                WESTERFED FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION
              The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have
         been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted   accounting
         principles for interim  financial  information and with instructions to
         Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not
         include all of the  information  and  footnotes  required by  generally
         accepted accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.  In
         the opinion of management,  the information  contained  herein reflects
         all  adjustments  necessary to make the results of  operations  for the
         interim  periods  a  fair  statement  of  such  operations.   All  such
         adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the
         three and six month  periods  ended June 30,  2000 are not  necessarily
         indicative of the results  anticipated for the year ending December 31,
         2000. For additional  Company  information,  refer to the  consolidated
         financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto  included  in  WesterFed
         Financial  Corporation's  (the "Company") audited annual report for the
         six months ended December 31, 1999.

2.       CASH EQUIVALENTS
              For purposes of the  Consolidated  Statements  of Cash Flows,  the
         Company   considers  all  cash,   daily   interest   demand   deposits,
         non-interest bearing deposits with banks, and interest bearing deposits
         having  original  maturities  of  three  months  or  less  to  be  cash
         equivalents.

3.       COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE
              Basic  earnings  per common  share is  calculated  by dividing net
         income by the  weighted  average  number of common  shares  outstanding
         during  the period  less  unvested  RRP and  unallocated  ESOP  shares.
         Diluted  earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income
         by the weighted  average  number of common shares used to compute basic
         earnings  per share plus the  incremental  amount of  potential  common
         stock determined by the treasury stock method.

         The  following  table sets forth the  computation  of basic and diluted
         earnings per share:

         2000 and June 30, 1999 were  outstanding,  but were not included in the
         computation of diluted earnings per share because the options= exercise
         price was greater than the average  market  price of the common  shares
         and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

1.       FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

              When used in this Form 10-Q or future  filings made by the Company
         with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  in the Company's  press
         releases  or  other  public  shareholder  communications,  or  in  oral
         statements made with the approval of an authorized  executive  officer,
         the words or phrases  "will likely  result,"  "are  expected to," "will
         continue,"   "is   anticipated,"   "estimate,"   "project"  or  similar
         expressions  are  intended  to  identify  "forward-looking  statements"
         within the meaning of the Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of
         1995. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance
         on any  forward-looking  statements,  which  speak  only as of the date
         made, and to advise readers that various factors including regional and
         national  economic  conditions,  changes  in levels of market  interest
         rates,   credit  risks  of  lending   activities  and  competitive  and
         regulatory  factors could affect Western  Security  Bank's (the "Bank")
         financial  performance and could cause the Company's actual results for
         future  periods  to  differ   materially  from  those   anticipated  or
         projected.

              The Company does not undertake,  and specifically  disclaims,  any
         obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be
         made to any  forward-looking  statements  to reflect the  occurrence of
         anticipated or unanticipated  events or circumstances after the date of
         such statements.

2.       CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION. COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTH PERIOD FROM
         DECEMBER 31, 1999 TO JUNE 30, 2000.

              General - Total assets  decreased  $55.3 million to $945.7 million
         at June 30, 2000 from $1.001 billion at December 31, 1999. The decrease
         in assets was primarily the result of decreases in loans receivable and
         loans  available-for-sale  of $1.9 million, and decreases in investment
         securities,  Federal  Home Loan Bank of  Seattle  (FHLB)  stock and all
         other  interest  earning  assets  of  $51.6  million.   Total  deposits
         decreased $51.8 million while repurchase  agreements and borrowed funds
         decreased $4.7 million and stockholders' equity decreased $931,000.  In
         May  2000,  the Bank  completed  the sale of six  branches  in  eastern
         Montana  that  resulted in the sale of $50.5  million of  deposits  and
         $12.2 million of loans with a resulting net gain on sale of branches of
         $1.9 million.

              Loans Receivable and Loans  Available-for-Sale  - Loans receivable
         and loans  available-for-sale  decreased $1.9 million to $618.9 million
         at June 30, 2000 from $620.8  million at December  31,  1999.  The $1.9
         million  decrease in loans was  primarily  comprised  of  decreases  in
         residential  loans of $5.0 million and consumer dealer finance loans of
         $14.2  million,  while other  consumer  related  loans  increased  $5.5
         million and commercial and  agriculture  loans increased $12.4 million.
         The decrease in loans  receivable was primarily the result of principal
         repayments of $118.0  million and the sale of loans  available-for-sale
         of $23.2  million,  partially  offset  by loan  originations  of $139.8
         million.  Because of the  interest  rate risk  incurred  with long term
         lending  associated with  fixed-rate  one-to four family loans (usually
         thirty year),  the Bank  currently  sells a substantial  portion of the
         thirty year loans and reinvests the proceeds in stock repurchases, debt
         reduction and other types of loans and investments.

              Investment  Securities,  FHLB  Stock  and Other  Interest  Earning
         Assets - Investment  securities,  FHLB stock and other interest earning
         assets  decreased $51.6 million to $252.1 million at June 30, 2000 from
         $303.7  million at December 31, 1999.  The $51.6  million  decrease was
         primarily  the  result  of the  sale of  $47.6  million  of  investment
         securities available-for-sale. Proceeds from

                                     - 11 -

<PAGE>

         investment  sales were used to pay down FHLB  advances  that funded the
         sale of Bank branches during the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

              Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible - Goodwill is being amortized
         over 25 years,  or  approximately  $666,000 per year.  The core deposit
         intangible  is amortized  on an  accelerated  basis over its  estimated
         economic  life of seven years,  or  approximately  $299,700 for the six
         months ending June 30, 2000.

              From time to time,  the Bank,  the  regulated  thrift  institution
         subsidiary of the Company,  may, in order to reduce interest rate risk,
         purchase   financial   instruments   that  lock  in  a  spread  between
         interest-earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities.  While these
         types of financial  instruments limit risk, they also reduce the Bank's
         ability to maximize  profits during periods of favorable  interest rate
         trends.

              The   Bank  may  be  a  party  to   financial   instruments   with
         off-balance-sheet  risk in the normal  course of business to reduce its
         own  exposure  to  fluctuations  in  interest  rates.  These  financial
         instruments  may  include  interest  rate cap and  interest  rate  swap
         agreements.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
         credit and interest  rate risk in excess of amounts  recognized  in the
         consolidated  balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these
         instruments   reflect  the  extent  of  involvement  the  Bank  has  in
         particular classes of financial instruments.  For interest rate cap and
         interest rate swap agreements,  the contract or notional amounts do not
         represent exposure to credit loss. The Bank controls the credit risk of
         those  instruments  through  credit  approval,  limits  and  monitoring
         procedures.

              Interest  Rate  Caps -  Interest  rate  caps  entitle  the Bank to
         receive various interest payments in exchange for payment of a premium,
         provided the  three-month  LIBOR exceeds an agreed upon interest  rate.
         Transaction  fees paid in connection  with interest rate cap agreements
         are amortized to interest expense as an adjustment of the interest cost
         of liabilities.  Because the Bank receives various interest payments if
         the  three-month  LIBOR exceeds the agreed upon interest rate, the Bank
         is generally at risk to the extent of the  unamortized  premium paid if
         the six-month  LIBOR does not exceed the agreed upon interest  rate. At
         June 30, 2000, the amount of the  unamortized  premiums paid related to
         the  interest  rate cap  transactions  was  $1,900.  Interest  rate cap
         agreements  are used to  manage  interest  rate  risk by  synthetically
         extending the life of interest-bearing liabilities.

         The following  summarizes  interest rate cap agreements  outstanding at
         June 30, 2000:

        Notional principal             Agreement
              Amount                  Termination             Cap Rate
     ------------------------    ---------------------     ----------------
              $5,000                   July, 2000               6.0%


              The counter  party to the interest  rate cap  agreement is Merrill
         Lynch. The agreement is not collateralized.

              Interest  Rate Swaps - At June 30,  2000 the Bank did not have any
         interest rate swap agreements in place.

              At June 30, 2000 the Bank had no structured notes.

              Deposits - Deposits  decreased  $51.8 million to $606.6 million at
         June 30, 2000 from $658.4 million at December 31, 1999,  primarily as a
         result of the sale of $50.5 million of deposits  related to the sale of
         six branches.

              Borrowed  Funds and  Repurchase  Agreements  - Borrowed  funds and
         repurchase  agreements decreased $4.7 million to $230.1 million at June
         30,  2000 from  $234.8  million at December  31,  1999.  There were new
         borrowings of $732.8 million with maturities of less than one year. The
         increase  in new  borrowings  was offset by  principal  repayments  and
         maturities of $737.5  million.  The majority of the borrowing  activity
         has been for  periods  of less than  sixty  days to enable  the Bank to
         borrow at the lowest cost possible to fund loan demand.

              Stockholders'  Equity - Stockholders' equity decreased $931,000 to
         $88.6 million at June 30, 2000 from $89.5 million at December 31, 1999.
         This  decrease was due to the  repurchase  of 283,000  shares of common
         stock at an  average  price of  $14.23  per  share  for a total of $4.0
         million.  This  decrease  was  partially  offset by increases in equity
         resulting  from net  income for the six month  period of $3.9  million,
         $189,000  related to contributions to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan
         and shares earned and issued under the  Recognition and Retention Plan,
         and the issuance of 16,400 new common  shares with a recorded  value of
         $167,000 related to exercised stock options.  Stockholders-  equity was
         also reduced $1.3 million for dividends  declared  during the six month
         period.  Stockholders'  equity increased $161,000 related to the change
         in   unrealized   losses   associated   with   assets   classified   as
         available-for-sale  being  adjusted to market value in accordance  with
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115.

         General - Net income increased $278,000,  or 15.8%, to $2.0 million for
     the quarter  ended June 30,  2000 as compared to $1.8  million for the same
     period last year.  Net interest  income  before  provision  for loan losses
     decreased  $558,000 and the  provision  for loan losses  increased  $5,000.
     Non-interest  income increased $506,000 and non-interest  expense decreased
     $550,000. Income tax expense increased $215,000. There was approximately an
     $800,000 net increase to  non-interest  income related to $1.9 million gain
     on the  sale  of  branches  and  $1.1  million  in  losses  on the  sale of
     investment securities  available-for-sale,  both non-recurring,  during the
     quarter ended June 30, 2000. The net interest  margin (net interest  income
     divided by average  interest-earning  assets) decreased to 3.27% during the
     quarter  ended June 30,  2000 from 3.46%  during the same period last year.
     The interest rate spread decreased to 3.06% at June 30, 2000 as compared to
     3.28% at June 30, 1999.

         Interest Income - Interest income  increased  $351,000 to $17.8 million
     for the three month period  ended June 30, 2000 from $17.5  million for the
     same period last year.  The  increase  was the result of an increase in the
     average  yield on  average  interest  earning  assets to 7.81%  during  the
     quarter  ended June 30,  2000 from 7.54%  during the same period last year,
     partially  offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest  earning
     assets of $14.0 million to $912.9 million during the three month ended June
     30, 2000 from $926.9 million during the same period last year.

         Interest earned on loans receivable decreased $106,000 due primarily to
     a $14.3  million  decrease in the average  balance of loans  receivable  to
     $625.5  million  during the three  month  period  ended June 30,  2000 from
     $639.8  million for the same period last year.  The average  yield on loans
     receivable  increased to 8.32% during the three month period ended June 30,
     2000 from 8.20% during the same period last year.

         Interest earned on investment securities, FHLB stock and other interest
     earning assets increased $457,000.  The average balance of these securities
     increased  $152,000 to $287.3 million during the three month ended June 30,
     2000 from $287.2  million  during the same  period  last year.  The average
     yield  increased to 6.70% during the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from 6.06%
     during the same period last year.

         Interest Expense - Total interest expense  increased  $909,000 to $10.4
     million for the three month  period  ended June 30, 2000 from $9.4  million
     for the same  period  last year.  Interest  expense on  deposits  increased
     $354,000 due to an increase in interest  rates paid on deposits  during the
     quarter  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the same period last year.  The
     average  balance of  deposits  decreased  $18.9  million to $624.6  million
     during the three  month  period  ended June 30,  2000 from  $643.5  million
     during the same period last year.  The average rate paid increased to 4.17%
     during  the three  month  ended June 30,  2000 from  3.83%  during the same
     period last year. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $555,000 due
     to an increase in the average  rate paid on borrowed  funds to 6.23% during
     the  quarter  ended June 30,  2000 from 5.41%  during the same  period last
     year.  The average  balance of borrowed  funds  increased  $4.0  million to
     $246.6  million for the three month  period ended June 30, 2000 from $242.6
     million during the same period last year.

         Provisions  for Loan Losses - The provision  for loan losses  increased
     $5,000 to  $450,000  for the three  month  period  ended  June 30,  2000 as
     compared  to a  $445,000  provision  for the same  period  last  year.  The
     increased  provision for loan losses is primarily related to charge-offs in
     consumer loans and management's  goal to change the composition of the loan
     portfolio by reducing the amount of fixed-rate long term residential  loans
     held in portfolio  while  attempting to increase the amount of consumer and
     commercial  loans held in portfolio,  which have inherently  greater credit
     risk than residential loans.

         The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount
     to be added to the  allowance  for loan losses after net  charge-offs  have
     been  deducted  to bring  the  allowance  to a level  which  is  considered
     adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles.  At June 30, 2000 the Company had
     $2.9 million of non-performing  assets (representing 0.31% of total assets)
     as compared to $3.1  million at December  31, 1999  (representing  0.31% of
     total  assets) and $2.7  million at March 31, 2000  (representing  0.27% of
     total  assets).  At June 30,  2000 the Company  had an  allowance  for loan
     losses to non-performing assets of 196.9% as compared to 165.4% at December
     31,  1999 and  201.9% at March 31,  2000.  Management-s  evaluation  of the
     adequacy of its loan loss reserves, the quality and composition of the loan
     portfolio  and  economic  conditions  in Montana  resulted in the  $450,000
     provision  for  loan  losses  for  the  quarter.  Future  additions  to the
     Company's  allowance for loan losses and any change in the related ratio of
     the allowance for loan losses to  non-performing  loans are dependent  upon
     the  performance  and  composition  of the Company's  loan  portfolio,  the
     economy,  inflation,  changes in real estate values and interest  rates and
     the view of the regulatory  authorities toward adequate reserve levels. For
     additional information, see "Non-Performing Assets."

         Total non-interest income increased $506,000 to $3.0 million during the
     quarter  ended June 30, 2000 from $2.5 million  during the same period last
     year.  There was  approximately  an $800,000 net  increase to  non-interest
     income  related  to $1.9  million  gain on the  sale of  branches  and $1.1
     million in losses on the sale of investment securities  available-for-sale,
     both  non-recurring,  during the quarter ended June 30, 2000.  Non-interest
     income for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 included  $314,000 from the sale
     of the Bank's credit card program,  life insurance proceeds and the sale of
     a building,  reduced by the write down of purchased  servicing values. Loan
     origination income decreased $368,000 while service fees increased $327,000
     for the  quarter  ended June 30,  2000 as  compared to the same period last
     year. The decrease in loan  origination  income was the result of continued
     interest  rate  increases  during the current  year as compared to a mostly
     declining,  or stable interest rate environment during the same period last
     year. The increase in interest rates resulted in lower volumes of refinance
     activity on  residential  loans  during the quarter  ended June 30, 2000 as
     compared to the same period last year.

         Non-interest  expenses decreased $550,000, or 7.6%, to $6.7 million for
     the quarter ended June 30, 2000, down from $7.3 million for the same period
     last year. Included in non-interest  expense for the quarter ended June 30,
     2000 were $687,000 of additional expenses of which $250,000 were related to
     compensation  and  employee  benefits,  $269,000  related to net  occupancy
     expense of premises,  $58,000  related to equipment and  furnishings,,  and
     $110,000  of other  expenses.  Included  in  non-interest  expense  for the
     quarter  ended June 30, 1999 was $575,000  related to payment of retirement
     incentives and other non-recurring expenses.

         Income  Taxes  -  Income  tax  expense  increased  $215,000  due to the
     $493,000 increase in income before income taxes.

         General - Net income increased $554,000,  or 16.6%, to $3.9 million for
     the six month  period  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $3.3  million for
     the same period last year.  Net interest  income before  provision for loan
     losses  decreased  $524,000  and the  provision  for loan losses  increased
     $110,000.  Non-interest income increased $374,000 and non-interest  expense
     decreased $1.3 million.  Income tax expense increased  $501,000.  There was
     approximately  an $800,000 net increase to  non-interest  income related to
     $1.9 million gain on the sale of branches and $1.1 million in losses on the
     sale  of  investment  securities  available-for-sale,  both  non-recurring,
     during the six month period ended June 30,  2000.  The net interest  margin
     (net interest income divided by average  interest-earning assets) decreased
     to 3.31%  during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from 3.42% during
     the same period last year.  The interest rate spread  decreased to 3.10% at
     June 30, 2000 as compared to 3.22% at June 30, 1999.

         Interest Income - Interest income  increased  $929,000 to $35.5 million
     for the six month  period  ended June 30,  2000 from $34.6  million for the
     same period last year.  The  increase  was the result of an increase in the
     average yield on average  interest  earning  assets to 7.72% during the six
     month  period  ended June 30,  2000 from 7.52%  during the same period last
     year,  as well as an increase in the  average  balance of interest  earning
     assets of $703,000 to $919.7 million during the six month period ended June
     30, 2000 from $919.0 million during the same period last year.

         Interest earned on loans receivable decreased $278,000 due primarily to
     a $12.7  million  decrease in the average  balance of loans  receivable  to
     $624.1  million during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from $636.8
     million  for the  same  period  last  year.  The  average  yield  on  loans
     receivable  increased  to 8.28%  during the six month period ended June 30,
     2000 from 8.20% during the same period last year.

         Interest earned on investment securities, FHLB stock and other interest
     earning assets  increased $1.2 million  primarily due to an increase in the
     average  balance of these  securities  of $13.4  million to $295.6  million
     during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from $282.2  million during
     the same period last year. The average yield  increased to 6.53% during the
     six month period ended June 30, 2000 from 5.99% during the same period last
     year.

         Interest  Expense - Total  interest  expense  increased $1.5 million to
     $20.3  million  for the six month  period  ended  June 30,  2000 from $18.8
     million  for the same  period  last  year.  Interest  expense  on  deposits
     increased  $500,000  due to an increase in interest  rates paid on deposits
     during the six month  period  ended June 30,  2000 as  compared to the same
     period last year. The average balance of deposits decreased $4.8 million to
     $638.6  million during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from $643.4
     million  during the same period last year.  The average rate paid increased
     to 4.07%  during the six month  ended June 30,  2000 from 3.89%  during the
     same  period  last year.  Interest  expense  on  borrowed  funds  increased
     $953,000 due to an increase in the average  rate paid on borrowed  funds to
     6.06% during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from 5.44% during the
     same period last year. The average balance of borrowed funds increased $7.5
     million to $239.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from
     $232.2 million during the same period last year.

         Provisions  for Loan Losses - The provision  for loan losses  increased
     $110,000  to  $900,000  for the six month  period  ended  June 30,  2000 as
     compared to a $790,000 provision for the same period last year.

              Non-interest  income increased $374,000 to $4.8 million during the
     six-month  period  ended June 30,  2000 from $4.4  million  during the same
     period  last  year.  The  $374,000  increase  resulted  primarily  from the
     non-recurring $800,000 net gain on sale of branches and net loss on sale of
     investment

     securities and a $444,000  increase in service fees,  partially offset by a
     $652,000 decrease in loan origination  income. The increasing interest rate
     environment that existed during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 as
     compared to the lower interest rate environment during the same period last
     year resulted in reduced loan refinance  activity.  Loans sold decreased to
     $23.2 million  during the six-month  period ended June 30, 2000 as compared
     to $38.5 million during the same period last year. Seasonal fluctuations in
     loan volume and a decline in loan volume due to  increased  interest  rates
     could continue to adversely  affect  origination  fees and gains on sale of
     loans available-for-sale.

               Non-interest  expense  decreased $1.3 million,  or 9.2%, to $12.8
     million  during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 from $14.1 million
     during  the same  period  last year.  Compensation  and  employee  benefits
     decreased  $895,000  and  other  operating  expenses  decreased   $404,000.
     Compensation and employee  benefits for the six month period ended June 30,
     1999 included  $575,000 related to payment of early  retirement  incentives
     and other  compensation not incurred during the six month period ended June
     30, 2000.

         Income  Taxes - Income tax expense  increased  $501,000 due to the $1.1
     million  increase  in  income  before  income  taxes and  non-taxable  life
     insurance  proceeds of $138,000  included in the six-months  ended June 30,
     1999.

Loan Quality -- The  following  table sets forth the amounts and  categories  of
non-performing  assets in the  Company's  loan  portfolio.  At June 30, 2000 and
December  31,  1999 the  Company  did not have any loans  termed  troubled  debt
restructuring which involved forgiving a portion of interest or principal on any
loans or making loans at a rate  materially  less than market rates.  Foreclosed
assets include assets  acquired in settlement of loans,  and are recorded at the
lower of the related loan balance, less any specific allowance for loss, or fair
value at the date of foreclosure less estimated disposal costs.

Non-Performing  Assets - Total non-performing  assets decreased $185,000 to $2.9
million at June 30, 2000 from $3.1 million at December  31,  1999.  The $185,000
decrease  in  non-performing  assets  was  primarily  the  result of a  $370,000
decrease in non-performing construction, commercial and agriculture loans. Total
non-performing  assets as a percentage of total assets  remained stable to 0.31%
at June 30, 2000 as compared to 0.31% at December  31,  1999.  The 0.31% is less
than the national composite for thrifts non-performing assets as a percentage of
assets of 0.61% at March 31, 2000, which is the latest available  information as
reported by the Office of Thrift Supervision.  In addition to the non-performing
loans and  foreclosed  assets set forth in the preceding  table,  as of June 30,
2000,  there were no other loans identified by the Company with respect to which
information  known about the possible credit problems of the borrowers or of the
cash  flows of the  security  properties  have  caused  management  to have some
concerns  as to the  ability  of the  borrowers  to  comply  with  present  loan
repayment  terms and which may result in the future  inclusion  of such items in
the non-performing asset categories.

  six months ended December 31, 1999.

  The  Office of Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS")  has  established  guidelines  for
  determining  the level of interest rate risk for an OTS regulated  institution
  and has developed an interagency uniform ratings system  establishing  several
  levels of interest rate risk: "minimal", "moderate", "significant," "high" and
  "imminent  threat."  Based on a 200 basis point increase in interest rates the
  Bank's post-shock 6.54% NPV ratio,  representing a 189 basis point change from
  8.43%  pre-shock NPV ratio,  indicates a risk rating of "minimal" for the Bank
  at March 31, 2000,  which is the latest  available  information as reported by
  the OTS.
