                      FSF FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
         The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three
         and nine month periods ended June 30, 1999, include the accounts of FSF
         Financial Corp. ("the  Corporation") and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
         Homeowners Mortgage Corporation  ("Homeowners"),  Insurance Planners of
         Hutchinson, Inc. ("Insurance Planners"), First Federal fsb (the "Bank")
         and Firstate  Services,  a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the Bank.  The
         Corporation's  business is conducted  principally through the Bank. All
         significant   inter-company   accounts  and   transactions   have  been
         eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
         The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  were
         prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and,  therefore,
         do not  include  information  or  footnotes  necessary  for a  complete
         presentation   of   consolidated   financial   condition,   results  of
         operations,  and  cash  flows in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
         accounting principles.  However, all adjustments,  consisting of normal
         recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management,  are necessary
         for fair  presentation of the  consolidated  financial  statements have
         been included.  The results of operations for the period ended June 30,
         1999,  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  which  may be
         expected for the entire  fiscal year or any other  period.  For further
         information,  refer to consolidated  financial statements and footnotes
         thereto  included in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
         year ended September 30, 1998.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
         The earnings per share amounts were computed using the weighted average
         number  of  shares  outstanding   during  the  periods  presented.   In
         accordance  with  the  Statement  of  Position  No.  93-6,   Employers'
         Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership  Plans,  issued by the American
         Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants,   shares  owned  by  the
         Corporation's   Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan  that  have  not  been
         committed to be released are not considered to be  outstanding  for the
         purpose of  computing  earnings  per share.  For the three month period
         ended June 30, 1999, the weighted average number of shares  outstanding
         for basic and diluted earnings per share computation were 2,666,100 and
         2,766,468,  respectively.  For the three  month  period  ended June 30,
         1998, the weighted average number of shares  outstanding were 2,667,864
         and 2,876,708,  respectively.  For the nine month period ended June 30,
         1999, the weighted  average number of shares  outstanding for basic and
         diluted  earnings per share  computation  were 2,684,532 and 2,799,157,
         respectively.  For the nine  month  period  ended  June 30,  1998,  the
         weighted  number of shares  outstanding  were  2,671,185 and 2,914,704,
         respectively.

NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
         Effective  October  1,  1998,  the  Corporation  adopted  Statement  of
         Financial    Accounting   Standards   ("SFAS")   No.   130,   Reporting
         Comprehensive Income. The statement establishes standards for reporting
         and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
         general-purpose  financial statements.  The statement requires that all
         items that are required to be recognized under accounting  standards as
         components  of  comprehensive  income to be disclosed in the  financial
         statements.  Comprehensive  income is  defined  as the change in equity
         during a period  from  transactions  and other  events  from  non-owner
         sources.  Comprehensive  income  is the total of net  income  and other
         comprehensive  income,  which for the Corporation is comprised entirely
         of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale.

NOTE 5 - BUSINESS COMBINATION
         On November 17, 1998, the Corporation  acquired 100% of the outstanding
         common stock of  Homeowners,  an originator  and seller of  residential
         mortgage  loans.  The business  combination  was  accounted  for by the
         purchase  method and the  financial  statements  reflect the  operating
         results of  Homeowners  for the seven and a half months  ended June 30,
         1999.  The  Corporation  issued  77,839  shares of common stock held as
         treasury shares and $1.25 million in cash to complete the  transaction.
         In addition,  options for 50,000  common stock  shares,  at an exercise
         price of  $15.00,  were  also  issued.  The  acquisition  price of $2.5
         million resulted in goodwill of approximately $2.3 million,  which will
         be amortized using the straight line method over twenty-five years.

NOTE 6 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         SFAS No.  133,  "Accounting  For  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging
         Activities" - issued June 1998,  establishes  accounting  and reporting
         standards for  derivative  instruments,  including  certain  derivative
         instruments embedded in other contracts,  (collectively  referred to as
         derivatives)  and for hedging  activities.  It requires  that an entity
         recognize  all  derivatives  as  either  assets or  liabilities  in the
         statement of financial  position and measure those  instruments at fair
         value.  SFAS No. 137 issued on July 7, 1999,  deferred  Statement 133's
         effective date until the fiscal year beginning  October 1, 2000. On the
         date of  adoption,  the  Corporation  may transfer any held to maturity
         security  into  the  available  for sale  category  and then be able to
         designate  the  transferred  security as a hedge item.  Any  unrealized
         holding gain or loss on transferred  securities will be reported in net
         income or accumulated other  comprehensive  income.  Management has not
         determined  its strategy  for the adoption of Statement  No. 133 or its
         effect on the financial statements.  If the Corporation elects to apply
         hedge accounting,  it is required to establish, at the inception of the
         hedge,  the method it will use for assessing the  effectiveness  of the
         hedging  activities and the  measurement  approach for  determining the
         ineffective aspect of the hedge.

         SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after
         the  Securitization  of  Mortgage  Loans  Held for  Sale by a  Mortgage
         Banking  Enterprise" - issued October 1998,  revises the accounting and
         reporting   standard  for  certain   activities  of  mortgage   banking
         enterprises  and other  enterprises  that conduct  operations  that are
         substantially  similar to the primary  operations of a mortgage banking
         enterprise.  It requires  that after the  securitization  of a mortgage
         loan held for sale, an entity  engaged in mortgage  banking  activities
         classify the resulting  mortgage-backed security as a trading security.
         It also requires that after the  securitization of mortgage loans held,
         an entity engaged in mortgage banking activities classify the resulting
         mortgage-backed  securities or other  retained  interests  based on its
         ability and intent to sell or hold those  investments.  This  statement
         was effective for the fiscal quarter  beginning January 1, 1999 and its
         adoption did not have an effect on the Corporations financial positions
         or results of operations.

                      FSF FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  ---------------------------------------------


GENERAL
The Corporation's  total assets at June 30, 1999, and September 30, 1998 totaled
$422.6 million and $416.2  million,  respectively.  The increase of $6.4 million
was  primarily a result of an increase in  interest  bearing  cash  equivalents,
other assets and a decrease in loans receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents increased from $22.6 million at September 30, 1998, to
$37.8 million at June 30, 1999, or an increase of $15.2 million. The Corporation
utilizes  excess  liquidity  to fund the  purchase of  treasury  shares and loan
originations. The increase in liquidity was primarily a result of prepayments on
mortgages and the sale of mortgage loans.

Securities  available for sale increased $7.1 million between June 30, 1999, and
September 30, 1998, as a result of purchases of such securities.

Securities held to maturity  decreased from $60.8 million at September 30, 1998,
to $47.8  million  at June 30,  1999.  The  proceeds  were used to help fund the
purchase of treasury  shares and pay dividends.  This decrease was primarily due
to $3.0 million of  securities  maturing  during the period and $10.0 million in
principal payments from mortgage-backed and related securities

Loans held for sale increased $4.2 million to $6.9 million at June 30, 1999 from
$2.7 million at September 30, 1998.  The increase is primarily due to Homeowners
pipeline of loans that are  funded,  but  payments  from the sales have not been
received.  As of June 30, 1999, the Bank and Homeowners had forward  commitments
to sell all of their  loans  held for  sale in the  secondary  market.  Payments
usually occur within fourteen days of funding.

Loans  receivable  decreased $15.3 million or 5.5% to $265.2 million at June 30,
1999,  from $280.6  million at  September  30,  1998.  Even  though  residential
mortgage  origination's  increased  by  $91.4  million  or  155.1%,  the sale of
residential  mortgages and the  prepayments  of loans  resulted in a decrease in
one-to-four  family  residential  mortgages of $27.3 million.  Agricultural  and
commercial business loans increased by $9.3 and $2.1 million,  respectively.  To
supplement  origination's,  the  Bank  purchased  $22.2  million  of  commercial
business loans and $3.4 million of  construction  loans.  The  commercial  loans
purchased meet the risk profile established by the Bank, generally have interest
rates  that are  based  on the  "Prime"  rate as  published  in the Wall  Street
Journal,  and provide the Bank with the opportunity to continue to diversify the
composition  of its loan  portfolio  and  shorten  the length of maturity of the
portfolio.

The following table sets forth information on loans originated and purchased for
the periods indicated:

as of June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998, respectively


Real estate owned at June 30, 1999,  totaled  $125,000,  which  consisted of two
single family residential properties.  No loss is expected in the disposition of
these properties.

Other assets  increased $7.5 million to $10.3 million at June 30, 1999 from $2.8
million at September 30, 1998. This increase was primarily due to goodwill added
upon the  purchase  of  Homeowners  and the  purchase  of  single  premium  life
insurance  policies.  The life  insurance  policies were  purchased to assist in
retaining key management personnel by providing a death benefit in excess of the
companies standard benefit of one times the employee's annual salary.

Deposits after interest credited  increased from $226.5 million at September 30,
1998,  to $235.0  million at June 30, 1999, an increase of $8.5 million or 3.8%.
Overall cost of funds on deposits decreased during the period 28 basis points as
the Bank  attempted  to  maintain  deposit  rates  consistent  with  marketplace
competitors.

Federal Home Loan Bank  ("FHLB")  borrowing  decreased  $3.2 million from $144.2
million at  September  30,  1998,  to $141.0  million at June 30,  1999,  due to
repayments.

The Corporation,  completed the repurchase of 169,154 shares of common stock and
when netted with the  exercise of 35,188 of stock  option  shares and the 77,839
shares used to purchase  Homeowners,  increased the number of treasury shares to
1,659,790 at June 30, 1999. Treasury shares are to be used for general corporate
purposes,  including the issuance of shares in  connection  with the exercise of
stock options.  Total stockholders'  equity decreased $3,000 since September 30,
1998.  Book value per share  increased  from $16.22 at September  30,  1998,  to
$16.28 at June 30, 1999.

Loans are  reviewed on a regular  basis and are placed on a  non-accrual  status
when, in the opinion of  management,  the  collection of additional  interest is
doubtful.  Loans are placed on a  non-accrual  status when either  principal  or
interest is 90 days or more past due.  Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a
loan is placed  on  non-accrual  status  is  charged  against  interest  income.
Subsequent  payments are either applied to the outstanding  principal balance or
recorded  as  interest  income,  depending  of the  assessment  of the  ultimate
collectibility of the loan.

During the nine months ended June 30, 1999, and 1998,  approximately $25,000 and
$50,000  respectively,  would have been  recorded  on loans  accounted  for on a
non-accrual  basis if such loans had been current according to the original loan
agreements for the entire period.  These amounts were not included in the Bank's
interest  income  for the  respective  periods.  No  interest  income  on  loans
accounted for on a non-accrual  basis was included in income during any of these
periods. During the periods indicated, the Bank held no foreign loans.

Net Income. The Corporation recorded net income of $525,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999,  as compared to net income of $ 767,000 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1998. This decrease in net income was $242,000 or 31.6%.

Total Interest  Income.  Total interest income  decreased by $287,000 or 3.8% to
$7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, from $7.5 million for the
three  months ended June 30, 1998.  This was  primarily  due to decreases in the
average balances of loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities. The average
yield on loans  decreased  to 8.20% for the quarter  ended June 30,  1999,  from
8.50% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, due to a general  decline in interest
rates. During this same period, the average yield on mortgage-

                                       10
<PAGE>

backed  securities  decreased 26 basis points (100 basis points  equals 1%). The
average  balance of  investment  securities  increased to $93.7  million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999,  from $ 66.2 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 as a result of loan  prepayments and the proceeds from mortgage loan sales.
The average yield decreased from 5.13% for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
to 4.72% for the same period in 1999,  as excess  funds were placed in overnight
or short-term  investments which provide lower yields but greater flexibility in
an increasing rate environment.

Total Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased to $4.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, from $4.7 million for the same period in 1998.
The average balance of  interest-bearing  deposits increased from $218.6 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1998, to $234.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999.  This  increase was  comprised of interest  credited and an
increase in all  categories  of deposit  accounts.  The average cost of deposits
decreased  30 basis  points from 4.63% for the three month period ended June 30,
1998,  to 4.33% for the same period in 1999,  due to the mix of  non-certificate
account balances increasing more than certificate  accounts. No assurance can be
made that deposits can be maintained in the future  without  further  increasing
the cost of funds if interest rates increase.  The average balance of borrowings
decreased  $2.4  million to $144.8.  million for the three months ended June 30,
1999,  from $147.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The cost of
such borrowings decreased by 28 basis points to 5.49% for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, from 5.77% for the same period in 1998.  Borrowings  decreased as
the Bank utilized the increase in deposits to meet liquidity needs.

Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income  decreased from $2.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, to $2.7 million for the same period ended June
30, 1999. Average  interest-earning  assets increased $9.4 million,  from $401.1
million for the three  months  ended June 30,  1998,  to $410.5  million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999,  while the average  yield on  interest-earning
assets decreased from 7.53% for 1998 to 7.08% for 1999. Average interest bearing
liabilities  increased by $13.5  million to $379.3  million for the three months
ended June 30,  1999,  from $365.8  million for the three  months ended June 30,
1998, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 5.09% for 1998
to 4.77% in 1999.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank's provision for loan losses was $114,000 for
the three months  ended June 30, 1999,  compared to $107,000 for the same period
in  1998.  Agricultural  loans,  land  and  commercial  real  estate  loans  and
commercial  business  loans are  generally  considered  to contain a higher risk
profile than single family residential mortgages.  In response to these changes,
management  has  increased  the  provision  for loan losses in order to maintain
allowance for loan losses at levels management  considers  adequate.  The Bank's
allowance  for loan losses was $1.3  million and $1.0  million at June 30, 1999,
and June 30, 1998, respectively. At June 30, 1999, the Bank's allowance for loan
losses  constituted  308.9% of  non-performing  assets as  compared to 123.9% of
non-performing  assets at June 30, 1998.  The  allowance  for losses on loans is
maintained at a level which is considered by management to be adequate to absorb
probable loan losses on existing loans that may become  uncollectible,  based on
an evaluation of the  collectibility  of loans,  prior loan loss  experience and
market  conditions.  The  evaluation  takes into  consideration  such factors as
changes  in the  nature  and  volume of the loan  portfolio,  overall  portfolio
quality,  review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that
may affect the  borrower's  ability to pay.  The  allowance  for loan  losses is
established  through a provision for loan losses  charged to expense.  While the
Bank  maintains  its  allowance  for losses at a level which it  considers to be
adequate,  there can be no assurances that further additions will not be made to
the loss allowances or that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts.

Non-interest  Income.  Total  non-interest  income increased $756,000 during the
three month period ended June 30, 1999,  to $1.4 million as compared to the same
period in 1998.  Gains on loans sold increased from $130,000 at June 30, 1998 to
$624,000 at June 30,  1999.  $138,000 of the increase was a result of fixed rate
mortgages  that were sold in the  secondary  market by the Bank because they did
not fit the interest rate risk profile of the Bank, and $356,000 of the increase
was due to the sale of loans made by  Homeowners.  Commission  income  increased
from $ 144,000 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1998, to $226,000 for the quarter
ended June 30,  1999.  This  increase  was  primarily  due to  insurance  agency
activities from the acquisition of Insurance Planners.  Since the acquisition of
Insurance  Planners  occurred on June 1, 1998,  the income amounts for 1998 only
include one month of insurance agency  activity.  Other service charges and fees
increased  from  $120,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998,  to $217,000
for the three  months  ended June 30,  1999,  primarily  due to an  increase  in
underwriting  fees as a result of the  acquisition of Homeowners,  which was not
present in third quarter 1998.

                                       11

Non-interest  expense.  Total  non-interest  expense increased $990,000 or 46.5%
over the periods compared. Compensation and benefits increased from $1.4 million
to $1.8 million or 33.5%,  due to the  acquisitions  of Homeowners and Insurance
Planners. Other factors contributing to the increase were the hiring of critical
management and related support positions, including marketing, community banking
and internal audit.  Occupancy and equipment  expense  increased by $217,000 due
primarily to the Homeowners and Insurance Planners acquisitions. Data processing
expense increased $35,000 to $160,000 for the period ended June 30, 1999, due to
processing  expenses  associated  with  the  increased  delivery  of  electronic
services to customers,  and to a lesser extent,  a a result of costs  associated
with the Corporation's Year 2000 compliance program. Professional fees increased
from  $72,000  for the third  quarter of fiscal  1998 to  $78,000  for the third
quarter of fiscal 1999. Other expenses increased $271,000 from the quarter ended
June 30, 1998 to $591,000 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1999 and was comprised
of  amortization  of  goodwill  as a result  of the  acquisitions  of  Insurance
Planners and Homeowners and an increase in marketing expenses.

Income Tax Expense. Income taxes decreased by $155,000 or 30.2%, to $358,000 for
the three month period ended June 30, 1999, from $513,000 for the same period in
1998, primarily due to the decrease of $397,000 in income before tax.

$22.0  million for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 , from $22.4  million for
the nine months ended June 30,  1998.  The yield on  mortgage-backed  securities
decreased to 4.80% and the yield on investment securities decreased to 4.77% for
the nine  months  ended June 30,  1999,  compared  to yields of 5.56% and 5.39%,

loans  receivable  decreased  to 8.28% for the nine months  ended June 30, 1999,
from 8.50% for the nine months ended June 30, 1998.

Total  Interest  Expense.  Total  interest  expense  remained  the same at $13.8
million  for the nine  months  ended June 30,  1999 and 1998.  Average  interest
bearing liabilities  increased from $ 358.9 million in 1998 to $379.1 million in
1999 and the cost of the  liabilities  decreased  from 5.13% for the nine months
ended June 30,  1998,  to 4.84% for the nine  months  ended June 30,  1999.  The
average cost of deposits  increased $287,000 and the average rate decreased from
4.66% to 4.43% during the comparison  period.  While average  borrowings for the
two periods  remained about the same, the cost of the borrowings  decreased from
5.81% to 5.48% due to the  downward  trend in interest  rates during much of the
period.  Management  can make no  assurances  regarding  the future  movement of
interest rates, which may impact earnings in future periods.

Net Interest  Income.  Net interest income  decreased from $ 8.6 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1998,  to $8.3 million for the same period ended June
30, 1999, a decrease of $380,000 or 4.4%. The average yield on  interest-earning
assets  decreased  from 7.58% to 7.11% during the two periods  while the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 5.13% to 4.84%.

Provision  for Loan  Losses.  The Bank's  provision  for loan loss  increased to
$342,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. See also  "Comparison
of the Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998-

Provision for Loan Losses."

Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $2.4 million during the
nine month period  ended June 30, 1999,  to $3.9 million as compared to the same
period in 1998.  Gains on loans sold increased from $241,000 at June 30, 1998 to
$1.9  million at June 30,  1999.  $444,000 of the increase was a result of fixed
rate mortgages that were sold in the secondary market by the Bank,  because they
did not fit the interest rate risk profile of the Bank,  and $1.2 million of the
increase  was due to the sale of loans  made by  Homeowners.  Commission  income
increased  from $ 273,000 for the nine months ended June 30,  1998,  to $672,000
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999. $364,000 of the increase in commissions
was a result of insurance agency  activities due to the acquisition of Insurance
Planners and $36,000 was due to the sale of federal crop insurance (an ancillary
activity of agricultural lending). Other service charges and fees increased from
$352,000  for the nine months  ended June 30,  1998,  to  $600,000  for the nine
months ended June 30, 1999, primarily due to an increase in underwriting fees as
a result of the acquisition of Homeowners.

Non-interest expense. Total non-interest expense increased $2.3 million or 37.2%
over the  periods  compared.  Compensation  and  benefits  increased  from $ 3.9
million to $5.1 million or 30.1%,  due to the  acquisitions  of  Homeowners  and
Insurance Planners.  Other factors  contributing to the increase were the hiring
of critical  management  and related  support  positions,  including  marketing,
community banking and internal audit.  Occupancy and equipment expense increased
by $346,000 due primarily to the Homeowners and Insurance Planners acquisitions.
Data processing  expense increased $60,000 to $424,000 for the period ended June
30, 1999,  due to processing  expenses  associated  with  increased  delivery of
electronic  services to customers,  and to a lesser  extent,  as a result of the
costs  associated  with  the   Corporation's   Year  2000  compliance   program.
Professional fees increased $22,000 to $233,000 over the periods compared. Other
expenses  increased  $642,000  from the nine months  ended June 30, 1998 to $1.6
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1999.  This was  comprised  mainly of
increases in expenses as a result of the acquisitions of Insurance  Planners and
Homeowners and an increase in marketing  expenses.  In addition,  $76,000 of the
increase  was due to goodwill  associated  with the  acquisitions  of  Insurance
Planners and Homeowners.

Income Tax Expense.  Income taxes decreased by $122,000 or 7.9%, to $1.4 million
for the nine month period  ended June 30,  1999,  from $1.5 million for the same
period  in 1998,  primarily  due to the  decrease  in income  before  tax and an
increase in non-deductible expenses.

Year 2000

The Year 2000 problem  exists  because many computer  programs use only the last
two  digits to refer to a year.  This  convention  could  affect  date-sensitive
calculations  that treat "00" as the year 1900,  rather than 2000. An additional
issue is that 1900 was not a leap  year,  whereas  the year 2000 is.  Therefore,
some programs may not properly provide for February 29, 2000. This anomaly could
result in miscalculations  when processing critical  date-sensitive  information
after December 31, 1999.

The following  discussion of the  implications  of the Year 2000 problem for the
Corporation  contains  numerous  forward looking  statements based on inherently
uncertain  information.  The  cost of the  project  and the  date on  which  the
Corporation plans to complete the internal Year 2000  modifications are based on
management's best estimates, which are derived utilizing a number of assumptions
of future events  including the continued  availability of internal and external
resources, third party modifications and other factors. However, there can be no
guarantee  that these  statements  will be  achieved  and actual  results  could
differ.  Moreover,  although  management  believes  it will be able to make  the
necessary  modifications  in advance,  there can be no guarantee that failure to
modify the systems would not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

The  Corporation  places a high degree of reliance on computer  systems of third
parties,  such as customers,  suppliers,  and other  financial and  governmental
institutions. Although the Corporation is assessing the readiness of these third
parties and  preparing  contingency  plans,  there can be no guarantee  that the
failure of these third  parties to modify  their  systems in advance of December
31, 1999 would not have a material adverse affect on the Corporation.

During fiscal 1998,  the Bank adopted a Year 2000  Compliance  Plan (the "Plan")
and  established  a  Year  2000  Compliance  Committee  (the  "Committee").  The
objectives of the Plan and the Committee are to prepare the  Corporation for the
new  millennium.  As recommended by the Office of Thrift  Supervision,  the Plan
encompasses the following phases: Awareness, Assessment,  Renovation, Validation
and Implementation.

These phases will enable the  Corporation to identify  risks,  develop an action
plan, and perform adequate testing and complete  affirmation that its processing
systems  will be Year 2000 ready.  Execution of the Plan is

                                       15

currently on target. The Bank has currently moved into Phase 5,  Implementation,
which  involves the  installation  and  application  of Year 2000 Ready systems.
Concurrently,  the  Corporation  is  also  addressing  some  issues  related  to
subsequent  phases.  Prioritization  of the most critical  applications has been
addressed,  along with  contract  and  service  agreements.  The  material  data
processing  functions for the Bank are performed and maintained by a third party
vendor.  The Bank has  maintained  ongoing  contact  with  this  vendor  so that
modification  of the software for Year 2000  readiness is a top priority and all
necessary  changes  have been  competed.  Testing of  critical  applications  is
complete. The Corporation has contacted all other material vendors and suppliers
regarding  their Year 2000 state of  readiness.  Each of these third parties has
delivered  written  assurance  to the Bank  that  they  expect  to be Year  2000
compliant prior to the Year 2000. The  Corporation has completed  contacting all
material  customers and  non-information  technology  suppliers  (i.e.,  utility
systems, telephone systems and security systems) regarding their Year 2000 state
of readiness.  The Implementation phase is to certify that systems are Year 2000
ready,   along  with  assurances  that  any  new  systems  are  compliant  on  a
going-forward  basis.  The  Implementation  phase is targeted for  completion by
September  30,  1999.  Also  added to the  implementation  phase  is a  customer
information  and  awareness  program.   This  is  being   accomplished   through
communication to our customers through  statement  stuffers and other brochures.
This is also being  accomplished  through  staff  training to help our employees
answer any question  that our customers  may have.  Monitoring  and managing the
Year 2000 project  will result in  additional  direct and indirect  costs to the
Corporation.  Direct costs  include  potential  charges by third party  software
vendors for product  enhancements,  costs involved in testing software  products
for  Year  2000   compliance,   and  any  resulting  costs  for  developing  and
implementing  contingency  plans for critical  software  products  which are not
enhanced.  Indirect  costs  will  principally  consist  of the time  devoted  by
existing  employees  in managing  software  vendor  progress,  testing  enhanced
software products and implementing any necessary contingency plans. Total direct
costs are  estimated  not to exceed  $50,000,  of which $40,000 has already been
expensed. Actual costs will be charged to earnings over the next three quarters,
as incurred.

The  Corporation  is  developing  remediation  contingency  plans  and  business
resumption contingency plans specific to the Year 2000. Remediation  contingency
plans address the actions to be taken if the current  approach to  remediating a
system is falling  behind  schedule  or  otherwise  appears to be in jeopardy of
failing to deliver a Year 2000 ready  system when  needed.  Business  resumption
contingency  plans address the actions that would be taken if critical  business
functions  can not be carried out in the normal  manner upon  entering  the next
century due to system or supplier failure.

Despite the best efforts of management to address this issue, the vast number of
external entities that have direct and indirect business  relationships with the
Corporation,  such as  public  utilities,  customers,  vendors,  payment  system
providers and other financial institutions, makes it impossible to assure that a
failure to achieve  compliance by one or more of these  entities  would not have
material adverse impact on the operations of the Bank.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Corporation's primary sources for funds are deposits, borrowings,  principal
and interest  payments on loans,  investments  and  mortgage-backed  securities,
sales of mortgage  loans,  and funds  provided by  operations.  While  scheduled
payments on loans,  mortgage-backed  securities and short-term  investments  are
relatively  predictable source of funds, deposit flows and early loan repayments
are greatly  influenced  by general  interest  rates,  economic  conditions  and
competition.

The Bank is required  under federal  regulations to maintain  certain  specified
levels of "liquid  investments",  which include certain United States government
obligations  and other approved  investments.  Federal  regulations  reduced the
requirement  for Banks to maintain  liquid assets from 5% to not less than 4% of
its net  withdrawable  accounts plus short term  borrowing,  and  eliminated the
requirement  to  maintain  not less than 1% of short term  liquid  asset of such
accounts and borrowings.  The Bank's regulatory  liquidity was 15.5% and 6.3% at
June 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The options from the previous method were
used in the current period, which are more restrictive.

The amount of  certificate  accounts  which are  scheduled to mature  during the
twelve months ending March 31, 2000, was  approximately  $106.8 million.  To the
extent  that these  deposits do not remain at the Bank upon  maturity,  the Bank
believes that it can replace these funds with new  deposits,  excess  liquidity,
and FHLB advances or outside borrowings.  It has been the Bank's experience that
substantial portions of such maturing deposits remain at the Bank.

                                       16

At June 30, 1999, the Bank and Homeowners  had loan  commitments  outstanding of
$4.1 million.  Funds required to fill these  commitments  are derived  primarily
from current excess liquidity, loan sales, advances, deposit inflows or loan and
security repayments.


Regulations require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of tangible
capital  and  leverage  capital to average  assets,  and  risk-based  capital to
risk-weighted  assets. The following table sets forth the Bank's actual capital,
required  capital  amounts  and  ratios at June 30,  1999  which,  at that date,
exceeded the capital adequacy requirements:

Management  believes that under current  regulations,  the Bank will continue to
meet its minimum capital  requirements in the foreseeable future.  Events beyond
the control of the Bank,  such as increased  interest rates or a downturn in the
economy  in areas in which  the Bank  operates  could  adversely  affect  future
earnings  and as a result,  the  ability of the Bank to meet its future  minimum
capital requirements.

There were no significant  changes for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, from
the  information  presented in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 1998, concerning quantitative disclosures about market risk.


IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements of the  Corporation and notes
thereto,  presented  elsewhere  herein,  have been prepared in  accordance  with
Generally Accepted Accounting  Principles (GAAP), which requires the measurement
of  financial  position and  operating  results in terms of  historical  dollars
without  considering the change in the relative  purchasing  power of money over
time due to  inflation.  The impact of inflation  is reflected in the  increased
cost of the Corporation's operations.  Unlike most industrial companies,  nearly
all the assets and liabilities of the  Corporation  are financial.  As a result,
interest rates have a greater impact on the  Corporation's  performance  than do
the general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily  move in the
same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
