1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements, representing the consolidation
of the financial results of Liberty Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its
subsidiary Liberty Bank (the "Bank"), were prepared in accordance with
instructions for Form 10-QSB and regulation S-X and do not include information
or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition,
results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, are not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire
fiscal year.

2. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the
unallocated portion of shares held by the ESOP in accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 93-6. Diluted
net income per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding to include the effect of stock options or
other contracts to issue common stock, if dilutive, using the treasury stock
method.

           CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Discussion of Forward-Looking Statements

When used or incorporated by reference in disclosure documents, the words
"anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "target", "goal" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements
are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more
of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated,
estimated, expected or projected. These forward-looking statements speak only as
of the date of the document. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to publicly release any update or revisions to any forward-looking
statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company's expectation
with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on
which such statement is based.

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

The Company's assets at June 30, 2000 totaled $288.2 million, which represents
an increase of $4.9 million or 1.73% as compared with $283.2 million at December
31, 1999. Such increase was largely funded by a $14.4 million increase in
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB") offset by a
decrease of $8.5 million in deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents showed no change at June 30, 2000 from December 31,
1999, with balances at $3.6 million.

Securities available for sale at June 30, 2000 decreased by $5.1 million, or
10.5% to $43.6 million from $48.7 million at December 31, 1999. The decrease
during the six months ended June 30, 2000, resulted primarily from principal
repayments. There were no purchases of securities available for sale during the
period.

Securities held to maturity increased by $13,000 due to accretions of discounts
during the six month period.

Net loans increased $9.7 million or 4.8% to $211.7 million at March 31, 2000
from $202 million at December 31, 1999. The increase during the six months ended
June 30, 2000, resulted primarily from loan originations exceeding loan
principal repayments.

Foreclosed real estate amounting to $80,000 and consisting of one property at
June 30, 2000 was unchanged from the balance at December 31, 1999.

Deposits at June 30, 2000 decreased $8.5 million or 3.90% to $212.0 million when
compared with $220.5 million at December 31, 1999. The decrease in deposits
resulted from interest credited of $4.6 million offset by net withdrawals of
$13.1 million.

Stockholders' equity totaled $31.7 million and $31.9 million at June 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999, respectively. Such decrease was largely due to the
repurchase of 72,930 shares of common stock at an average price of $6.67
totaling $486,527 and the payment of dividends partially offset by net income.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

Net income decreased $15,000 or 5.0% to $285,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 compared with $300,000 for the same period in 1999. The decrease in net
income during the 2000 period resulted primarily from an increase in
non-interest expense and a decrease in non-interest income that were partially
offset by an increase in net-interest income.

Interest income on loans increased by $486,000 or 14.6% to $3.8 million during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $3.3 million during the same period in
1999. The increase during the 2000 period resulted from an increase of $23.8
million in the average balances of loans outstanding and a 12 basis point
increase in the yield earned on the loan portfolio.

Interest on securities available for sale, consisting of adjustable rate
mortgage-backed securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations, decreased by
$171,000 to $739,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $910,000
for the same period in 1999. The decrease during the 2000 period resulted from a
$17.7 million decrease in average balances of securities available for sale,
partially offset by an 80 basis point increase in the yield earned on such
securities.

Interest on securities held to maturity, consisting of short-term and mid-term
government agency bonds, increased by $2,000 to $300,000 during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from $298,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase
during the 2000 period resulted from a $1.0 million increase in average balances
of securities held to maturity offset by a 30 basis point decrease in the yield
earned on such securities.

Interest income on other interest-earning assets decreased by $4,000 during the
three months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to same period in 1999. The
decrease during the 2000 period resulted from a $1.1 million decrease in the
average balance offset by a 115 basis point increase in the yield on this
portfolio.

Interest expense on deposits decreased by $113,000 or 4.5% to $2.38 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to $2.49 million for
the same period in 1999. Such decrease during the 2000 period was attributable
to a $12.8 million or 5.8% decrease in average balances of interest bearing
deposits outstanding partially offset by a 6 basis point increase in cost of
funds. Interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings increased by
$296,000 or 96.1% to $604,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 when
compared to $308,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase during the 2000
period was attributable to a $17 million or 80.5% increase in average balances
of FHLB advances and other borrowings outstanding coupled with a 50 basis point
increase in cost of such liabilities.

Net interest income increased $129,000 or 7.2% to $1.92 million during the three
months ended June 30, 2000 when compared with $1.79 million for the same period
in 1999. Such increase was due to an increase in total interest income of
$313,000 partially offset by an increase in total interest expense of $184,000.
The net interest rate spread increased 9 basis points to 2.22% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. The yield on interest earning assets increased by 31
basis points which was partially offset by a 22 basis point increase in the cost
of interest bearing liabilities.

During the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Bank made provisions
for loan losses of $30,000 and $15,000, respectively. The allowance for loan
losses is based on management's evaluation of the risks inherent in the Bank's
portfolio given due consideration to changes in general market conditions and
the nature and volume of the Bank's loan activity. The Bank intends to continue
to provide for loan losses as needed based on its periodic review of the loan
portfolio and general market conditions.

           CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by
the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations. The requirement, which the
OTS may vary from time to time depending upon economic conditions and deposit
flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The
required ratio currently is 4.0%. The Bank's liquidity averaged 27.97% during
the month of June 2000. The Bank adjusts its liquidity levels in order to meet
funding needs for deposit outflows, payment of real estate taxes from escrow
accounts on mortgage loans, repayment of borrowings, when applicable, and loan
funding commitments. The Bank also adjusts its liquidity level as appropriate to
meet its asset/liability objectives.

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayments
of loans and mortgage-backed securities principal, maturities of investment
securities and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan and
mortgage-backed securities amortization and maturing term deposits and
investment securities are relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows
and loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by
market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The levels of these
assets are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing, lending and investing
activities during any given period. The Bank has other sources of liquidity if a
need for additional funds arises, including advances from the FHLB. At June 30,
2000, the Bank had short-term outstanding advances of $7,400,000 and securities
sold under agreements to repurchase of $31,800,000 from the FHLB.

The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its
current loan commitments. At June 30, 2000, the Bank has outstanding commitments
to originate loans of $12.1 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature
in one year or less at June 30, 2000, totaled $92.6 million. Management believes
that, based upon its experience and the Bank's deposit flow history, a
significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

Under OTS regulations, each savings institution must maintain tangible capital
equal to at least 1.5% of its total adjusted assets, core capital equal to at
least 4.0% of its total adjusted assets and total capital equal to at least 8.0%
of its risk-weighted assets. The following table sets forth the Bank's capital
position at June 30, 2000 as compared to the minimum regulatory capital
requirements:

                     LIBERTY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Capability of the Bank's Data Processing Hardware to Accommodate the Year 2000

The Company had developed and implemented a plan to deal with the issues
associated with the programming code within the computer systems and related
embedded technology with respect to the rollover of the two digit year value to
00 ("Year 2000"). The issue was whether computer systems would properly
recognize date sensitive information when the year changed to 2000.

The Company has not experienced any significant issues associated with the Year
2000 problem as a result of the date change to January 1, 2000 or any date
subsequent thereto. The incremental costs related to the Year 2000 compliance
were approximately $3,000 in 1999 and $100,000 in 1998, respectively. Any
additional incremental costs associated with Year 2000 issues are not expected
to be material.

Management will continue to monitor operations through the year 2000 and
although no assurances can be given, it is not expected that any future adverse
developments will arise with respect to Year 2000.

Supervisory Examination

The OTS and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") as part of their
regulatory oversight of the thrift industry periodically examine the Bank's
financial statements. As a result of these examinations, the regulators can
direct that the Bank make adjustments to its financial statements based on their
findings.

           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General

As with other savings institutions, the Bank's most significant form of market
risk is interest rate risk. The Bank's assets, consisting primarily of mortgage
loans, have longer maturities than its liabilities, consisting primarily of
deposits. As a result, a principal part of the Bank's business strategy is to
manage interest rate risk and manage the exposure of the Bank's net interest
income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, the Board of Directors
has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee which is responsible for
evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in the Bank's assets and liabilities,
determining the level of risk that is appropriate given the Bank's business
strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives,
and managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of
Directors. The Asset/Liability Management Committee consists of senior
management operating under a policy adopted by the Board of Directors and meets
at least quarterly to review the Bank's asset/liability polices and interest
rate risk position.

The Bank has pursued the following strategies to manage interest rate risk: (1)
originating one-to-four family adjustable rate mortgage loans, (2) purchasing
adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac
or GNMA, (3) increasing adjustable rate home equity lending and fixed-rate home
equity lending with maturities of five years or less, (4) investing in
shorter-term securities which generally have lower yields compared to longer
term investments, but which better position the Bank to reinvest its assets if
market interest rates increase and (5) originating commercial real estate loans
with shorter maturities than residential loans.

The Bank's current investment strategy is to maintain a securities portfolio
that provides a source of liquidity and that contributes to the Bank's overall
profitability and asset mix within given quality and maturity considerations.
The securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Treasury, Federal Government
and government sponsored corporation securities. Much of the Bank's investment
securities and mortgage-backed securities are classified as available for sale
to provide management with the flexibility to make adjustments to the portfolio
in the event of changes in interest rates, to fulfill unanticipated liquidity
needs, or to take advantage of alternative investment opportunities.

At June 30, 2000, the Bank had adjustable rate mortgage loans of $41.9 million,
or 19.8% of total loans and $33.7 million or 77% of securities available for
sale in adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities.

Net Portfolio Value

The Bank's interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the use
of the OTS model which estimates the change in the Bank's net portfolio value
(NPV") over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of
expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts.
The NPV ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that
scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The OTS
produces its analysis based upon data submitted on the Bank's quarterly Thrift
Financial Reports.

Net Portfolio Value (Cont'd.)

The following table presents the Bank's NPV at March 31, 2000, the latest
information available, as calculated by the OTS, which is based upon quarterly
information that the Bank provided voluntarily to the OTS. In the opinion of
management, there have been no material changes to the Bank's NPV since March
31, 2000.

                    Percentage Change in Net Portfolio Value

         Interest Rates       Change           NPV             Change

                   300          (79.00)%        4,961         (18,930)
                   200          (53.00)%       11,340         (12,551)
                   100          (26.00)%       17,740          (6,151)
                    --              --         23,891              --
                  (100)          22.00 %       29,166           5,275
                  (200)          36.00 %       32,462           8,571
                  (300)          46.00 %       34,765          10,874

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest
rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in NPV requires making certain
assumptions which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and
costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the NPV table
presented assumes that the composition of the Bank's interest sensitive assets
and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remain constant over the
period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is
reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or
repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV
table provides an indication of the Bank's interest rate risk exposure at a
particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not
provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on
the Bank's net interest income, and will differ from actual results.
Additionally, the guidelines established by the Board of Directors is to limit
projected NPV changes within the Board's guidelines, the Bank will not
necessarily limit projected changes in NPV if the required action would present
disproportionate risk to the Bank's continued profitability.
