Item 1.  Description of Business

General

     The Company.  StateFed  Financial  Corporation (the "Company"),  a Delaware
corporation,  was formed in  September,  1993 to act as the holding  company for
State Federal Savings and Loan Association of Des Moines ("State Federal" or the
"Association")  upon the  completion of the  Association's  conversion  from the
mutual to the stock form (the "Conversion").  The Company received approval from
the Office of Thrift  Supervision (the "OTS") to acquire all of the common stock
of the  Association to be outstanding  upon  completion of the  Conversion.  The
Conversion  was  completed  on  January 4, 1994.  Unless the  context  otherwise
requires,  all references to the Company include the Company and the Association
on a consolidated basis.

     At June 30, 1998, the Company had $89.8 million of assets and stockholders'
equity of $16.1 million (or 17.91% of total assets).

     State  Federal  is a  federally  chartered  savings  and  loan  association
headquartered  in Des Moines,  Iowa.  Its deposits are insured up to  applicable
limits  by  the  Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund  of the  Federal  Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), which is backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States.

     The principal  business of the  Association  consists of attracting  retail
deposits  from the  general  public  and  investing  those  funds  primarily  in
one-to-four  family  residential  mortgage and commercial and multi-family  real
estate loans, and, to a lesser extent, construction and consumer loans primarily
in  the  Association's  market  area.  The  Association  also  invests  in  U.S.
Government and agency obligations and other permissible investments. At June 30,
1998,  substantially  all of the  Association's  real estate mortgage loans were
secured by properties located in Iowa.

     The Association's  revenues are derived primarily from interest on mortgage
loans and investments,  income from service charges and loan  originations,  and
income from real estate operations through its service  corporation  subsidiary.
The Association  does not originate  loans to fund leveraged  buyouts and has no
loans to foreign corporations or governments.

     The  Association  offers a  variety  of  accounts  having  a wide  range of
interest rates and terms. The Association's  deposits include passbook accounts,
money market savings accounts,  NOW and certificate accounts with terms of three
months to 60 months.  Currently,  the Association only solicits  deposits in its
primary market area and does not accept brokered deposits,  although  management
may on occasion accept brokered  deposits in the future as market conditions may
dictate.

     The main  office of the  Association  is located at 519 Sixth  Avenue,  Des
Moines,  Iowa,  which is located in Polk County.  Its  telephone  number at that
address is (515)  282-0236.  The  Association  maintains one other office in Des
Moines,  Iowa.  The  Association  considers its primary  market area to comprise
parts of Polk, Dallas and Warren Counties.

Forward-Looking Statements

     When used in this Form 10-KSB and in future filings by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC"), in the Company's press releases
or other public or shareholder communications,  and 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. Such statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties,  including, among other things, changes in economic conditions in
the  Company's  market  area,  changes  in  policies  by  regulatory   agencies,
fluctuations  in interest rates,  demand for loans in the Company's  market area
and  competition,  that could cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from
historical  earnings and those presently  anticipated or projected.  The Company
wishes  to  caution   readers   not  to  place   undue   reliance  on  any  such
forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as of the date made.  The Company
wishes to 

                                        2

<PAGE>


advise  readers  that the  factors  listed  above  could  affect  the  Company's
financial  performance  and could cause the Company's  actual results for future
periods to differ  materially  from any opinions or  statements  expressed  with
respect to future periods in any current statements.

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

Impact of Year 2000

     Much has been written about the potential Year 2000 problems that may arise
with  information   technology   systems.   Many  computer  programs  and  other
technological devices that can only distinguish the final two digits of the year
entered (a common  programming  practice in earlier  years) are expected to read
entries for the year 2000 as the year 1900 and compute  payments,  interest  and
other information  incorrectly or may be unable to function.  Rapid and accurate
data processing is essential to the operation of the Company. Data processing is
also  essential  to most other  financial  institutions  and the  customers  and
suppliers of the Company.

     A  third-party  hardware and software  company  provides the material  data
processing of the Company.  This hardware and software  provider has advised the
Company  that it expects to be Year 2000  compliant  before the end of  calendar
year 1998.  However,  if the hardware and software  provider is unable to become
compliant  with Year 2000 issues,  the Company may experience  significant  data
processing  delays,  mistakes,  or failures.  These delay,  mistakes or failures
could have a significant  adverse impact on the financial  condition and results
of operations of the Company.

     During 1998, the Company, in the normal course of operations, installed new
hardware and software supplied by the third-party data processor. The Company is
conducting tests of the hardware and software for Year 2000 compliance. Based on
the results of these tests and its  evaluation  of other  hardware  and software
used  by the  Company,  including  other  technological  equipment  used  by the
Company, management does not anticipate incurring significant additional expense
to implement additional corrective actions.

     Management  believes that  appropriate  actions have been taken to evaluate
Year 2000 risks and to implement  procedures  necessary to address  those risks.
Management  has also  developed  a  contingency  plan that  outlines  courses of
actions that would be followed should the Company encounter computer  processing
or general operational problems arising from the Year 2000 issue.

Lending Activities

     General.   Historically,   the  Association   has  originated   fixed-rate,
one-to-four family mortgage loans. In the early 1980's, the Association began to
focus on the origination of adjustable-rate  mortgage ("ARM") loans, in order to
increase the percentage of loans in its portfolio  with more frequent  repricing
than fixed-rate mortgage loans. While the Association has continued to originate
fixed-rate  mortgage loans in response to customer demand,  it also continues to
offer ARMs. The Association also, from time to time, purchases loans.

     While the  Association  primarily  focuses  its lending  activities  on the
origination of loans secured by first  mortgages on  owner-occupied  one-to-four
family  residences,  it also originates  multi-family and commercial real estate
and, to a lesser extent,  construction  and consumer loans in its primary market
area.  At June 30, 1998,  the  Association's  net loan  portfolio  totaled $69.0
million.

     The Loan  Committee of the  Association,  comprised  of executive  officers
Golden,  Wood and Black and loan officers Komma and Stravers,  has the immediate
responsibility  for the supervision of the  Association's  loan  portfolio.  The
Association's  loan policy requires full Board approval on all loans.  The Board
relies heavily on the recommendation of CEO Golden in making its decisions.  The
Board  of  Directors  has  responsibility  for the  overall  supervision  of the
Association's loan portfolio and in addition, reviews all foreclosure actions or
the taking of deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure.


                                        3

<PAGE>



     The  aggregate  amount of loans that the  Association  is permitted to make
under  applicable  federal  regulations to any one borrower,  including  related
entities,  or the aggregate  amount that the Association  could have invested in
any one real  estate  project is  generally  the  greater  of 15% of  unimpaired
capital and surplus or $500,000.  See "Regulation  Federal Regulation of Savings
Associations."  At June 30, 1998, the maximum amount which the Association could
have  lent  to  any  one  borrower  and  the  borrower's  related  entities  was
approximately  $1.6  million.  The  principal  balance  of  the  largest  amount
outstanding  to  any  one  borrower,   or  group  of  related   borrowers,   was
approximately $1.5 million at June 30, 1998. Currently,  it is the Association's
general  policy to limit its loans to one  borrower  to the  maximum  regulatory
limit. The Association  reserves the right to discontinue,  adjust or create new
lending programs to respond to its needs and to competitive factors.

     One-to-four   family   Residential   Mortgage  Lending.   Residential  loan
originations of this type are generated by the Company's marketing efforts,  its
present  customers,  walk-in customers and referrals from real estate agents and
builders.  The Company focuses its lending efforts  primarily on the origination
of loans  secured  by first  mortgages  on  owner-occupied,  one-to-four  family
residences.  At June 30, 1998,  the  Company's  one-to-four  family  residential
mortgage loans totaled $44.4 million,  or  approximately  63.4% of the Company's
total gross loan portfolio.

     The Company  currently  offers ARM payment and fixed-rate  mortgage  loans.
During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Association  originated $2.4 million of
adjustable-rate  real estate  loans,  which were secured by  one-to-four  family
residential  real estate.  During the same period,  the Company  originated $8.2
million  of  fixed-rate  real  estate  loans,   secured  by  one-to-four  family
residential real estate. The Company's  one-to-four family residential  mortgage
originations  are  primarily in its market and  surrounding  areas,  and no such
loans were sold during the three year period ended June 30, 1998.

     The Company  currently  originates up to a maximum of 30-year,  fixed-rate,
one-to-four  family  residential  mortgage  loans  in  amounts  up to 90% of the
appraised  value  of  the  security  property  provided  that  private  mortgage
insurance is obtained in an amount  sufficient to reduce the Company's  exposure
to at or below the 80% loan-to-value level. The Company may consider raising the
loan-to-value ratio in the future as regulations permit. Due to consumer demand,
the Company also has offered fixed-rate 10- through 15-year mortgage loans, most
of which conform to secondary market standards (i.e.,  Federal National Mortgage
Association  ("FNMA"),  Government National Mortgage Association  ("GNMA"),  and
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") standards).

     Interest rates charged on these  fixed-rate  loans are priced  according to
market conditions,  although  management does not currently  anticipate offering
rates at the most competitive end of the market.  Residential loans generally do
not include prepayment penalties. As with all loans the Company originates,  the
Company retains its fixed-rate loans in its portfolio.

     The Company also currently offers  primarily  thirty year  amortization ARM
loans with  interest  rate  adjustments  occurring  after  one,  and to a lesser
extent,  three, five and seven year terms with an interest rate margin generally
3.00 basis points over one year  Treasury  rates.  These loans have a fixed-rate
for the stated period and, thereafter, such loans adjust periodically,  pursuant
to the contractual  term. These loans provide for up to a 100 basis point annual
cap and a lifetime cap of 600 basis  points over the initial  rate  although the
bulk of the  Association's  ARMs are  estimated by  management to have 500 basis
point lifetime caps.  Under the current ARM program,  a 500 basis point lifetime
cap is being utilized.  Under the contractual  terms, the majority of such loans
do not adjust  below the  initial  rate.  As a  consequence  of using an initial
fixed-rate  and  caps,  the  interest  rates on these  loans  may not be as rate
sensitive  as is the  Association's  cost of funds.  The  Company's  ARMs do not
permit negative  amortization of principal.  The Association generally qualifies
borrowers above the fully indexed rate.

     In underwriting  one-to-four  family  residential real estate loans,  State
Federal  evaluates,  among other  things,  both the  borrower's  ability to make
monthly  payments  and the value of the property  securing the loan.  Currently,
virtually  all  properties  securing real estate loans made by State Federal are
appraised by independent fee appraisers approved by the Board of Directors or by
in-house  appraisers.  State Federal generally  requires  borrowers to obtain an
attorney's  title  opinion,  and fire and property  insurance  (including  flood
insurance,  if  necessary)  in an amount  not less than the  amount of the loan.
State Federal does not  generally  require  title  insurance.  Real estate loans
originated by the Association  generally contain a "due on sale" clause allowing
the Association to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the
sale of the security property.

     Multi-Family  and  Commercial  Real  Estate  Lending.  The Company has also
engaged in commercial  and  multi-family  real estate lending in its market area
and surrounding  areas and has purchased  participation  interests in such loans
from other financial institutions throughout Iowa. At June 30, 1998, the Company
had $23.1  million of  commercial  and  multi-family  real estate  loans,  which
represented   33.0%  of  the  Company's  gross  loan   portfolio.   All  of  the
Association's  commercial and multi-family  real estate loans were performing in
accordance  with their repayment  terms. A substantial  portion of the Company's
multi-family and commercial real estate loans were secured by properties located
in Iowa. However, the Company had multi-family and commercial real estate loans,
with an 


                                       8
<PAGE>

aggregate  balance of $3.2  million  at June 30,  1998,  secured by real  estate
located in Texas, Colorado, Nebraska and Wisconsin.

     Loans secured by commercial  and  multi-family  real estate  properties are
generally  larger and involve a greater  degree of credit risk than  one-to-four
family  residential  mortgage  loans.  Because  payments  on  loans  secured  by
commercial  real  estate  properties  are  often  dependent  on  the  successful
operation  or  management  of the  properties,  repayment  of such  loans may be
subject to adverse  conditions in the real estate market or the economy.  If the
cash flow from the project is reduced (for  example,  if leases are not obtained
or renewed), the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired.

     The Company's  commercial  and  multi-family  real estate loan portfolio is
secured  primarily  by  apartment  buildings  and,  to a lesser  extent,  office
buildings,   strip  shopping  centers,  motels,  nursing  homes,  and  churches.
Multifamily  and commercial  real estate loans  generally have terms that do not
exceed 30 years. The Company has a variety of rate adjustment features and other
terms in its commercial and multi-family real estate loan portfolio.  Generally,
the loans are made in amounts up to 80% of the  appraised  value of the security
property.  Multi-family  and  commercial  real estate loans provide for a margin
over a designated index which is generally the one-year  Treasury bill rate. The
Company  currently  analyzes  the  financial  condition  of  the  borrower,  the
borrower's  credit history,  and the reliability and  predictability of the cash
flow generated by the property  securing the loan. The Company requires personal
guaranties of the borrowers.  Appraisals on properties  securing commercial real
estate  loans  originated  by  the  Association  are  performed  by  independent
appraisers.

     The following  table breaks out the Company's  commercial loan portfolio by
type of loan.

     Total .....................         $23,115         $20,469         $17,997

     This  portfolio  grew by $2.6 million from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998,  and
the  portfolio  comprised a larger  percentage  in fiscal  1998,  33.0% of total
loans,  than it did in fiscal 1997,  when  commercial  loans  comprised 29.4% of
total loans.

     Construction   Lending.   The  Company   engages  in  limited   amounts  of
construction  lending to individuals for the construction of their residences as
well as to builders for the  construction  of single family homes and commercial
properties in the Company's  primary market area and surrounding  areas. At June
30, 1998, the Company had $1.5 million of gross construction loans.

     Construction loans to individuals for their residences are structured to be
converted  to  permanent  loans  at the  end of the  construction  phase,  which
typically runs for twelve months.  During the  construction  phase, the borrower
pays interest only.  Residential  construction loans are generally  underwritten
pursuant  to the same  guidelines  used for  originating  permanent  residential
loans.

     All construction  loans to builders require payment of interest only for up
to 12 months.  At June 30, 1998,  all of the Company's  construction  loans were
performing in accordance with their repayment terms.

     Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating  construction costs and
the market for the  project  upon  completion,  it is  relatively  difficult  to
evaluate  accurately  the total loan funds  required to complete a project,  the
related  loan-to-value  ratios and the  likelihood  of  ultimate  success of the
project. Construction loans to borrowers other



                                       9

than  owner-occupants  also  involve  many of the  same  risks  discussed  above
regarding  multi-family  and  commercial  real estate  loans and tend to be more
sensitive to general economic  conditions than many other types of loans.  Also,
the funding of loan fees and interest  during the  construction  phase makes the
monitoring of the progress of the project particularly  important,  as customary
early warning signals of project difficulties may not be present.

     Consumer Lending. To a lesser extent, State Federal offers secured consumer
loans,  including  auto loans,  home equity loans,  and loans secured by savings
deposits.  The Association currently originates all of its consumer loans in its
primary market area. The Association originates consumer loans on a direct basis
by extending credit directly to the borrower.

     Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential  mortgage
loans,  particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured.  In such
cases, any repossessed  collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide
an adequate source of repayment of the  outstanding  loan balance as a result of
the greater likelihood of damage,  loss or depreciation.  In addition,  consumer
loan collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability,
and thus are more  likely to be  affected  by  adverse  personal  circumstances.
Furthermore,  the  application  of various  federal  and state  laws,  including
bankruptcy and  insolvency  laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on
such loans.  At June 30, 1998,  none of the loans in the consumer loan portfolio
was non-performing.  There can be no assurance that delinquencies will not occur
in the future.

     The largest component of State Federal's  consumer loan portfolio  consists
of auto loans.  At June 30, 1998, such loans totaled  $765,000 or  approximately
1.09% of the  Association's  gross loan portfolio.  During the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1998, the Association  originated $418,000 in auto loans as compared to
$335,000  originated  in the same period ended June 30, 1997.  At June 30, 1998,
the  Association's  consumer loan portfolio totaled $1.0 million or 1.42% of its
total gross loan portfolio.

     Consumer  loan terms vary  according  to the type and value of  collateral,
length of  contract  and  creditworthiness  of the  borrower.  Loans  secured by
deposit  accounts at the Association  are currently  originated for up to 90% of
the account balance with a hold placed on the account restricting the withdrawal
of the account  balance.  The interest rate on such loans is typically  equal to
200 basis points above the deposit contract rate.

     The underwriting  standards employed by the Association for consumer loans,
other than loans secured by deposits, include an application, a determination of
the  applicant's  payment history on other debts and an assessment of ability to
meet  existing   obligations  and  payments  on  the  proposed  loan.   Although
creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary  consideration,  the underwriting
process also  includes a  comparison  of the value of the  security,  if any, in
relation to the proposed loan amount.

Originations and Purchases of Loans

     Real estate loans are  generally  originated  by State  Federal's  staff of
salaried loan officers.  Loan applications are taken and processed in the office
and the branch of the Association.

     While the Company originates both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans, its
ability to originate  loans is dependent upon the relative  customer  demand for
loans in its market.  Demand is affected by the interest rate  environment.  The
Company is currently a portfolio lender.

     In fiscal 1998, the Company originated $16.5 million of loans,  compared to
$15.3  million  and $16.5  million in fiscal  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The
Company has  experienced  significant  repayments of loans during the last three
fiscal years.  Principal  repayments in fiscal 1998 increased by $5.2 million to
$17.9 million from $12.7 million in fiscal 1997.

     The Company, in recent years, has not purchased mortgage-backed securities.

     In periods of economic uncertainty,  the ability of financial institutions,
including State Federal,  to originate large dollar volumes of real estate loans
may be substantially reduced or restricted, with a resultant decrease in related
loan origination fees, other fee income and operating earnings.

     The  following  table shows the loan  origination,  purchase and  repayment
activities of the Company for the periods indicated.

Non-Performing Assets and Classified Assets

     When a borrower  fails to make a required  payment on real  estate  secured
loans and consumer loans at fifteen days a late charge is automatically assessed
and a notice is sent. At 30 days after the payment is due, the Company generally
institutes  collection  procedures by mailing a delinquency notice. The customer
is contacted again, by notice and/or telephone, when the payment is 60 days past
due. In most cases, delinquencies are cured promptly; however, if a loan secured
by real estate or other  collateral  has been  delinquent for more than 90 days,
satisfactory  payment  arrangements  must  be  adhered  to or the  Company  will
initiate foreclosure or repossession.

                                       11
<PAGE>

     Generally,  when a loan  becomes  delinquent  90 days  or more or when  the
collection of principal or interest becomes doubtful, the Company will place the
loan on a  non-accrual  status and,  as a result,  previously  accrued  interest
income on the loan is taken out of  current  income.  The loan will  remain on a
non-accrual status as long as the loan is 90 days delinquent.

     The following table sets forth information  concerning  delinquent mortgage
and other loans at June 30,  1998.  The amounts  presented  represent  the total
remaining  principal  balances  of the  related  loans,  rather  than the actual
payment amounts which are overdue.

     Classified Assets.  Federal  regulations  provide for the classification of
loans and other assets such as debt and equity securities  considered by the OTS
to be of lesser  quality  as  "substandard,"  "doubtful"  or "loss." An asset is
considered  "substandard"  if it is  inadequately  protected  by the current net
worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral  pledged,  if any.
"Substandard"  assets include those characterized by the "distinct  possibility"
that the savings  association  will sustain "some loss" if the  deficiencies are
not  corrected.  Assets  classified  as  "doubtful"  have all of the  weaknesses
inherent in those classified  "substandard," with the added  characteristic that
the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of
currently  existing facts,  conditions,  and values,  "highly  questionable  and
improbable."  Assets  classified as "loss" are those considered  "uncollectible"
and  of  such  little  value  that  their  continuance  as  assets  without  the
establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

     When a savings association  classifies problem assets as either substandard
or doubtful,  it may establish  general  allowances for loan losses in an amount
deemed prudent by management. General allowances represent loss allowances which
have been  established  to recognize the inherent risk  associated  with lending
activities,  but which, unlike specific  allowances,  have not been allocated to
particular problem assets. When a savings association  classifies problem assets
as "loss," it is required  either to establish a specific  allowance  for losses
equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified  or to charge-off  such
amount.  An association's  determination as to the  classification of its assets
and  the  amount  of its  valuation  allowances  is  subject  to  review  by the
association's  District  Director at the regional OTS office,  who may order the
establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

     In connection  with the filing of its periodic  reports with the OTS and in
accordance with its classification of assets policy,  the Association  regularly
reviews  the loans in its  portfolio  to  determine  whether  any loans  require
classification  in  accordance  with  applicable  regulations.  On the  basis of
management's  review  of its  assets,  at June 30,  1998,  the  Association  had
classified  a total of $1.1  million  of its  assets as  substandard,  none were
classified as doubtful, and none were classified as loss.

     At June 30, 1998, total  classified  assets comprised $1.3 million or 12.3%
of the Association's capital, or 1.50% of the Association's total assets.

     At June 30, 1998 the  Association  had a total of $1.3  million in property
acquired  in  settlement  of loans.  Included  in this  total is  $345,000  in a
one-family dwelling,  $139,000 in two duplexes,  and $805,000 in commercial real
estate. All of the properties are now earning income as they are all rented.

     Allowance for Loan Losses.  The  allowance  for loan losses is  established
through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk
inherent in its loan  portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of its loan
activity.  Such  evaluation,  which  includes  a review of loans for which  full
collectibility may not be reasonably assured,  considers among other matters the
estimated  fair  value  of  the  underlying  collateral,   economic  conditions,
historical  loan loss  experience and other factors that warrant  recognition in
providing for an adequate loan allowance.

     Real estate  properties  acquired through  foreclosure are recorded at fair
value. If fair value at the date of foreclosure is lower than the balance of the
related loan, the difference will be charged-off to the allowance at the time of
transfer.  Valuations  are  periodically  updated by management and if the value
declines,  a specific  provision for losses on such property is established by a
charge to operations.

     Although management believes that it uses the best information available to
determine  the  allowances,   unforeseen   market  conditions  could  result  in
adjustments and net earnings could be  significantly  affected if  circumstances
differ   substantially   from  the   assumptions   used  in  making   the  final
determination.  Future  additions to the  Association's  allowances  will be the
result of periodic  loan,  property  and  collateral  reviews and thus cannot be
predicted in advance.  At June 30, 1998, the  Association  had a total allowance
for loan losses of $206,000 or 0.30% of loans receivable, net. See Notes A and E
of the Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements and "Management's  Discussion
and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations"  in the Annual
Report to Stockholders attached hereto as Exhibit 13.

Investment Activities

     State Federal must maintain  minimum levels of investments  that qualify as
liquid  assets  under  OTS  regulations.  Liquidity  may  increase  or  decrease
depending upon the  availability of funds and comparative  yields on investments
in relation to the return on loans. Historically,  the Association has generally
maintained its liquid assets above the minimum  requirements  imposed by the OTS
regulations  and at a level  believed  adequate to meet  requirements  of normal
daily activities, repayment of maturing debt and potential deposit outflows. The
Association's  investment policy objective in this regard sets the Association's
desired  liquidity  between 6% and 12%. As of June 30, 1998,  the  Association's
liquidity  ratio  (liquid  assets as a percentage  of net  withdrawable  savings
deposits and current borrowings) was 10.54%. See "Regulation - Liquidity."

     Federally  chartered  savings  institutions have the authority to invest in
various types of liquid assets,  including  United States Treasury  obligations,
securities  of various  federal  agencies,  certain  certificates  of deposit of
insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, repurchase
agreements  and  federal  funds.  Subject  to  various  restrictions,  federally
chartered savings institutions may also invest their assets in commercial paper,
investment grade corporate debt securities and mutual funds whose assets conform
to the investments that a federally  chartered savings  institution is otherwise
authorized to make directly.

     Generally,  the  investment  policy of the  Association  is to invest funds
among  various   categories  of  investments  and  maturities   based  upon  the
Association's  need for  liquidity,  to achieve the proper  balance  between its
desire  to  minimize  risk  and  maximize  yield,  to  provide   collateral  for
borrowings,   and  to  fulfill  the  Association's   asset/liability  management
policies.

     Cash and Investments in Certificates of Deposit and Other  Investments.  At
June 30,  1998,  the  Company's  cash  and  interest-bearing  deposits  in other
financial  institutions  totaled $9.4  million,  or 10.47% of its total  assets.
Certificates of deposits invested in other institutions  totaled $1.5 million or
1.67% of its total  assets.  The  Association  has a $949,000  investment in the
common stock of the FHLB of Des Moines in order to satisfy the  requirement  for
membership  in such  institution.  The Company has $1.3  million or 1.45% of its
total assets invested in corporate  securities,  which includes preferred common
stocks and mutual  funds.  The Company  has $1.4  million or 1.56% of its assets
invested  in  federal  agency  securities.  See Note D of Notes to  Consolidated
Financial  Statements in the Annual Report to  Stockholders  attached  hereto as
Exhibit 13.

     OTS  regulations  restrict  investments  in corporate  debt and most equity
securities by the Association.  These restrictions  include prohibitions against
investments in the federal agency debt securities of any one issuer in excess of
15% of the Association's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus as defined by
federal regulations, plus an additional 10% if the investments are fully secured
by readily  marketable  collateral.  See  "Regulation  - Federal  Regulation  of
Savings  Associations"  for a  discussion  of  additional  restrictions  on  the
Association's investment activities.

Sources of Funds

     General.  The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits,  borrowings,
repayment of loan principal, sales of loan participations,  maturing investments
in certificates of deposit, and funds provided from operations.

     Borrowings, consisting of FHLB advances, may be used at times to compensate
for seasonal  reductions in deposits or deposit  inflows at less than  projected
levels,  and may be used on a  longer-term  basis to  support  expanded  lending
activities.

     Deposits.  State Federal offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide
range of  interest  rates and  terms.  The  Association's  deposits  consist  of
passbook  savings  accounts,  NOW, and money market  accounts,  and  certificate
accounts  ranging in terms from three months to 60 months.  The Association only
solicits  deposits  from its market area and does not  currently  use brokers to
obtain  deposits.  The  Association  relies  primarily  on  competitive  pricing
policies, advertising and customer service to attract and retain these deposits.

     The flow of  deposits  is  influenced  significantly  by  general  economic
conditions,   changes  in  money  market  and  prevailing  interest  rates,  and
competition.

     The variety of deposit  accounts  offered by the Association has allowed it
to be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with  flexibility to changes
in consumer  demand.  The Association has become more  susceptible to short-term
fluctuations  in deposit  flows,  as customers  have become more  interest  rate
conscious.  The ability of the Association to attract and maintain  certificates
of  deposit  accounts  and the rates  paid on these  deposits  has been and will
continue to be significantly affected by market conditions.

     The following table sets forth the savings flows at the Association  during
the periods indicated.

     Borrowings.  Although  deposits  are the  Association's  primary  source of
funds, the Association's  policy has been to utilize  borrowings when they are a
less costly source of funds, can be invested at a positive  interest rate spread
or when the Association desires additional capacity to fund loan demand.

     State Federal's borrowings historically have consisted of advances from the
FHLB of Des Moines upon the  security  of a blanket  collateral  agreement  of a
percentage of unencumbered  loans. Such advances can be made pursuant to several
different credit programs,  each of which has its own interest rate and range of
maturities.  At June  30,  1998,  the  Association  had  $19.0  million  in FHLB
advances.

     At June 30, 1998,  the  Association  had no repurchase  agreements or other
borrowings not mentioned above outstanding.

Service Corporation Activities

     Federal  associations  generally  may  invest  up to 2% of their  assets in
service  corporations  plus an  additional  1% of assets  if used for  community
purposes.  In  addition,  federal  associations  may  invest  up to 50% of their
regulatory  capital  in  conforming  loans to  their  service  corporations.  In
addition  to  investments  in service  corporations,  federal  associations  are
permitted to invest an unlimited amount in operating subsidiaries engaged solely
in activities in which a federal association may engage directly.

     State  Federal  has one service  corporation,  State  Service  Corporation,
located in Des Moines,  Iowa.  State Service  Corporation was organized by State
Federal in 1976. State Service Corporation owns and operates a 60-unit apartment
complex, in Pleasant Hill, Iowa.

     During the fiscal year ended June 30,  1998,  State  Service  Corporation's
gross revenues from property management activities (consisting of rental income)
totaled  approximately   $303,000  and  expenses  (consisting  of  depreciation,
interest,  property  taxes,  management  fees, and  maintenance)  were $258,000.
Income tax expense totaled $26,000 for 1998.  State Service  Corporation has not
had significant  capital  expenditures  with regard to its real estate operation
over the past three fiscal  years.  Revenues  from State  Service  Corporation's
interest  income on real estate  contracts  totaled  $19,000.  See Note K to the
Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in the  1998  Annual  Report  to
Stockholders attached hereto as Exhibit 13.


                                   REGULATION

General

     State Federal is a federally  chartered savings and loan  association,  the
deposits of which are federally  insured and backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States Government.  Accordingly, State Federal is subject to broad
federal  regulation  and  oversight   extending  to  all  its  operations.   The
Association  is a member of the FHLB of Des  Moines  and is  subject  to certain
limited  regulation  by the Board of  Governors  of the Federal  Reserve  System
("Federal  Reserve  Board").  As the savings and loan  holding  company of State
Federal,  the  Holding  Company  also  is  subject  to  federal  regulation  and
oversight.  The  purpose of the  regulation  of the  Holding  Company  and other
holding companies is to protect subsidiary savings associations. The Association
is a member of the Savings Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF"),  which together
with the Bank  Insurance  Fund (the "BIF") are the two deposit  insurance  funds
administered by the FDIC, and the deposits of the Association are insured by the
FDIC. As a result,  the FDIC has certain  regulatory and  examination  authority
over State Federal.

     Certain of these  regulatory  requirements  and  restrictions are discussed
below or elsewhere in this document.

Federal Regulation of Savings Associations

     The  OTS  has   extensive   authority   over  the   operations  of  savings
associations.  As part of this  authority,  State  Federal is  required  to file
periodic reports with the OTS and is subject to periodic examinations by the OTS
and the FDIC.  The last regular  examination of State Federal was as of December
31, 1997.  When these  examinations  are conducted by the OTS and the FDIC,  the
examiners may require the  Association to provide for higher general or specific
loan loss  reserves.  All  savings  associations  are  subject to a  semi-annual
assessment,  based upon the  savings  association's  total  assets,  to fund the
operations  of the OTS. The  Association's  OTS  assessment  for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998 was approximately $27,300.

     The  OTS  also  has  extensive   enforcement  authority  over  all  savings
institutions  and their  holding  companies,  including  State  Federal  and the
Holding Company.  This enforcement  authority includes,  among other things, the
ability to assess civil money penalties,  to issue  cease-and-desist  or removal
orders and to initiate injunctive actions. 



                                       19
<PAGE>

In general,  these  enforcement  actions may be initiated for violations of laws
and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices.  Other actions or inactions may
provide  the basis for  enforcement  action,  including  misleading  or untimely
reports  filed  with  the  OTS.  Except  under  certain  circumstances,   public
disclosure of final enforcement actions by the OTS is required.

     In  addition,  the  investment,  lending  and  branching  authority  of the
Association  is prescribed by federal law and it is prohibited  from engaging in
any activities not permitted by such laws. For instance,  no savings institution
may invest in non-investment grade corporate debt securities.  In addition,  the
permissible  level of  investment  by federal  associations  in loans secured by
non-residential real property may not exceed 400% of total capital,  except with
approval of the OTS. Federal savings  associations are also generally authorized
to  branch   nationwide.   State  Federal  is  in  compliance   with  the  noted
restrictions.

     The    Association's     general     permissible    lending    limit    for
loans-to-one-borrower  is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of  unimpaired
capital  and  surplus  (except  for  loans  fully  secured  by  certain  readily
marketable  collateral,  in  which  case  this  limit  is  increased  to  25% of
unimpaired  capital and surplus).  At June 30, 1998, the  Association's  lending
limit under this  restriction  was $1.6 million.  State Federal is in compliance
with the loans-to-one-borrower limitation.

     The  OTS,  as well as the  other  federal  banking  agencies,  has  adopted
guidelines  establishing  safety and soundness standards on such matters as loan
underwriting and  documentation,  internal controls and audit systems,  interest
rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee benefits. Any institution
which fails to comply with these  standards  must submit a  compliance  plan.  A
failure to submit a plan or to comply  with an  approved  plan will  subject the
institution to further enforcement action.

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC

     State Federal is a member of the SAIF,  which is  administered by the FDIC.
Deposits are insured up to applicable  limits by the FDIC and such  insurance is
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. As insurer,
the FDIC  imposes  deposit  insurance  premiums  and is  authorized  to  conduct
examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured  institutions.  It also
may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC
determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the SAIF or the BIF.
The FDIC also has the authority to initiate  enforcement actions against savings
associations,  after giving the OTS an opportunity to take such action,  and may
terminate  the deposit  insurance  if it  determines  that the  institution  has
engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

     The FDIC's  deposit  insurance  premiums are assessed  through a risk-based
system under which all insured  depository  institutions  are placed into one of
nine  categories  and  assessed  insurance  premiums  based upon their  level of
capital and supervisory evaluation. Under the system, institutions classified as
well  capitalized  (i.e., a core capital ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of Tier 1
or core capital to  risk-weighted  assets  ("Tier 1  risk-based  capital") of at
least 6% and a risk-based  capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy
pay the  lowest  premium  while  institutions  that  are  less  than  adequately
capitalized (i.e., core or Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than 4% or a
risk-based  capital  ratio  of less  than  8%)  and  considered  of  substantial
supervisory concern pay the highest premium.  Risk classification of all insured
institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.

     The FDIC is authorized to increase assessment rates, on a semiannual basis,
if it  determines  that the  reserve  ratio of the  SAIF  will be less  than the
designated  reserve  ratio of 1.25% of SAIF insured  deposits.  In setting these
increased  assessments,  the FDIC must seek to restore the reserve ratio to that
designated  reserve  level,  or such higher  reserve ratio as established by the
FDIC.  The FDIC may also impose  special  assessments  on SAIF  members to repay
amounts  borrowed from the United States Treasury or for any other reason deemed
necessary by the FDIC.

     Effective  January 1, 1997,  the premium  schedule for BIF and SAIF insured
institutions   ranged  from  0  to  27  basis  points.   However,   SAIF-insured
institutions are required to pay a Financing  Corporation (FICO) assessment,  in
order to fund the  interest on bonds  issued to resolve  thrift  failures in the
1980s,  equal to  approximately  6.48  basis  points  for each $100 in  domestic
deposits,   while   BIF-insured   institutions   pay  an  assessment   equal  to
approximately



                                       20
<PAGE>

1.52 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits. The assessment is expected
to be  reduced  to 2.43 basis  points no later  than  January 1, 2000,  when BIF
insured  institutions  fully participate in the assessment.  These  assessments,
which may be revised based upon the level of BIF and SAIF deposits will continue
until the bonds mature in the year 2017.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

     Federally  insured  savings  associations,  such  as the  Association,  are
required  to  maintain  a  minimum  level  of  regulatory  capital.  The OTS has
established  capital  standards,  including a tangible  capital  requirement,  a
leverage  ratio  (or  core  capital)   requirement  and  a  risk-based   capital
requirement applicable to such savings associations.  These capital requirements
must be  generally  as  stringent as the  comparable  capital  requirements  for
national  banks.  The OTS is also  authorized to impose capital  requirements in
excess of these standards on individual associations on a case-by-case basis.

     The  capital  regulations  require  tangible  capital  of at least  1.5% of
adjusted total assets (as defined by  regulation).  Tangible  capital  generally
includes  common   stockholders'   equity  and  retained  income,   and  certain
noncumulative  perpetual  preferred stock and related income.  In addition,  all
intangible  assets,  other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage servicing
rights,  must be deducted from tangible capital for calculating  compliance with
the requirement.

     The OTS  regulations  establish  special  capitalization  requirements  for
savings associations that own subsidiaries.  In determining  compliance with the
capital requirements,  all subsidiaries engaged solely in activities permissible
for national  banks or engaged in certain other  activities  solely as agent for
its customers are  "includable"  subsidiaries  that are consolidated for capital
purposes in proportion to the association's  level of ownership.  For excludable
subsidiaries,  the debt and equity investments in such subsidiaries are deducted
from assets and capital.

     At June 30, 1998 the Association had tangible  capital of $9.4 million,  or
11.18% of adjusted total assets,  which is approximately  $8.1 million above the
minimum requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.

     The capital  standards  also require  core capital  equal to at least 3% of
adjusted total assets.  Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus
certain intangible  assets,  including a limited amount of purchased credit card
relationships.  As a result of the prompt corrective action provisions discussed
below,  however, a savings  association must maintain a core capital ratio of at
least  4%  to  be  considered  adequately  capitalized  unless  its  supervisory
condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3% ratio.

     At June 30, 1998, the  Association  had core capital equal to $9.4 million,
or 11.18% of adjusted  total  assets,  which is $6.0  million  above the minimum
leverage ratio requirement of 3% as in effect on that date.

     The OTS risk-based  requirement requires savings associations to have total
capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted  assets.  Total capital consists of core
capital,  as defined above, and  supplementary  capital.  Supplementary  capital
consists of certain  permanent  and  maturing  capital  instruments  that do not
qualify as core capital and general  valuation loan and lease loss allowances up
to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary capital may be used
to satisfy the risk-based  requirement  only to the extent of core capital.  The
OTS is  also  authorized  to  require  a  savings  association  to  maintain  an
additional  amount of total capital to account for  concentration of credit risk
and the risk of non-traditional  activities. At June 30, 1998, State Federal had
no capital  instruments  that qualify as  supplementary  capital and $206,000 of
general loss reserves, which was less than 0.41% of risk-weighted assets.

     Certain  exclusions from capital and assets are required to be made for the
purpose  of  calculating  total  capital.  Such  exclusions  consist  of  equity
investments  (as  defined  by  regulation)  and that  portion  of land loans and
nonresidential  construction  loans in excess of an 80% loan-to-value  ratio and
reciprocal holdings of qualifying capital instruments. State Federal had no such
exclusions from capital and assets at June 30, 1998.



                                       21
<PAGE>

     In determining the amount of risk-weighted  assets,  all assets,  including
certain  off-balance sheet items,  will be multiplied by a risk weight,  ranging
from 0% to 100%,  based on the risk inherent in the type of asset.  For example,
the OTS has assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently  underwritten  permanent
one- to four-family  first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days  delinquent
and  having a loan to value  ratio of not more  than 80% at  origination  unless
insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by the FNMA or FHLMC.

     OTS regulations also require that every savings  association with more than
normal  interest  rate risk  exposure  to deduct  from its  total  capital,  for
purposes of determining compliance with such requirement, an amount equal to 50%
of its  interest-rate  risk  exposure  multiplied  by the  present  value of its
assets. This exposure is a measure of the potential decline in the net portfolio
value of a savings  association,  greater  than 2% of the  present  value of its
assets,  based upon a  hypothetical  200 basis  point  increase  or  decrease in
interest rates (whichever results in a greater decline).  Net portfolio value is
the  present  value  of  expected  cash  flows  from  assets,   liabilities  and
off-balance  sheet  contracts.  The rule will not become effective until the OTS
evaluates the process by which savings  associations may appeal an interest rate
risk  deduction  determination.  It is  uncertain  when this  evaluation  may be
completed.  Any savings  association with less than $300 million in assets and a
total capital ratio in excess of 12% is exempt from this requirement  unless the
OTS determines otherwise.

     On June 30,  1998,  the  Association  had total  capital  of $10.6  million
(including $9.4 million in core capital and $206,000 in qualifying supplementary
capital) and risk-weighted assets of $49.8 million or total capital of 19.31% of
risk-weighted  assets.  This amount was $5.4 million above the 8% requirement in
effect on that date.

     The OTS and the  FDIC  are  authorized  and,  under  certain  circumstances
required, to take certain actions against savings associations that fail to meet
their  capital  requirements.  The OTS is  generally  required to take action to
restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized  association" (generally defined
to be one with less than either a 4% core capital  ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio or an 8% risk-based  capital  ratio).  Any such  association  must
submit a capital restoration plan and until such plan is approved by the OTS may
not  increase its assets,  acquire  another  institution,  establish a branch or
engage in any new activities,  and generally may not make capital distributions.
The OTS is authorized to impose the additional  restrictions that are applicable
to significantly undercapitalized associations.

     As a condition to the approval of the capital restoration plan, any company
controlling an undercapitalized association must agree that it will enter into a
limited  capital  maintenance   guarantee  with  respect  to  the  institution's
achievement of its capital requirements.

     Any savings  association  that fails to comply with its capital  plan or is
"significantly undercapitalized" (i.e., Tier 1 risk-based or core capital ratios
of less  than 3% or a  risk-based  capital  ratio of less  than 6%) must be made
subject  to  one  or  more  of  additional   specified   actions  and  operating
restrictions  which may cover all aspects of its operations and include a forced
merger  or  acquisition  of  the   association.   An  association  that  becomes
"critically  undercapitalized" (i.e., a tangible capital ratio of 2% or less) is
subject to further mandatory restrictions on its activities in addition to those
applicable to significantly  undercapitalized associations. In addition, the OTS
must appoint a receiver (or conservator  with the concurrence of the FDIC) for a
savings  association,  with certain limited exceptions,  within 90 days after it
becomes critically  undercapitalized.  Any undercapitalized  association is also
subject to the general enforcement authorities of the OTS or FDIC, including the
appointment of a conservator or a receiver.

     The OTS is also generally  authorized to reclassify an  association  into a
lower capital category and impose the  restrictions  applicable to such category
if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound  practices or is in an unsafe
or unsound condition.

     The  imposition  by the OTS or the  FDIC of any of  these  measures  on the
Association  may  have  a  substantial   adverse  effect  on  the  Association's
operations  and  profitability.   Holding  Company   shareholders  do  not  have
preemptive rights, and therefore,  if the Holding Company is directed by the OTS
or the FDIC to issue additional shares of Common Stock, such issuance may result
in the dilution in the percentage of ownership of the Holding Company.



                                       22

Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions

     OTS regulations  impose various  restrictions on savings  associations with
respect  to their  ability  to make  distributions  of  capital,  which  include
dividends,  stock  redemptions  or  repurchases,   cash-out  mergers  and  other
transactions  charged to the capital  account.  OTS regulations  also prohibit a
savings  association from declaring or paying any dividends or from repurchasing
any of its stock if, as a result,  the  regulatory  capital  of the  association
would be reduced below the amount  required to be maintained for the liquidation
account established in connection with its mutual to stock conversion.

     Generally,  savings  associations,  such as State Federal,  that before and
after the  proposed  distribution  meet  their  capital  requirements,  may make
capital  distributions  during any calendar year equal to the greater of 100% of
net  income for the  year-to-date  plus 50% of the amount by which the lesser of
the  association's  tangible,  core or  risk-based  capital  exceeds its capital
requirement  for such  capital  component,  as measured at the  beginning of the
calendar year, or 75% of its net income for the most recent four quarter period.
However,  an association deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by
the OTS may have its dividend authority restricted by the OTS. State Federal may
pay dividends in accordance with this general authority.

     Savings  associations  proposing to make any capital distribution need only
submit  written  notice to the OTS 30 days prior to such  distribution.  Savings
associations  that do not,  or would  not meet  their  current  minimum  capital
requirements following a proposed capital distribution, however, must obtain OTS
approval  prior  to  making  such  distribution.  The  OTS  may  object  to  the
distribution  during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness  concerns.
See "- Regulatory Capital Requirements."

     The OTS has  proposed  regulations  that would  revise the current  capital
distribution  restrictions.  Under the proposal a savings association may make a
capital  distribution  without notice to the OTS (unless it is a subsidiary of a
holding  company)  provided  that  it  has a  CAMEL  1 or 2  rating,  is  not of
supervisory concern, and would remain adequately  capitalized (as defined in the
OTS prompt corrective action regulations)  following the proposed  distribution.
Savings  associations  that would remain  adequately  capitalized  following the
proposed  distribution but do not meet the other noted  requirements must notify
the OTS 30 days prior to  declaring  a capital  distribution.  The OTS stated it
will generally regard as permissible that amount of capital  distributions  that
do not exceed 50% of the institution's excess regulatory capital plus net income
to date during the calendar year. A savings  association  may not make a capital
distribution  without  prior  approval  of  the  OTS  and  the  FDIC  if  it  is
undercapitalized  before,  or as a result of, such a distribution.  As under the
current  rule,  the  OTS  may  object  to a  capital  distribution  if it  would
constitute  an unsafe  or  unsound  practice.  No  assurance  may be given as to
whether or in what form the regulations may be adopted.

Liquidity

     All savings associations, including State Federal, are required to maintain
an average daily  balance of liquid assets equal to a certain  percentage of the
sum of its  average  daily  balance of net  withdrawable  deposit  accounts  and
borrowings payable in one year or less. For a discussion of what the Association
includes  in  liquid  assets,  see  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of
Financial   Condition   and  Results  of  Operations  -  Liquidity  and  Capital
Resources".  This  liquid  asset  ratio  requirement  may vary from time to time
(between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings flows of all
savings associations. At the present time, the minimum liquid asset ratio is 4%.

     In addition,  short-term liquid assets (e.g.,  cash, certain time deposits,
certain bankers  acceptances and short-term United States Treasury  obligations)
currently must constitute at least 1% of the association's average daily balance
of net withdrawable  deposit accounts and current  borrowings.  Penalties may be
imposed  upon   associations   for  violations  of  either  liquid  asset  ratio
requirement.  At June 30, 1998,  the  Association  was in  compliance  with both
requirements,  with an overall  liquid  asset  ratio of 10.54% and a  short-term
liquid assets ratio of 10.54%.

Accounting

     An OTS policy statement  applicable to all savings  associations  clarifies
and re-emphasizes that the investment  activities of a savings  association must
be  in  compliance  with  approved  and  documented   investment   policies  and
strategies,  and must be accounted for in accordance with GAAP. Under the policy
statement,  management  must support its  classification  of and  accounting for
loans and securities (i.e.,  whether held for investment,  sale or trading) with
appropriate  documentation.  The Association is in compliance with these amended
rules.

     The OTS has adopted an amendment to its accounting  regulations,  which may
be made more  stringent  than GAAP by the OTS, to require that  transactions  be
reported in a manner that best reflects their underlying  economic substance and
inherent risk and that financial  reports must  incorporate any other accounting
regulations or orders prescribed by the OTS.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test

     All savings associations, including the Association, are required to meet a
qualified  thrift  lender  ("QTL") test to avoid certain  restrictions  on their
operations. This test requires a savings association to have at least 65% of its
portfolio assets (as defined by regulation) in qualified thrift investments on a
monthly  average  for nine out of every 12  months  on a  rolling  basis.  As an
alternative, the Savings Association may maintain 60% of its assets specified in
Section  770(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under either test, such assets
primarily consist of residential housing related loans and investments.  At June
30,  1998,  the  Association  met the test and has always met the test since its
effectiveness.

     Any savings  association  that fails to meet the QTL test must convert to a
national bank charter,  unless it requalifies as a QTL and thereafter  remains a
QTL. If an  association  does not  requalify  and  converts  to a national  bank
charter,  it must remain  SAIF-insured  until the FDIC permits it to transfer to
the BIF.  If such an  association  has not yet  requalified  or  converted  to a
national  bank,  its  new  investments  and  activities  are  limited  to  those
permissible  for both a  savings  association  and a  national  bank,  and it is
limited to national bank branching  rights in its home state.  In addition,  the
association is immediately  ineligible to receive any new FHLB borrowings and is
subject to national  bank limits for payment of dividends.  If such  association
has not requalified or converted to a national bank within three years after the
failure,  it must  divest  of all  investments  and  cease  all  activities  not
permissible  for a  national  bank.  In  addition,  it must repay  promptly  any
outstanding FHLB borrowings,  which may result in prepayment  penalties.  If any
association  that fails the QTL test is  controlled by a holding  company,  then
within one year after the failure,  the holding  company must register as a bank
holding  company  and  become  subject  to  all  restrictions  on  bank  holding
companies. See "- Holding Company Regulation."

Community Reinvestment Act

     Under  the  Community   Reinvestment   Act  ("CRA"),   every  FDIC  insured
institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and
sound banking  practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire  community,
including  low and moderate  income  neighborhoods.  The CRA does not  establish
specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it
limit an institution's  discretion to develop the types of products and services
that it believes are best suited to its particular  community,  consistent  with
the CRA. The CRA requires the OTS, in connection  with the  examination of State
Federal to assess the  institution's  record of meeting the credit  needs of its
community  and to take such record  into  account in its  evaluation  of certain
applications,  such as a  merger  or the  establishment  of a  branch,  by State
Federal. An unsatisfactory  rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an
application by the OTS.

     The federal banking agencies,  including the OTS, have recently revised the
CRA regulations and the methodology for determining an institution's  compliance
with the CRA. Due to the heightened attention being given to the CRA in the past
few years,  the  Association  may be  required  to devote  additional  funds for
investment and lending in its local community.  The Association examined for CRA
compliance in 1990 and received a rating of satisfactory.

Transactions with Affiliates

     Generally,  transactions  between a savings association or its subsidiaries
and its affiliates  are required to be on terms as favorable to the  association
as transactions with non-affiliates.  In addition, certain of these transactions
such  as  loans  to  an  affiliate,  are  restricted  to  a  percentage  of  the
association's  capital.  Affiliates of State Federal include the Holding Company
and any company which is under common control with the Association. In addition,
a savings  association  may not lend to any affiliate  engaged in activities not
permissible  for a bank  holding  company  or  acquire  the  securities  of most
affiliates. The Association's  subsidiaries are not deemed affiliates,  however;
the OTS has the  discretion to treat  subsidiaries  of savings  associations  as
affiliates on a case by case basis.

     Certain  transactions with directors,  officers or controlling  persons are
also  subject to  conflict of interest  regulations  enforced by the OTS.  These
conflict of interest  regulations and other statutes also impose restrictions on

                                       25
<PAGE>

loans to such persons and their  related  interests.  Among other  things,  such
loans must be made on terms  substantially the same as for loans to unaffiliated
individuals.

Holding Company Regulation

     The Holding  Company is a unitary  savings and loan holding company subject
to regulatory  oversight by the OTS. As such, the Holding Company is required to
register  and  file  reports  with  the OTS and is  subject  to  regulation  and
examination by the OTS. In addition,  the OTS has enforcement authority over the
Holding Company and its non-savings association  subsidiaries which also permits
the OTS to restrict or prohibit  activities  that are determined to be a serious
risk to the subsidiary savings association.

     As a  unitary  savings  and  loan  holding  company,  the  Holding  Company
generally  is not  subject to  activity  restrictions.  If the  Holding  Company
acquires  control of another savings  association as a separate  subsidiary,  it
would become a multiple savings and loan holding company,  and the activities of
the Holding Company and any of its  subsidiaries  (other than the Association or
any  other  SAIF-insured  savings  association)  would  become  subject  to such
restrictions  unless  such  other  associations  each  qualify as a QTL and were
acquired in a supervisory acquisition.

     If the Association  fails the QTL test, the Holding Company must obtain the
approval of the OTS prior to continuing after such failure,  directly or through
its other  subsidiaries,  any business  activity  other than those  approved for
multiple savings and loan holding companies or their subsidiaries.  In addition,
within one year of such failure the Holding  Company must  register as, and will
become subject to, the restrictions  applicable to bank holding  companies.  The
activities  authorized for a bank holding  company are more limited than are the
activities  authorized  for a  unitary  or  multiple  savings  and loan  holding
company. See "--Qualified Thrift Lender Test."

     The Holding  Company  must obtain  approval  from the OTS before  acquiring
control of any other SAIF-insured  association.  Such acquisitions are generally
prohibited  if they  result  in a  multiple  savings  and loan  holding  company
controlling  savings  associations  in  more  than  one  state.   However,  such
interstate  acquisitions are permitted based on specific state  authorization or
in a supervisory acquisition of a failing savings association.

Federal Securities Law

     The  stock of the  Holding  Company  is  registered  with the SEC under the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange  Act").  The Holding
Company is subject  to the  information,  proxy  solicitation,  insider  trading
restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.

     Holding  Company  stock  held  by  persons  who are  affiliates  (generally
officers,  directors and principal  stockholders) of the Holding Company may not
be resold without  registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale
restrictions.  If the Holding Company meets specified current public information
requirements,  each  affiliate  of the  Holding  Company  is able to sell in the
public  market,  without  registration,  a  limited  number  of  shares  in  any
three-month period.

Federal Reserve System

     The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository  institutions to maintain
non-interest  bearing  reserves at specified  levels  against their  transaction
accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts).  At June 30,
1998, the  Association was in compliance  with these reserve  requirements.  The
balances  maintained  to meet the  reserve  requirements  imposed by the Federal
Reserve Board may be used to satisfy liquidity  requirements that may be imposed
by the OTS. See "-- Liquidity."

     Savings associations are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank
"discount window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require associations to
exhaust  other  reasonable   alternative   sources  of  funds,   including  FHLB
borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.



                                       26

Federal Home Loan Bank System

     The  Association is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines,  which is one of 12
regional FHLBs,  that  administers the home financing credit function of savings
associations.  Each FHLB  serves as a reserve  or central  bank for its  members
within its assigned  region.  It is funded  primarily from proceeds derived from
the sale of  consolidated  obligations  of the FHLB  System.  It makes  loans to
members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures, established
by the board of directors of the FHLB, which are subject to the oversight of the
Federal  Housing  Finance  Board.  All advances from the FHLB are required to be
fully secured by  sufficient  collateral as determined by the FHLB. In addition,
all  long-term  advances  are  required to provide  funds for  residential  home
financing.

     As a member,  State  Federal is required to purchase and maintain  stock in
the FHLB of Des Moines.  At June 30,  1998,  State  Federal had $949,000 in FHLB
stock,  which  was in  compliance  with this  requirement.  In past  years,  the
Association has received substantial  dividends on its FHLB stock. Over the past
five fiscal years such  dividends  have averaged 7.39% and were 6.81% for fiscal
year 1998.

     Under  federal  law  the  FHLBs  are  required  to  provide  funds  for the
resolution  of  troubled  savings  associations  and to  contribute  to low- and
moderately priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on
advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income  housing
projects.  These  contributions  have  affected  adversely  the  level  of  FHLB
dividends  paid and could continue to do so in the future.  These  contributions
could also have an adverse  effect on the value of FHLB stock in the  future.  A
reduction in value of the Association's FHLB stock may result in a corresponding
reduction in State Federal's capital.

     For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998,  dividends paid by the FHLB of Des
Moines to State Federal totaled $64,700,  which constitutes a $400 increase from
the amount of  dividends  received in the fiscal year ended June 30,  1997.  The
$16,000  dividend  received  for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1998  reflects an
annualized rate of 7.0%, the same rate for the same quarter ended June 30, 1997.

Federal and State Taxation

     Prior to the year ended June 30,  1997,  savings  associations  such as the
Association that meet certain  definitional tests relating to the composition of
assets and other conditions  prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"),  were permitted to establish reserves for bad debts and to
make annual  additions  thereto which may, within specified  formula limits,  be
taken as a  deduction  in  computing  taxable  income  for  federal  income  tax
purposes.  The amount of bad debt reserve deduction for  "non-qualifying  loans"
are computed  under the  experience  method.  The amount of the bad debt reserve
deduction for  "qualifying  real  property  loans"  (generally  loans secured by
improved real estate) was to be computed under either the  experience  method or
the percentage of taxable income method (based on an annual election). Under the
experience  method, the bad debt reserve deduction is an amount determined under
a formula based  generally upon the bad debts actually  sustained by the savings
association over a period of years.

     The  percentage  of  specially  computed  taxable  income  that was used to
compute a savings  association's bad debt reserve deduction under the percentage
of taxable income method (the  "percentage  bad debt  deduction") was 8% for the
years 1987-1995.  The percentage bad debt deduction thus computed was reduced by
the  amount  permitted  as  a  deduction  for  non-qualifying  loans  under  the
experience method. The availability of this percentage-of-taxable- income method
permitted  qualifying  savings  associations  to be taxed  at a lower  effective
federal  income  tax  rate  than  that  applicable  to  corporations   generally
(approximately  31.3%  assuming  the  maximum  percentage  bad debt  deduction).
Pursuant to changes in Federal tax law enacted in August  1996,  the  percentage
bad debt deduction has been  eliminated for tax years  beginning  after December
31, 1995.

     The federal tax legislation enacted in August 1996 imposes a requirement to
recapture into taxable  income the portion of the qualifying and  non-qualifying
loan reserves in excess of the  "base-year"  balances of such reserves.  For the
Association,  the  base-year  reserves are the balances as of December 31, 1987.
Recapture of the excess  reserves  will occur over a six-year  period which will
begin for the bank  either in fiscal  year 1997,  1998,  or 1999,


                                       27
<PAGE>

depending on whether it meets certain residential lending requirements. The Bank
previously established,  and will continue to maintain, a deferred tax liability
with  respect to its  Federal tax bad debt  reserves in excess of the  base-year
balances;  accordingly,  the  legislative  changes  will have no effect on total
income tax expense for financial reporting purposes.

     Also,  under the  August  1996  legislation,  the  Association's  base-year
Federal tax bad debt reserves are "frozen" and subject to current recapture only
in very limited circumstances.  Generally,  recapture of all or a portion of the
base-year reserves will be required if the Association pays a dividend in excess
of its current or accumulated  earnings or profits,  redeems any of its stock or
is  liquidated.  The  Association  has not  established  a deferred  federal tax
liability under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 for
its base-year Federal tax bad debt reserves,  as it does not anticipate engaging
in any of the transactions that would cause such reserves to be recaptured.  The
unrecognized deferred tax liability was $520,000 at June 30, 1998.

     In addition to the regular  income  tax,  corporations,  including  savings
associations such as the Association, generally are subject to a minimum tax. An
alternative  minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on  alternative
minimum  taxable  income,  which is the sum of a  corporation's  regular taxable
income (with certain  adjustments) and tax preference  items, less any available
exemption.  The alternative  minimum tax is imposed to the extent it exceeds the
corporation's  regular  income tax and net  operating  losses can offset no more
than 90% of alternative  minimum  taxable  income.  For taxable years  beginning
after 1986 and before 1996, corporations, including savings associations such as
the Association,  are also subject to an environmental tax equal to 0.12% of the
excess of alternative  minimum  taxable income for the taxable year  (determined
without regard to net operating  losses and the deduction for the  environmental
tax) over $2 million.

     The  Association  and its subsidiary  have not been audited by the IRS with
respect to consolidated  federal income tax returns within the past three years.
With respect to years  examined by the IRS,  either all  deficiencies  have been
satisfied or  sufficient  reserves  have been  established  to satisfy  asserted
deficiencies.  In the  opinion  of  management,  any  examination  of still open
returns  (including  returns of subsidiaries  and  predecessors  of, or entities
merged into, the Association)  would not result in a deficiency which could have
a material adverse effect on the financial  condition of the Association and its
consolidated subsidiaries.

     Iowa Taxation. The Holding Company and the Association's  subsidiaries file
Iowa  corporation tax returns while the Association  files an Iowa franchise tax
return.

     Iowa  imposes a  franchise  tax on the  taxable  income for both mutual and
stock savings and loan  associations.  The tax rate is 5%, which may effectively
be increased,  in individual  cases,  by application of a minimum tax provision.
Taxable  income under the franchise tax is generally  similar to taxable  income
under the federal  corporate  income tax, except that,  under the Iowa franchise
tax, no deduction is allowed for Iowa  franchise tax payments and taxable income
includes  interest  on  state  and  municipal  obligations.   Interest  on  U.S.
obligations  is  taxable  under the Iowa  franchise  tax and  under the  federal
corporate income tax.

     Taxable income under the Iowa corporate income tax is generally  similar to
taxable income under the federal  corporate  income tax, except that,  under the
Iowa tax, no deduction is allowed for Iowa income tax  payments;  interest  from
state and  municipal  obligations  is  included  in income;  interest  from U.S.
obligations  is excluded from income;  and 50% of federal  corporate  income tax
payments are excluded  from income.  The Iowa  corporate  income tax rates range
from  6% to 12%  and may be  effectively  increased,  in  individual  cases,  by
application of a minimum tax provision.

     Delaware  Taxation.  As a Delaware holding company,  the Holding Company is
exempted  from Delaware  corporate  income tax but is required to file an annual
report with and pay an annual fee to the State of Delaware.  The Holding Company
is also subject to an annual franchise tax imposed by the State of Delaware.

Competition

     State Federal faces strong competition, both in originating real estate and
other loans and in attracting  deposits.  Competition in originating real estate
loans comes primarily from other commercial banks, savings associations,  credit
unions and mortgage  bankers  making loans secured by real estate located in the
Association's  market area. The  Association  competes for real estate and other
loans  principally  on the basis of the  quality  of  services  it  provides  to
borrowers, and loan fees it charges, and the types of loans it originates.

     The  Association  attracts all of its deposits  through its retail  banking
offices,  primarily from the  communities in which those retail banking  offices
are located; therefore, competition for those deposits is principally from other
commercial  banks,  savings  associations  and credit unions located in the same
communities.  The Association  competes for these deposits by offering a variety
of deposit  accounts  at  competitive  rates,  convenient  business  hours,  and
convenient branch locations with interbranch  deposit and withdrawal  privileges
at each.

     The Association's primary concentration is Des Moines, Iowa. There are four
savings  institutions,  over 13  commercial  banks and  approximately  35 credit
unions in the Association's market area. The Association  estimates its share of
the savings market in its primary market area to be approximately 1.0%.

Employees

     At June  30,  1998,  the  Company  and  its  subsidiary  had a total  of 17
employees.  The  Association's  employees are not  represented by any collective
bargaining group. Management considers its employee relations to be good.

Item 2.  Properties

     The  Association  conducts  its  business  at its main office and one other
location in its primary market area. The following table sets forth  information
relating to each of the Association's offices as of June 30, 1998.

     The Association  owns its branch office and its main office.  The total net
book  value  of  the  Association's  premises  and  equipment  (including  land,
building,  furniture, fixtures and equipment) at June 30, 1998 was $1.6 million.

data processing and computer  equipment  utilized by the Association at June 30,
1998 was $131,900.  The net book value of other  furniture and equipment at June
30, 1998 was $44,500.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

     State  Federal is involved  from time to time as  plaintiff or defendant in
various  legal  actions  arising in the  normal  course of its  business.  State
Service Corporation, the Association's wholly-owned subsidiary is not a party to
any legal  action.  While the ultimate  outcome of these  proceedings  cannot be
predicted with certainty,  it is the opinion of management,  after  consultation
with counsel representing State Federal in the proceedings,  that the resolution
of these  proceedings  should  not have a  material  effect  on State  Federal's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     No  matter  was  submitted  to a vote  of  security  holders,  through  the

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

Forward-Looking Statements

     When  used in this  filing  and in future  filings  by  StateFed  Financial
Corporation (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission,  in the
Company's  press releases or other public or shareholder  communications,  or in
oral statements made with the approval of an authorized  executive officer,  the
words or phrases "would be," "will allow,"  "intends to," "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.  Such
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties,  including but not limited to
changes in economic conditions in the Company's market area, changes in policies
by regulatory agencies,  fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the
Company's market area and  competition,  all or some of which could cause actual
results  to differ  materially  from  historical  earnings  and those  presently
anticipated or projected.

     The Company  wishes to caution  readers not to place undue  reliance on any
such  forward-looking  statements,  which  speak only as of the date  made,  and
advises readers that various factors,  including  regional and national economic
conditions,  substantial  changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and
other risks of lending and investment  activities and competitive and regulatory
factors,  could affect the Company's  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 update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated
events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

General

     The  principal  business  of the  Company  has  historically  consisted  of
attracting  deposits  from the  general  public,  and  making  loans  secured by
residential real estate. The Company's profitability is primarily dependent upon
its net interest income,  which is the difference between interest income on its
loan and  investment  portfolio and interest paid on deposits and other borrowed
funds.  Net  interest  income is directly  affected by the  relative  amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities and the interest rates
earned or paid on such amounts. The Company's  profitability is also affected by
the provision for loan losses and the level of non-interest income and expenses.
Noninterest  income consists  primarily of service charges and other fees, gains
(losses) on sales of assets and income from real estate operations. Non-interest
expense  includes  salaries  and  employee  benefits,  real  estate  operations,
occupancy of premises,  federal  deposit  insurance  premiums,  data  processing
expenses and other operating expenses.

     StateFed  Financial  generally  has sought to enhance its net  earnings by,
among  other  things,  maintaining  asset  quality  and levels of capital  above
federally   required   minimum   standards  and  by   controlling   general  and
administrative  expenses.  Although  no  assurances  can be  made  about  future
periods, the Company's results in these areas have enabled it to be consistently
profitable and well capitalized.

     The operating  results of the Company are also affected by general economic
conditions,  the  monetary  and  fiscal  policies  of federal  agencies  and the
policies of agencies that regulate financial institutions.  StateFed Financial's
cost of funds is  influenced  by interest  rates on  competing  investments  and
general  market rates of interest.  Lending  activities  are  influenced  by the
demand for real estate loans and other types of loans, which is in turn affected
by the interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic  conditions
affecting loan demand and the availability of funds for lending activities.

     StateFed Financial's basic mission is to maintain a strong capital position
and  continue  to record  core  earnings  while  serving  its  local  community.
Specifically,  it offers a range of customer  services and  products,  including
deposit  accounts  and  loans  with a special  emphasis  on  one-to-four  family
mortgage  lending and, to a lesser  extent,  multi-family  and  commercial  real
estate lending.  Yet smaller portions of the Company's loans receivable consists
of  construction  and  consumer  loans.  Management  has focused on ARM loans in
recent years,  achieving a loan portfolio  consisting of 50.89% fixed rate loans
and 49.11% adjustable rate loans at June 30, 1998.

Financial Condition

     Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended June 30,1998 and June 30, 1997.

     The Company's total assets increased from $85.7 million at June 30, 1997 to
$89.8  million at June 30,  1998,  an increase of $4.1  million,  or 4.81%.  The
increase was primarily due to the increase in cash and cash  equivalents of $5.8
million,  the increase in property  acquired in settlement of loans of $952,500,
and the  increase  in  loans  receivable  of  $802,000.  The  increase  in loans
receivable was funded primarily from a decrease in investment in certificates of
deposit held for  investment of $3.0 million and an increase in deposits of $3.3
million.

     Net loans  increased  $802,000 from $68.2 million at June 30, 1997 to $69.0
million at June 30,  1998.  The  increase in the loan  portfolio  was  comprised
primarily  of $16.5  million in mortgage  loans  originated  and $2.2 million in
purchased loans, partially offset by $18.2 million in principal repayments.

     Total  deposits  increased $3.3 million from $50.3 million at June 30, 1997
to $53.7 million at June 30, 1998.  During fiscal 1998,  certificates of deposit
increased $3.2 million,  money market  accounts  increased by $313,000,  and NOW
accounts increased  $343,000,  while passbook accounts decreased  $538,000.  The
Company  did not offer any  special  marketing  programs  during the 1998 fiscal
year.

     Total  stockholders'  equity increased $ 851,300 from $15.2 million at June
30, 1997 to $16.1  million at June 30,  1998.  The increase  was  primarily  the
result of net  income of $1.0  million,  exercised  stock  options  of  $67,200,
amortization of recognition and retention plan ("RRP") awards and allocations to
the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") totaling  $200,900,  and the increase
in  unrealized  gains on available  for sale  securities  of $62,500,  offset by
$184,000  expended for the  repurchase of 10,000 shares of Company  common stock
and dividends declared totaling $312,200.

     Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996.

     The Company's total assets increased from $76.7 million at June 30, 1996 to
$85.7  million at June 30, 1997,  an increase of $9.0  million,  or 11.73%.  The
increase was primarily due to the increase in loans  receivable of $5.5 million,
the increase in investments available-for-sale of $1.1 million, and the increase
in cash and cash  equivalents  of $1.1  million,  funded  primarily  from a $4.6
million increase in deposits and a $4.0 million increase in FHLB advances.

     Net loans  increased $5.5 million,  or 8.7%, from $62.7 million at June 30,
1996 to $68.2 million at June 30, 1997.  The increase in the loan  portfolio was
comprised primarily of mortgage loans originated.

     Total  deposits  increased $4.6 million from $45.7 million at June 30, 1996
to $50.3 million at June 30, 1997.  During fiscal 1997,  certificates of deposit
increased  $4.8  million,  money market  accounts  increased  by $163,000  while
passbook accounts decreased $180,000, and NOW accounts decreased $159,000.

     Total borrowed funds increased to $19.0 million at June 30, 1997 from $15.0
million at June 30, 1996.  The increase  consisted of advances  from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. The funds were used primarily to to fund increases
in loan demand.

     Total  stockholders'  equity increased  $305,000 from $14.9 million at June
30, 1996 to $15.2  million at June 30,  1997.  The increase  was  primarily  the
result  of  net  income  of  $921,000,   exercised  stock  options  of  $76,400,
amortization of recognition and retention plan ("RRP") awards and allocations to
the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") totaling  $163,000,  and the increase
in  unrealized  gains on available  for sale  securities  of $80,000,  offset by
$621,000  expended for the  repurchase of 37,400 shares of Company  common stock
and dividends declared totaling $315,000.

Results of Operations

     Comparison of Fiscal Years ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997.

     General.  Net income for the year ended June 30,  1997 was  $1,017,000,  an
increase  of $96,000  compared to net income for the year ended June 30, 1997 of
$921,000.  The increase was primarily  the result of a decrease in  non-



                                       7
<PAGE>


interest  expense  of  $169,900  and a  decrease  in  income  taxes of  $12,400,
partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income of $69,100 and an increase
in the provision for loan losses of $16,000.

     Interest  Income.  Interest income  increased  $415,500 to $6.8 million for
fiscal  1998  compared  to $6.4  million  for fiscal  1997 due  primarily  to an
increase in the volume of loans receivable,  and investment securities and other
assets.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $416,800 from $3.6 million for
fiscal 1997 to $4.0 million in fiscal 1998. The increase was due to the increase
in the balance of certificates of deposit.

     Provision  for Loan Losses.  The  provision for loan losses for fiscal 1998
was $52,000,  an increase of $16,000 compared to the year ended June 30, 1997 of
$36,000.  The amounts provided during the fiscal year were based on management's
quarterly  analysis of the  allowance  for loan  losses,  based on,  among other
things, the condition of the loan portfolio,  the local economy,  and regulatory
comments.  Although the Company  maintains  its  allowance  for loan losses at a
level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential  losses,  there
can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that
additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods. In
addition, the Company's determination as to the amount of the allowance for loan
losses  is  subject  to review by the  regulatory  agencies  which can order the
establishment of additional general or specific allowances.

     Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income decreased from $670,000 in fiscal
1997 to $601,000 in fiscal 1998. The decrease of $69,000 is primarily the result
of a $114,100  decrease  in gains on sales of real  estate,  offset by a $36,700
increase in investment in real estate  operations and a $8,400 increase in other
non-interest income.

     Non-Interest  Expense.  Non-interest expense decreased from $2.0 million in
fiscal 1997 to $1.8 million in fiscal 1998. The decrease of $170,000,  or 8.53%,
is primarily the result of a decrease in the Savings Association  Insurance Fund
special  assessment of $291,000,  a decrease in  advertising  of $19,000,  and a
decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance  premiums of $30,000,  partially offset by
an increase in  investment  real estate  operations  of $23,000,  an increase in
other  non-interest  expense of $22,000,  an increase in salaries  and  employee
benefits  of  $96,000,  an increase  in  occupancy  expense of  $14,000,  and an
increase in data processing services of $15,000.

     Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $490,000 in fiscal 1998 compared
to  $503,000 in fiscal  1997,  a decrease of  $13,000.  Income  taxes  decreased
primarily due to tax benefits of tax credits on investments.

     Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996.

     General.  Net  Income for the year ended  June 30,  1997 was  $921,000,  an
increase  of $38,000  compared to net income for the year ended June 30, 1996 of
$883,000.  The increase was  primarily the result of an increase in net interest
income of $190,000,  an increase in non-interest  income of $200,000,  partially
offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $312,000, an increase in income
taxes of $27,000 and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $12,000.

     Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $190,000,  or 7.34% from
$2.6 million for the year ended June 30, 1996 to $2.8 million for the year ended
June 30, 1997.

     Interest  Income.  Interest income  increased  $622,000 to $6.4 million for
fiscal 1997  compared to $5.8  million for the fiscal 1996 due  primarily  to an
increase in average loans receivable of $7.1 million.

     Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $431,000 from $3.2 million in
fiscal 1996 to $3.6 million in fiscal 1997. The increase was due to the increase
in the  balance of  advances  from the FHLB and to an increase in the balance of
certificates of deposit.

     Provision  for Loan Losses.  The  provision for loan losses for fiscal 1997
was $36,000,  an increase of $12,000 compared to the year ended June 30, 1996 of
$24,000.  The amounts provided during the fiscal year were based on management's
quarterly  analysis of the  allowance  for loan  losses,  based on,  among other
things, the condition of the loan portfolio,  the local economy,  and regulatory
comments.  Although the Company  maintains  its  allowance  for loan losses at a
level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential  losses,  there
can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts of that
additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods. In
addition, the Company's determination as to the amount of the allowance for loan
losses  is  subject  to review by the  regulatory  agencies  which can order the
establishment of additional general or specific allowances.

     Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased from $470,000 in fiscal
1996 to $670,000 in fiscal  1997.  The  increase  of $200,000 is  primarily  the
result of a $117,000  increase in gains on sales of real estate,  an increase of
$9,000 in real estate  operation  income,  an increase in net realized  gains on
sales of  available-for-sale  securities  of  $24,000,  and an increase in other
non-interest income of $49,000.

     Non-Interest  Expense.  Non-interest expense increased from $1.7 million in
fiscal 1996 to $2.0 million in fiscal 1997. The increase of $312,000,  or 18.5%,
is primarily the result of an increase in the Savings Association Insurance Fund
special  assessment  of  $291,000,  an increase in  advertising  of $35,000,  an
increase in  occupancy  expense of $8,000 and an increase in other  non-interest
expense of $27,000, partially offset by a decrease of $39,000 in Federal Deposit
Insurance   premiums  and  a  decrease  of  $7,000  in  investment  real  estate
operations.

     Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $503,000 in fiscal 1997 compared
to  $475,000  in fiscal  1996,  an  increase  of $28,000 or 5.9%.  Income  taxes
increased primarily due to the increase in net income.

Asset/Liability Management

     The  measurement and analysis of the exposure of the Association to changes
in the interest rate environment is referred to as asset/liability management. A
primary objective of asset/liability management is to manage interest rate risk.
The Association  monitors its  asset/liability mix on an ongoing basis and, from
time to time,  may  institute  certain  changes in its product mix and asset and
liability maturities.

     The Association  focuses  lending  efforts toward offering  adjustable-rate
loan products as an alternative to more traditional  fixed-rate  mortgage loans.
At June 30, 1998, the Company had $34.9 million of  adjustable-rate  loans which
comprised over 49.11% of the Association's  loan portfolio.  StateFed  Financial
has not historically sold its loans.

     The  primary  objective  of the  Association's  investment  strategy  is to
provide  liquidity  necessary to meet funding needs as well as to address daily,
cyclical and long-term changes in the asset/liability mix, while contributing to
profitability  by providing a stable flow of  dependable  earnings.  Investments
generally include interest-bearing deposits in other federally insured financial
institutions,  FHLB stock,  U.S.  Government  securities,  and certain issues of
corporate equity securities.

     Generally,  the  investment  policy of the  Association  is to invest funds
among various  categories of investments and maturities based upon the Company's
need for liquidity, to achieve the proper balance between its desire to minimize
risk and maximize  yield, to provide  collateral for borrowings,  and to fulfill
the Association's asset/liability management policies.

     StateFed  Financial's  cost of funds  responds to changes in interest rates
due to the relatively short-term nature of its deposit portfolio.  Consequently,
the results of operations  are  influenced by the levels of short-term  interest
rates.  The Association  offers a range of maturities on its deposit products at
competitive rates and monitors the maturities on an ongoing basis.

     An approach used by  management  to quantify  interest rate risk is the net
portfolio  value ("NPV")  analysis.  In essence,  this approach  calculates  the
difference  between the present value of  liabilities,  expected cash flows from
assets and cash flows from off balance sheet  contracts.  Under OTS regulations,
an  institution's  "normal"  level  of  interest  rate  risk in the  event of an
immediate and  sustained 200 basis point change in interest  rates is a decrease
in the  institution's  NPV in an amount not exceeding 2% of the present value of
its assets.  Pursuant to this regulation,  thrift institutions with greater than
"normal"  interest rate exposure must take a deduction  from their total capital
available  to meet  their  risk-based  capital  requirement.  The amount of that
deduction is one-half of the  difference  between (a) the  institution's  actual
calculated  exposure to the 200 basis point  interest  rate increase or decrease
(whichever  results  in the  greater  pro  forma  decrease  in NPV)  and (b) its
"normal"  level of  exposure  which is 2% of the  present  value of its  assets.
Savings institutions, however, with less than $300 million in assets and a total
capital ratio in excess of 12%, will be exempt from this requirement  unless the
OTS determines  otherwise.  The OTS has postponed the implementation of the rule
until  further  notice.  Based upon its asset size and capital level at June 30,
1998, the Company would qualify for an exemption from this rule.

     The following table sets forth, at June 30, 1998, an analysis of the Bank's
interest  rate risk as measured by the estimated  changes in NPV resulting  from
instantaneous  and  sustained  parallel  shifts in the yield curve (+/-400 basis
points, measured in 100 basis point increments).

     Certain assumptions  utilized in assessing the interest rate risk of thrift
institutions  were employed in preparing the preceding table.  These assumptions
relate to interest rates,  loan prepayment  rates,  deposit decay rates, and the
market values of certain assets under the various  interest rate  scenarios.  It
was also assumed that  delinquency  rates will not change as a result of changes
in interest rates although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.
Even if  interest  rates  change  in the  designated  amounts,  there  can be no
assurance that the Company's  assets and liabilities  would perform as set forth
above. In addition,  a change in U.S.  Treasury rates in the designated  amounts
accompanied  by a change in the shape of the  Treasury  yield  curve would cause
significantly different changes to the NPV than indicated above.

Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields

     The  following  table  presents for the periods  indicated the total dollar
amount of interest income from average interest earning assets and the resultant
yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest bearing liabilities,
expressed both in dollars and rates.  No tax equivalent  adjustments  were made.
All average balances are monthly average balances.  Non-accruing loans have been
included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Rate/Volume Analysis

     The  following  schedule  presents the dollar amount of changes in interest
income and interest or decrease expense for major components of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing  liabilities.  It distinguishes between the increase
or decrease related to changes in average  outstanding  balances and that due to
the volatility of interest rates. For each category of  interest-earning  assets
and   interest-bearing   liabilities,   information   is   provided  on  changes
attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old
rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume).
For purposes of this table,  changes attributable to both rate and volume, which
cannot be segregated  have been allocated  proportionately  to the change due to
volume and the change due to rate.

Interest Rate Spread

     The  Company's  results  of  operations  are  determined  primarily  by net
interest income and, to a lesser extent,  fee income,  miscellaneous  income and
operating  expenses.  Net interest  income is  determined  by the interest  rate
spread  between the yields earned on its  interest-earning  assets and the rates
paid  on   interest-bearing   liabilities   and  by  the  relative   amounts  of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

     The following table sets forth the weighted average effective interest rate
earned  by the  Company  on its loan and  investment  portfolios,  the  weighted
average  effective cost of the Company's  deposits and borrowings,  the interest
rate   spread  of  the   Company   and  the  net  yield  on   weighted   average
interest-earning assets at year end.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The OTS requires minimum levels of liquid assets. OTS regulations presently
require  the  Company to  maintain  an average  daily  balance of liquid  assets
(United State Treasury,  federal agency, and other investments having maturities
of five years or less)  equal to at least 5.0% of the sum of its  average  daily
balance of net withdrawable  deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year
or  less.  Such  requirements  may be  changed  from  time to time by the OTS to
reflect changing economic conditions. Such investments are intended to provide a
source of relatively liquid funds upon which the Company may rely, if necessary,
to fund deposit  withdrawals and other  short-term  funding needs. The Company's
regulatory  liquidity at June 30, 1998 was 10.0%.  In addition to the regulatory
liquidity  requirement,  the Company is required to maintain  short-term  liquid
assets, as defined,  equal to 1.0% of the average sum of net withdrawal deposits
and other liabilities,  as defined.  StateFed  Financial's  short-term liquidity
ratio at June 30, 1998 was 10.0%.

     The Company's primary sources of funds consist of deposits,  FHLB advances,
repayments  of loans and interest  earned on  certificates  of deposits in other
institutions.  Management  believes  that loan  repayments  and other sources of
funds will be adequate to meet the Company's foreseeable liquidity needs.

     The primary financing  activity of the Company during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1998 has been the increasing deposit base. The net increase in deposits
was $3.3 million during fiscal year 1998.

     Liquidity  management  is  both a daily  and  long-term  responsibility  of
management.  The Company  adjusts its  investments  in liquid  assets based upon
management's  assessment  of (i) expected  loan demand,  (ii)  expected  deposit
flows,  (iii)  yields  available  on  interest-bearing  deposits  and  (iv)  the
objectives  of its  asset/liability  management  program.  Excess  liquidity  is
invested generally in  interest-bearing  overnight deposits and other short-term
government and agency  obligations.  If the Company  requires  additional  funds
beyond its internal ability to generate,  it has additional  borrowing  capacity
with the FHLB of Des Moines.

     The Company  anticipates  that it will have  sufficient  funds available to
meet current loan  commitments.  At June 30, 1998,  the Company had  outstanding
commitments to extend credit which  amounted to  $1,644,000.  The Company is not
aware  of any  trends,  events  or  uncertainties  which  will  have or that are
reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company's liquidity,  capital
resources or operations.

     Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30,
1998,  totaled  approximately  $29.6  million.  Based on historical  experience,
management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with
the Association.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that the Association can
retain all such deposits. At June 30, 1998, the Association had $19.0 million in
advances from the FHLB of Des Moines outstanding.

     As a savings and loan holding  company of a federal  stock savings and loan
association,  the Company's capital currently  consists of stockholders'  equity
including  retained  earnings.  At June 30, 1998,  the  Company's  stockholders'
equity totaled $16.1 million, or 17.91% of assets.

     At June 30,  1998,  the  Association  had tangible and core capital of $9.4
million,   or  11.18%  of  adjusted  total  assets,   respectively,   which  was
approximately  $8.1 million and $6.6 million above the minimum  requirements  of
1.5% and 4.0% respectively, of the adjusted total assets in effect on that date.
On June 30,  1998,  the  Association  had  risk-based  capital  of $9.6  million
(including $9.4 million in core capital),  or 19.31% of risk-weighted  assets of
$49.8  million.  This amount was $5.6 million above the 8% requirement in effect
on that  date.  The  Association  is  presently  in  compliance  with the  fully
phased-in capital requirements.

Impact of Year 2000

     Much has been written about the potential Year 2000 problems that may arise
with  information   technology   systems.   Many  computer  programs  and  other
technological devices that can only distinguish the final two digits of the year
entered (a common  programming  practice in earlier  years) are expected to read
entries for the year 2000 as the year 1900 and compute  payments,  interest  and
other information  incorrectly or may be unable to function.  Rapid and accurate
data processing is essential to the operation of the Company. Data processing is
also  essential  to most other  financial  institutions  and the  customers  and
suppliers of the Company.

     A  third-party  hardware and software  company  provides the material  data
processing of the Company.  This hardware and software  provider has advised the
Company  that it expects to be Year 2000  compliant  before the end of  calendar
year 1998.  However,  if the hardware and software  provider is unable to become
compliant  with Year 2000 issues,  the Company may experience  significant  data
processing  delays,  mistakes or failures.  These  delays,  mistakes or failures
could have a significant  adverse impact on the financial  condition and results
of operations of the Company.

     During 1998, the Company, in the normal course of operations, installed new
hardware and software supplied by the third-party data processor. The Company is
conducting tests of the hardware and software for Year 2000 compliance. Based on
the results of these tests and its  evaluation  of other  hardware  and software
used  by the  Company,  including  other  technological  equipment  used  by the
Company, management does not anticipate incurring significant additional expense
to implement additional corrective actions.

     Management  believes that  appropriate  actions have been taken to evaluate
Year 2000 risks and to implement  procedures  necessary to address  those risks.
Management  has also  developed  a  contingency  plan that  outlines  courses of
actions that would be followed should the Company encounter computer  processing
or general operational problems arising from the Year 2000 issue.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

     The Consolidated  Financial  Statements and Notes thereto  presented herein
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
which require the measurement of financial position and results of operations in
terms  of  historical  dollars  without  considering  changes  in  the  relative
purchasing  power of money  over  time  because  of  inflation.  The  impact  of
inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike
most  industrial  companies,  virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the
Company  are  monetary  in  nature.  As a  result,  interest  rates  have a more
significant  impact on the  Company's  performance  than the  effects of general
levels  of  inflation.  Interest  rates  do not  necessarily  move  in the  same
direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

     The Financial  Accounting  standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income" ("SFAS
No. 130"), in June 1997. This Statement  establishes standards for the reporting
and display of  comprehensive  income and its  components  (revenues,  expenses,
gains and losses) in a full set of  general-purpose  financial  statements.  The
Statement requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other  comprehensive
income by their nature in a financial  statement and (b) display the accumulated
balance of other  comprehensive  income  separately  from retained  earnings and
additional  paid-in  capital in the equity  section of a statement  of financial
position.  The Statement is effective for fiscal years  beginning after December
15, 1997 and  requires  reclassification  of  financial  statements  for earlier
periods provided for comparative purposes.

     The FASB also issued SFAS No. 131 in June 1997, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information".  This Statement establishes standards
for the way that public business  enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual  financial  statements  and requires  that those  enterprises
report  selected  information  about  operating  segments  in interim  financial
reports  issued to  shareholders.  It also  establishes  standards  for  related
disclosures about products and services,  geographic areas, and major customers.
This Statement  supercedes SFAS No. 14,  "Financial  Reporting for Segments of a
Business".  The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997. In the initial year of adoption,  comparative  information for earlier
years is to be restated.

     The Company  expects to adopt these  statements  when required.  Management
believes  adoption  will not have a material  effect on  financial  position and
results of operations, nor will adoption require additional capital resources.

responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 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, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
StateFed  Financial  Corporation and its subsidiary as of June 30, 1998 and 1997
and the  consolidated  results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three  years in the  period  ended  June 30,  1998,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         STATEFED FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BUSINESS - StateFed Financial Corporation (the Company),  under the laws of
     the State of Delaware,  is a thrift holding company.  The Company owns 100%
     of the  outstanding  capital  stock  of  State  Federal  Savings  and  Loan
     Association  (the  Association).  Its  primary  business  activity  is  the
     operation of the Association.

     The Association provides a full range of banking services to individual and
     corporate  customers from its two offices located in Des Moines,  Iowa. The
     Association's wholly-owned subsidiary, State Service Corporation,  owns and
     operates residential apartment units.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include
     the accounts of StateFed Financial  Corporation,  State Federal Savings and
     Loan   Association   and  its   wholly-owned   subsidiary,   State  Service
     Corporation.  All significant  intercompany  accounts and transactions have
     been eliminated in consolidation.

     USE OF ESTIMATES - The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity
     with generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make
     estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of  revenues  and
     expenses  during  the  reporting   period.   Actual  results  could  differ
     significantly from those estimates.

     Material estimates that are particularly  susceptible to significant change
     in the  near-term  relate to the  determination  of the  allowance for loan
     losses and the valuation of assets acquired in connection with foreclosures
     or in satisfaction of loans.  In connection with the  determination  of the
     allowances  for  loan  losses  and the  valuation  of  assets  acquired  by
     foreclosure,  management  obtains  independent  appraisals for  significant
     properties.

     Management  believes that the allowances for losses on loans and valuations
     of assets  acquired by  foreclosure  are  adequate and  appropriate.  While
     management  uses  available  information  to recognize  losses on loans and
     assets  acquired  by  foreclosure,  future loss may be  accruable  based on
     changes in economic  conditions,  particularly  the economic  conditions of
     central Iowa. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part
     of their examination process,  periodically review the Company's allowances
     for losses on loans and valuations of assets acquired by foreclosure.  Such
     agencies  may require the Company to recognize  additional  losses based on
     their  judgment  of  information  available  to them at the  time of  their
     examination.

     INVESTMENTS  IN   CERTIFICATES   OF  DEPOSIT  -  The  Company   invests  in
     certificates  of  deposit  issued  by  other  federally  insured  financial
     institutions  located  throughout the United States. The Company limits its
     investments  in  certificates  to $100,000 per financial  institution.  The
     investments in  certificates  of deposit are carried at cost.  Brokerage or
     other fees paid to acquire the  certificates  are capitalized and amortized
     against  interest income,  using the interest method,  over the term of the
     certificate.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

     INVESTMENT  AND OTHER  SECURITIES - Investments  in debt  securities  which
     management  has the  intent  and the  Company  has the  ability  to hold to
     maturity are carried at cost,  adjusted for purchase premiums or discounts.
     Purchase  premiums or discounts are recognized in interest income using the
     interest method over the period to maturity.

     Debt securities to be held for indefinite  periods of time,  including debt
     securities  that management  intends to use as part of its  asset/liability
     strategy,  or that may be sold in response  to changes in  interest  rates,
     changes in  prepayment  risk,  the need to increase  regulatory  capital or
     other similar factors, are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at
     fair value.  Equity  securities are also carried at fair value.  Unrealized
     holding gains and losses, net of tax, on securities  available for sale are
     reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity.

     The  Association,  as a member of the  Federal  Home Loan Bank  System,  is
     required to maintain an  investment  in capital  stock of the Federal  Home
     Loan Bank of Des  Moines  (FHLB).  The  stock is  recorded  at cost,  which
     represents anticipated redemption value.

     Gains and losses on the sale of investment  securities are determined using
     the specific identification method.

     LOANS  RECEIVABLE  -  Loans  receivable  are  stated  at  unpaid  principal
     balances,  less an allowance  for loan losses,  deferred  loan  origination
     fees,  and  discounts.  The  Company has both the intent and the ability to
     hold loans receivable to maturity.

     A valuation  allowance  is provided  for  estimated  losses on loans when a
     probable and reasonably  estimable  loss or decline in value occurs.  Loans
     are reviewed periodically to determine potential problems at an early date.
     The Company's experience has shown that foreclosures on loans can result in
     some loss.  Therefore,  in addition to an allowance for specific loans, the
     Company makes a provision  for losses based in part on experience  and part
     on prevailing  market  conditions.  Additions to allowances  are charged to
     earnings.

     Uncollectible  interest on loans that are contractually past due is charged
     off,  or  an  allowance  is  established  based  on  management's  periodic
     evaluation.  The allowance is  established  by a charge to interest  income
     equal to all  interest  previously  accrued,  and  income  is  subsequently
     recognized  only to the extent that cash  payments are received  until,  in
     management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and
     principal payments returns to normal, in which case the loan is returned to
     accrual status. The Company had non-accrual loans with balances aggregating
     $96,000 and $810,000 at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

      The Company defers loan fees (net of direct loan origination costs)
      received in the origination process, and recognizes those fees over the
      contractual life of the related loan as a yield adjustment.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

     PROPERTY  ACQUIRED  IN  SETTLEMENT  OF  LOANS -  Property  acquired  in the
     settlement  of loans,  or where  the loan is  in-substance  foreclosed,  is
     initially recorded at the lower of fair value (less estimated costs to sell
     the real estate) at the date of  foreclosure,  or the loan  balance.  Costs
     relating to  improvement  of the property are  capitalized,  whereas  costs
     relating to the holding of the property are expensed.  Valuation allowances
     are  established  and adjusted  periodically  by management if the carrying
     value of the property exceeds its fair value,  less estimated costs to sell
     the property.

     OFFICE  PROPERTY  AND  EQUIPMENT  AND REAL  ESTATE  HELD FOR  INVESTMENT  -
     Property  and  equipment  acquired  by the  Company  is  recorded  at cost.
     Depreciation is provided using  straight-line  or accelerated  methods over
     the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

     FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS - The Company does not participate in  interest-rate
     exchange agreements, hedging or other similar financial instruments.

     ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

     INCOME  TAXES - The Company  provides  for  deferred  income taxes using an
     asset-and-liability  method  of  accounting  for  income  taxes.  Under the
     asset-and-liability  method,  deferred  income taxes are recognized for the
     tax consequences of "temporary  differences" by applying enacted  statutory
     tax rates to differences  between financial  statement carrying amounts and
     the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.

     The Company  and its  subsidiary  file a  consolidated  federal  income tax
     return and separate state income tax returns.

     EFFECT OF NEW FINANCIAL  ACCOUNTING  STANDARDS - The  Financial  Accounting
     Standards Board (FASB) issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard
     No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income," in June 1997.  This Statement
     establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
     and its components (revenues,  expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
     general-purpose  financial  statements.  The  Statement  requires  that  an
     enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature
     in a financial  statement and (b) display the accumulated  balance of other
     comprehensive  income  separately  from  retained  earnings and  additional
     paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position.
     The Statement is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15,
     1997 and  requires  reclassification  of financial  statements  for earlier
     periods provided for comparative purposes.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

     The FASB  also  issued  SFAS No.  131,  in June  1997,  "Disclosures  about
     Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related  Information".   This  Statement
     establishes  standards for the way that public business  enterprises report
     information  about operating  segments in annual  financial  statements and
     requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
     segments  in interim  financial  reports  issued to  shareholders.  It also
     establishes  standards for related disclosures about products and services,
     geographic areas, and major customers.  This Statement  supercedes SFAS No.
     14,  "Financial  Reporting  for Segments of a Business".  The  Statement is
     effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after  December  15,  1997.  In the
     initial year of adoption,  comparative  information for earlier years is to
     be restated.

     The Company  expects to adopt these  statements  when required.  Management
     believes adoption will not have a material effect on financial position and
     results  of  operations,  nor  will  adoption  require  additional  capital
     resources.

     EARNINGS PER SHARE - Basic  earnings  per share is computed  based upon the
     weighted-average  shares outstanding during the period,  less shares in the
     ESOP that are unallocated and not committed to be released. Weighed-average
     common shares outstanding  totaled  1,487,881,  1,489,648 and 1,545,622 for
     the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     Diluted  earnings  per  share is  computed  by  considering  common  shares
     outstanding  and dilutive  potential  common  shares to be issued under the
     Company's   stock  option  plan.   Weighed-average   common  shares  deemed
     outstanding for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share totaled
     1,545,208,  1,532,881 and 1,593,337 for the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997
     and 1996, respectively.

     During fiscal 1998, the Company began presenting earning per share pursuant
     to the  provisions of SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share."  Accordingly,  the
     fiscal 1997 and 1996 earnings per share  presentations have been revised to
     conform to SFAS No. 128.

     STOCK SPLIT - On October 22,  1997,  the Board of  Directors  authorized  a
     one-for-one common stock split effective October 31, 1997, thereby doubling
     the number of issued and  outstanding  common shares and decreasing the par
     value of each share from $.01 to $.005.  All references in the accompanying
     financial  statements  to the number of common shares and per share amounts
     have been restated to reflect the stock split.

     FINANCIAL  STATEMENT  PRESENTATION  - Certain items in prior year financial
     statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1998 presentation.

     A significant  portion of loans receivable  consist of first mortgage loans
     issued to finance purchases of real estate,  principally one-to-four family
     residences.  The real estate is located primarily in the greater Des Moines
     area.  There is no  significant  concentration  of credit  risk to specific
     industries.

NOTE E - LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET - Continued

     The  economic  condition  of the  Company's  market  area  can  affect  its
     borrowers'  ability to repay their  loans.  The Company has no  significant
     restructured troubled debt.

     The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
     in the  normal  course  of  business  to meet  the  financial  needs of its
     customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.
     These financial instruments primarily include commitments to extend credit.
     These  instruments  involve,  to varying  degrees,  elements  of credit and
     interest  rate risk in excess of the amount  recognized in the Statement of
     Financial Condition.

     The Company's  exposure to credit loss in the event of  non-performance  by
     the  other  party  to the  financial  instrument  for loan  commitments  is
     represented by the  contractual  amount of those  instruments.  The Company
     uses  the  same  credit  policies  in  making  commitments  as it does  for
     on-balance sheet instruments.

     At June 30,  1998,  the Company had  outstanding  commitments  to fund real
     estate loans of $1,644,011.  The commitments  were primarily for adjustable
     interest rate commercial real estate loans.

     Loan  commitments  are agreements to lend to customers as long as there are
     no violations of any conditions  established in the contracts.  Commitments
     generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination  clauses and may
     require  payment of a fee.  Since some of the  commitments  are expected to
     expire  without  being  drawn  upon,  the total  commitment  amounts do not
     necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each
     customer's   creditworthiness  on  a  case-by-case  basis.  The  amount  of
     collateral  obtained,  if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of
     credit,  is  based  on  management's  credit  evaluation  of the  borrower.
     Collateral held is primarily  residential  and commercial real estate,  but
     may include autos, consumer goods and other assets.

     Loan  customers  of  the  Company  include  certain   executive   officers,
     employees,  members of the board of directors, and their related interests.
     All loans to this group were made in the  ordinary  course of  business  at
     prevailing  terms  and  conditions.  Such  loans at June 30,  1998 and 1997
     amounted to $1,579,000 and $1,062,000,  respectively. During the year ended
     June 30,  1998,  there were new loans to this group  totaling  $774,000 and
     repayments totaling $257,000.

     The Company serviced participation loans with outstanding balances totaling
     $3,974,000  and  $7,374,000  at June 30,  1998 and 1997  respectively.  The
     Company's portion of these loans totaled  $2,110,020 and $3,414,000 at June
     30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

                                         =========     =========     =========

     Impaired loans as of June 30, 1998 and 1997 totaled  approximately  $83,000
     and   $192,000,   respectively.   The  total   allowance  for  loan  losses
     specifically  related to these  loans was $800 and $5,100 on June 30,  1998
     and 1997,  respectively.  Interest  income on impaired  loans of $1,900 and
     $3,800 was recognized  for cash payments  received for the years ended June
     30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     As of June 30, 1998,  the Company had a net  investment of  $68,979,770  in
     loans  receivable.  These loans  possess an inherent  credit risk given the
     uncertainty  regarding the borrower's compliance with the terms of the loan
     agreement. To reduce credit risk, the loans are secured by varying forms of
     collateral,  including  first  mortgages on real estate,  liens on personal
     property,  savings  accounts,  etc. It is generally  Company policy to file
     liens on titled property taken as collateral on loans,  such as real estate
     and autos. In the event of default, the Company's policy is to foreclose or
     repossess collateral on which it has filed liens.

     In the event that any borrower  completely  failed to comply with the terms
     of the loan  agreement and the related  collateral  proved  worthless,  the
     Company would incur a loss equal to the loan balance.

NOTE M - INCOME TAXES

     Prior to the year ended June 30, 1997, the savings and loan  subsidiary was
     allowed a special  bad debt  deduction  based on a  percentage  of  taxable
     income  (8%),  or on  specified  experience  formulas,  subject  to certain
     limitations  based on aggregate  loan balances at the end of the year.  The
     special  bad debt  deduction  has been  repealed  for thrift  institutions.
     Legislation also requires thrifts to recapture, over a six-year period, bad
     debt  reserves  added  since  January  1,  1988  (approximately  $340,000).
     Recapture of pre-1988 reserves (approximately  $1,353,000) is required only
     under limited  circumstances,  such as if a thrift pays dividends in excess
     of its earnings and profits or liquidates. The recapture is not expected to
     have a material effect on results of operations as the Company has provided
     a deferred tax liability for special bad debt  deductions  since January 1,
     1988.  The  Company,  in  accordance  with SFAS No. 109, has not recorded a
     deferred tax liability of approximately  $520,000  relating to pre-1988 bad
     debt reserves.

     Taxes on income are comprised of:

NOTE N - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

     RECOGNITION  AND RETENTION  PLAN (RRP) - The Company has a Recognition  and
     Retention Plan that provides directors, officers and other key employees of
     the Company with a proprietary interest in the Company in a manner designed
     to encourage such persons to remain with the Company.  Eligible  directors,
     officers and other key  employees of the Company earn (i.e.,  become vested
     in) shares of common  stock  covered by the award at a rate of 25% per year
     starting one year from the date of the grant.  As of June 30, 1998,  all of
     the 68,770 shares  reserved for issuance  under the RRP had been awarded to
     directors,  officers  and other key  employees.  Expense  of  approximately
     $9,600,  $32,100 and $64,300 was  recorded  for the RRP for the years ended
     June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (ESOP) - The Company has also  established an
     ESOP for eligible employees.  Employees with at least 1,000 hours of annual
     service with the Company and who have attained an age of 21 are eligible to
     participate.  The ESOP borrowed $687,700 from the Company to purchase up to
     8% of the common stock or 137,540  shares.  Collateral  for the loan is the
     common stock purchased by the ESOP. The loan is repaid principally from the
     Association's  discretionary contributions to the ESOP over a period of ten
     years  (through  December 31, 2003).  The interest rate for the loan is 7%.
     Shares  purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account for allocation
     among participants as the loan is repaid. Expense of $191,200, $131,100 and
     $137,000  was  recorded  relative  to the ESOP for the years ended June 30,
     1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

NOTE N - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS - Continued

     Contributions  to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account in
     an amount  proportional  to the  repayment  of the ESOP loan are  allocated
     among  ESOP  participants  on the  basis  of  compensation  in the  year of
     allocation.  Benefits  generally  become  100%  vested  after five years of
     credited service. Credit for vesting purposes is given for years of service
     prior to the  effective  date of the  ESOP  (July  1,  1993).  Prior to the
     completion of five years of credited service,  a participant who terminates
     employment for reasons other than death,  normal retirement,  or disability
     will not receive any benefit under the ESOP.  Forfeitures  are  reallocated
     among  remaining  participating   employees,  in  the  same  proportion  as

NOTE N - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS - Continued

     During fiscal year 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123,  "Accounting for
     Stock-Based  Compensation," SFAS No. 123 contains a fair-value based method
     for valuing stock-based  compensation that entities may use. The fair-value
     based  method  measures  compensation  cost at the grant dated based on the
     fair value of the award.  Compensation  is then recognized over the service
     period,  which is usually the vesting period.  Alternatively,  SFAS No. 123
     permits  entities  to  continue  to account  for stock  options and similar
     equity  instruments  under Accounting  Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.
     25,  "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  Entities that continue to
     account for stock  options  using APB  Opinion No. 25 are  required to make
     pro-forma disclosure of net earnings and earnings per share, as if the fair
     value-based  method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.
     Management  has  determined  that the Company will  continue to account for
     stock  based   compensation   using  APB  Opinion  No.  25.  The  pro-forma
     disclosures  required by SFAS No. 123 are not  required as no options  were
     granted by the Company  during the fiscal years ended June 30,  1998,  1997
     and 1996.

     A summary of the status of the  Company's  stock option plan as of June 30,
     1998 and 1997,  and the  changes  during the years  ended on those dates is
     presented below:

     STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION COSTS - Compensation costs related to stock-based
     compensation plans (RRP plan and stock option plan) totaled $9,636, $32,142
     and $64,302 for the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     SIMPLIFIED  EMPLOYEE  PENSION PLAN - During  fiscal year 1997,  the Company
     adopted  a  simplified   employee  pension  plan  (SEP).  The  plan  allows
     employees, over the age of eighteen, to make tax-deferred  contributions to
     the SEP. The Company is also allowed to make discretionary contributions to
     the SEP. No Company discretionary contributions were made to the SEP during
     fiscal years 1998 and 1997.

     EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENTS - The Company has entered  into  certain  employment
     agreements  with key  officers.  Under  the  terms of the  agreements,  the
     employees are entitled to additional  compensation in the event of a change
     in control of the Company and the  employees are  involuntarily  terminated
     within  twelve  months of the  change in  control.  A change in  control is
     generally  triggered  by the  acquisition  or control of 10% or more of the
     common stock.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE O - REGULATORY AND CAPITAL MATTERS

     The  Association  is  subject  to  minimum   regulatory  capital  standards
     promulgated  by the Office of Thrift  Supervision  (the "OTS").  Failure to
     meet minimum capital  requirements  can initiate  certain  mandatory -- and
     possibly  additional  discretionary  --  actions  by  regulators  that,  if
     undertaken,   could  have  a  direct   material  effect  on  its  financial
     statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework
     for prompt  corrective  action,  the Association must meet specific capital
     guidelines that involve quantitative  measures of the Association's assets,
     liabilities,  and  certain  off-balance-sheet  items  as  calculated  under
     regulatory  accounting  practices.  The  Association's  capital amounts and
     classification are also subject to qualitative  judgments by the regulators
     about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

     The minimum capital  standards of the OTS generally require the maintenance
     of regulatory  capital  sufficient to meet each of four tests,  hereinafter
     described as the tangible equity requirement, the core capital requirement,
     the  risk-based  capital  requirement  and the  Tier I  risk-based  capital
     requirement.  The tangible equity requirement provides for minimum tangible
     capital (defined as stockholders'  equity less all intangible assets) equal
     to 1.5% of adjusted total assets. The core capital requirement provides for
     minimum core capital  (tangible  capital plus certain forms of  supervisory
     goodwill and other qualifying  intangible assets) equal to 4.0% of adjusted
     total  assets.  The  risk-based  capital   requirement   provides  for  the
     maintenance of core capital plus general loss  allowances  equal to 8.0% of
     risk-weighted  assets,  while the Tier I risk-based capital  requirement is
     core capital equal to at least 4.0% of  risk-weighed  assets.  In computing
     risk-weighted assets, the Association multiplies the value of each asset on
     its statement of financial  condition by a defined  risk-weighting  factor,
     e.g.,  one-to-four family residential loans carry a risk-weighted factor of
     50%.

     As of June 30, 1998 and 1997,  management believes that the Association met
     all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

     As of June 30, 1998:

NOTE O - REGULATORY AND CAPITAL MATTERS - Continued

     The Association  established a liquidation account when it converted from a
     federally  chartered  mutual  savings bank to a federally  chartered  stock
     savings bank. The  liquidation  account is equal to the  Association's  net
     worth as of the date of the consolidated  financial statements contained in
     the final  prospectus  used to sell the common stock at June 30, 1993.  The
     liquidation  account will be maintained for the benefit of depositors  with
     deposits as of the March 31, 1993 eligibility  record date, who continue to
     maintain their deposits in the Association after  conversion.  In the event
     of a  complete  liquidation  (and  only in such an  event),  each  eligible
     depositor will be entitled to receive a liquidation  distribution  from the
     liquidation  account  in  the  proportionate  amount  of the  then  current
     adjusted   balance  for  deposits   then  held,   before  any   liquidation
     distribution may be made with respect to the  stockholders.  Except for the
     repurchase  of stock and  payment  of  dividends  by the  Association,  the
     existence  of  the  liquidation  account  will  not  restrict  the  use  or
     application of retained earnings.

     Under Federal  regulations,  the  Association may not declare or pay a cash
     dividend  on or  repurchase  any of its stock if the effect  thereof  would
     cause the Association's  regulatory  capital to be reduced below the amount
     required  for  the   liquidation   accounts  or  the   regulatory   capital
     requirements of the OTS. In addition,  banks that before and after proposed
     dividend  distributions  meet  or  exceed  their  fully  phased-in  capital
     requirements, may make capital distributions, with prior notice to the OTS,
     during any calendar year in an amount of (i) up to 100% of its net earnings
     to date  during the year plus an amount  equal to one-half of the amount by
     which its  total  capital  to assets  ratio  exceeded  its fully  phased-in
     capital to assets ratio at the beginning of the year (ii) or 75% of its net
     earnings for the most recent four quarters.

NOTE P - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     SFAS No.  107,  "Disclosures  about Fair Value of  Financial  Instruments",
     requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, both assets
     and liabilities whether or not recognized in the consolidated statements of
     financial  condition,  for which it is  practicable to estimate that value.
     For financial  instruments  where quoted  market prices are not  available,
     fair values are based on estimates  using present value and other valuation
     methods.

     The methods used are greatly affected by the assumptions applied, including
     the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Therefore,  the fair
     values  presented  may not  represent  amounts  that could be  realized  in
     exchange for certain financial instruments.

     The  following  methods  and  assumptions  were  used  by  the  Company  in
     estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments at June 30,
     1998 and 1997:

     Cash and Amounts Due From Depository Institutions - The carrying amounts of
     cash and amounts due from depository  institutions  approximate  their fair
     value.

     Investments  in  Certificates  of Deposits - The fair values  disclosed for
     investments  in  certificates  of deposit are estimated  using a discounted
     cash flow calculation  that applies  interest rates currently  available on
     certificates  to a  schedule  of  aggregated  remaining  maturities  of the
     certificates.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE P - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Continued

     Investment  Securities - Fair values for securities,  excluding  restricted
     equity  securities,  are based on quoted market prices. The carrying values
     of restricted equity securities  (Federal Home Loan Bank stock) approximate
     fair values.

     Loans Receivable - For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have
     no  significant  change in credit  risk,  fair values are based on carrying
     values.  Fair values for fixed-rate  loans are estimated  using  discounted
     cash flow analyses,  using interest rates currently being offered for loans
     with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Fair values for
     impaired  loans  are  estimated  using  discounted  cash flow  analyses  or
     underlying collateral values, where applicable.

     Deposit  Liabilities - The fair values  disclosed for NOW, money market and
     passbook  savings  accounts equal their carrying  amounts.  Fair values for
     certificates  of  deposits  are  estimated  using a  discounted  cash  flow
     calculation   that  applies  interest  rates  currently  being  offered  on
     certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of the
     certificates.

     Advances  from the Federal Home Loan Bank - The fair value of the Company's
     debt  is  estimated  using  discounted  cash  flow  analyses  based  on the
     Company's  current  incremental   borrowing  rates  for  similar  types  of
     borrowing arrangements.

     The estimated  fair values of the Company's  financial  instruments  are as
     follows:
