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

GENERAL
- -------

Horizon Financial Services Corporation ("the Company") is a savings bank holding
company,  the primary  asset of which is Horizon  Federal  Savings  Bank,  ("the
Bank").  The Company was  incorporated  in March 1994 and sold 506,017 shares of
common  stock on June 28, 1994 for the purpose of  acquiring  all of the capital
stock of the Bank in connection with the Bank's  conversion from mutual to stock
form of ownership (the "Conversion").

The principal  business of the Company  (through its operating  subsidiary,  the
Bank), has historically consisted of attracting deposits from the general public
and  making  loans  secured  by  residential  and,  to a  lesser  extent,  other
properties.  The Company's results of operations are primarily  dependent on the
difference  or spread  ("interest  rate  spread")  between the average  yield on
loans,  mortgage-backed  and related  securities and investments and the average
rate paid on deposits and other  borrowings  as well as the relative  amounts of
such assets and liabilities. The interest rate spread is affected by regulatory,
economic and competitive  factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and
deposit  flows.  The Company,  like other  non-diversified  savings  institution
holding  companies,  is subject  to  interest  rate risk to the degree  that its
interest-earning  assets mature or reprice at different times, or on a different
basis, than its interest-bearing liabilities.

The Company's  results of  operations  are also affected by, among other things,
fee  income  received,  loss or profit on  securities  available  for sale,  the
establishment  of  provisions  for  possible  loan losses,  income  derived from
subsidiary  activities,  the level of operating  expenses and income taxes.  The
Company's operating expenses  principally  consist of employee  compensation and
benefits,   occupancy  expenses,   federal  deposit  insurance  premiums,   data
processing expenses and other general and administrative expenses.

The  Company  is  significantly   affected  by  prevailing  economic  conditions
including  federal  monetary  and fiscal  policies  and  federal  regulation  of
financial  institutions.  Deposit balances are influenced by a number of factors
including interest rates paid on competing personal investments and the level of
personal  income and  savings  within the  institution's  market  area.  Lending
activities are influenced by the demand for housing as well as competition  from
other lending institutions.  The primary sources of funds for lending activities
include deposits, loan payments, borrowings and funds provided from operations.

Some local  economic  conditions  in the Bank's market have  weakened.  The farm
economy had been strong but has now softened.  As a result of an  over-supply of
grain, farm prices for grain and livestock,  which are currently depressed,  may
continue  to  remain  depressed.  In  the  event  current  economic  and  market
conditions persist or worsen, loan demand and existing loans may be affected. No
assurances  can be given that the Bank will be able to maintain or increase  the
balance or quality  of its loan  portfolio,  which  could  adversely  affect the
financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Bank.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

The  Company's  total assets at March 31, 2000 of $82.2 million  decreased  $2.8
million,  or  3.30%,  from  $85.0  million  at June  30,  1999.  Cash  and  cash
equivalents  decreased  $4.5  million , or  57.45%,  due to  repayments  made on
Federal Home Loan Bank  advances.  Securities  available for sale decreased $1.1
million  primarily as a result of  principal  payments  and  prepayments  on the
securities.  Income  tax  receivable  and  stock in the  Federal  Home Loan Bank
decreased  $523,000  and  $500,000,  respectively.   Partially  offsetting  this
decrease was an increase in loans receivable of $3.9 million.
<PAGE>
Total  liabilities  decreased $2.9 million,  or 3.77%, to $74.1 million at March
31, 2000 from $77.0 million at June 30, 1999,  primarily as a result of advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreasing $5.1 million,  or 30.52%,  from $16.6
million at June 30, 1999 to $11.5 million at March 31, 2000.  Deposits increased
$2.1 million,  or 3.62% to $61.7 million at March 31, 2000 from $59.6 million at
June 30, 1999. There were no other significant  changes in the components of the
Company's balance sheet.

                                       -8-

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

The  Company's  results of operations  depend  primarily on the level of its net
interest  income  and  non-  interest  income  and the  level  of its  operating
expenses. Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets
and  interest-bearing  liabilities  and  interest  rates  earned or paid on such
assets or liabilities,  respectively. The Company's non-interest income consists
primarily of fees charged on transaction accounts which help to offset the costs
associated with establishing and maintaining these accounts.

Comparison  of three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 2000 and March
31, 1999

GENERAL
- -------

Net  earnings for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000  increased  $52,000 to
$168,000 from $116,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999.  For the
nine months ended March 31, 2000,  net earnings  increased  $897,000 to $321,000
from  ($576,000) for the  comparable  period in 1999. The increase for the three
month  period  ended March 31, 2000  compared to the same period ended March 31,
1999 was due  primarily to increased net interest  income.  The increase for the
nine month period  ended March 31, 2000  compared to the same period ended March
31, 1999 was primarily attributable to a significant decrease in losses on sales
of securities.

INTEREST INCOME
- ---------------

Interest income increased $52,000 to $1,535,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 2000 compared to $1,483,000 for the three month period ended March 31,
1999 and decreased  $81,000 to $4,611,000  for the nine month period ended March
31, 2000 compared to $4,692,000 for the comparable  period ended March 31, 1999.
The  increase  for the three  month  period  ended  March 31, 2000 was due to an
increase in the weighted  average  yield on average  interest-earning  assets to
7.75% from 7.48% for the same period in 1999.  The  decrease  for the nine month
period was primarily due to a decrease in the weighted  average yield on average
interest-earning  assets to 7.66% for the nine months  ended March 31, 2000 from
7.75% for the same period in 1999. Also contributing,  to a lesser degree, was a
reduction in the average  interest-earning assets of approximately $460,000. The
decrease in average interest earning assets is due to managements  decision,  at
the current time,  not to invest in  lower-yielding  mortgage-backed  securities
with leveraged FHLB advances.

INTEREST EXPENSE
- ----------------

Interest expense decreased $30,000 to $852,000 from $882,000 for the three month
period and  $191,000 to  $2,571,000  from  $2,762,000  for the nine month period
ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the same  periods in 1999.  The  decrease in
interest  expense for the nine month period was primarily due to the decrease in
the average outstanding balance of interest-bearing  liabilities of $3.0 million
to $74.5  million at March 31,  2000 from $77.5  million  at March 31,  1999.  A
decrease in the weighted average interest rate paid on average  interest-bearing
liabilities  of 15 basis  points to 4.60% at March 31, 2000 as compared to 4.75%
for the same nine month period in 1999, also contributed to the interest expense
reduction.

                                       -9-
<PAGE>
NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

Net interest  income was $683,000 and $2.0 million for the three months and nine
months ended March 31, 2000, respectively, compared to $601,000 and $1.9 million
for the comparable  periods in 1999. The Company's net interest margin increased
6 basis  points to 3.06%  for the nine  month  period  ended  March 31,  2000 as
compared to 3.00% for the same period in 1999.

PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS
- -----------------------------

The provision for losses on loans is a result of management's  periodic analysis
of the adequacy of the Company's  allowance  for losses on loans.  The Company's
provision for losses on loans was $72,000 for the nine month periods ended March
31, 2000 and 1999. As of March 31, 2000, the Company's non-  performing  assets,
consisting of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more delinquent,  real
estate owned and repossessed  consumer property,  totaled $1,007,000 or 1.23% of
total  assets,  compared to  $1,160,000  or 1.36% of total assets as of June 30,
1999.  As of March 31, 2000,  the  Company's  allowance  for losses on loans was
$373,000,  representing  37.0% of  non-performing  assets  and .62% of net loans
receivable.

The Company continues to monitor and adjust its allowance for losses on loans as
management's analysis of its loan portfolio and economic conditions dictate. The
Company  believes it has taken an appropriate  approach  toward reserve  levels,
consistent  with the Company's loss  experiences  and  considering,  among other
factors,  the  composition  of the Company's  loan  portfolio,  the level of the
Company's classified and non-performing assets and their estimated value. Future
additions to the  Company's  allowance for losses on loans and any change in the
related ratio of the allowance for losses on loans to  non-performing  loans are
dependent  upon the economy,  changes in real estate values and interest  rates.
Because the Company has  historically  experienced  low loan losses,  management
also considers the loss experience of similar  portfolios in comparable  lending
markets.  In addition,  federal regulators may require additional  reserves as a
result of their examination of the Company.  Accordingly, the calculation of the
adequacy of the allowance for losses on loans is not based directly on the level
of  non-performing  assets.  The allowance for losses on loans reflects what the
Company currently believes is an adequate level of reserves,  although there can
be no  assurance  that  future  losses  will not exceed the  estimated  amounts,
thereby adversely affecting future results of operations.

NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------

Noninterest income decreased to $119,000 and increased to $126,000 for the three
and nine months  ended March  31,2000,  respectively,  compared to $138,000  and
($1,215,000)  for the same periods  ended March 31,  1999.  The decrease for the
three month period ended March 31, 2000 was primarily  attributable to a $12,000
decrease in fees,  commissions  and service charges as a result of the reduction
in fees  collected on loans  originated  for sale in the secondary  market.  The
increase in  noninterest  income for the nine month  period ended March 31, 2000
was  attributable  to a $225,000 loss on assets  available for sale at March 31,
2000 as compared to a $1.6  million loss on assets  available  for sale at March
31, 1999. The loss  recognized on securities  during the nine month period ended
in  1999  was  the  result  of a  $1.5  million  write  down  on  interest  only
mortgage-backed  securities  resulting  from a decline  in fair  value  that was
judged  to be  other  than  temporary.  The  Company  completed  the sale of its
remaining high interest rate sensitive, interest only mortgage-backed securities
during the period ended September 30, 1999.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------

Total  noninterest  expense was $522,000 and  $1,617,000  for the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2000,  respectively,  compared to $536,000 and $1,561,000
for the same  periods  in 1999,  reflecting  a  $14,000  decrease  and a $56,000
increase,  respectively.  Other  expense  increased  $19,000 and $66,000 for the
three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2000, respectively, compared to the
same period  during  1999.  The  increase  for the nine month  period was due to
increased audit and accounting expense,  legal fees and other operating expense.
Included in other operating  expense was a $4,500 sinking fund assessment to the
State of Iowa for losses incurred by an Iowa bank for public funds.  Advertising
expense increased $3,000 and $32,000 and office property and equipment decreased
$19,000 and $7,000 for the three and nine month  periods  ended March 31,  2000,
respectively, compared to the same period during 1999. Compensation and employee
benefits  expense,  the largest  component  of  noninterest  expense,  decreased
$19,000 and $57,000 for the three and nine month  periods  ended March 31, 2000,
respectively, compared to the same period during 1999.

TAXES ON INCOME
- ---------------

Income taxes increased $25,000 and $497,000 for the three and nine month periods
ended March 31, 2000,  respectively,  primarily as a result of the  increases in
net earnings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits and principal and interest
payments collected on mortgage loans, investments and related securities.  While
scheduled loan repayments and maturing  investments are relatively  predictable,
deposit flows and early loan  prepayments are more influenced by interest rates,
general  economic  conditions  and  competition.  Additionally,  the Company may
borrow funds from the Federal  Home Loan Bank  ("FHLB") of Des Moines or utilize
other borrowings of funds based on need,  comparative  costs and availability at
the time.

The Office of Thrift  Supervision  (the "OTS") requires minimum levels of liquid
assets. OTS regulations  presently require the Bank to maintain an average daily
balance of liquid assets (United States  Treasury and federal agency  securities
and other investments having maturities of five years of less) equal to at least
4.0%  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 Bank may rely,  if  necessary,  to fund deposit  withdrawals  and
other  short-term  funding  needs.  The Bank  has  historically  maintained  its
liquidity ratio in excess of that  requirement.  The Bank's  liquidity ratio was
7.01% on March 31, 2000 and 11.49% on June 30, 1999.

At March 31, 2000,  the Company had  advances of $11.5  million from the FHLB of
Des Moines outstanding.  The Company uses its liquidity resources principally to
meet ongoing commitments,  to fund maturing  certificates of deposit and deposit
withdrawals,  and to meet operating  expenses.  The Company  anticipates that it
will have sufficient  funds available to meet current loan commitments from loan
repayments, loan sales, and from its ability to borrow additional funds from the

<PAGE>

FHLB of Des Moines.  At March 31, 2000, the Company had outstanding  commitments
to extend  credit  which  amounted  to  $4,118,000  (including  $1.2  million in
available revolving commercial lines of credit). At March 31, 2000, certificates
of  deposit  scheduled  to mature  in one year or less  totaled  $19.0  million.
Management believes, based on its experience to date, that a significant portion
of these funds will remain with the Company.


                                      -11-

<PAGE>
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management.
The Bank  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  investments and (iv) the objectives of its
asset/liability  management  program.  Excess liquidity generally is invested in
interest-earning  overnight deposits and other short-term  government and agency
obligations.

At March 31, 2000,  the Bank had tangible and core capital of $6.1  million,  or
7.6% of adjusted  total assets,  which was  approximately  $4.9 million and $2.9
million above the minimum  requirements of 1.5% and 4.0%,  respectively,  of the
adjusted  total assets in effect on that date.  At March 31, 2000,  the Bank had
risk-based capital of $6.5 million (including $6.1 million in core capital),  or
13.2% of risk- weighted  assets of $49.1  million.  This amount was $2.6 million
above the 8.0% requirement in effect on that date.

YEAR 2000
- ---------

Management  and the Board of Directors  were  committed to achieving the goal of
Y2K  readiness.  The Bank incurred no problems when the staff tested all systems
on January 1, 2000 and has experienced no Y2K problems with our mission critical
systems or our non-information system providers.
