
b. Increase core capital to 7% as of June 30, 1997.
2. Create an asset/liability and investment committee of the
Board to oversee and review pricing activities, investment
selection and interest rate risk.
3. Report quarterly on the Bank's operating results and explain
variances of actual results to budgeted projections.
18
<PAGE>
This agreement may be suspended in part or in whole by the OTS Regional
Director. The Subscription Offering constitutes a portion of the business and
capital plan designed to meet the capital requirements under the Supervisory
Agreement.
In November 1996, the OTS suspended the 6% core capital requirement
outlined in the Supervisory Agreement. However, the June 30, 1997 core
capital requirement of 7% is still applicable. Management's intent is to use
the proceeds from the Subscription Offering, if any, to achieve the June 30,
1997 requirement. Although not currently contemplated by the business and
capital plan, it may be necessary for the Company to raise capital in
addition to that which may be received through the Subscription Offering in
order to meet the June 30, 1997 capital requirements.
11. DILUTION. Shareholders who do not exercise their Subscription
Rights in full will suffer dilution in their voting rights and in their
percentage interest in any future net earnings of the Company. All
Shareholders will suffer a reduction in book value as a result of the sale of
shares to subscribing Rights Holders at less than book value in the
Subscription Offering.
The following tables show the detail of such dilution (assuming,
respectively, all Subscription Rights are exercised and half of the
Subscription Rights are exercised):

12. MINIMUM SIZE OF OFFERING. A minimum amount of proceeds of $1,500,000
is required for the Company to consummate the Subscription Offering. No
assurance can be given regarding the amount of proceeds that the Company will
receive from the Subscription Offering. See "The Subscription Offering."
Other than with respect to Certain Holders and Directors (see "The
Subscription Offering-Commitment of Certain Holders" and "The Subscription
Offering-Commitment of Certain Directors"), the Company does not know if
Rights Holders will exercise their Subscription Rights. The Company does not
have a firm commitment from any person to purchase any shares of Common Stock
that remain unsold after the termination of the Subscription Offering.
13. MARKET CONSIDERATIONS. It is possible that although a Rights Holder
may subscribe for shares at a time when the Subscription Price is less than
the prevailing market price, the market price of the Common Stock may decline
during the subscription period after such Rights Holder exercises its
Subscription Rights. The election of a Rights Holder to exercise Subscription
Rights in the Subscription Offering is irrevocable. In addition, there can be
no assurance that, following the Subscription Offering, a subscribing Rights
Holder will be able to sell shares purchased in the Subscription Offering at
a price equal to or greater than the Subscription Price. Moreover, until
stock certificates are delivered, subscribing Rights Holders may not be able
to sell the shares of Common Stock which they have purchased in the
Subscription Offering.
No interest will be paid to Rights Holders on funds delivered to the
Subscription Agent pursuant to the exercise of Subscription Rights.
14. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS AFFECTING THE FIRST SAVINGS BANK, F.S.B.
PROFIT SHARING AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (THE "ESOP"). Generally,
the shares of Common Stock held by the ESOP will be treated in the same
manner as other shares of Common Stock under the Subscription Offering. Each
participant who has shares of Common Stock allocated to his or her account in
the ESOP will be provided the opportunity, pursuant to procedures established
by the ESOP Trustee, to exercise the Basic Subscription Rights attributable
to the shares of Common Stock held in the participant's account.
The Company expects to submit a prohibited transaction exemption request
to the Department of Labor (the "DOL") with respect to the holding and
exercise of Subscription Rights by the ESOP and by the ESOP participants.
That prohibited transaction exemption request, if approved by the DOL, will
be retroactively effective to the Expiration Date and will permit the holding
and exercise of Subscription Rights by the ESOP and by the ESOP participants
without involving a prohibited transaction. In the event the prohibited
transaction exemption request is not approved by the DOL, any Subscription
Rights exercised by the ESOP and the ESOP participants will be invalidated,
and any Common Stock issued to the ESOP pursuant to the exercise of such
Subscription Rights will be voided, and the aggregate Subscription Price paid
by the ESOP to exercise such Subscription Rights will be returned to the
Plan, without interest.
15. RIGHT TO TERMINATE AND AMEND THE SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING. The Company
expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time prior to
delivery of the shares of Common Stock offered in the Subscription Offering,
to terminate the Subscription Offering by giving oral or written notice
thereof to the Subscription Agent and making a public announcement
21
<PAGE>
thereof. If the Subscription Offering is so terminated, all funds received
from Rights Holders will be promptly refunded, without interest. The Company
also reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions of the Subscription
Offering. See "The Subscription Offering -Amendments and Waivers; Early
Termination."
16. LITIGATION. In the normal course of business, the Bank, the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, is involved in litigation which, in the Company's
opinion, will not have a material effect on the Company. The following is a
discussion of additional litigation involving the Bank.
On February 1, 1996, an Order of Dismissal was entered by the court with
respect to a certain derivative lawsuit ("Derivative Lawsuit") which had been
filed on May 19, 1994 and amended on November 2, 1994. The Derivative Lawsuit
was filed by two stockholders, one of whom was a former director of the Bank,
alleging a number of intentional and negligent acts and omissions in the
management of the Bank which allegedly resulted in damages and losses
suffered by the Bank. The court dismissed, with prejudice, all claims against
all defendants, except a former president, who was also chief executive
officer and a director (the "Former President") of the Bank. A dismissal with
prejudice means that the charges cannot be refiled. The court also ordered
the plaintiffs to pay reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, to the
Bank's former independent auditors. A notice of appeal was filed by the
plaintiff. The Company cannot currently predict the outcome of the appeal.
If final judgment in their favor is received in the Derivative Lawsuit,
certain of the current and former director defendants may make demand on the
Bank for indemnification of their legal expenses pursuant to OTS regulations.
The disinterested members of the Bank's Board of Directors must approve said
indemnification and give 60 days notice to the OTS of the Bank's intention to
make such indemnification. No such indemnification shall be made if the OTS
advises the Bank in writing, within the 60 day notice period, of its
objection thereto. No demand for indemnification has been made by any of the
current defendants.
With respect to the Former President, the court dismissed the claims in
the Derivative Lawsuit without prejudice in order to allow the Bank to pursue
such claims in Federal Court. In May 1995, the Bank filed a lawsuit against
the Former President in the United States District Court for the District of
New Mexico. In the lawsuit, the Bank asserts that the defendant engaged in
fraudulent conduct and breached his duties of loyalty and care to the Bank,
all of which resulted in losses and damages to the Bank. The Bank is seeking
recovery of damages from the defendant in excess of $2.8 million, plus
interest and punitive damages. The Bank's lawsuit against the Former
President is scheduled for trial in March 1997. Legal fees to date with
respect to the Bank's lawsuit against the Former President have been accrued
and paid. The Company does not anticipate that any future legal fees and
expenses with respect to this lawsuit will materially adversely affect its
financial condition or results of operations.
17. INTEREST RATE RISK. The Bank's earnings depend, to a great extent,
upon the level of net interest income, which is interest income and fees
earned on loans and investment income less interest expense paid on deposits
and other borrowings. As interest rates change and the Bank's assets and
liabilities mature, net interest income is affected accordingly. The
differences between the amounts of interest sensitive assets and interest
sensitive liabilities measured at various time periods are referred to as
sensitivity gaps. Although management believes the maturity of the Bank's
assets are adequately balanced in relation to maturities of liabilities, from
22
<PAGE>
time to time maturities are not balanced and a rapid decrease or increase in
interest rates could have an adverse effect on interest spreads and the
results of operations of the Bank. Interest rates are highly sensitive to
many factors which are beyond the control of the Bank, including general
economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory
authorities.
18. GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION. The Bank has two locations in Clovis, New
Mexico and another in Portales, New Mexico. Each of these three locations
offers full service banking. The Bank has also opened a loan production
office in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The Bank's primary service area includes
the New Mexico counties of Bernalillo, Cibola, Curry, De Baca, Los Alamos,
Roosevelt, Sandoval, Santa Fe, Torrance, Valencia, and the Texas counties of
Parmer and Bailey.
In general, the Bank has a "Normal Lending Territory", as defined by
federal regulations, that includes all areas within the State of New Mexico,
and a 100 mile radius from the Bank's main office in Clovis, New Mexico,
which extends into the State of Texas. The primary service area's economic
base is derived from Cannon Air Force Base, a regional switching headquarters
for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, a state university, and
farming and ranching.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Bank is a member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"),
which is administered by the FDIC. Deposits in the Bank are insured up to
applicable limits by the FDIC and such insurance is backed by the full faith
and credit of the U.S. Government. On September 30, 1996, the Economic
Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (the "Act") was passed.
The Act contains a comprehensive approach to recapitalize the SAIF and
assure payment of the Financing Corporation Funding ("FICO") obligations. A
key provision of Subtitle G of the Act imposed a special assessment on SAIF
assessable deposits held in the Bank as of March 31, 1995. The "Special SAIF
Assessment Statement" received by the Bank was for $761,686, which represents
a charge of .006570 on an Assessment Deposit Base of $115,933,923 as of
March 31, 1995. This charge was accrued by the Bank as an Insurance Fund
Expense in the third quarter ending September 30, 1996. The charge is payable
November 27, 1996.
Other key provisions of SAIF/FICO reform are summarized as follows:
1. The FICO obligation is to be shared by SAIF and Bank Insurance Fund
("BIF") insured institutions beginning January 1 1997.
2. The BIF and SAIF are to be merged into a new Deposit Insurance Fund
("DIF") effective January 1, 1999, if saving associations do not exist.
3. Creation of SAIF Special Reserve.
4. Refund of amounts in DIF in excess of Designated Reserve Amount.
5. Assessment Rates for SAIF members may not be less than Assessment
Rates for BIF members.
6. Assessments authorized only if needed to maintain the reserve ratio
of the Deposit Insurance Fund.
7. The Secretary of Treasury is to report to Congress by March 31, 1997
on issues relevant to a common depository institution charter.
8. The Special Assessments may be deducted as a trade or business
expense in the year paid.
In addition, the law significantly expands the authority of the Bank to
make consumer and commercial loans. The primary changes are as follows:
1. To permit credit card loans to count as qualified thrift investments
without Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") limits;
23
<PAGE>
2. To permit education loans to be made without QTL limits;
3. To increase the current 10% of asset limit to 20% on commercial
loans;
4. To expand other consumer loans (excluding credit card and education
loans) QTL limits from 10% to 20%;
5. To expand interstate branching if QTL test is met and if a state
thrift from the federal thrift's home state could branch into that other
state.
THE SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING
The Company is offering (the "Subscription Offering") up to 732,198 shares
of its Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"), to holders of record of
its Common Stock (the "Shareholders") at the close of business on December
20, 1996 (the "Record Date"), pursuant to subscription rights (the
"Subscription Rights"). The subscription price is $5.25 per share (the
"Subscription Price"). Holders of Subscription Rights (collectively, the
"Rights Holders") will be able to exercise their Subscription Rights until
5:00 p.m., New York time, on January 31, 1997 (such date, as it may be
extended by the Company to a date not later than February 14, 1997, being the
"Expiration Date"). See "The Subscription Offering - Amendments and Waivers;
Early Termination." Subscription Rights not exercised by 5:00 p.m., New York
time, on the Expiration Date will be void. After the Expiration Date,
Subscription Rights will no longer be exercisable to purchase shares of
Common Stock and will have no value. The term "Shareholder" includes
financial institutions that are participants in a securities depository, such
as The Depository Trust Company, and that held shares of Common Stock on the
Record Date in such securities depository. The Subscription Rights are
non-transferable. The Company intends to offer, by means of this Prospectus,
shares remaining, after the Subscription Offering, to other investors at the
Subscription Price. Such investors may also include existing shareholders.
PURPOSE OF OFFERING
The primary purpose of the Subscription Offering is to enable the Company
to infuse additional capital into the Bank so that the Bank will be in
compliance with all regulatory capital requirements. See "Use Of Proceeds"
for a discussion of the Company's intended use of the proceeds from the
Subscription Offering.
SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS
For each one whole share of Common Stock held of record as of the close of
business on the Record Date, a Shareholder will receive one Subscription
Right. Each Rights Holder will have the right to purchase one share of Common
Stock for each Subscription Right. Rights Holders are entitled to subscribe
for all, or any portion of, the shares of Common Stock underlying their
Subscription Rights. Subscription Rights are evidenced by subscription
warrants ("Subscription Warrants") which are being distributed to the
Company's Shareholders contemporaneously with the delivery of this Prospectus.
24
<PAGE>
COMMITMENT OF CERTAIN RIGHTS HOLDERS
Certain Rights Holders are expected to commit irrevocably to purchase, in
the aggregate, 100,000 shares in the Rights Offering, which represents 92% of
the shares that may be acquired by them upon the exercise of their
Subscription Rights. The aggregate purchase price represented by these
commitments is approximately $525,000. Such purchasers may be subject to
certain regulatory limitations. See "The Subscription Offering - Regulatory
Limitation" and "Regulation and Supervision - Regulation of the Company."
COMMITMENT OF DIRECTORS
Directors of the Bank are expected to commit irrevocably, to purchase, in
the aggregate, 70,000 shares in the Rights Offering, which represents 75% of
the shares that may be acquired by them upon the exercise of their
Subscription Rights. The aggregate purchase price represented by these
commitments is $367,500.
ADDITIONAL INVESTORS
The Company intends to offer, by means of this Prospectus, shares
remaining, after the Subscription Offering, to other investors at the
Subscription Price. Such investors may also include existing shareholders.
METHOD OF EXERCISING SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS
Subscription Rights may be exercised by properly completing, signing, and
delivering the Subscription Warrant accompanying this Prospectus, together
with payment in full of the aggregate Subscription Price for shares of Common
Stock subscribed for pursuant to Subscription Rights. Subscription Warrants
and payments must be received by the Subscription Agent before 5:00 p.m., New
York time, on the Expiration Date, at the address provided below
25
<PAGE>
under "Subscription Agent." Payment of the aggregate Subscription Price must
be made in United States dollars and must be made by bank certified check or
cashier's check, payable to the order of the Subscription Agent. ONCE A
HOLDER HAS EXERCISED A SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT, THE EXERCISE IS IRREVOCABLE
UNLESS, IN THE JUDGMENT OF THE COMPANY, THERE IS A MATERIAL AMENDMENT TO THE
SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING AND THE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT IS EXERCISED BEFORE SUCH
AMENDMENT. See "Amendments and Waivers; Early Termination" below. See
"Foreign Restrictions and Undeliverable Subscription Warrants" below for a
discussion of restrictions on the method of exercising Subscription Rights
held by Shareholders whose record addresses are outside of the continental
United States or Canada, or are A.P.O. or F.P.O. addresses.
The method of delivery of Subscription Warrants and payments of any
Subscription Price to the Subscription Agent is at the risk of the Rights
Holder. The Company suggests that Express Mail or similar overnight carrier
be used to ensure timely delivery. If delivery is made by regular mail
service, the use of registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
properly insured, is recommended. COMPLETED SUBSCRIPTION WARRANTS AND
PAYMENTS SHOULD BE MAILED OR DELIVERED TO THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT AND NOT TO
THE COMPANY. QUESTIONS GENERALLY REGARDING THE SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING SHOULD
BE DIRECTED TO THE COMPANY.
LATE DELIVERY OF SUBSCRIPTION WARRANTS
If, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, the
Subscription Agent has received a letter or telegram from a bank or trust
company or a member of a national securities exchange in the United States
stating the name of the subscriber, the number of Subscription Rights
represented by the Subscription Warrant, and the number of shares of Common
Stock subscribed for, and guaranteeing that the Subscription Warrant and
payment thereunder will be delivered to the Subscription Agent within three
business days, such subscription will be accepted by the Subscription Agent,
subject to the withholding of the stock certificates representing the shares
of Common Stock subscribed for pending receipt of the duly executed
Subscription Warrant and payment within such three day period.
DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES; REFUNDS
Certificates representing shares of Common Stock subscribed for and issued
will be mailed promptly after the Expiration Date (i.e., within three
business days following the Expiration Date or, where permitted, within three
business days following the late delivery of Subscription Warrants).
Certificates for shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of
Subscription Rights will be registered in the name of the Rights Holder
exercising such Subscription Rights. The Subscription Agent will place all
proceeds of the Subscription Offering into an escrow account until such funds
are transferred to the Company or refunded to Rights Holders at the
completion or termination of the Subscription Offering. No interest will be
paid to Rights Holders on funds delivered to the Subscription Agent pursuant
to the exercise of the Subscription Rights. The shares of Common Stock
subscribed for pursuant to the Subscription Offering will be issued and sold
as of the Expiration Date.
26
<PAGE>
TERMINATION DATE
Unless earlier terminated by the Company, the Subscription Offering will
automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the first day
following the Expiration Date. See "Amendments and Waivers; Early
Termination" below.
FOREIGN RESTRICTIONS AND UNDELIVERABLE SUBSCRIPTION WARRANTS
Because of the short exercise period for the Subscription Rights,
Subscription Warrants will not be mailed to Shareholders whose record
addresses are outside the continental United States or Canada, or are A.P.O.
or F.P.O. addresses. Subscription Warrants will be held by the Subscription
Agent for such Shareholders' respective accounts until instructions are
received to exercise the Subscription Rights. If no instructions have been
received by 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, the
Subscription Rights of those Shareholders, together with the Subscription
Rights of those Shareholders whose addresses are not known by the Company or
the Subscription Agent or to whom delivery of a Subscription Warrant could
not be made, will expire.
PARTIAL EXERCISE OF RIGHTS
Rights Holders who elect to exercise their Subscription Rights in part may
do so by delivering to the Subscription Agent at the address set forth under
"Subscription Agent" below, a Subscription Warrant that has been properly
endorsed for partial subscription.
AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS; EARLY TERMINATION
The Company reserves the right to automatically extend the Expiration Date
to a date not later than February 14, 1997, and to otherwise amend the terms
and conditions of the Subscription Offering, whether the amended terms are
less or more favorable to the Rights Holders. If any such amendment to the
terms and conditions of the Subscription Offering constitutes, in the
judgment of the Company, a material adverse change to Rights Holders, the
Company will deliver to Shareholders a new prospectus incorporating such
amendment and the Company will set a new expiration date which will be a
minimum of ten business days from the date of the amended prospectus and not
later than February 14, 1997. Properly completed subscriptions received or
in transit prior to such amendment, unless revoked before the new expiration
date, will be honored.
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of
receipt and record ownership), and acceptance of any exercise of Subscription
Rights shall be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, and its
determination shall be final and binding. The Company reserves the right to
reject any exercise if such exercise is not in accordance with the terms of
the Subscription Offering or not in proper form or if the acceptance thereof
or the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto could be deemed
unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive any deficiency or
irregularity with respect to the exercise of any Subscription Warrant.
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time prior
to delivery of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby, to terminate the
Subscription Offering by giving oral or written notice thereof to the
Subscription Agent and making a public announcement thereof. If the
27
<PAGE>
Subscription Offering is so terminated, all funds received from Rights
Holders will be promptly refunded, without interest.
DETERMINATION OF SUBSCRIPTION PRICE AND FAIRNESS OPINION
The Subscription Price has been determined by the Company in consultation
with its financial advisor, Alex Sheshunoff & Co. Investment Banking
("Financial Advisor"). In determining the Subscription Price, the Company
considered, among other things, such factors as the prevailing market price
and book value of the Company's Common Stock, the business prospects of the
Company and the Bank, and the general condition of the securities markets.
The Company has received from the Financial Advisor an opinion to the
effect that based on, among other things, the trading history of the Common
Stock and the Bank's common stock and the publicly available financial
information regarding the Company and the Bank, the consideration to be
received pursuant to the Subscription Offering is fair from a financial
point of view to the shareholders of the Company. The full text of the
Financial Advisor's opinion is set forth as an Appendix to this Prospectus
and should be read in its entirety with respect to the assumptions made and
other matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken. The
Company has agreed to pay the Financial Advisor $17,500 as financial advisory
fees for its services. In addition, the Financial Advisor will be
indemnified against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
securities laws.
MARKET CONDITIONS
It is possible that a Rights Holder may subscribe for shares of Common
Stock at a time when the Subscription Price is less than the prevailing
market price. The market price of the Common Stock, however, may decline
during the subscription period after such Rights Holder exercises its
Subscription Rights. The election of a Rights Holder to exercise Subscription
Rights in the Subscription Offering is irrevocable unless, in the judgment of
the Company, there is a material amendment to the Subscription Offering and
the Subscription Rights were exercised before such amendment. See "Amendments
and Waivers; Early Termination" above. In addition, there can be no assurance
that following the Subscription Offering a subscribing Rights Holder will be
able to sell shares purchased in the Subscription Offering at a price equal
to or greater than the Subscription Price. Moreover, until certificates are
delivered, subscribing Rights Holders may not be able to sell the shares of
Common Stock which they have purchased in the Subscription Offering.
Certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued in the Subscription
Offering will be mailed to subscribing Rights Holders at the addresses
appearing on their Subscription Warrant promptly following the Expiration
Date (i.e., within three business days following the Expiration Date or,
where permitted, within three business days following the late delivery of
Subscription Warrants). See "Late Delivery of Subscription Warrants" above.
REGULATORY LIMITATION
The Company will not be required to issue Subscription Rights or shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Offering to any Rights Holder to
whom such issuance is prohibited by law or regulation or to anyone who would
be required to obtain prior clearance or
28
<PAGE>
approval from any state or federal bank regulatory authority to own or
control such shares if, on the Expiration Date, such clearance or approval
has not been obtained. See "Regulation And Supervision -Regulation of the
Company".
NO BOARD OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR RECOMMENDATION
An investment in the Common Stock must be made pursuant to each investor's
evaluation of its, his, or her best interests. ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY NOR ITS FINANCIAL ADVISOR MAKES ANY
RECOMMENDATION TO THE RIGHTS HOLDERS REGARDING WHETHER THEY SHOULD EXERCISE
THEIR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS.
NO FIRM COMMITMENT TO PURCHASE UNSUBSCRIBED SHARES
The Company does not have a firm commitment from any person to purchase
any shares of Common Stock which remain unsubscribed after the Expiration
Date.
SUBSCRIPTION AGENT
The Bank will act as the Company's agent to accept exercises of
Subscription Rights. All communications to the Subscription Agent, including
the delivery of Subscription Warrants and payment of the aggregate
Subscription Price, should be addressed as follows:
First Savings Bank, F.S.B.
801 Pile Street
Clovis, New Mexico 88101
THE COMPANY
The Company was incorporated as a business corporation under the laws of
the State of Delaware on August 27, 1996, for the purpose of serving as a
unitary thrift holding company for the Bank under HOLA. The Company owns
100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank. The Company's principal
executive offices, are located at 801 Pile Street, Clovis, New Mexico 88101.
The Company's telephone number is (505) 762-4417.
Although the Company has no present plans to engage in any activity other
than the ownership and operation of the Bank, one of the benefits of
organizing the Company as a unitary thrift holding company was to make
possible, if favorable business opportunities arise in the future, the growth
and increased potential of the stockholders' investment through transactions
such as the acquisition of other financial institutions or the expansion of
services offered to customers of the Bank into one or more of the areas of
activities permitted for a unitary thrift holding company. In addition, the
Company will have more flexibility in meeting any future financing needs
through borrowings or debt or equity financings. Some or all of the
foregoing will be subject to compliance with certain regulatory and other
restrictions. Since for the near term the principal business of the Company
will be the current ongoing business of the Bank, the competitive conditions
to be encountered by the Company will be the same or similar to those faced
by the Bank.
29
<PAGE>
Because the Company is a newly-formed corporation with no operating
history, historical information with respect to legal proceedings, financial
data or accountants, management's discussion of operations, dividends and
other matters is not available. The Company Stock has been listed on the
NASDAQ Small Cap Market in a manner similar to that of the Bank common stock
prior to October 21, 1996, the date of the merger which resulted in the
Company becoming a unitary thrift holding company. The Company does not have
any record of paying dividends. See "Dividends."
At the present time, the Company does not intend to employ any persons
other than its management. The Company may utilize the administrative staff
of the Bank from time to time without compensation therefor. If the Company
acquires other financial institutions or pursues other lines of business, it
may at such time hire additional employees or management officials.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock in the Subscription
Offering will be used, first, to infuse capital into the Bank to meet OTS
requirements, and, second, to the extent available, for general corporate
purposes, which may include financing of possible future acquisitions of
other banking institutions or related businesses and technology enhancements.
The Supervisory Agreement with the OTS provides for the Bank to increase its
core capital position to 6% by December 31, 1996 and to a level of 7% no
later than June 30, 1997. In November 1996, the OTS suspended the 6% core
capital requirement. However, the June 30, 1997 core capital requirement of
7% is still applicable. At the present time, the Company does not have any
specific plans, agreements, or understandings, written or oral, pertaining to
the proposed acquisition of any banking institution or related business.
With the completion of the Subscription Offering, assuming the minimum
required subscriptions, and the capital contribution by the Company to the
Bank, the Bank will have achieved the capital level originally required by
the OTS as of December 31, 1996. Additional capital may be required to meet
the June 30, 1997 required capital level. The PCAD will remain in effect
until terminated, modified or suspended by the OTS. Upon completion of the
Subscription Offering, the Bank intends to apply to the OTS to be released
from the PCAD and the Supervisory Agreement, assuming the required capital is
raised. However, there can be no assurance that the minimum required capital
will be raised or that the OTS will release the Bank from the PCAD or the
Supervisory Agreement.

Subscription Rights are exercised and half of the Subscription Rights are
exercised). The tables should be read in conjunction with the detailed
information and consolidated financial statements of the Bank included in the
prospectus. The capitalization, as adjusted, is presented for informational

No dividends have been paid to the Company by the Bank since the
formation of the Company. The Bank last paid a stock dividend in 1989 and a
cash dividend in 1988. No assurances can be given with respect to the amount
and timing of future dividends. For a discussion of restrictions on the
Company's ability to pay dividends due to certain regulatory restrictions,
see "Risk Factors - Dividend Limitations." Due to the Bank's financial
condition and regulatory restrictions, management does not anticipate the
payment of dividends to holders of Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion sets forth the material United States federal
income tax considerations associated with the receipt, ownership, and
exercise of Subscription Rights.
For United States federal income tax purposes, receipt of the
Subscription Rights pursuant to the Subscription Offering should be treated
as a nontaxable dividend distribution. A Shareholder will have a zero basis
in the Subscription Rights received in the Subscription Offering, unless: (i)
either the Shareholder elects under Section 307 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, to allocate a portion of his basis in his existing
shares of Common Stock to the Subscription Rights (based on their relative
fair market values on the date of distribution) or (ii) the fair market value
of the Subscription Rights at the time of the distribution equals or exceeds
15% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at that time, in which case
the allocation of basis (based upon relative fair market values) is required.
Upon exercise of a Subscription Right, a Shareholder will not recognize
gain or loss, The basis of each share of Common Stock acquired upon exercise
of a Subscription Right will equal the sum of the Subscription Price and the
basis, if any, in the Subscription Rights exercised. The holding period for
such Common Stock will begin on the date the Subscription Rights are
exercised.
No loss will be recognized by a Shareholder who receives Subscription
Rights in the Subscription Offering and allows those Subscription Rights to
lapse.
THE ACTUAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SHAREHOLDERS MAY VARY DEPENDING UPON
THEIR OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, SHAREHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO
CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS WITH RESPECT TO THE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DISTRIBUTION AND EXERCISE OF THE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS.

<PAGE>
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
GENERAL
The Bank is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision
by the OTS, as its chartering agency, and the FDIC, as its deposit insurer.
The Bank's deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the
Savings Association Insurance Fund administered by the FDIC, and it is a
member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. The Bank must file reports
with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition,
and it must obtain regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain
transactions, such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other depository
institutions. The OTS and the FDIC conduct periodic examinations to assess
the Bank's compliance with various regulatory requirements. Such regulation
and supervision establish a comprehensive framework of activities in which an
institution may engage and are intended primarily for the protection of the
insurance fund and depositors. The Company, as a unitary thrift holding
company, is required to file certain reports with, and otherwise comply with,
the rules and regulations of the OTS and of the Commission under the federal
securities laws.
The OTS and the FDIC have significant discretion in connection with
their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies,
including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the
establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any
change in such regulation and policies, whether by the OTS, the FDIC or
action of the United States Congress, could have a material adverse impact on
the Company, the Bank and the operations of both.
In 1992, the Bank was deemed to be undercapitalized by the OTS and
agreed to the issuance in July 1993 of a Prompt Corrective Action Directive,
which directive was amended in August 1994. The directive required the Bank
to submit a capital restoration plan to the OTS, prescribed restrictions on
dividends, management fees, asset growth, branching and other matters and
established increased capital levels for the Bank. The Bank is currently in
compliance with the provisions of the directive. As previously noted, the
Bank entered into a Supervisory Agreement with the OTS effective as of June
17, 1996. The Supervisory Agreement provides for the Bank to increase its
core capital position to 6% by December 31, 1996 and to a level of 7% no
later than June 30, 1997. To comply with certain other terms of the
Supervisory Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Bank appointed three (3)
outside directors to the Bank's Asset/Liability and Investment Committee,
revised its business and capital plan and reports quarterly on variances of
actual results to budgeted projections. See "Recent Developments" for a
discussion of the recent legislation which has adversely affected the Bank's
capital position and "Risk Factors" for a discussion of the current status of
the Supervisory Agreement.
REGULATION OF THE COMPANY
The following discussion is intended to be a brief description of
certain statutes and regulations applicable to a savings and loan holding
company. It does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all such
statutes and regulations and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
applicable laws and regulations.
34
<PAGE>
The Company, as a unitary thrift holding company, is a savings and loan
holding company within the meaning of HOLA. As such, the Company is required
to register with the OTS and is subject to OTS regulations, examinations,
supervision and reporting requirements. In addition, the OTS has enforcement
authority over the Company and its non-savings association subsidiaries, if
any. Among other things, this authority permits the OTS to restrict or
prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the financial
safety, soundness or stability of a subsidiary savings association.
Except under limited circumstances, savings and loan holding companies
are prohibited from acquiring, without prior approval of the OTS, control of
any other savings institution or savings and loan holding company or
substantially all the assets thereof or more than five percent of the voting
shares of a savings institution or holding company thereof which is not a
subsidiary. In evaluating an application by a holding company to acquire a
savings association, the OTS must consider the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the company and savings association
involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the insurance funds,
the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.
Acquisitions which result in a savings and loan holding company controlling
savings associations in more than one state are generally prohibited except
in supervisory transactions involving failing savings associations or based
on specific state authorization to permit such acquisitions.
Federal law also requires OTS approval prior to any change of control of
the Company or the Bank. Under OTS regulations, "control" is presumed to
exist if an individual or company acquires more than twenty-five percent of
any class of voting stock of a savings association or holding company.
Control is also presumed to exist, subject to being rebutted, if a person
acquires more than ten percent of any class of voting stock (or more than
twenty-five percent of any class of non-voting stock) and is subject to any
of several control factors, including, among other matters, the relative
ownership position of a person, the existence of control agreements and other
factors.
As a unitary thrift holding company, the Company generally will not be
restricted under existing laws to the types of business activities in which
it may engage, provided that the Bank continues to satisfy the QTL test.
Upon any non-supervisory acquisition by the Company of another thrift or
savings bank that meets the QTL test and is deemed to be a savings
association by the OTS and that will be held as a separate subsidiary, the
Company would become a multiple savings and loan holding company and would be
subject to limitations on the types of business activities in which it could
engage. HOLA generally limits the activities of a multiple savings and loan
holding company and its non-insured association subsidiaries primarily to
activities permissible for bank holding companies under the Bank Holding
Company Act, subject to the prior approval of the OTS, and to other
activities authorized by OTS regulation. See "Recent Developments" for a
discussion of recent legislation affecting the Company and the Bank.
A savings association or a savings and loan holding company is required
to give 30 days prior written notice to the OTS of any proposed appointment
of a director or senior executive officer if the institution has been
chartered less than two years, has undergone a change in control
35
<PAGE>
within the preceding two years, or is not in compliance with the minimum
capital requirements or otherwise is in a trouble condition. The OTS then
has the opportunity to disapprove any such appointment.
Transactions between the Bank and the Company and its other subsidiaries
are subject to various conditions and limitations. The Bank will be required
to give 30 days written notice to the OTS prior to any declaration of the
payment of any dividends or other capital distributions to the Company.
DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY CAPITAL STOCK
GENERAL
The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of capital
stock consisting of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 4,000,000 shares of
Company Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. There are currently
732,198 shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of the exchange of
shares of Company Common Stock for shares of Bank common stock in connection
with the formation of the Company as a unitary thrift holding company on
October 21, 1996.
In the future, the authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of
Common Stock and the authorized and unissued shares of Company Preferred
Stock will be available for issuance for general corporate purposes,
including, but not limited to, possible issuance as stock dividends or stock
splits, future mergers or acquisitions, or future private placements or
public offerings. The Company's Board of Directors may (i) cause the
issuance of one or more series of the authorized shares of Company Preferred
Stock, (ii) fix the number of shares constituting any such new series and
(iii) fix the dividend rate, terms, conditions, conversion and exchange
rights, redemption rights (including sinking fund provisions), liquidation
preferences and voting rights, if any, of any such new series. Such rights
and preferences may be superior to those of Common Stock. Except as
otherwise may be required to approve a merger or other transaction in which
the additional authorized shares of Common Stock or authorized shares of
Company Preferred Stock would be issued, no stockholder approval will be
required for the issuance of those shares.
COMMON STOCK
GENERAL. Each share of Common Stock has the same relative rights as,
and is identical in all respects to, each other share of Common Stock. Until
such time as voting Company Preferred Stock is issued, if ever, the holders
of shares of Common Stock will possess all rights, including exclusive voting
rights, pertaining to the capital stock of the Company.
DIVIDEND RIGHTS. The holders of Common Stock will be entitled to
dividends when, as and if declared by Company's Board of Directors out of
funds legally available therefor. The payment of dividends by the Company
will depend on the Company's net income, financial condition, regulatory
requirements and other factors, including the results of the Bank's
36
<PAGE>
operations. See "Dividends" for restrictions on the payment of dividends on
Common Stock. The Company has no present intention to pay dividends, but
may consider doing so in the future.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each share of Common Stock entities the holder thereof to
one vote on all matters upon which stockholders have the right to vote. In
addition, the Board of Directors of the Company is classified so that
approximately one-third of the directors will be elected each year.
Stockholders of the Company will be entitled to cumulate their votes for the
election of directors. Cumulative voting may allow a minority of the
stockholders to elect directors that would not otherwise be possible.
LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of Common Stock will be
entitled to receive, after payment of all debts and liabilities of the
Company and subject to the prior rights, if any, of holders of shares of
Company Preferred Stock, all remaining assets of the Company available for
distribution in cash or in kind. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Bank, the Company, as the holder of all
shares of Bank common stock, would be entitled to receive payment of all
assets of the Bank available for distribution in cash or in kind remaining
after the payment of all debts and liabilities of the Bank (including all
deposits and accrued interest thereon).
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS; REDEMPTION. Holders of shares of Common Stock will
not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares that may be
issued. Company Stock is not subject to call or redemption.
COMPANY PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors of the Company has no present plan or intention
to issue any Company Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors may, without
action of the stockholders of Company, issue shares of Company Preferred
Stock from time to time in one or more series with chosen designations,
preferences, limitations and other rights.
The Board of Directors is authorized to determine, among other things,
with respect to each series which may be issued: (i) the dividend rate,
conditions of payment of dividends, dividend preferences, if any, and whether
dividends would be cumulative and, if so, the date from which dividends on
such series would accumulate; (ii) whether, and upon what terms, such series
would be redeemable and, if so, the redemption price and terms and conditions
of redemption; (iii) the preference, if any, to which such series would be
entitled in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of Company; (iv) whether or not a sinking fund would be provided
for the redemption of such series and, if so, the terms and conditions
thereof; (v) whether, and upon what terms, such series would be convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of any other class of capital stock or other
series of Company Preferred Stock; and (vi) whether, and to what extent, the
holders of such series would enjoy voting rights, if any, in addition to
those prescribed by law. With regard to dividends, redemption and liquidation
preference, any particular series of Company Preferred Stock may rank junior
to, on a parity with or senior to any other series of Company Preferred Stock.
37
<PAGE>
It is not possible to state the actual effect of the authorization of
Company Preferred Stock upon the rights of holders of Common Stock until the
Board of Directors determines the specific rights of the holders of a series
of Company Preferred Stock. However, such effects might include (a)
restrictions on dividends on Common Stock if dividends on Company Preferred
Stock have not been paid; (b) dilution of the voting power of Common Stock to
the extent that Company Preferred Stock has voting rights; (c) dilution of
the equity interest of Common Stock to the extent that Company Preferred
Stock is convertible into Common Stock; or (d) Common Stock not being
entitled to share in the Company's assets upon liquidation until satisfaction
of any liquidation preference granted the holders of Company Preferred Stock.
Issuance of Company Preferred Stock, while providing desirable flexibility
in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could
make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company. Accordingly, the issuance of
Company Preferred Stock may be used as an "anti-takeover" device without
further action on the part of the stockholders of Company.
DIVIDENDS
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends paid out of
legally available funds as and when declared by the Company's Board of
Directors based upon the earnings and financial condition of the Company,
liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory
climate, the Company's ability to service any equity or debt obligations
senior to the Company Stock and other factors deemed relevant by the
Company's Board of Directors. The Company is also subject to the
requirements of Delaware law regarding the payment of dividends.
For a foreseeable period of time, the principal source of cash revenues
to the Company will be dividends paid by the Bank with respect to the Bank
common stock. There are certain statutory and regulatory limitations on the
payment of such dividends (and other capital distributions) including OTS
regulatory capital requirements. In some cases, the OTS may prohibit a
dividend payment that meets these requirements on the basis that such a
distribution would be an unsafe or unsound practice. Furthermore, the Bank
may not pay a dividend if it will cause the institution to become
"undercapitalized."
The Bank is subject to an OTS Supervisory Agreement effective as of June
17, 1996 which requires, among other things, that the Bank increase its
capital. This agreement will inhibit the payment of dividends by the Bank
for the foreseeable future.
The Bank is required to give the OTS thirty days prior notice of the
proposed declaration by its directors of any dividend. Any such dividend
declared within the thirty day period or without giving such notice shall be
invalid and shall confer no rights or benefits on the Company as the sole
stockholder of the Bank.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, an insured bank is prohibited
from paying dividends on its capital stock while in default in the payment of
any assessment due to the FDIC except in those cases where the amount of the
assessment is in dispute and the insured bank has deposited satisfactory
security. The Bank is not in default in the payment of any such assessment.
38
<PAGE>
The Bank last paid a stock dividend in 1989 and a cash dividend in 1988.
The Company's Board of Directors does not currently intend to declare any
cash dividends at any time in the foreseeable future.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Common Stock offered hereby is being offered by the Company directly
to Shareholders on the Record Date. The Company has not employed any
brokers, dealers, or underwriters in connection with the Subscription
Offering, and no underwriting commissions, fees, or discounts will be paid in
connection with the Subscription Offering. Certain regular employees of the
Company and the Subscription Agent may solicit responses from Rights Holders
to the Subscription Offering, but such employees will not receive any
commission or compensation for such services other than their normal
employment compensation.
SHAREHOLDERS OR RIGHTS HOLDERS WHO DESIRE TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK IN THE SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING ARE URGED TO COMPLETE, DATE, AND SIGN THE
SUBSCRIPTION WARRANT ACCOMPANYING THIS PROSPECTUS AND RETURN IT TO THE
SUBSCRIPTION AGENT ON OR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE SUBSCRIPTION
OFFERING, TOGETHER WITH PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE AGGREGATE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE.
ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE PROCEDURE FOR SUBSCRIBING FOR THE PURCHASE OF
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT OR THE
COMPANY.
The Company intends to offer, by means of this Prospectus, shares
remaining, after the Subscription Offering, to other investors at the
Subscription Price. Such investors may also include existing shareholders.
If required to meet certain state securities law requirements, such other
investors may be required to represent that they are purchasing such shares
for investment.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Portions of this Prospectus include forward looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the
Exchange Act. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected
in such forward looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it
can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
Company's expectations are disclosed in conjunction with the forward looking
statements included herein ("Cautionary
39
<PAGE>
Disclosures"). Subsequent written and oral forward looking statements
attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Disclosures.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR
SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Delaware law provides for, under certain circumstances, indemnification
of the directors and officers of the Company against costs and expenses
incurred by them in the defense of a suit or proceeding in which they are
involved by reason of having been an officer or director of the Company.
Agreements providing for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by
law have been entered into with each director and officer. In addition, the
Company maintains insurance on a regular basis (and not specifically in
connection with this offering) against liabilities arising on the part of
directors and officers out of their performance in such capacities or arising
on the part of the Company out of said indemnification provisions, subject to
certain exclusions and to the policy limits.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been
informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in such Act and is therefore unenforceable.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of the Common Stock will be passed upon for
the Company by Keleher & McLeod, P.A., Albuquerque, New Mexico, special
counsel to the Company.
EXPERTS
The Bank's consolidated statements of financial condition as of December
31, 1995 and 1994 and the consolidated statements of operations,

SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
NOTE A - BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of First Savings Bank, F.S.B. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First
Equity Development Corporation. Collectively, First Savings Bank and First
Equity Development Corporation are referred to herein as the Bank. The
financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Certain
information required by generally accepted accounting principles has been
condensed or omitted pursuant to regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which Management considers
necessary for a fair presentation of results for those interim periods. The
results for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.
The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements of the Bank for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 consolidated financial
statements in order for them to conform with the 1996 presentation.

NOTE G - INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 1995, the Bank had remaining net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $5,555,000 for federal income tax purposes which expire in
varying amounts through 2009. In addition, at that date the alternative
minimum tax (AMT) net operating loss carryforward and AMT credit carryforward
were approximately $5,866,000 and $101,000, respectively, which will expire
in varying amounts through 2009. At December 31, 1995, the Bank had
remaining net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $44,583,000 for
state income tax purposes which expire in varying amounts through 2005.
These state net operating loss carryforwards are substantially more than the
federal net operating loss carryforwards as a result of the exclusion of U.S.
Investment security and other income for state income tax purposes.
The Bank has incurred significant losses during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 which resulted primarily from a one-time deposit insurance
assessment which is described in Note J. Accordingly, the aforementioned net
operating loss carryforwards existing at December 31, 1995 have increased
substantially since that date.
NOTE H- CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Bank, the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, is involved in litigation which, in the Company's opinion, will
not have a material effect on the Company. The following is a discussion of
additional litigation involving the Bank.
On February 1, 1996, an Order of Dismissal was entered by the court with
respect to a certain derivative lawsuit ("Derivative Lawsuit") which had
been filed on May 19, 1994 and amended on November 2, 1994. The Derivative
Lawsuit was filed by two stockholders, one of whom was a former director of
the Bank, alleging a number of intentional and negligent acts and omissions
in the management of the Bank which allegedly resulted in damages and losses
suffered by the Bank. The court dismissed, with prejudice, all claims against
all defendants, except a former president, who was also chief executive
officer and a director (the "Former President") of the Bank. A dismissal
with prejudice means that the charges cannot be refiled. The court also
ordered the plaintiffs to pay reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees,
to the Bank's former independent auditors. A notice of appeal was filed by
the plaintiff. The Company cannot currently predict the outcome of the appeal.
If final judgment in their favor is received in the Derivative Lawsuit,
certain of the current and former director defendants may make demand on the
Bank for indemnification of their legal expenses pursuant to OTS regulations.
The disinterested members of the Bank's Board of Directors must approve said
indemnification and give 60 days notice to the OTS of the Bank's intention to
make such indemnification. No such indemnification shall be made if the OTS
advises the Bank in writing, within the 60 day notice period, of its
objection thereto. No demand for indemnification has been made by any of the
current defendants.
With respect to the Former President, the court dismissed the claims in the
Derivative Lawsuit without prejudice in order to allow the Bank to pursue
such claims in Federal Court. In May 1995, the Bank filed a lawsuit against
the Former President in the United States District Court for the District of
New Mexico. In the lawsuit, the Bank asserts that the defendant engaged in
fraudulent conduct and breached his duties of loyalty and care to the Bank,
all of which resulted in losses and damages to the Bank. The Bank is seeking
recovery of damages from the defendant in excess of $2.8 million, plus
interest and punitive damages. The Bank's lawsuit against the Former
President is scheduled for trial in March 1997. Legal fees to date with
respect to the Bank's lawsuit against the Former President have been accrued
and paid. The Company does not anticipate that any future legal fees and
expenses with respect to this lawsuit will materially adversely affect its
financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE I - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of
1989 (FIRREA) and the implementation of Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS)
regulations on December 7, 1989, effective date of the new capital standards,
the Bank must have: (1) core capital equal to 3% of adjusted total assets;
(2) tangible capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets; and (3) total
capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets, which includes off-balance
sheet items.
On November 28, 1994, the OTS announced its decision to immediately reverse
its August 1993 interim policy requiring institutions to include unrealized
gains and losses, net of income taxes, on available-for-sale debt securities
in regulatory capital. Because this revised policy applies only to regulatory
capital, however, institutions must continue to comply with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115. ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN
INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES, for financial reporting purposes.
The following table is a reconciliation of the Bank's capital for regulatory
purposes at September 30, 1996, as reported to the OTS.

</TABLE>
At December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996, the Bank met the foregoing
minimum tangible, core and risk-based capital levels.
Effective as of June 17, 1996, the Board of Directors and the OTS signed a
Supervisory Agreement which states that it is of mutual benefit for the Bank
to do the following:
1. Complete and submit a revised business and capital plan which will:
a. Increase core capital to 6% as of December 31, 1996
b. Increase core capital to 7% as of June 30, 1997.
2. Create an asset/liability and investment committee of the Board to
oversee and review pricing activities, investment selection and interest
rate risk.
3. Report quarterly on the Bank's operating results and explain variances of
actual results to budgeted projections.
This agreement may be suspended in part or in whole by the OTS Regional
Director. In November 1996, the OTS suspended the 6% core capital requirement
contained in the Supervisory Agreement. However, the June 30, 1997 core
capital requirement of 7% is still applicable.
NOTE J - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During September 1996, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
imposed a special assessment on assessable deposits of insured depository
institutions that are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund. In
October 1996, the Bank was notified by the FDIC that the assessment to be
charged to the Bank was approximately $762,000 and is to be paid in November
1996. The amount of the assessment has been accrued as of September 30, 1996.
At a special meeting of the stockholders of the Bank on October 18, 1996, an
agreement and plan of reorganization by and between the Bank and Access
Anytime Bancorp, Inc. (AABC), a newly-formed unitary thrift holding company,
was approved whereby the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of AABC under
a stock for stock exchange.
In November 1996, the OTS suspended the 6% core capital requirement contained
in the Supervisory Agreement discussed in Note I. However, the June 30, 1997
core capital requirement of 7% is still applicable.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total liabilities for the Bank decreased by $7,424,854 or 6.67% from December
31, 1995 to September 30, 1996, and total assets decreased by $8,053,955 or
6.89% during the same period. The decrease in total liabilities was primarily
the result of a decrease in deposits of $8,241,948 or 7.45% due to the Bank's
overall strategy to change the product mix of deposit accounts offered to its
customers and decreasing reliance on public fund deposits.
The decrease in liabilities was partially offset by an accrual of $761,686 in
September 1996 relating to a special premium assessment by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation as a part of the Economic Growth and Regulatory
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 which, in part, contains a comprehensive
approach to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund. The decline
in deposits was funded primarily by a reduction in cash and cash equivalents
of $2.1 million, and proceeds from maturities and principal repayments of
investments available-for-sale and investments held-to-maturity, net, of
approximately $8.6 and $4.8 million, respectively, during the first nine
months of 1996. In addition to the funding of deposit reductions, the
maturities and increased principal prepayments on available-for-sale and
held-to-maturity securities during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
were used to fund an increase in loans receivable of approximately $7.6
million, which is also the result of the Bank's strategy to enhance future
earnings through a change in the overall asset/liability mix of the Bank's
interest earning assets as they relate to its interest bearing liabilities.
The primary changes in the Bank's loan portfolio at September 30, 1996 as
compared to that at December 31, 1995 were in conventional first mortgage
loans (($4,333,863 or 17.26% increase), consumer and installment loans
($3,187,352 or 69.10% increase), and construction loans ($1,359,796 or
128.29% increase).
CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND LIQUIDITY
CAPITAL ADEQUACY - Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) and the implementation of Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS) regulations on December 7, 1989, effective date of the new
capital standards, the Bank must have: (1) core capital equal to 3% of
adjusted total assets; (2) tangible capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total
assets; and (3) total capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets, which
includes off-balance sheet items.
On November 28, 1994, the OTS announced its decision to immediately reverse
its August 1993 interim policy requiring institutions to include unrealized
gains and losses, net of income taxes, on available-for-sale debt securities

<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY Liquidity enables the Bank to meet withdrawals of its deposits
and the needs of its loan customers. The Bank maintains its liquidity
position through maintenance of cash resources and a core deposit base. A
further source is the Bank's ability to borrow funds. The Bank is a member
of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) which provides a source of borrowings to
the Bank for asset and asset/liability matching. Over the past three years,
the FHLB has been used as a funding source. As of September 30, 1996, the
Bank had no outstanding borrowings at the FHLB and does not anticipate
significant borrowings from the FHLB in the foreseeable future.
The Bank's liquidity has been stable and adequate over the past three years.
Although short-term deposits have declined in the last nine months of 1996,
those reductions have been the result of management's planned restructuring
of the Bank's asset/liability mix. The Bank's primary source of funds is
core consumer deposits and commercial accounts. This is a significant factor
to the Bank's liquidity structure, because these funds are generally not
subject to significant movements resulting from changing interest rates and
other economic factors.
LITIGATION. In the normal course of business, the Bank, the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, is involved in litigation which, in the Company's
opinion, will not have a material effect on the Company. The following is a
discussion of additional litigation involving the Bank.
On February 1, 1996, an Order of Dismissal was entered by the court with
respect to a certain derivative lawsuit ("Derivative Lawsuit") which had been
filed on May 19, 1994 and amended on November 2, 1994. The Derivative Lawsuit
was filed by two stockholders, one of whom was a former director of the Bank,
alleging a number of intentional and negligent acts and omissions in the
management of the Bank which allegedly resulted in damages and losses
suffered by the Bank. The court dismissed, with prejudice, all claims against
all defendants, except a former president, who was also chief executive
officer and a director (the "Former President") of the Bank. A dismissal with
prejudice means that the charges cannot be refiled. The court also ordered
the plaintiffs to pay reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, to the
Bank's former independent auditors. A notice of appeal was filed by the
plaintiff. The Company cannot currently predict the outcome of the appeal.
If final judgment in their favor is received in the Derivative Lawsuit,
certain of the current and former director defendants may make demand on the
Bank for indemnification of their legal expenses pursuant to OTS regulations.
The disinterested members of the Bank's Board of Directors must approve said
indemnification and give 60 days notice to the OTS of the Bank's intention to
make such indemnification. No such indemnification shall be made if the OTS
advises the Bank in writing, within the 60 day notice period, of its
objection thereto. No demand for indemnification has been made by any of the
current defendants.
With respect to the Former President, the court dismissed the claims in the
Derivative Lawsuit without prejudice in order to allow the Bank to pursue
such claims in Federal Court. In May 1995, the Bank filed a lawsuit against
the Former President in the United States District Court for the District of
New Mexico. In the lawsuit, the Bank asserts that the defendant engaged in
fraudulent conduct and breached his duties of loyalty and care to the Bank,
all of which resulted in losses and damages to the Bank. The Bank is seeking
recovery of damages from the defendant in excess of $2.8 million, plus
interest and punitive damages. The Bank's lawsuit against the Former President
is scheduled for trial in March 1997. Legal fees to date with respect to the
Bank's lawsuit against the Former President have been accrued and paid. The
Company does not anticipate that any future legal fees and expenses with
respect to this lawsuit will materially adversely affect its financial
condition or results of operations.
INFLATION - The general rate of inflation over the past three years, as
measured by the Consumer Price Index, has not changed significantly.
Therefore, management does not consider the effects of inflation on the
Bank's financial position and results of operations to be material.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE-MONTH COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS FOR PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995
The Bank's net interest income before provision for credit losses decreased
by $289,732 or 29.34% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the quarter ended September 30, 1995. The decrease in net interest income
before provision for credit losses was due to a decrease in interest income
of $507,120 or 21.53%, which was caused primarily by the recognition in 1995
of deferred interest income in the amount of $365,310 resulting from the
early payoff of a previously restructured loan. In addition, interest income
on U.S. government agency and other securities decreased by $47,892 or 39.28%
due to significant maturities of those securities during the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. In addition, interest income on mortgage-backed
securities decreased by $178,522 or 17.88% in the quarter ended September 30,
1996 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995, primarily due to the
high levels of principal prepayments on those investment securities since the
period ended September 30, 1995.
A decrease of $222,158 or 16.32% in interest expense on deposits is the
result of a decrease in volume and rates paid on deposits as a direct result
of management's overall strategy related to the asset/liability mix of the
Bank and their efforts to develop a more diversified and lower cost deposit
base all of which entailed declines in the average interest rates paid on
interest bearing accounts and the resulting decline in interest bearing
deposits.
The Bank experienced an increase in loans receivable in the third quarter of
1996, as discussed under FINANCIAL CONDITION herein which resulted in a net
increase of $28,967 in management's estimates relative to the provision for
credit losses charged as compared to no provision in the third quarter of
1995 when the Bank's loan portfolio declined $1,900,153 during the quarter
then ended.
F-15
<PAGE>
Non-interest income increased by $15,886 or 8.48% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the same quarter in 1995. The increase was
primarily due to $13,876 increase in other fee income charged for various
services provided to customers and non-customers of the Bank.
The increase in non-interest expenses of $749,284 or 86.04% as compared to
the same period in 1995 was due primarily to the one-time charge of $761,686
for the SAIF Special Assessment charged on September 30, 1996 which is to be
paid in November 1996. Compensation and employee benefit expenses increased
by $32,834 or 8.91% as a result of the opening of a Loan Production Office
during that Quarter in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. These increases were
partially offset by a decrease in real estate operations expenses of $40,610
or 99.20% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter
ended September 30, 1995 which was primarily attributable to reductions in
real estate owned ("REO") during 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.
NINE-MONTH COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS FOR PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995
Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased by
$822,831 or 12.74% and interest expense decreased by $458,107 or 11.24% for
the same period in 1995 to produce a decrease in net interest income before
provision for credit losses of $364,724 or 15.30% as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease in net interest income before
provision for credit losses in 1996 was caused primarily by an early
recognition in 1995 of $365,310 of deferred interest income as a result of
the early payoff of a previously restructured loan. In addition, interest
income on U.S. government agency and other securities and mortgage-backed
securities declined $121,204 or 31.13% and $444,864 or 14.39% respectively,
all of which were the result of lower levels of outstanding investment caused
by significant maturities and prepayments of such securities during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996.
The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
was a credit of $6,775 compared to no provision for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1995. The net credit resulted from reductions in the
allowance for credit losses in early 1996 as a result of management's
revision of previous estimates related to necessary allowances. These
reductions in the allowance for credit losses were offset subsequent to the
first quarter of 1996 by additional charges to the allowance which were
caused primarily by increased levels of lending.
Non-interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996
decreased $16,217 or 2.67% as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1995, and non-interest expense increased by $697,606 or 26.62% during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same time period in
1995. The decline in non-interest income was primarily the result of other
income declines which were partially offset by an increase in loans
held-for-sale which reflects higher levels of loans sold into the secondary
markets during 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. The increase in
non-interest expense was due primarily to the one-time charge of $761,686 for
the SAIF Special Assessment, included in federal insurance expenses. Federal
insurance expense increases were partially offset by a $19,333 or 33.73%
decrease in REO expenses. The decline was attributable to reductions in the
level of REO during 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. In addition,
professional fee expenses decreased by $74,984 or 34.48% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
F-16

nine months ended September 30, 1995 as a result of reduced activities of the
Bank which relate to certain litigation in which the Bank has been involved

With respect to financial forecasts, we have assumed that they have been
reasonably prepared and reflect the best currently available estimates and
judgments of management of AABC, as to the future financial performance of
AABC, and we have assumed such forecasts and projections will be realized in
the amounts and at the times contemplated thereby.
Our opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to
the holders of AABC's common stock and does not address AABC's underlying
business decision to undertake the Offering. Moreover, this letter, and the
opinion expressed herein, does not constitute a recommendation to any
stockholder as to any approval of the Offering. It is understood that this
letter is for the information of the Board of Directors of AABC and may not be
used for any other purpose without our prior written consent, except that
this opinion letter may be included in its entirety in any filings related to
the Offering.
In connection with rendering our opinion, we performed a variety of financial
analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various
determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial
analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances
and, therefore, such an opinion in not readily susceptible to partial
analysis of summary description. Moreover, the valuation of the fair market
value of the minority shares was to some extent a subjective one based on our
experience and judgment and not merely the result of mathematical analysis of
financial data. Accordingly, notwithstanding the separate factors summarized
below, we believe that our analyses must be considered as a whole and that
selecting portions of our analyses and of the factors considered by us,
without considering all analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view
of the evaluation process underlying our conclusion.

In performing our analyses, we made numerous assumptions with respect to
industry performance, business and economic conditions and other matters,
many of which are beyond the control of AABC. The analyses performed by us are
not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be
significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. The
analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which a
company might actually be sold.
No company or transaction used in the comparable company analysis is identical
to AABC. Accordingly, an analysis of the results of the foregoing necessarily
involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in
financial and operating characteristics of AABC and other factors that could
affect the public trading value of the companies to which they are being
compared. Mathematical analysis (such as determining the average or median)
is not in itself a meaningful method of using comparable transaction data or
comparable company data.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of
the date hereof, the subscription price of $5.25 per share is fair from a
financial point of view to the holders of AABC common stock.
Very truly yours,
ALEX SHESHUNOFF & CO.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") contains provisions that
allow indemnification of the directors, officers and employees of the Company
and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. To be entitled to
indemnification, it must be determined that, in general terms, the person
acted in good faith and in a manner believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of Company and, with respect to a criminal action, had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Further, the
DGCL provides that to the extent a director, officer or employee is
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an action, the Company
shall indemnify such person against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, both the Bank
and the Company would be prohibited from paying any indemnification with
respect to any liability or legal expense incurred by a director, officer or
employee as result of an action or proceeding by a federal banking agency
resulting in a civil money penalty or certain other remedies against such
person.
The Board of Directors has approved certain agreements with the
Company's directors and officers relating to indemnification of directors and
officers. Such agreements have been entered into with each director and
officer. The agreements provide for indemnification of directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including advancement of
litigation expenses where appropriate.
Insurance is maintained on a regular basis (and not specifically in
connection with this offering) against liabilities arising on the part of the
directors and officers out of their performance in such capacities or arising
on the part of the Company out of its foregoing indemnification provisions,
subject to certain exclusions and to the policy limits.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that
is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof;
(2) to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the
subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the
transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount
of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms
of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the
underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the
cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set
forth the terms of such offering;
(3) to deliver, or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to
each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report
to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and
furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or rule
14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial
information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not
set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each
person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report
that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide
such interim financial information.
(4) to file, during any period in which it offers or sells
securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information
in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement.
II-3
<PAGE>
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information
on the plan of distribution.
(5) that, for determining liability under the Securities Act, to
treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the
securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the
initial bona fide offering.
(6) to file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration
any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(7) for determining any liability under the Securities Act, to
treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1),
or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration
statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.
(8) that, for determining any liability under the Securities Act,
to treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as
a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration
statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial
bona fide offering those securities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE: Agreement for Subscription Agent Services

The purpose of this letter is to reflect the agreement of Access Anytime

regarding the Bank's acting as the Subscription Agent (as defined below) in
connection with the Company's offering (the "Subscription Offering") of up to
732,198 shares of its common stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"),
pursuant to non-transferable subscription rights at a subscription price of
$5.25 per share. The terms of the Subscription Offering are more fully
described in the Prospectus relating to such offering. A copy of the

declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and as it may be
subsequently amended, shall be referred to herein as the "Prospectus").
Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used herein and defined in the
Prospectus shall have the same meanings herein as set forth for them in the

1. APPOINTMENT OF SUBSCRIPTION AGENT. The Company hereby appoints the
Bank as the subscription agent (the "Subscription Agent") for the

perform the following services for the Company in accordance with the terms
of the Prospectus:
(a) Issue new and replacement Subscription Warrants to Rights Holders;

of the Company;
(e) Communicate with Depository Trust Company and all brokers
regarding their respective record date positions;
<PAGE>
(f) Report to the Company daily on the total number of shares of
Common Stock subscribed for, the amount of funds received, and the
total number of Subscription Rights exercised;
(g) Consult with the Company for specific instructions as to
acceptance or rejection of subscriptions received after the
Expiration Date and subscriptions otherwise failing to comply
with the requirements of the Prospectus and the terms of the
Subscription Warrants;
(h) After the Expiration Date, consult with the Company regarding the
disposition of unused or canceled Subscription Warrants;
(i) Deposit subscription proceeds to the Company or escrow bank account;
(j) Issue certificates for Common Stock to subscribing Rights Holders;
and
(k) Update the Company's share register.
2. NO SOLICITATIONS. The Bank hereby agrees that it shall not at any time
advise any person as to whether such person should subscribe for shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Offering or take any other action
that may be deemed a solicitation.
3. PAYMENT. In exchange for the Bank's Subscription Agent services, the
Company hereby agrees to pay the Bank $5,000, which payment shall be due
and payable upon completion of the Subscription Offering.
4. CONDITION TO SUBSCRIPTION AGENT'S PERFORMANCE. The Bank undertakes the
duties and obligations imposed hereby upon the following terms and
conditions, by all of which the Company shall be bound:
(a) The Bank may consult with legal counsel, who may be, but is not
required to be, legal counsel for the Company, and the opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection to the Bank as to any actions taken or omitted by the
Bank in good faith and in accordance with such opinion;
(b) Whenever, in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Bank
shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be
proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering
any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence
in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed
to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed
by the Chairman and CEO or the President of the Company and
delivered to the Bank; and such certificate shall be full
authorization to the Bank for any action taken or suffered in
good faith by the Bank under the provisions hereof in reliance
upon such certificate;
<PAGE>
(c) The Bank shall be liable hereunder only for its own negligence or
willful misconduct.
(d) The Bank shall not be liable for or by reason of the statements of
fact or recitals contained in the Prospectus or in the Subscription
Warrants or be required to verify the same, except for information
contained therein that relates to the Bank; all statements and
recitals contained in the Prospectus or in the Subscription Warrants
that do not relate to the Bank are and shall be deemed to have been
made by the Company only.
(e) The Bank shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the
validity of the Subscription Warrants, nor shall it be responsible
for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained
in the Prospectus or in any Subscription Warrant; nor shall it by
any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty
as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock
to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Offering or any
Subscription Warrant or as to whether any Shares of Common Stock
will, when issued, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid,
and nonassessable.
(f) The Company agrees that it will indemnify the Subscription Agent
for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or
expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of
the Subscription Agent for anything done or omitted by the
Subscription Agent in connection with the acceptance and
administration of this Agreement, including the costs and expenses
of defending against any claim of liability in the premises,
provided that the Subscription Agent shall have provided the
Company with notice of any such claim promptly after such claim
became known to the Subscription Agent, and provided further that
the Company shall have the right to assume the defense of any such
claim upon receipt of written notice thereof from the Subscription
Agent. If the Company assumes the defense of any such claim, the
Subscription Agent shall be entitled to participate in, but not
control, the defense of any such claim at its own expense. The
Company shall not indemnify the Subscription Agent with respect
to any claim or action settled without its consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(g) The Company agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge, and
deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and
delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and
assurances as may reasonably be required by the Bank for the
carrying out or performing by the Bank of the provisions hereunder.
(h) Nothing herein shall preclude the Bank from acting in any other
capacity for the Company.

Dear Shareholder,
Enclosed for your review are a Prospectus dated December __, 1996 (the
"Prospectus"), Subscription Warrant and documents concerning an offering (the
"Subscription Offering") by Access Anytime Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") of
up to 732,198 shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value ("Common
Stock"). Each stockholder as of the close of business on December 20, 1996 (the
"Record Date") is receiving one Right for each share of Common Stock held
on the Record Date. Each Right entitles the holder to subscribe for and
purchase at a price of $5.25 per share ("Subscription Price") one share of

INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXERCISE OF RIGHTS
Upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus dated December
__, 1996 (the "Prospectus"), Access Anytime Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is
hereby offering to holders of record of its common stock, $.01 par value (the
"Common Stock") at the close of business on December 20, 1996 (the "Record
Date") up to 732,198 shares of Common Stock pursuant to nontransferable
subscription rights (the "Rights") to subscribe for and purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price of $5.25 per share (the "Subscription Price").
Each stockholder on the Record Date is receiving one Right for each share of
Common Stock held of record on the Record Date. Each Right entitles the
holder to whom it is issued (the "Rights Holder") to subscribe for and
purchase at the Subscription Price one share of Common Stock. No fractional
Rights or cash in lieu thereof will be issued or paid. The aggregate number
of Rights issued by the Company to each stockholder has been rounded down to
a whole number.
The total number of shares for which a Rights Holder is entitled to
subscribe is printed on the enclosed Subscription Warrant. Submission of the
Subscription Warrant and payment of the Subscription Price in the manner
described herein are required in order to subscribe for shares of Common
Stock in the Subscription Offering. Completed Certificates and payment of
the aggregate Subscription Price for the subscribed Common Stock should be
sent to the Subscription Agent at the address listed below. ELECTION OF A
RIGHTS HOLDER TO EXERCISE RIGHTS IS IRREVOCABLE.
Rights Holders may exercise their Rights until 5:00 p.m., New York time
on January 31, 1997, unless extended by the Company at its option to a date
not later than February 14, 1997 (the "Expiration Date"). After the
Expiration Date, the Rights will no longer be exercisable and will have no
value. The distribution of Rights and sale of Common Stock upon the exercise
of Rights is referred to as the "Subscription Offering."
The Subscription Offering will not be consummated and all funds will be
returned without interest if the gross proceeds from the Subscription
Offering do not equal at least $1.5 million (the "Minimum Offering").
1. Subscription Price.
The Subscription Price is $5.25 per share of Common Stock.
2. Rights.
The total number of such Rights is printed on the enclosed Subscription
Warrant. The number of Rights to which each shareholder is entitled is
calculated by multiplying the number of shares owned by each shareholder on
the Record Date by one. No fractional Rights will be issued, and the number
of Rights issued will be rounded down to a whole number in the case of
<PAGE>
fractional shares. A Rights Holder may elect to subscribe for fewer than the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock to which he or she is entitled under
the Subscription Offering.
3. Beneficial Ownership.
Holders of Common Stock who hold shares for the account of others, such
as depositories, banks, trust companies, securities brokers or dealers,
administrators, trustees or other nominees, should contact the respective
Beneficial Owners of such shares as soon as possible to ascertain the
Beneficial Owners' intentions and to obtain instructions with respect to the
Rights. If a Beneficial Owner so instructs, the holder of Common Stock
should complete the Subscription Warrant and submit it to the Subscription
Agent with the proper payment. Additionally, Beneficial Owners of Common
Stock held through such a nominee holder should contact the nominee holder
and request the nominee holder to effect transactions in accordance with the
Beneficial Owner's instructions.
4. Nontransferable.
The Rights being granted as part of the Subscription Offering are not
transferable. Only the Rights Holder named in the Subscription Warrant may
exercise the Rights. The term "Rights Holder" includes financial
institutions that are participants in a securities depository, such as DTC,
and that held shares of Common Stock on the Record Date in such securities
depository.
5. Method to Subscribe.
Rights may be exercised by properly completing and duly executing the
Subscription Warrant and having it delivered to First Savings Bank, F.S.B.
(the "Subscription Agent") at the address set forth below, together with full
payment of the Subscription Price for all shares of Common Stock subscribed
for pursuant to the Rights Offering.
THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT IS:
First Savings Bank, F.S.B.
801 Pile Street - PO Box 1569
Clovis, New Mexico 88102-1569
The Subscription Agent's telephone number is (505) 762-4417.
For example, a shareholder owning 100 shares of Common Stock on the
Record Date would receive Rights to subscribe for 100 shares of Common Stock.
To compute the payment due, multiply the number of shares subscribed for by
the Subscription Price (i.e., 100 shares x $5.25 = $525). A Rights
Holder may subscribe for less than the full number of shares of Common Stock
to which such Rights Holder is entitled pursuant to the Subscription Offering.
6. Payment of Purchase Price.

<PAGE>
Payment may only be made by bank certified check or cashier's check,
payable to "First Savings Bank, F.S.B., Subscription Agent."
7. Signature and Address.
(a) SIGNATURES BY REGISTERED RIGHTS HOLDERS. The signature on the
Subscription Warrant must correspond with the name of the registered Rights
Holder exactly as it appears on the face of the Subscription Warrant without
any alteration or change whatsoever. Persons who sign the Subscription
Warrant in a representative or other fiduciary capacity must indicate when
signing and, unless waived by the Subscription Agent in its sole and absolute
discretion, must present to the Subscription Agent satisfactory evidence of
their authority to act.
(b) EXECUTION BY PERSONS OTHER THAN REGISTERED RIGHTS HOLDER. If the
Subscription Warrant is signed by a person other than the Rights Holder named
on the face of the Subscription Warrant, proper evidence of authority of the
person signing the Subscription Warrant must accompany the same unless, for
good cause, the Subscription Agent dispenses with proof of authority.
8. Late Delivery of Subscription Warrants -- Guaranteed Delivery
Procedures
If a Rights Holder wishes to exercise Rights, but time will not permit
such holder to cause the Subscription Warrant(s) evidencing those Rights to
reach the Subscription Agent prior to the specified time on the Expiration
Date, such Rights may nevertheless be exercised if all of the following
conditions (the "Guaranteed Delivery Procedures") are met: (i) the
Subscription Agent receives, at or prior to the specified time on the
Expiration Date, a guarantee notice (a "Notice of Guaranteed Delivery"),
substantially in the form provided with these Instructions, from a member
firm of a registered national securities exchange or a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or from a financial institution that

Exchange Medallion Program or the New York Stock Exchange Inc. Medallion
Signature Program (each, an "Eligible Institution"), stating the name of the
exercising Rights Holder, the number of Rights represented by the
Subscription Warrant(s) held by the exercising Rights Holder and the number
of shares of Common Stock being subscribed for, and guaranteeing the delivery
to the Subscription Agent of the Subscription Warrant(s) evidencing those
Rights and payment of the Subscription Price within three (3) business days
following the date of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery; and (ii) the
properly completed Subscription Warrant(s) evidencing the Rights being
exercised and payment of the Subscription Price is received by the
subscription Agent within three (3) business days following the date of the
Notice of Guaranteed Delivery relating thereto. The Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery may be delivered to the Subscription Agent in the same manner as

<PAGE>
If an exercising Rights Holder does not indicate the number of Rights
being exercised, or does not forward full payment of the aggregate
Subscription Price for the number of Rights that the Rights Holder indicates
are being exercised, then the Rights Holder will be deemed to have exercised
the maximum number of Rights that may be exercised for the aggregate
Subscription Price payment delivered by the Rights Holder. Any excess amount
will be returned to the Rights Holder without interest or deductions.
Certificates representing shares of Common Stock purchased in the
Subscription Offering will be delivered as soon as practicable after the
conclusion of the Subscription Offering.
10. Irregularities.
All questions concerning the timeliness, validity, form and eligibility
of any exercise of Rights will be determined by the Company, whose
determinations will be final and binding. The Company, in its sole
discretion, may waive any defect or irregularity, or permit a defect or
irregularity to be corrected within such time as it may determine, or reject
a purported exercise of any Right. Subscription Warrants will not be deemed
to have been received or accepted until all irregularities have been waived
or cured within such time as the Company determines, in its sole discretion.
Neither the Company nor the Subscription Agent will be under any duty to give
notification of any defect or irregularity in connection with the submission
of Subscription Warrants or orders or incur any liability for failure to give
such notification.
