Mr. Bob Parker

Overland Park, KS 66210
Dear Bob:
I wanted to write, besides meeting with you personally, to relay that the Board
has decided to make a change with regards to our auditing, accounting and
reporting. We have elected to sign with Baird, Kurtz & Dobson of Kansas City.
After several months of discussion and interviewing, we felt that their firm
could probably serve us better since they have a large concentration of banks
and specifically savings & loans, as their customers. We also weighed their
services as far as dealing and representing public companies.
Bob, I know our relationship has been ongoing for many years and this was a
tough decision for us. We appreciate you and your firm's hard work over the
years, and especially through our recent conversion process. As you are aware,
we have developed a relationship with BDK the past several years for our
compliance consulting/auditing needs, and have been pleased with their people,
service and expertise, with regards to financial institutions.
We hope you can understand our decision and again want to thank you for the
professional treatment we received from your staff over the years. We would
appreciate your consideration in working with Kevin Cook, a partner from BKD,
and assisting him with the transition.
Sincerely
/s/ Mitch Ashlock
Mitch Ashlock
