                                                           December 20, 2000




Dear Shareholder:

     The fiscal year ending  September  30,  2000,  was a period of  substantial
growth for NASB. Our total assets increased 19.4%, to $985mm. Earnings, adjusted
for extraordinary items, improved for the tenth consecutive year, to $14,721m, a
14.5% increase over the previous year.

     During these past ten years,  our total assets have increased 153%, to $985
million,  and book value per share has increased from $1.83 to $9.63,  an 18.06%
annually compounded increase.

     As in previous  years,  we continued to upgrade the retail  facilities that
will  insure our future  growth.  In July,  we moved  into our new  facility  in
Independence, at 11400 23rd Street, across the street from our previous building
there.  In September,  we began  construction  of an additional  office in North
Kansas City, at the corner of Barry Road and Winter  Avenue,  to compliment  our
existing office, at 8501 North Oak Trafficway.

     In July, we completed the  repurchase of over 500,000  shares of our common
stock.  This was accomplished by a formal tender offer to all  shareholders,  at
$12.50 per share.

     Competition in the real estate lending markets remains intense. Many of our
competitors  are  determined  to  increase  market  share,   without  regard  to
profitability.  It is important to note that many national  lenders have reduced
their  reliance on  residential  lending,  and/or have changed their policies to
increase  profits.  The focus on volume  remains  among a handful of managers in
most local  markets.  Compounding  this  problem is the  increase in  short-term
rates,  relative to longer,  residential  mortgage  rates.  During the year, the
one-year  treasury  obligation  increased from 5.17%,  to 6.06%,  while mortgage
rates  decreased.  At this  time,  I see no  indication  that  either  of  these
situations will change.

     As in  previous  years,  we are  cautiously  optimistic  about  our  future
profitability, and continue to appreciate your support.



                                                           Sincerely,





                                                           David H. Hancock
                                                           Board Chairman

General
     NASB  Financial,  Inc. ("the Company") was formed in April 1998 to become a
unitary thrift  holding  company of North American  Savings Bank,  F.S.B.  ("the
Bank" or "North  American").  The  Company's  principal  business  is to provide
banking  services through the Bank.  Specifically,  the Bank obtains savings and
checking  deposits  from the  public,  then uses those  funds to  originate  and
purchase   real  estate  loans  and  other  loans.   The  Bank  also   purchases
mortgage-backed  securities ("MBS") and other investment securities from time to
time as conditions warrant.  In addition to customer deposits,  the Bank obtains
funds   from  the  sale  of  loans   held-for-sale,   the  sale  of   securities
available-for-sale,  repayments of existing  mortgage assets,  and advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB").  The Bank's  primary  sources of income are
interest on loans, MBS, and investment securities plus customer service fees and
income from lending activities.  Expenses consist primarily of interest payments
on customer deposits and other borrowings and general and administrative costs.

     The Bank operates eight deposit branch  locations,  eight  residential loan
origination  branch offices,  and two residential  construction loan origination
offices,  primarily  in the greater  Kansas City area.  Consumer  loans are also
offered through the Bank's branch network. Customer deposit accounts are insured
up to allowable  limits by the Savings  Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF"),  a
division of the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC").  The Bank is
regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and the FDIC.

Financial Condition
     Total assets as of September 30, 2000, were $984.5 million,  an increase of
$158.8  million  from  the  prior  year-end.   Average  interest-earning  assets
increased $139.2 million from the prior year to $875.3 million.

     As the Bank originates loans each month,  management evaluates the existing
market  conditions to determine which loans will be held in the Bank's portfolio
and  which  loans  will be  sold  in the  secondary  market.  Loans  sold in the
secondary   market  are  sold  with   servicing   released  or  converted   into
mortgage-backed  securities  ("MBS") and sold with the servicing retained by the
Bank. At the time of each loan commitment, a decision is made to either hold the
loan for investment,  hold it for sale with servicing  retained,  or hold it for
sale with servicing  released.  Management  monitors market conditions to decide
whether loans should be held in the portfolio or sold and if sold,  which method
of sale is  appropriate.  During the year ended  September  30,  2000,  the Bank
originated  $288.1  million in mortgage  loans held for sale,  $374.4 million in
mortgage loans held for investment, and $31.5 million in other loans. This total
of $694.1 million in loan  originations was an increase of $7.3 million over the
prior fiscal year.

     Included in the $88.3  million in loans held for sale as of  September  30,
2000,  are  $11.5  million  in  residential  mortgage  loans  held for sale with
servicing released.  Also included in loans held for sale at September 30, 2000,
are $0.4 million in  commercial  residential  loans insured by the FHA. The Bank
holds  options to sell  these  insured  loans  back to the FHA during  specified
periods in the future at specified  prices.  All loans held for sale are carried
at the lower of cost or fair value.

     The balance of total loans held for  investment at September 30, 2000,  was
$825.7 million,  an increase of $166.9 million from the balance at September 30,
1999. During fiscal 2000, total originations and purchases of mortgage loans and
other loans held for investment  were $442.4 million.  A significant  portion of
the increase in loans held for investment were residential  construction  loans.
The gross balance of construction  and  development  loans was $246.8 million at
September 30, 2000, an increase of $49.8 million (25%).

     Mortgage servicing rights increased $970,000 during fiscal 2000 as a result

total  balance of mortgage  loans  serviced  for others was $706.7  million,  an
increase of $39.0 million from the prior fiscal year-end.

     Total liabilities were $900.9 million at September 30, 2000, an increase of
$154.0   million  (21%)  from  the  previous  year.   Average   interest-costing
liabilities  during fiscal year 2000 were $812.8 million,  an increase of $135.3
million from fiscal 1999.

     Total customer deposit accounts  increased $56.2 million during fiscal year
2000.  This was  comprised  of  increases of $59.6  million in  certificates  of
deposit and $5.0 million in demand deposit accounts, offset by decreases of $7.9
million in savings  accounts and $0.5 million in money market  demand  accounts.
The average interest rate on customer deposits at September 30, 2000, was 5.46%,
a decrease of 63 basis points from the prior  year-end.  The average  balance of
customer  deposits during fiscal 2000 was $592.8  million,  an increase of $40.6

     Advances  from the FHLB were  $264.4  million at  September  30,  2000,  an
increase of $96.3  million from the prior fiscal  year-end.  During  fiscal year
2000,  the Bank borrowed  $303.2 million of new advances and made $206.9 million
of repayments.  Management  continues to use FHLB advances as a primary  funding
source to provide  operating  liquidity and to fund the  origination of mortgage
loans.

     During the year ended  September 30, 2000, the Company  repurchased a total
of 603,037  shares of its common  stock at a cost of $7.4  million.  Included in
these repurchases were 517,265 shares,  which the Company purchased  pursuant to
an Issuer  Tender Offer of $12.50 per share that settled on July 5, 2000.  Total
fees and expenses incurred for the offer were approximately $10,000. Also during
fiscal 2000,  the Company paid a total of $3.4 million in cash  dividends to its
stockholders.

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

     During fiscal year 2000, average  interest-earning  assets exceeded average
interest-costing  liabilities by $62.5 million,  which was 6.9% of average total
assets. In fiscal year 1999,  average  interest-earning  assets exceeded average
interest-costing  liabilities by $58.6 million,  which was 7.7% of average total
assets.

     The table below  presents the total dollar  amounts of interest  income and
expense  on  the  indicated  amounts  of  average   interest-earning  assets  or
interest-costing  liabilities,  with the average interest rates for the year and
at the  end of  each  year.  Average  yields  reflect  yield  reductions  due to
non-accrual  loans.  Average  balances and weighted  average  yields at year-end
include all accrual and  non-accrual  loans.  Dollar  amounts are  expressed  in
thousands.

Comparison of Years Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
     For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000, the Company had net income of
$14.7  million,  or $1.66 per share,  compared to net income $12.9  million,  or
$1.43 per share in the prior year.

     Total  interest  income for the year ended  September  30, 2000,  was $79.0
million, an increase of $15.4 million (24%) over fiscal year 1999. $12.7 million
of this  increase  was the result of an  increase  in  average  interest-earning
assets of $139.2  million  during the period from $736.1  million  during fiscal
1999 to $875.3  million  during  fiscal 2000.  The average  yield on assets also
increased  during  fiscal 2000 to 9.02% from 8.63%  during  fiscal  1999,  which
accounted for $2.3 million of the increase in total interest income.

     Interest income on loans increased $15.8 million to $76.1 million in fiscal
2000, compared to $60.2 million during fiscal 1999.  Approximately $13.4 million
of this  increase was the result of an increase in the average  balance of loans
outstanding  of $151.9  million  over the prior  period and $1.9  million of the
increase  was a result of a 28 basis  point  increase  in the  average  yield on
loans. The weighted average rate on loans receivable at the year ended September
30, 2000, was 8.75%, a 47 basis point increase from September 30, 1999.

     Interest on MBS declined  during  fiscal year 2000 due to a decrease in the
average  balance of MBS of $6.7  million  and a decrease  in yield on MBS of 106
basis  points.  In recent  years,  North  American has focused its growth on the

<PAGE>

commercial real estate,  residential construction,  and residential "whole loan"
portfolios, so there have been no purchases of MBS. Management plans to continue
using MBS repayments as a source of funding for loan originations.

     Total interest expense during the year ended September 30, 2000,  increased
$10.0  million  (30%)  from the same  period  in the prior  year.  Specifically,
interest on customer  deposits  increased $3.6 million due to an increase in the
average  balance of $40.6  million and a 28 basis point  increase in the average
rate  paid  on  interest-costing  liabilities.  The  average  rate  paid on FHLB
advances  increased  53 basis  points and the average  balance  increased  $94.8
million.  Management  continues  to use FHLB  advances  as a  primary  source of
short-term financing.

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

     Management  records a provision  for loan losses in amounts  sufficient  to
cover  current net  charge-offs  and an estimate of probable  losses based on an
analysis of risks that management believes to be inherent in the loan portfolio.
The General Valuation Allowance ("GVA") recognizes the inherent risks associated
with lending activities but, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated
to particular  problem assets but to a homogenous  pool of loans.  The provision
for  losses on loans was  $600,000  during the year ended  September  30,  2000,
compared to $300,000 during fiscal 1999. Management analyzes the adequacy of the
allowance  on a  monthly  basis  and  believes  that the  Bank's  specific  loss
allowances and GVA are adequate.  While  management uses  information  currently
available to determine these allowances,  they can fluctuate based on changes in
economic  conditions  and changes in the  information  available to  management.
Also,  regulatory agencies review the Bank's allowances for loan loss as part of
their  examination,  and they may require the Bank to recognize  additional loss
provisions based on the information available at the time of their examinations.

     Total other  income for fiscal year 2000 was $9.4  million,  an decrease of
$2.0 million from the amount earned in fiscal year 1999. Specifically,  gains on
loans held for sale  decreased  $2.2 million due to an decrease in the volume of
loans sold.  The  valuation  of mortgage  servicing  rights  during  fiscal 2000
resulted  in an  impairment  provision  of  $164,000  compared  to a recovery of
impairment  during  fiscal 1999 of  $118,000.  This was  partially  offset by an
increase  in  loan  servicing  fees  of  $0.4  million  due  to  a  decrease  in
amortization of capitalized  mortgage servicing rights,  which was a result of a
decrease in prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans. Also, customer service
fees and charges increased $0.2 million.

     Total  general  and  administrative  expenses  for  fiscal  year  2000 were
relatively  unchanged  from  the  prior  year.  Specifically,  the  increase  in
compensation  expense of $0.5 million  (4.6%) million was offset by decreases in
Federal  deposit  insurance  premiums  of  $150,000,   advertising  expenses  of
$283,000, and other expenses of $153,000.

Comparison of Years Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
     For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, the Company had net income of
$12.9 million,  or $1.43 per share,  compared to net income in the prior year of
$13.6 million, or $1.52 per share.

     Total  interest  income for the year ended  September  30, 1999,  was $63.6
million,  an increase of $1.2 million  (2%) over fiscal year 1998.  This was the
result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $28.5 million during
the period from $707.6  million  during  fiscal  1998 to $736.1  million  during
fiscal 1999.  This was  partially  offset by a decrease in the average  yield on
assets  during the period of 19 basis  points from 8.82%  during  fiscal 1998 to
8.63% during fiscal 1999.

     Interest  income on loans increased $2.5 million to $60.2 million in fiscal
1999, compared to $57.7 million during fiscal 1998. This increase was the result
of an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding of $41.0 million over
the prior period,  partially  offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans
of 17 basis points.  The weighted  average rate on loans receivable at September
30, 1999, was 8.28%, a 19 basis point increase from September 30, 1998. However,
the  weighted  average  yield on the Bank's loan  portfolio  decreased  17 basis
points during  fiscal 1999 to 8.85%,  due to a decrease in the  amortization  of
deferred fees and  discounts on loans,  which  occurred  because of a decease in
loan repayments.

<PAGE>

     Interest on MBS declined  during  fiscal year 1999 due to a decrease in the
average  balance of MBS of $15.7  million,  partially  offset by an  increase in
yield on MBS of 50 basis points.

     Total interest expense during the year ended September 30, 1999,  decreased
$1.4 million (4%) from the same period in the prior year. Specifically, interest
on customer deposits  decreased $931,000 due to a 35 basis point decrease in the
average rate paid on interest-costing  liabilities,  partially offset by a $19.1
million increase in the average balances. The average rate paid on FHLB advances
decreased  39 basis  point from the prior  year,  partially  offset by  $342,000
increase in average balances.

     The  provision  for  losses on loans was  $300,000  during  the year  ended
September 30, 1999,  compared to $64,000  during fiscal 1998.  The provision was
lower during fiscal 1998 as the result of a loan recovery.

     Total other  income for fiscal year 1999 was $11.4  million,  unchanged  in
total from the amount recorded in fiscal year 1998. Specifically, loan servicing
fees  increased  $0.5 million due to a decrease in  amortization  of capitalized
mortgage  servicing  rights,  which was a result of a decrease in prepayments of
the underlying  mortgage  loans.  During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, a
valuation  allowance  of $651,000 was  established  for  impairment  of mortgage
servicing rights.  The valuation of mortgage servicing rights during fiscal 1999
resulted in a recovery of impairment  of $118,000.  Provision for losses on real
estate  owned for fiscal 1998 was a net  recovery of $2.0 million as a result of
the  sale of one  large  commercial  property.  Gains  on  loans  held  for sale
increased $593,000 due to an increase in the volume of loans sold.

     Total general and  administrative  expenses for fiscal year 1999  increased
$3.1 million from the prior year.  Specifically,  compensation expense increased
$1.5  million,  due  primarily  to an increase  in staffing in the  residential,
construction,   and  consumer  lending  departments.   Other  operating  expense
increased $938,000,  due primarily to increased expenses related to the increase
in total  loan  origination  volume,  start-up  expenses  to open one new retail
deposit branch and two new loan origination branches,  and costs associated with
the renovation of the Bank's automated systems for year 2000 compliance.

Asset/Liability Management
     Management recognizes that there are certain market risk factors present in
the structure of the Bank's  financial  assets and  liabilities.  Since the Bank
does not have material amounts of derivative securities,  equity securities,  or
foreign  currency  positions,  interest rate risk ("IRR") is the primary  market
risk that is inherent in the Bank's portfolio.

     The  objective  of the Bank's IRR  management  process is to  maximize  net
interest income over a range of possible  interest rate paths. The monitoring of
interest  rate  sensitivity  on  both  the   interest-earning   assets  and  the
interest-costing  liabilities  are key to effectively  managing IRR.  Management
maintains an IRR policy,  which outlines a methodology  for monitoring  interest
rate risk. The Board of Directors  reviews this policy and approves changes on a
quarterly  basis.  The IRR  policy  also  identifies  the  duties of the  Bank's
Asset/Liability  Committee ("ALCO"). Among other things, the ALCO is responsible
for  developing  the  Bank's  annual  business  plan  and  investment  strategy,
monitoring  anticipated  weekly  cashflows,  establishing  prices for the Bank's
various products, and implementing strategic IRR decisions.

     On a quarterly  basis, the Bank monitors the estimate of changes that would
potentially occur to its net portfolio value ("NPV") of assets, liabilities, and
off-balance  sheet  items  assuming a sudden  change in market  interest  rates.
Management  presents a NPV analysis to the Board of  Directors  each quarter and
NPV policy limits are reviewed and approved.

     The  following  table  is an  interest  rate  sensitivity  analysis,  which
summarizes  information  provided by the OTS, which estimates the changes in NPV
of the Bank's  portfolio of assets,  liabilities,  and  off-balance  sheet items
given a range of assumed changes in market interest  rates.  These  computations
estimate the effect on the Bank's NPV of an  instantaneous  and sustained change
in market  interest  rates of plus and minus  300 basis  points,  as well as the
Bank's current IRR policy limits on such estimated changes.  The computations of
the   estimated   effects  of  interest  rate  changes  are  based  on  numerous
assumptions,  including  a constant  relationship  between the levels of various
market interest rates and estimates of prepayments of financial assets.  The OTS
compiled this information  using data from the Bank's Thrift Financial Report as
of September 30, 2000. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

     Management  cannot predict future interest rates and the effect of changing
interest  rates on future net interest  margin,  net income,  or NPV can only be
estimated.  However,  management  believes that its overall system of monitoring
and managing IRR is effective.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
     The consolidated  financial statements and related data presented have been
prepared in accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United States of America,  which require the  measurement of financial  position
and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes
in the relative  purchasing  power of money over time due to  inflation.  Unlike
most  industrial  companies,  most of the  Bank's  assets  and  liabilities  are
monetary in nature.  Except for inflation's impact on general and administrative
expenses,   interest  rates  have  a  more  significant  impact  on  the  Bank's
performance  than do the effects of  inflation.  However,  the level of interest
rates may be  significantly  affected by the  potential  changes in the monetary
policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal  Reserve  System in an attempt
to  impact  inflation.  Interest  rates  do not  necessarily  move  in the  same
direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services.

     Changing  interest rates impact the demand for new loans,  which affect the
value and  profitability of North American's loan origination  department.  Rate
fluctuations  inversely  affect  the  value  of the  Bank's  mortgage  servicing
portfolio because of their impact on mortgage prepayments. Falling rates usually
stimulate a demand for new loans,  which makes the  mortgage  banking  operation
more valuable,  but also  encourages  mortgage  prepayments,  which depletes the
value of mortgage servicing. Rising rates generally have the opposite effect on
these operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     The  OTS  specifies  a  required   minimum   liquidity   ratio  for  thrift
institutions,  defined  as liquid  assets as a  percentage  of net  withdrawable
deposits  and current  borrowings.  The Bank's  liquidity  ratio may increase or
decrease  depending on the  availability of funds and the comparative  yields on
investment  alternatives.  For secondary sources of liquidity, the Bank may sell
assets  available  for  sale,  borrow  from  primary  securities  dealers  on  a
collateralized basis, or may use the FHLB's credit facility.

     North  American  maintains  a balance of liquid  assets  above the  minimum
regulatory  requirement  and at a level  adequate  to meet the  requirements  of
normal  banking  activities,  including  the  repayment  of  maturing  debt  and
potential deposit withdrawals. The required liquidity ratio, which may vary from
time to time, was 4% during September 2000 and 1999. For the months of September
2000  and  1999,  North  American's   liquidity  ratios  were  9.8%  and  11.5%,
respectively.

     The OTS also requires thrift  institutions to maintain  specified levels of
regulatory  capital.  As of September 30, 2000,  the Bank's  regulatory  capital
exceeded all minimum capital  requirements,  which consist of three  components:
tangible,  core,  and  risk-based.  A schedule,  which more fully  describes the
Bank's  regulatory  capital  requirements,  is  provided  in  the  notes  to the
consolidated financial statements.

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

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation
     The  consolidated   financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  NASB
Financial,  Inc. (the "Company"),  its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  North American
Savings Bank,  F.S.B.  (the  "Bank"),  and the Bank's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,
Nor-Am Service Corporation. All significant inter-company transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
     Cash and cash  equivalents  consist  of cash on hand plus  interest-bearing
deposits in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines  totaling  $1.6 million and
$7.3 million as of September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities Available for Sale
     Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the
positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.  Debt securities
not  classified  as held to maturity or trading are  classified as available for
sale. As of September 30, 2000, and 1999,  the Company had no assets  designated
as trading.  Securities and mortgage-backed  securities  classified as available
for sale are recorded at their fair values,  with  unrealized  gains and losses,
net of income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

     Premiums and discounts are  recognized as  adjustments  to interest  income
over the life of the securities using a method that approximates the level yield
method.  Gains or  losses  on the  disposition  of  securities  are based on the
specific  identification  method. Market prices are obtained from broker-dealers
and reflect estimated offer prices.

     To the extent  management  determines  a decline in value in a security  or
mortgage-backed security available for sale to be other than temporary, the Bank
will include such expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Held to Maturity
     Mortgage-backed  securities  held to maturity are stated at cost,  adjusted
for amortization of premiums and discounts,  which are recognized as adjustments
to interest income over the life of the securities using the level-yield method.

     To the extent management determines a decline in value in a mortgage-backed
security  held to maturity to be other than  temporary,  the Company will adjust
the carrying  value and include such expense in the  consolidated  statements of
income.

Loans Receivable Held for Sale
     Loans  receivable  held for sale consist of loans that  management does not
intend to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity.  Accordingly,  such
loans are carried at the lower of amortized cost (outstanding  principal balance
adjusted for deferred  loan fees and costs) or market  value.  Market values for
such loans are determined based on sale commitments or dealer quotations.  Gains
or losses on such sales are recognized using the specific identification method.
Interest,  including amortization and accretion of deferred loan fees and costs,
is included in interest income.

Loans Receivable Held for Investment, Net
     Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid  principal  less an allowance  for
loan losses, undisbursed loan funds and unearned discounts and loan fees, net of
certain direct loan origination  costs.  Interest on loans is credited to income
as earned and accrued  only when it is deemed  collectible.  Loans are placed on
nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection
of principal or interest is in doubt. As a general rule, the accrual of interest
is discontinued when principal or interest payments become doubtful. When a loan
is placed on  nonaccrual  status,  previously  accrued  but unpaid  interest  is
reversed against current income.  Subsequent  collections of cash may be applied
as  reductions  to the  principal  balance,  interest  in arrears or recorded as
income, depending on Bank management's assessment of the ultimate collectibility
of the loan.  Nonaccrual  loans may be restored to accrual status when principal
and interest  become  current and the full payment of principal  and interest is
expected.

Deferred Loan Origination Fees and Costs
     Net loan fees and direct loan origination  costs are deferred and amortized
to interest income using the level-yield method over the life of the loan.

<PAGE>

Provisions for Loan Losses
     The Bank considers a loan to be impaired when  management  believes it will
be unable to collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual
terms of the loan.  If a loan is  impaired,  the Bank  records a loss  valuation
equal to the excess of the loan's  carrying  value over the present value of the
estimated future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate based on the
loan's  observable  market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan
is collateral dependent. One-to-four family residential loans and consumer loans
are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Loans on residential properties with
greater than four units,  on  construction  and  development  properties  and on
commercial  properties are evaluated for impairment on a loan by loan basis. The
allowance  for loan losses is  increased  by charges to income and  decreased by
charge-offs  (net  of  recoveries).  Management's  periodic  evaluation  of  the
adequacy  of the  allowance  is based on the Bank's  past loan loss  experience,
known and inherent risks in the portfolio,  adverse  situations  that may affect
the  borrower's  ability  to  repay,  the  estimated  value  of  any  underlying
collateral,  and current  economic  conditions.  Assessing  the  adequacy of the
allowance  for loan  losses  is  inherently  subjective  as it  requires  making
material  estimates,  including  the  amount  and  timing of future  cash  flows
expected  to  be  received  on  impaired  loans,  that  may  be  susceptible  to
significant  change.  In management's  opinion,  the allowance,  when taken as a
whole,  is adequate to absorb  reasonable  estimated loan losses inherent in the
Bank's loan portfolio.

Real Estate Owned
     Real  estate  owned  represents  foreclosed  assets  held  for  sale and is
initially  recorded  at fair  value  as of the  date  of  foreclosure  less  any
estimated  disposal costs (the "new basis") and is  subsequently  carried at the
lower  of the  new  basis  or fair  value  less  selling  costs  on the  current
measurement  date.  Adjustments  for estimated  losses are charged to operations
when the fair value  declines to an amount less than the carrying  value.  Costs
and expenses related to major additions and improvements are capitalized,  while
maintenance  and  repairs  that  do not  improve  or  extend  the  lives  of the
respective assets are expensed.  Applicable gains and losses on the sale of real
estate owned are recognized when the asset is disposed depending on the adequacy
of the down payment and other requirements.

Premises and Equipment
     Premises and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation  of premises and equipment is provided  over the  estimated  useful
lives of the  respective  assets (three to forty years) using the  straight-line
method.  Maintenance  and repairs are charged to  expense.  Major  renewals  and
improvements are  capitalized.  Gains and losses on dispositions are credited or
charged to earnings as incurred.

Income Taxes
     The  Company  files a  consolidated  Federal  income  tax  return  with its
subsidiaries using the accrual method of accounting.

     The  provision for deferred  income taxes is based on the liability  method
and represents the change in the  consolidated  deferred income tax liability or
asset during the year. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in
the carrying values of various assets and  liabilities  for financial  reporting
and income tax purposes.  Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recorded at the
tax rate  that  will be in  effect  at the time the  temporary  differences  are
expected to reverse.

     As a result of  changes  in the  Federal  tax  code,  the  Bank's  bad debt
deduction  for the year  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,  was based on the
specific charge off method.  The percentage  method for additions to the tax bad
debt reserve was used prior to the fiscal year ended  September 30, 1997.  Under
the current tax rules, Banks are required to recapture their accumulated tax bad
debt reserve,  except for the portion that was  established  prior to 1988,  the
"base-year."  The  recapture  of the excess  reserve  will be  completed  over a
six-year  phase-in-period  beginning  with the fiscal year ended  September  30,
1999. A deferred income tax liability is required to the extent the tax bad debt
reserve  exceeds  the  1988  base  year  amount.   Retained   earnings   include
approximately  $2  million  representing  such bad  debt  reserve  for  which no
deferred taxes have been provided.  Distributing  the Bank's capital in the form
of stock  redemptions  has caused the Bank to recapture a significant  amount of
its bad debt reserve prior to the phase-in period.

Mortgage Servicing Rights
     Servicing  assets and other retained  interests in  transferred  assets are
measured by allocating the previous  carrying amount between the assets sold, if
any, and retained  interest,  if any, based on their relative fair values at the
date of the transfer,  and servicing  assets and  liabilities  are  subsequently
measured by (1)  amortization  in proportion to and over the period of estimated
net  servicing  income  or loss,  and (2)  assessment  for asset  impairment  or
increased obligation based on their fair values.

<PAGE>

     Originated  mortgage  servicing  rights are recorded at cost based upon the
relative fair values of the loans and the servicing  rights.  Servicing  release
fees paid on comparable  loans and  discounted  cash flows are used to determine
estimates of fair values.  Purchased mortgage servicing rights are acquired from
independent  third-party  originators  and are  recorded at the lower of cost or
fair value.  These rights are  amortized in proportion to and over the period of
expected net servicing income or loss.

     Impairment   Evaluation  -  The  Bank   evaluates  the  carrying  value  of
capitalized  mortgage  servicing  rights  on a  periodic  basis  based  on their
estimated  fair value.  For purposes of evaluating  and measuring  impairment of
capitalized  servicing  rights,  the Bank  stratifies  the rights based on their
predominant  risk   characteristics.   The  significant   risk   characteristics
considered by the Bank are loan type,  period of origination and stated interest
rate. If the fair value estimated, using a discounted cash flow methodology,  is
less than the carrying amount of the portfolio, the portfolio is written down to
the  amount  of  the  discounted  expected  cash  flows  utilizing  a  valuation
allowance.  The  Bank  utilizes  consensus  market  prepayment  assumptions  and
discount rates to evaluate its capitalized servicing rights, which considers the
risk  characteristics of the underlying  servicing rights. A valuation allowance
of $651,000 was established  during the period ended September 30, 1998.  During
the year ended  September  30, 1999,  the value of servicing  rights  increased,
which resulted in a recovery of the valuation allowance of $118,000.  During the
year ended September 30, 2000, the Bank recognized a net impairment of $164,000.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
     In March 1998,  the  American  Institute of  Certified  Public  Accountants
("AICPA") issued  Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1,  "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software  Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1 provides
guidance  on  accounting  for the costs of  internal  use  computer  software at
various stages of development.  The adoption of this SOP on October 1, 1999, did
not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as
of and for the year ended September 30, 2000.

     In June 1998,  the FASB  issued SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." As amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 133" and SFAS No. 138,  "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging  Activities,  an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133,"  the  Statement   establishes   accounting  and  reporting  standards  for
derivative  instruments  including certain  derivative  instruments  embedded in
other  contracts   (collectively   referred  to  as  derivatives)   and  hedging
activities.  The Statement  requires an entity to recognize all  derivatives  as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial  position and measure
those  instruments at fair value. The Statements are effective for the Company's
consolidated  financial  statements  on October 1, 2000. As the Company does not
hold any derivatives or embedded  derivatives as defined by the Statements,  the
adoption of the  Statements  on October 1, 2000,  did not result in a transition
adjustment.

     In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes the SEC's view
on applying  GAAP to revenue  recognition  in financial  statements.  Due to the
issuance  of SAB No.  101B,  SAB No. 101 must be  implemented  no later than the
fourth fiscal  quarter of the Company's  fiscal year ending  September 30, 2001.
The Company does not believe that the  implementation of SAB No. 101 will have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140,  "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments  of  Liabilities."  This
Statement  replaces  SFAS No. 125,  "Accounting  for  Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and  Extinguishment  of Liabilities" and rescinds SFAS No. 127,
"Deferral of Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125." It
revises the standards for accounting for  securitizations and other transfers of
financial assets and  extinguishments of liabilities.  Those standards are based
on consistent  application  of a  financial-components  approach that focuses on
control.  This  Statement is effective  for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and  extinguishments of liabilities  occurring after March 31, 2001. This
Statement is effective for  recognition and  reclassification  of collateral and
for  disclosures  relating to  securitization  transactions  and  collateral for
fiscal years ending after  December 15, 2000.  The Company does not believe that
the  implementation  of  this  Statement  will  have a  material  effect  on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates
     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in accordance  with  accounting
principles  generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires
management to make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the amounts of assets
and liabilities,  the disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities,  and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Estimates
were used to  establish  loss  reserves,  the  valuation  of mortgage  servicing
rights,  and fair values of financial  instruments.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

<PAGE>

Reclassifications
     Certain amounts for 1999 and 1998 have been  reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     SFAS No.  107,  "Disclosure  about  Fair Value of  Financial  Instruments,"
requires  the  Company  to  disclose  fair  value  information  about  financial
instruments  for which it is practicable  to estimate,  whether or not such fair
values are reflected in the  consolidated  balance sheets.  Estimated fair value
amounts have been determined using available market  information and a selection
from a variety of valuation  methodologies.  However,  considerable  judgment is
required to interpret  market data in  developing  the  estimates of fair value.
Accordingly,  the  estimates  presented  are not  necessarily  indicative of the
amount that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different
market  assumptions and estimation  methodologies  may have a material effect on
the estimated fair value amounts.

     The following  methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial  instrument  presented  as of September  30, 2000 and
1999:

Cash and cash equivalents
     The  carrying  amount  reported  in the  consolidated  balance  sheets is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities available for sale
     Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available.

Mortgage-backed securities available for sale and held to maturity
     Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. When quoted
market  prices  are  unavailable,  fair  values  are  computed  using  consensus
estimates of prepayment speeds and market spreads to treasury securities.

Stock in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")
     The carrying value of stock in Federal Home Loan Bank approximates its fair
value.

Loans receivable held for sale
     Fair  values of  mortgage  loans  held for sale are based on quoted  market
prices for loans with no current  commitment  to sell.  Fair  values of mortgage
loans sold forward are based on the committed prices.

Loans receivable held for investment
     Fair values are computed  for each loan  category  using market  spreads to
treasury securities for similar existing loans in the portfolio and management's
estimates of prepayments.

Accrued interest receivable
     The  carrying  amount  reported  in the  consolidated  balance  sheets is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.

Mortgage servicing rights
     The estimated  fair values of mortgage  servicing  rights are determined by
discounting  estimated  future cash flows  using a market  rate of interest  and
consensus estimates of prepayment speeds.

Customer deposit accounts
     The estimated fair values of demand deposits and savings accounts are equal
to the  amount  payable  on  demand  at  the  reporting  date.  Fair  values  of
certificates  of deposit are  computed at fixed  spreads to treasury  securities
with similar maturities.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
     The  estimated  fair  values  of  advances  from  FHLB  are  determined  by
discounting  the future cash flows of existing  advances  using rates  currently
available for new advances with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Other borrowings
     Fair values are estimated using rates  currently  available to the Bank for
debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

<PAGE>

Accrued interest payable
     The  carrying  amount  reported  in the  consolidated  balance  sheets is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.

Off balance sheet items
     The estimated  fair value of commitments  to originate,  purchase,  or sell
loans is based on the fees  currently  charged to enter into similar  agreements
and the  difference  between  current levels of interest rates and the committed
rates.


(2) STOCK SPLIT, CHANGE IN PAR VALUE, AND CHANGE IN NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES

     On January 26, 1999,  the  stockholders  of the Company  voted to amend the
Company's  Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized common
stock from 3,000,000 to 20,000,000  shares. At the same time,  stockholders also
approved a reduction in the par value of common stock from $1.00 to $0.15.

     On January 27, 1999, the Board of Directors  declared a four-for-one  stock
split. Each stockholder received three additional shares of the Company's common
stock for each share they already owned.  The pay date of the split was March 5,
1999.

     All prior  period  amounts  have been  adjusted for the effect of the stock
split,  change in par value of common stock,  and change in number of authorized
shares of common stock.

     Included in the loans receivable  balances are  participating  interests in
mortgage loans and wholly owned mortgage loans serviced by other institutions of
approximately  $4.4  million and $5.1  million at  September  30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

     Whole  loans and  participations  serviced  for others  were  approximately
$706.7 million and $667.6 million at September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.
Loans  serviced  for others are not  included in the  accompanying  consolidated
balance sheets.

     First  mortgage loans were pledged to secure FHLB advances in the amount of
approximately  $330.5 million and $210.1 million at September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

     Aggregate  loans to executive  officers,  directors  and their  associates,
including  companies  in which they have  partial  ownership  interest,  did not
exceed 5% of equity as of  September  30,  2000 and 1999.  Such  loans were made
under terms and conditions  substantially  the same as loans made to parties not
affiliated with the Bank.

     As of  September  30,  2000 and 1999,  loans  with an  aggregate  principal
balance of approximately  $4.4 million and $4.1 million,  respectively,  were on
nonaccrual  status.  Gross  interest  income  would have  increased by $264,000,
$248,000  and $236,000 for the years ended  September  30, 2000,  1999 and 1998,
respectively, if the nonaccrual loans had been performing.

     The  following  table  presents the activity in the allowance for losses on
loans for 2000, 1999, and 1998.  Allowance for losses on mortgage loans includes
specific  valuation   allowances  and  valuation   allowances   associated  with
homogenous pools of loans. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

(13) REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

     The Bank is  required  to  maintain  capital in excess of  certain  minimum
requirements  as prescribed  by the Office of Thrift  Supervision  ("0TS").  Any
institution  that fails to meet these minimum  regulatory  capital  requirements
will be subject to action by the regulators  that, if  undertaken,  could have a
direct material  effect on the Bank's  financial  statements.  Under the capital
adequacy  guidelines and the regulatory  framework for prompt corrective action,
the Bank  must  meet  specific  capital  guidelines  that  involve  quantitative
measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities,  and certain off-balance sheet items
as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank's capital amounts
are also subject to qualitative  judgments by the regulators  about  components,
risk weightings, and other factors.

     Quantitative measures have been established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy  require the Bank to maintain  minimum  capital amounts and ratios (set
forth in the  table  below)  of total  and Tier 1  capital  (as  defined  in the
regulations)  to  risk-weighted  assets (as defined),  and of Tier 1 capital (as
defined) to average  assets (as  defined).  As of September  30, 2000,  the Bank
meets all capital adequacy requirements.

     As of  September  30,  2000,  the  most  recent  notification  from the OTS
categorized the Bank as "well  capitalized"  under the regulatory  framework for
prompt corrective  action. To be categorized as well capitalized,  the Bank must

<PAGE>

maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios
as set forth in the tables presented. Management does not believe that there are
any  conditions or events  occurring  since  notification  that would change the
Bank's  classification.  Also,  management  is  not  aware  of any  existing  or
potential   conditions   that  would   change  the   Bank's   capital   adequacy
classification.

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

(14) EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PLAN

     Substantially all of the Bank's full-time employees participate in a 401(k)
retirement  plan (the "Plan").  The Plan is administered by American United Life
Insurance Company ("AUL"),  through which employees can choose from a variety of
retail mutual funds to invest their fund  contributions.  Under the terms of the
Plan, the Bank makes monthly  contributions  for the benefit of each participant
in an amount that matches  one-half of the  participant's  contribution,  not to
exceed  3%  of  the  participants'  monthly  base  salary,   provided  that  the
participant  makes a monthly  contribution  of at least 1% of his or her monthly
base salary and no greater than 15%. All contributions  made by participants are
immediately vested and cannot be forfeited.  Contributions made by the Bank, and
related earnings thereon,  become vested to the participants according to length
of service  requirements as specified in the Plan. Any forfeited portions of the
contributions  made by the Bank and the allocated  earnings  thereon are used to
reduce future  contribution  requirements of the Bank. The Plan may be modified,
amended or terminated at the discretion of the Bank.

<PAGE>

     The Bank's  contributions to the Plan amounted to $227,000,  $226,000,  and
$195,000 for the years ended September 30, 2000,  1999, and 1998,  respectively.
These amounts have been included as compensation  and fringe benefits expense in
the accompanying consolidated statements of income.



(15) STOCK OPTION PLAN

     The Bank  maintains  a stock  option plan  ("Option  Plan")  through  which
options to purchase up to 10% of the number of shares of common stock originally
issued,  as  adjusted  for the  stock  split  discussed  in Note 2 and the stock
dividends  discussed below,  were granted to officers and employees of the Bank.
Options were granted for a period of ten years. The option price may not be less
than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. As of
September 30, 2000, the time frame for issuing new option  agreements  under the
Option Plan had expired.

     The following  table  summarizes  Option Plan activity  during fiscal 2000,
1999,  and 1998.  The number of shares and price per share have been adjusted to
reflect the four-for-one stock split in fiscal 1999 (Note 2).

     The Company applies  Accounting  Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25 in
accounting  for its  Option  Plan,  under  which no  compensation  cost has been
recognized  for stock option  awards.  For  purposes of computing  the pro forma
effects of stock option grants under the fair value accounting  method, the fair
value of each stock  option  grant was  estimated on the date of the grant using
the  Black-Scholes  option pricing model. Had  compensation  cost for the Option
Plan  been  determined  in  accordance  with the fair  value  accounting  method
prescribed  under  SFAS 123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation,"  the
Company's  net income and net income per share on a pro forma  basis  would have

(17) SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

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

     The  following  table  presents  financial  information  from the Company's
operating  segments  for the years ended  September  30, 2000,  1999,  and 1998.
Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

(18) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

     In the normal  course of  business,  the Bank has  entered  into  financial
agreements  with  off-balance-sheet  risk to meet  the  financing  needs  of its
customers.  These financial  instruments  include  commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit and financial  guarantees.  Those instruments involve,
to varying degrees,  elements of credit risk,  interest rate risk, and liquidity
risk,  which may exceed  the amount  recognized  in the  consolidated  financial
statements.  The  contract  amounts or  notional  amounts  of those  instruments
express  the  extent  of  involvement  the Bank  has in  particular  classes  of
financial instruments.

<PAGE>

     With regard to financial  instruments  for  commitments  to extend  credit,
standby  letters of credit,  and financial  guarantees,  the Bank's  exposure to
credit loss because of  non-performance  by another party is  represented by the
contractual amount of those instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies
in   making   commitments   and   conditional   obligations   as  it  does   for
on-balance-sheet instruments.

     As of September 30, 2000, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate
$18.5  million in  commercial  real estate  loans,  $27.2  million of fixed rate
residential   first  mortgage  loans  and  $10.1  million  of  adjustable   rate
residential  first mortgage loans.  Commercial real estate loan commitments have
approximate  average  committed  rates  of  8.9%.   Residential   mortgage  loan
commitments have an approximate  average  committed rate of 8.6% and approximate
average fees and discounts of 0.7%. The interest rate commitments on residential
loans  generally  expire  60 days  after  the  commitment  date.  Interest  rate
commitments on commercial real estate loans have varying terms to expiration.

     At September 30, 2000 and 1999,  the Bank had  commitments to sell loans of
approximately $53.2 million and $58.3 million,  respectively.  These instruments
contain an element  of risk in the event that other  parties  are unable to meet
the terms of such  agreements.  In such event,  the Bank's loans receivable held
for sale would be exposed to market fluctuations. Management does not expect any
other party to default on its  obligations  and,  therefore,  does not expect to
incur any costs  due to such  possible  default.  Any  unrealized  loss on these
commitment  obligations  is considered in  conjunction  with the Bank's lower of
cost or market valuation on its loans receivable held for sale.


(19) RECONCILIATION OF BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE TO DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic earnings per share is computed  using the weighted  average number of
common  shares  outstanding.  The  dilutive  effect of potential  common  shares
outstanding  are included in diluted  earnings per share.  The  computations  of
basic and diluted  earnings  per share are  presented  in the  following  table.
Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands, except per share data.

     The fair  value  estimates  presented  are based on  pertinent  information
available to management as of September 30, 2000 and 1999.  Although  management
is not aware of any factors that would  significantly  affect the estimated fair
values,  such  amounts  have not been  comprehensively  revalued for purposes of
these  consolidated  financial  statements since that date.  Therefore,  current
estimates  of fair value may differ  significantly  from the  amounts  presented
above.

Independent Auditors' Report
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
NASB Financial, Inc., and Subsidiary

     We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of NASB
Financial,  Inc. and  Subsidiary  (the  "Company")  as of September 30, 2000 and
1999, and the related  consolidated  statements of income,  stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended  September  30,
2000.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally
accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards  require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and  significant  estimates made by  management,  as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  such consolidated  financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30,
2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended  September 30, 2000,  in conformity  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
