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.

Local  economic  conditions in the Bank's  market are stable.  As a result of an
over-supply of grain, farm prices for grain, which are currently depressed,  may
continue to remain depressed and drop further. 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  its  loan  portfolio,  which  could  adversely  affect  the  financial
condition and results of operations of the Company and the Bank.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The  Company,  and its  subsidiaries  may from time to time make written or oral
"forward-looking  statements",  including  statements contained in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (including  this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB and the exhibits  hereto and  thereto),  in its reports to
stockholders and in other communications by the Company,  which are made in good
faith by the Company and the Bank  pursuant to the "safe  harbor"  provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These  forward-looking   statements  include  statements  with  respect  to  the
Company's  and the  Bank's  beliefs,  plans,  objectives,  goals,  expectations,
anticipations,  estimates and intentions,  that are subject to significant risks
and  uncertainties,  and are subject to change based on various factors (some of
which are  beyond  the  Company's  and the  Bank's  control).  The words  "may",
"could",  "should",  "would",  "believe",  "anticipate",  "estimate",  "expect",
"intend",   "plan"  and   similar   expressions   are   intended   to   identify
forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause the
Company's and the Bank's  financial  performance to differ  materially  from the
plans,  objectives,  expectations,  estimates and  intentions  expressed in such
forward-looking statements:

o        the strength of the United  States  economy in general and the strength
         of the local  economies in which the Company and the Bank conduct their
         operations;
o        the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and
         laws,  including  interest rate policies of the Federal  Reserve Board,
         inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
o        the timely  development  of and acceptance of new products and services
         of the Bank and the  perceived  overall  value  of these  products  and
         services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared
         to competitors' products and services;
o        the  willingness  of  users to  substitute  competitors'  products  and
         services for the Bank's products and services;
o        the success of the Bank in gaining regulatory  approval of its products
         and services, when required;
o        the impact of  changes  in  financial  services'  laws and  regulations
         (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance);
o        technological changes;
o        acquisitions;
o        changes in consumer spending and saving habits;
o        and the  success  of the  Company  and the Bank at  managing  the risks
         involved in the foregoing.

The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive.  Additional discussion
of factors  affecting  the  Company's  business is  contained  in the  Company's
periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The Company does
not undertake and expressly  disclaims any intent or  obligation,  to update any
forward-looking statements,  whether written or oral, that may be made from time
to time by or on behalf of the Company or the Bank.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets at September 30, 2000 of $86.9 million increased $3.7
million,  or 4.49%,  from $83.2  million at June 30,  2000.  This  increase  was
attributed to the loans receivable increase of $2.9 million, or a 4.74% increase
over  June  30,  2000  and a cash and cash  equivalents  increase  of  $604,000.
Additional  growth  in total  assets is  attributed  to the  increase  in office
property and equipment of $258,000.  The Company  completed an extensive remodel
of its Knoxville,  Iowa branch office this quarter.  The expansion will generate
better office efficiency and provide additional customer parking.

Total  liabilities  increased  $3.6  million,  or  4.79%,  to $78.5  million  at
September  30, 2000 from $74.9  million at June 30, 2000.  This is a result of a
$2.6 million increase in deposits,  and a $976,000 increase in advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank which was used to fund the Bank's  increased  loan demand
and maintain required liquidity.  There were no other significant changes in the
components of the Company's balance sheet.

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  periods  ended  September 30, 2000 and September 30,
1999.

GENERAL

Net  earnings  increased  $158,000 to $164,000  for the three month period ended
September  30, 2000 from $6,000 for the three month period ended  September  30,
1999. This increase was primarily  attributable to a decrease in losses on sales
of securities  from $233,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 1999
to $36,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2000.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased $83,000 to $1,632,000 for the three month period ended
September  30, 2000  compared to  $1,549,000  for the three month  period  ended
September 30, 1999.  The increase was the result of a 24 basis point increase in
the weighted average yield on average  interest-earning  assets to 7.98% for the
three month  period ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to 7.74% for the same
period  in  1999  and  an  increase  in  the  average  outstanding  balances  of
interest-earning  assets from $80.0  million for the three  month  period  ended
September  30, 1999 to $81.8  million for the same period  ended  September  30,
2000.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense  increased $85,000 to $946,000 for the three month period ended
September  30,  2000  compared  to $862,000  for the three  month  period  ended
September  30, 1999.  The increase in interest  expense was primarily due to the
weighted average yield on  interest-bearing  liabilities  increasing by 47 basis
points to 5.02% for the three month period ended  September 30, 2000 as compared
to 4.55% for the same period in 1999. The average outstanding balance of average
interest-bearing liabilities decreased $467,000 from $75.8 million for the three
month period ended September 30, 1999 to $75.4 million for the same period ended
September 30, 2000.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest  income  decreased  $1,000 from $687,000 for the three month period
ended  September 30, 1999 to $686,000 for the three month period ended September
30, 2000. The Company's net interest  margin  decreased 24 basis points to 2.96%
for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to 3.20% for the
same period in 1999. The ratio of the Company's average  interest-earning assets
to average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased  3.03% from 105.47% for the
three  month  period  ended  September  30,  1999 to 108.50% for the three month
period ended September 30, 2000.

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
recorded a provision  for losses on loans of $24,000 for the three month periods
ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999.  As of September  30, 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
$1,164,000  or 1.34% of total  assets,  compared to $1,155,000 or 1.39% of total
assets as of June 30, 2000.  As of September 30, 2000,  the Company's  allowance
for losses on loans was $390,000,  representing  33.5% of non-performing  assets
and .60% 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 to maintain the allowance
for loan losses at a level  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.  In  addition,   federal  regulators  may  require
additional  reserves  as a  result  of their  examination  of the  Company.  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  increased  $232,000 to $117,000  for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from (115,000) for the same period ended  September 30, 1999.
The increase was primarily  attributable  to a $233,000  loss  recognized on the
sale of  securities  for the three  month  period  ended  September  30, 1999 as
compared to a $36,000 loss  recognized  on the sale of  securities  for the same
period  ended  September  30,  2000.  Fees,  commissions,  and  service  charges
increased  $35,000 for the period  ending  September 30, 2000 as compared to the
same  period  ended  September  30,  1999 due to  increased  service  charges on
checking  accounts  and  commission  income  on sales of  alternative  financial
products  sold through the  wholly-owned  financial  services  subsidiary of the
Bank.


NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total  noninterest  expense decreased $12,000 from $539,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1999 to $527,000 for the three month period ended September
30, 2000. The decrease was primarily  attributable  to a decrease of $14,0000 in
advertising  expense from $28,000 for the three month period ended September 30,
1999 to $14,000 for the same period ended  September  30, 2000 and a decrease of
$11,000 in other expense due to decreased legal fees.  Compensation and employee
benefits  expenses,  the largest  component of  noninterest  expense,  increased
$9,000 for the three  months  ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to the same
period in 1999.


                                      -10-

<PAGE>


TAXES ON INCOME

The Company had a $84,000 increase in taxes on income for the three month period
ended September 30, 2000 as a result of increased 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
5.00% on September 30, 2000 and 5.38% on June 30, 2000.

At September  30, 2000,  the Company had advances of $10.0 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.
At September 30, 2000, the Company had outstanding  commitments to extend credit
which  amounted  to  $2,769,000   (including  $904,000  in  available  revolving
commercial  lines of credit).  At September  30, 2000,  certificates  of deposit
scheduled  to  mature  in one year or less  totaled  $23.4  million.  Management
believes,  based on its experience to date, that a significant  portion of these
funds will remain with the Company. Management believes that loan repayments and
other  sources  of funds  will be  adequate  to meet the  Company's  foreseeable
liquidity needs.

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 September  30, 2000,  the Bank had tangible and core capital of $6.2 million,
or 7.3% of adjusted total assets,  which was approximately $5.0 million and $2.8
million above the minimum  requirements of 1.5% and 4.0%,  respectively,  of the
adjusted  total assets in effect on that date. At September  30, 2000,  the Bank
had risk-based capital of $6.6 million (including $6.2 million in core capital),
or 12.5% of risk- weighted assets of $52.9 million. This amount was $2.4 million
above the 8.0% requirement in effect on that date.
