PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.  Financial Statements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

     The Registrant is not involved in legal  proceedings  involving  amounts in
the aggregate which management  believes are material to the financial condition
and  results of  operations  of the  Registrant.  (Materiality  is  defined  for
accounting  purposes as $250,000 or more) On October 16, 1996,  the Bank learned
that a Minnesota Bank had commenced a repleven lawsuit against a borrower of the
Bank that involves several parties claiming interests in collateral secured by a
General Business Security Agreement of the Bank. The proceedings were filed with
the Circuit Judge, Polk County Courthouse,  Balsam Lake, Wisconsin.  On November
20, 1996, the Bank filed its answer and a third party complaint seeking repleven
of its collateral and money judgments against its borrowers, the guarantors, and
other interested parties.  Repleven judgment was entered in favor of the Bank on
January 15, 1997. A money judgment was filed against a guarantor on December 30,
1996. One of the guarantors filed personal bankruptcy and the Bank was awarded a
non-dischargeable  judgment against the guarantor in the amount of $80,000.  The
Board of  Directors  at its meeting  October 8, 1996,  decided to  increase  the
quarterly  provision  for loan losses to $25,000 until more  information  became
available  to make a reasonable  estimate of any loss that may occur.  The Board
continued  this policy at its meeting held  December 10,  1996,  and  subsequent
meetings  because a reasonable  estimate could not be determined until the legal
issues were resolved.  The Board expects the loss will be identifiable after the
trial  scheduled  for November 9, 1998,  and the loss will be booked  during the
quarter  ending  December 31, 1998.  An auction of the  business  inventory  and
equipment  was held March 26, 1998.  Proceeds of the auction and the recovery of
other equipment total $188,185 and will be held by the court appointed receiver.
Of that amount,  approximately  $72,000 is from the sale of property that is not
disputed by any third parties and should be recovered by the Bank. The remaining
$116,000 will continue to be held by the receiver  pending  further order of the
court.  Attempts to settle the dispute  amongst the parties  were held April 28,
1998,  and at trial  court  ordered  mediation  sessions  held July 10, 1998 and
October 12, 1998; and all but three parties reached  settlement  agreements with
the Bank during the  October  session.  The  proceeds to the Bank of the various
settlement  agreements if  consummated  and an estimate of proposed  settlements
with the remaining  three parties total  approximately  $262,000.  Considering a
current loan balance and costs of $620,000;  plus an overdraft of $80,291;  plus
an estimated  $10,000 of additional  attorneys fees to settle the law suit; less
the estimated  settlement  proceeds of $262,000;  less the current amount in the
allowance  for loan losses of $110,000  allocated to this loan;  would require a
provision  for loan losses of $338,000 for the three  months ended  December 31,
1998,  that  would  result  in an  after-tax  loss  of  approximately  $223,000.
Introducing  this estimated  loss in the allowance for loan losses  calculation,
the anticipated allowance for loan losses balance will be approximately $375,000
at December 31, 1998.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities.

         None.

Item 3.  Defaults upon Senior Securities.

         None.

                      NORTHWEST EQUITY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

                  The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial statements
         have been  prepared by the Company in  accordance  with the  accounting
         policies  described in the Bank's audited financial  statements for the
         year ended  March 31, 1998 and should be read in  conjunction  with the
         financial  statements  and notes  which  appear in that  report.  These
         statements do not include all the information and disclosures  required
         by  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.   In  the  opinion  of
         management,  all adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
         considered for a fair presentation have been included.

Note 2.  Subsequent Events:

          As part of the Legal  Proceedings  listed  under  Part II,  Item 1., a
     court  ordered  mediation  session  was held on October 12,  1998.  At that
     session, all but three parties reached settlement agreements with the Bank.
     The  proceeds  to  the  Bank  of  the  various  settlement  agreements,  if
     consummated,  and an estimate of proposed  settlements  with the  remaining
     three  parties  total  approximately  $262,000.  Considering a current loan
     balance  and costs of  $620,000;  plus an  overdraft  of  $80,291;  plus an
     estimated $10,000 of additional attorneys fees to settle the law suit; less
     the estimated  settlement proceeds of $262,000;  less the current amount in
     the  allowance  for loan losses of $110,000  allocated to this loan;  would
     require a provision  for loan losses of $338,000 for the three months ended
     December 31, 1998, that would result in an after-tax loss of  approximately
     $223,000.  Introducing this estimated loss in the allowance for loan losses
     calculation,  the  anticipated  allowance  for loan losses  balance will be
     approximately $375,000 at December 31, 1998.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF
                             NORTHWEST EQUITY CORP.

Comparison  of Operating  Results for the Three Months Ended  September 30, 1997
and September 30, 1998

Net Income

         Net income for the three months  ended  September  30, 1998,  increased
$54,000 or 21.1% to $310,000  compared to $256,000  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1997.  The increase in net income is due to an increase of $73,000
in net interest  income from  $862,000 for the three months ended  September 30,
1997, to $935,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1998; an increase of
$48,000 in total other income from $136,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1997,  to $184,000 for the three months ended  September  30, 1998;  that is
offset by an  increase  of $25,000 in general and  administrative  expense  from
$582,000  for the three  months ended  September  30, 1997,  to $617,000 for the
three  months  ended  September  30,  1998,  and an  increase  of $32,000 in the
provision  for income taxes from  $135,000 for the three months ended  September
30, 1997, to $167,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998.

Net Interest Income

         Net interest  income  increased by $73,000 from  $862,000 for the three
months  ended  September  30,  1997,  to  $935,000  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1998.  The  increase  in net  interest  income is a result of an
increase in interest  income of $41,000 to $1,969,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998,  compared to $1,928,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1997;  combined with a decrease in interest expense of $32,000 to $1,034,000
for the three months ended  September 30, 1998,  from  $1,066,000  for the three
months ended September 30, 1997.

Interest Income

         Interest income  increased  $41,000 or 2.1% to $1,969,000 for the three
months ended  September 30, 1998,  compared to  $1,928,000  for the three months
ended  September  30,  1997.  Interest  and fees on loans  increased  $55,000 to
$1,780,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $1,725,000
for the three months ended  September  30,  1997.  This  increase was due to the
increase in the average  outstanding balance of total loans to $79.8 million for
the three months ended  September  30, 1998,  compared to $78.8  million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997.  Interest on mortgage-backed  and related
securities  decreased  $16,000 to $110,000 for the three months ended  September
30, 1998,  from  $126,000 for the three months ended  September  30, 1997.  This
decrease  was due to a decrease in the average  outstanding  balance of mortgage
backed and related  securities  of $0.8  million from $7.2 million for the three
months ended  September  30, 1997,  to an average  outstanding  balance of $ 6.4
million for the three months ended  September 30, 1998.  Interest on investments
remained virtually unchanged,  increasing $2,000 to $79,000 for the three months
ended  September  30,  1998,  compared  to $77,000  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1997.

Interest Expense

         Interest expense  decreased $32,000 or 3.0% to $1,034,000 for the three
months ended  September 30, 1998,  compared to  $1,066,000  for the three months
ended September 30, 1997.  Interest on deposits  decreased  $17,000 or 2.3% from
$729,000  for the three  months ended  September  30, 1997,  to $712,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in interest on deposits is a
result of a decrease in the  average  outstanding  balance of total  deposits to
$61.l million for the three months ended  September 30, 1998, from $62.5 million
for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1997.  The average  yield of total
deposits  remained at 4.66% for the three months ended  September 30, 1998,  and
the three months ended  September  30, 1997.  Interest on  borrowings  decreased
$15,000 or 4.4% from $337,000 for the three

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION (CONT.)

 months  ended  September  30,  1997,  to $322,000  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1998. The decrease reflects an decrease in the average  yield/rate
of advances and other borrowings from 6.00% for the three months ended September
30, 1997, to 5.56% for the three months ended September 30, 1998.

Provision for Loan Losses

     The  provision  for loan losses  remained  at $25,000 for the three  months
ended  September 30, 1998, and the three months ended  September 30, 1997.  That
amount  reflects the Board of Directors'  recognition of a commercial  loan that
appeared on the  September  30, 1996,  watch list for the first time.  Unable to
make an informed  estimate of the loss potential,  the Board decided to increase
the provision for loan losses to $25,000 per quarter until more  information  is
available to make a reasonable  estimate of any losses that may occur. The terms
of a proposed  settlement on October 12, 1998, if consummated,  would require an
additional  $338,000  to the  provision  for loan  losses  and  would  create an
estimated  balance of $375,000 in the  allowance for loan losses at December 31,
1998.  (See Part II, Item 1, Legal  Proceedings).  The allowance for loan losses
totaled  $484,000 at September  30, 1998,  compared to $470,000 at September 30,
1997,  and  represented  0.60% and  0.56% of gross  loans and 34.3% and 33.2% of
non-performing  loans,  respectively.  The non-performing assets to total assets
ratio was 1.71% at September 30, 1998, compared to 1.43% at September 30, 1997.

         Total other income increased 35.2% or $48,000 to $184,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $136,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. The increase results from a $23,000 increase in gain on sale
of mortgage  loans to $59,000 for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1998,
compared  to $36,000  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  and a
decrease  of  $24,000  in the gain or  (loss)  on the sale of  investments  from
$(24,000)  for the three months ended  September  30, 1997, to $00 for the three
months ended  September  30, 1998.  The increase in the gain on sale of mortgage
loans results from the general decline of interest rates over the two comparable
periods which enhances the bank's ability to generate gains on sale of mortgage.
The loss on the sale of investments was a nonrecurring event.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and  administrative  expenses  increased $35,000 or 6.0% to $617,000 for
the three months ended  September  30, 1998,  compared to $582,000 for the three
months ended  September 30, 1997.  The increase was primarily due to an increase
of $17,000 in salaries and employee  benefits from $306,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1997, to $323,000 for the three months ended  September 30,
1998. The increase was due to  adjustments  in employee  salaries in response to
intense  wage  competition  for  employees in the  marketplace.  The increase in
expenses  was also  partially  due to an  increase in net  occupancy  expense of
$7,000 from $85,000 for the three months ended  September  30, 1997,  to $92,000
for the three months  ended  September  30,  1998.  The increase was due to some
extraordinary repairs and maintenance expense items.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased $32,000 or 23.7% from $135,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1997, to $167,000 for the three months ended  September 30,
1998. The increase in income tax expense is the direct result of the increase in
income  before  taxes of  $86,000  from  $391,000  for the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1997,  to $477,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1998.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended  September 30, 1998, was 35.0%
compared to 34.3% for the three months ended September 30, 1997.

Comparison of Operating  Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 1997 and
September 30, 1998

Net Income

         Net income for the six  months  ended  September  30,  1998,  increased
$124,000 or 24.4% to $632,000  compared  to  $508,000  for the six months  ended
September 30, 1997.  The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase
in net  interest  income of $120,000  from  $1,726,000  for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 to $1,846,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1998.
Total other income  increased  $125,000  from  $263,000 for the six months ended
September  30, 1997,  to $388,000 for the six months ended  September  30, 1998.
However,  that  increase  was offset by an  increase  of $75,000 in general  and
administrative  expenses from  $1,143,000 for the six months ended September 30,
1997, to $1,218,000 to the six months ended  September 30, 1998; and an increase
in provision  for income taxes of $46,000 from $288,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1997, to $334,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1998.

Net Interest Income

         Net interest  income  increased by $120,000 from $1,726,000 for the six
months  ended  September  30,  1997,  to  $1,846,000  for the six  months  ended
September  30, 1998.    The  increase in net  interest  income is a result of an
increase in interest  income of $84,000 to  $3,926,000  for the six months ended
September 30, 1998,  compared to $3,842,000  for the six months ended  September
30, 1997;  combined with a decrease in interest expense of $36,000 to $2,080,000
for the six months ended  September 30, 1998, from $2,116,000 for the six months
ended September 30, 1997.

Interest Income

         Interest  income  increased  $84,000 or 2.1% to $3,926,000  for the six
months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $3,842,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1997. Of the increase,  $95,000 was due to an increase in interest
and fees on loans to  $3,525,000  for the six months ended  September  30, 1998,
compared  to  $3,430,000  for the six months  ended  September  30,  1997.  This
increase  was due to the  increase in the average  outstanding  balance of total
loans to $79.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998,  compared to
$78.1  million for the six months  ended  September  30,  1997.  The increase in
interest  and fees on loans was  partially  offset by a  decrease  of $33,000 in
interest on  mortgage-backed  and  related  securities  to $225,000  for the six
months  ended  September  30,  1998,  from  $258,000  for the six  months  ended
September  30,  1997.  This  decrease  was  due to a  decrease  in  the  average
outstanding  balance of mortgage backed and related securities from $7.2 million
for the six months  ended  September  30,  1997,  to an average  balance of $6.3
million for the six months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease was the result
of regularly  scheduled  principle  payments and  prepayments  on the securities
throughout the period offset by the purchase of $1.0 million of  mortgage-backed
securities during the current quarter. Interest on investments increased $22,000
to $176,000 for the six months ended  September  30, 1998,  compared to $154,000
for the six months ended  September  30, 1997, as a result of an increase in the
average  outstanding  balances of  interest-bearing  deposits in other financial
institutions,  securities  held for sale,  and Federal Home Loan Bank stock from
$5.3 million for the six months ended  September  30, l997,  to $5.9 million for
the six months ended September 30, 1998.

Interest Expense

         Interest  expense  decreased  $36,000 or 1.7% to $2,080,000 for the six
months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $2,116,000 for the six months ended
September  30,  1997.  Interest  on  deposits  decreased  $14,000  or 0.9%  from
$1,446,000  for the six months ended  September 30, 1997, to $1,432,000  for the
six months ended  September 30, 1998.  The decrease  reflects an decrease in the
average  outstanding  balance of total  deposits  to $61.6  million  for the six
months ended  September 30, 1998,  from an average  balance of $62.0 million for
the six months ended September 30, 1997. The average interest rate paid remained
virtually  unchanged from 4.66% for the six months ended  September 30, 1997, to
4.65% for the

six months ended September 30, 1998. Interest on borrowings decreased $22,000 or
3.2% from $670,000 for the six months ended  September 30, 1997, to $648,000 for
the six months ended  September 30, 1998.  The decrease  reflects an decrease in
average  yield/rate  of  advances  and other  borrowings  from 6.01% for the six
months ended September 30, 1997, to 5.62% for the six months ended September 30,
1998.

Provision for Loan Losses

     The provision for loan losses  remained at $50,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1998,  compared to $50,000 for the six months ended  September 30,
1997. That amount  reflects the Board of Directors'  recognition of a commercial
loan that  appeared on the  September  30, 1996,  watch list for the first time.
Unable to make an informed estimate of the loss potential,  the Board decided to
increase  the  provision  for loan  losses to  $25,000  per  quarter  until more
information  is available  to make a reasonable  estimate of any losses that may
occur.  The terms of a proposed  settlement on October 12, 1998, if consummated,
would require an additional  $338,000 to the provision for loan losses and would
create an  estimated  balance of  $375,000 in the  allowance  for loan losses at
December 31, 1998. (See Part II, Item 1, Legal  Proceedings).  The allowance for
loan losses  totaled  $484,000 at September  30,  1998,  compared to $470,000 at
September 30, 1997, and represented 0.60% and 0.56% of gross loans and 34.2% and
33.2% of non-performing loans, respectively.  The non-performing assets to total
assets ratio was 1.71% at September 30, 1998, compared to 1.43% at September 30,
1997.

Other Income

         Total other income increased  $125,000 or 47.5% to $388,000 for the six
months ended  September  30, 1998,  compared  to  $263,000  for  the six  months
ended  September 30, 1997.  The increase  results from an increase of $24,000 in
gain (loss) on the sale of  investments  from $(24,000) for the six months ended
September  30,  1997,  and $00 for the six months  ended  September  30, 1998; a
$45,000  increase in the gain on sale of  mortgage  loans to $97,000 for the six
months  ended  September  30, 1998  compared to $52,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1997;  and an increase of $45,000 in other income from $74,000 for
the six months  ended  September  30, 1997 to $119,000  for the six months ended
September  30,  1998.  The loss on the sale of  investments  was a  nonrecurring
event.  The  increase in the gain on sale of  mortgage  loans  results  from the
general decline of interest rates over the two comparable periods which enhances
the bank's ability to generate gains on sale of mortgage loans.  The increase in
other  income  reflects  an  increase  of  $38,000 in the profit on sale of real
estate  held in the  Bank's  subsidiary  to  $50,000  for the six  months  ended
September 30, 1998,  compared to $12,000 for the six months ended  September 30,
1997, and an increase of $17,000 in brokerage  commissions  from $22,000 for the
six  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  to $39,000  for the six months  ended
September 30, 1998. With the transaction  consummated in the quarter ending June
30, 1998, the Bank's subsidiary divested all of its real estate holdings.

General and Administrative Expenses

         General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  $75,000  or  6.6% to
$1,218,000 for the six months ended  September 30, 1998,  compared to $1,143,000
for the six months ended  September 30, 1997.  The increase was primarily due to
an increase of $43,000 in salaries and employee  benefits  from $616,000 for the
six months  ended  September  30,  1997,  to $659,000  for the six months  ended
September 30, 1998. The increase was due to adjustments in employee  salaries in
response to intense  wage  competition  for  employees in the  marketplace.  Net
occupancy  expense  increased  $15,000  from  $163,000  for the six months ended
September 30, 1997, to $178,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1998, and
reflects  some  extraordinary  maintenance  items  occurring  during the current
period.  Data  processing  expenses  increased  $7,000 from  $65,000 for the six
months ended  September 30, 1997, to $72,000 for the six months ended  September
30, 1998,  and reflects an  scheduled  contractual  increase in the fee based on
transaction  volumes.  Other expenses increased $9,000 from $280,000 for the six
months ended  September 30, 1997, to $289,000 for the six months ended September
30, 1998.

Income Tax Expense

         Income tax expense increased $46,000 or 16.0% from $288,000 for the six
months ended  September 30, 1997, to $334,000 for the six months ended September
30, 1998.  The increase in income tax expense is the direct result of a increase
in income  before  taxes of  $170,000  from  $796,000  for the six months  ended
September 30, 1997, to $966,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1998. The
effective  tax rate for the six  months  ended  September  30,  1998,  was 34.6%
compared to 37.2% for the six months ended  September 30, 1997. The reduction of
the  effective  tax rate  reflects  the  establishment  of a  Nevada  investment
subsidiary  on  May  30,  1997,  which  effectively  eliminated  the  state  tax
obligation of the company since that date.


Financial Condition

         Total assets  increased  $374,000 or 0.4% to $99.1 million at September
30,  1998,  compared  to $98.7  million at March 31,  1998 due  primarily  to an
increase of $1.6 million in loans  receivable  to $79.9 million at September 30,
1998, compared to $78.3 million at March 31, 1998, that was offset by a decrease
in cash and cash  equivalents  of $0.8 million to $5.2 million at September  30,
1998,  from  $6.0  million  at  March  31,  1998.  The cash was used to fund the
increase  in loans  receivable.  The  increase in net loans  receivable  was the
result of the expected  seasonal increase of loan activity during the spring and
summer  months.  A decrease in  investment  securities  of $0.6  million to $2.4
million at September 30, 1998,  from $3.0 million at March 31, 1998,  was offset
by a increase of $0.2  million in mortgage  backed and related  securities  from
$6.4 million on March 31, 1998,  to $6.6 million at September  30, 1998.

         Total  liabilities  remained  virtually  unchanged at $87.1  million at
September 30, 1998, and $87.2 million at March 31, 1998. A $0.9 million increase
in other  borrowed money from $5.3 million at March 31, 1998, to $6.2 million at
September 30, 1998, was offset by decreases in savings  deposits of $0.2 million
to $62.1  million at September  30, 1998,  from $62.3 million at March 31, 1998;
and a $0.8  million  decrease in advances  from the Federal  Home Loan Bank from
$19.1 million at March 31, 1998, to $18.3 million at September 30, 1998.

         Shareholders' equity increased $484,000 from $11.5 million at March 31,
1998,  to $12.0 million at September 30, 1998, as a result of net income for the
six months ended  September 30, 1998,  less  $272,000 in cash  dividends and the
amortization  of the common stock purchased by the employee stock ownership plan
of  $92,000  from  ($389,000)  on March 31, 1998 to  ($297,000) on September 30,
1998;  and the  amortization  of the  unearned  restricted  stock  plan award of
$26,000 from ($26,000) at March 31, 1998, to $0 at September 30, 1998.

Asset/Liability Management Disclosures Involving Year 2000 Issues

        Issues  related to the  century  date  change and the impact on computer
systems and business operations are receiving prominent publicity and attention.
Depositors,   business   partners,   investors,   and  the  general  public  are
specifically  interested  in the  effect  on the  financial  condition  of  each
depository  institution.  The FDIC has advised state savings banks that safe and
sound banking practices require them to address Year 2000 issues. The Securities
and Exchange  Commission  (SEC) issued a revised  Staff Legal  Bulletin NO. 5 to
provide  specific  guidance on disclosure  associated with Year 2000 obligations
for companies registered under federal securities laws.

      Computer programs generally abbreviated dates by eliminating the century
digits of the year.  Many resources, such as software; hardware; telephones;
voicemail; heating; ventilating and air conditioning; alarms, etc. ("Systems")
are affected.  These Systems were designed to assume a century value of "19"
to

                                       14

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION (CONT.)

save memory and disk space within their programs. In addition,  many Systems use
a value of "99" in a year or  "99/99/99" in a date to indicate "no date" or "any
date" or even a  default  expiration  date.  As the year 2000  approaches,  this
abbreviated date mechanism  within Systems  threatens to disrupt the function of
computer  software at nearly every  business  which  relies  heavily on computer
systems for account and other recordkeeping  functions.  If the millennium issue
is ignored,  system failures or miscalculations could occur, causing disruptions
of operations and a temporary inability to process business transactions.

        The Bank has an  inventory  of  personal  computers  that  access a data
processing system provided by EDS in Des Moines, Iowa. If the personal computers
and data  processing  systems fail to process the century  date  change,  it may
impair the Bank's ability to process loan payments, accept deposits, and address
other operational  issues. The Bank's customers,  suppliers,  other constituents
may also be impaired to meet their  contractual  obligations  with the Bank. The
Bank has  developed a Year 2000 Plan (the  "Plan").  The Bank's Plan attempts to
identify the systems,  assess the risk, and conduct  inventories as necessary to
assure  compliance  with the Plan. The Plan calls for identifying all systems in
need of  remediation  by June 30,  1999,  and  remedying  all systems in need of
remediation  by September 30, 1999. As of September 30, 1998, the Bank estimates
it will have to  purchase  hardware  and  equipment  in the  amount  of  $17,000
(pre-tax) to address the Y2K issues.  The  expenditures  would be amortized over
5-year  period,  and would add  approximately  $3,400 in  furniture  and fixture
expense per year for the next 5 years. In addition, the Bank will be assessed in
the current  fiscal year a one-time fee of $20,000 by EDS to support the FFIEC's
testing  guidance  regarding  Year 2000  efforts of  financial  institutions  as
outlined in the April 10, 1998,  Interagency  Statement.  These  amounts are not
considered to be material.

        On February 24, 1998,  the FDIC  conducted an on-site  visitation of the
Bank's Year 2000 process.  The examiner followed  guidelines and recommendations
contained in the FFIEC  Interagency  Statement  on Year 2000 Project  Management
Awareness,  dated May 5, 1997,  and subsequent  publications.  In a letter dated
March  17,  1998,  the FDIC  stated  that the  Bank's  Year  2000  Committee  is
adequately monitoring Year 2000 compliance. In a letter dated September 8, 1998,
The FDIC  reported to the Board of  Directors  that the Federal  Reserve Bank of
Dallas had  conducted an  examination  of Electronic  Data  Systems,  Inc.,(EDS)
Plano,  Texas,  the Bank's data processor.  The Board of Directors  reviewed the
Exam at its  September  18,  1998,  meeting  and the  record of this  action was
entered  into the  minutes.  The  results  of the  examination  are deemed to be
confidential  by the FDIC. In a letter dated October 2, 1998,  EDS reported that
the overall product line  remediation was now 92% complete.  On October 9, 1998,
the Bank received an extensive Y2k Contingency Plan from EDS.

Asset/Liability Management

         Asset/liability  management is an ongoing process of matching asset and
liability  maturities  to reduce  interest  rate risk.  Management  attempts  to
control  this risk through  pricing of assets and  liabilities  and  maintaining
specific levels of maturities. In recent periods, management's strategy has been
to (1) sell  substantially all new originations of long-term,  fixed-rate single
family  mortgage  loans  in  the  secondary   market,   (2)  invest  in  various
adjustable-rate  and  short-term  mortgage-backed  and related  securities,  (3)
invest in  adjustable-rate,  single  family  mortgage  loans,  and (4) encourage
medium  and  longer-term   certificates  of  deposit.  The  Company's  estimated
cumulative  one-year gap between assets and  liabilities was a negative 1.4-% of
total  assets,  at the  latest  available  reporting  date of June 30,  1998.  A
negative gap occurs when a greater dollar amount of interest-earning liabilities
than  interest-bearing  assets are  repricing  or  maturing  during a given time
period.  During  periods of rising  interest  rates,  a negative  interest  rate
sensitivity  gap will tend to  negatively  affect net  interest  income.  During
periods of falling interest rates, a negative interest rate sensitivity gap will
tend to positively affect the net interest income.

                                       15
<PAGE>



         Management believes that its asset/liability  management strategies
have reduced the potential effects of changes in interest rates on its  
operations. Increases in interest rates may decrease net interest income because
interest-bearing  liabilities will reprice more quickly than interest-earning
assets.  The

Company's  analysis of the  maturity and  repricing  of assets and  liabilities
incorporates  certain assumptions  concerning the amortization and prepayment of
such  assets  and  liabilities.   Management  believes  that  these  assumptions
approximate actual experience and considers them reasonable, although the actual
amortization and repayment of assets and liabilities may vary substantially.


Management Strategy

Asset Quality

     The Company emphasizes high asset quality in both its investment  portfolio
and lending activities. Non-performing assets have ranged between .95% and 1.71%
of total  assets  during the last three years and were 1.71% of total  assets at
September  30, 1998.  Cumulative  gross  charge-offs  over the last three fiscal
years totaled $193,000 and were offset by $38,000 in recoveries.  The last three
years cumulative gross charge-offs of commercial loans have totaled $19,000. The
cumulative gross charge-offs, $169,000 were installment loans and were offset by
$9,000 in recoveries.  The remaining $5,000 in cumulative gross charge-offs were
real estate loans and were offset by $29,000 in recoveries.

     On October 16, 1996, the Bank learned that a Minnesota Bank had commenced a
repleven  lawsuit  against a borrower of the Bank that involves  several parties
claiming  interests  in  collateral  secured  by  a  General  Business  Security
Agreement of the Bank. The proceedings  were filed with the Circuit Judge,  Polk
County Courthouse,  Balsam Lake, Wisconsin. On November 20, 1996, the Bank filed
its answer and a third party  complaint  seeking  repleven of its collateral and
money  judgments  against its borrowers,  the guarantors,  and other  interested
parties. Repleven judgment was entered in favor of the Bank on January 15, 1997.
A money  judgment was filed against a guarantor on December 30, 1996. One of the
guarantors   filed   personal   bankruptcy   and  the   Bank   was   awarded   a
non-dischargeable  judgment against the guarantor in the amount of $80,000.  The
Board of  Directors  at its meeting  October 8, 1996,  decided to  increase  the
quarterly  provision  for loan losses to $25,000 until more  information  became
available  to make a reasonable  estimate of any loss that may occur.  The Board
continued  this policy at its meeting held  December 10,  1996,  and  subsequent
meetings  because a reasonable  estimate could not be determined until the legal
issues were resolved.  The Board expects the loss will be identifiable after the
trial  scheduled  for November 9, 1998,  and the loss will be booked  during the
quarter  ending  December 31, 1998.  An auction of the  business  inventory  and
equipment  was held March 26, 1998.  Proceeds of the auction and the recovery of
other equipment total $188,185 and will be held by the court appointed receiver.
Of that amount,  approximately  $72,000 is from the sale of property that is not
disputed by any third parties and should be recovered by the Bank. The remaining
$116,000 will continue to be held by the receiver  pending  further order of the
court.  Attempts to settle the dispute  amongst the parties  were held April 28,
1998,  and at trial  court  ordered  mediation  sessions  held July 10, 1998 and
October 12, 1998; and all but three parties reached  settlement  agreements with
the Bank during the  October  session.  The  proceeds to the Bank of the various
settlement agreements and an estimate of proposed settlements with the remaining
three parties total approximately  $262,000.  Considering a current loan balance
and costs of $620,000  plus an overdraft of $80,291 and an estimated  $10,000 of
additional  attorneys fees to settle the law suit less the estimated  settlement
proceeds  of  $262,000  and less the current  amount in the  allowance  for loan
losses of $110,000  allocated to this loan,  would  require a provision for loan
losses of  $338,000  that would  result in an  after-tax  loss of  approximately
$223,000.  Introducing  this loss in the allowance for loan losses  calculation,
the anticipated allowance for loan losses will be approximately $375,000 for the
quarter ending December 31, 1998.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION (CONT.)


     During the fiscal  years ended March 31, 1998,  1997 and 1996,  the Company
recorded  provisions  for  loan  losses  of  $100,000,   $81,000,  and  $24,000,
respectively,  to its  allowance  for loan  losses  and had net  charge-offs  of
$77,000,  $53,000, and $25,000,  respectively.  The Company's allowance for loan
losses at September 30, 1998,  totaled  $484,000 or 250.8% of  cumulative  gross
charge-offs  during the last three fiscal years.  Management  currently believes
the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1998, is at an adequate level and
that future  provisions  for loan losses will be  maintained  at current  levels
until  more  information  is  available  concerning  the large  commercial  loan
mentioned in the previous paragraph.

         Total  non-performing loans remained $1.4 million at March 31, 1998 and
September  30,  1998.  Total loans  delinquent  31-89 days  increased  from $1.5
million at March 31, 1998,  to $1.7 million at  September  30, 1998.  The latest
available  peer group  comparison  of the average  nonperforming  loans and real
estate owned as a percentage  of total loans as prepared by America's  Community
Bankers  was 2.17% for the  Company at March 31,  1998,  compared  to 1.25% on a
nation wide basis,  0.94% on a geographic  basis,  1.27% on an asset size basis,
and 1.42% on an owner type basis.  Allowing for the  commercial  loan  mentioned
above with a delinquent  balance of  $620,000,  that ratio would be 1.38% and be
comparable to the peer group.
