                      FSF FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2000

NOTE 1- PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
         The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three
         months ended June 30, 2000, include the accounts of FSF Financial Corp.
         (the  "Corporation")  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,   Insurance
         Planners of Hutchinson,  Inc. (the "Agency") and First Federal fsb (the
         "Bank")  with its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Firstate  Services  and
         Homeowners Mortgage Corporation ("HMC"). 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  compete
         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 three  and nine  month
         periods  ended June 30, 2000,  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
         results  which may be expected for the entire  fiscal year or any other
         future  period.  For  further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
         financial  statements and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's
         Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999.

NOTE 3- BUSINESS SEGMENTS
         The Corporation's  reportable business segments are business units that
         offer  different  products  and  services  which are  marketed  through
         various  channels.  The  Corporation  has identified  its  wholly-owned
         subsidiaries,  the Bank  and  HMC,  as  reportable  business  segments.
         Firstate  Services,  the Agency and FSF  Financial  Corp.  (the Holding
         Company)  did not  meet the  quantitative  thresholds  for  determining
         reportable segments and therefore are included in the "other" category.

NOTE 4- EARNINGS PER SHARE
         The earnings per share amounts were computed using the weighted  number
         of shares outstanding during the periods presented. For the three month
         periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000,  the weighted  average  number of
         shares   outstanding   for  basic  and  diluted   earnings   per  share
         computations were 2,876,708 and 2,308,202,  respectively.  For the nine
         month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, the weighted average number
         of shares outstanding were 2,684,532 and 2,442,713,  respectively.  The
         difference between the basic and diluted earnings per share denominator
         is the effect of stock based compensation plans.

                      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, 2000 and September 30, 1999, totaled
$456.1 million and $418.1  million.  This increase of $38.0 million was a result
of an increase in loans receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.2 million from $19.3 million at September
30, 1999, to $16.1 million at June 30, 2000.  The  Corporation  utilized  excess
liquidity  to fund the  purchase  of  treasury  shares  and  loan  originations;
however, the decrease was mainly a result of new loan originations.

Securities  available  for sale  decreased  $334,000  between  June 30, 2000 and
September 30, 1999, as a result of market value changes.

Securities held to maturity  decreased from $47.5 million at September 30, 1999,
to $46.5  million  at June 30,  2000.  The  proceeds  were used to help fund the
purchase of treasury  shares and pay dividends.  This decrease was primarily due
to $570,000 of securities maturing during the period and principal payments from
mortgage-backed and related securities.

Loans held for sale  decreased  $415,000 to $4.9 million at June 30, 2000,  from
$5.3 million at September  30, 1999.  As of June 30, 2000,  the Bank and HMC 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  increased $42.3 million or 15.2% to $320.6 million at June 30,
2000, from $278.3 million at September 30, 1999.  Total  residential real estate
and construction loan originations decreased by $42.2 million, and when combined
with the sale and prepayments of residential  mortgages,  resulted in a decrease
in  one-to-four  family  residential  mortgages and  construction  loans of $9.6
million.  Agricultural and commercial  business loans increased by $10.2 million
and $5.4 million,  respectively. To supplement originations,  the Bank purchased
$23.3 million of commercial  business loans. The commercial loans purchased that
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 and shorten the length of maturity of the loan portfolio.

Real estate owned at June 30, 2000, totaled $73,000, which consisted of a single
family  residential  property.  No loss is expected in the  disposition  of this
property.

Deposits,  after interest  credited,  increased from $231.7 million at September
30, 1999,  to $272.6  million at June 30, 2000,  an increase of $40.9 million or
17.7%.  Overall  cost of funds on deposits  during the period  increased 6 basis
points as the Bank attempted to maintain  deposit rates  consistent  with market
place competitors. Demand deposits increased $2.1 million or 6.4% from September
30,  1999 when  compared  to June 30,  2000,  and is a result  of the  continued
diversification  of the Bank's loan portfolio.  Savings accounts increased 14.9%
during the same  periods due to  increasing  balances in the Bank's  First Prime
Savings  account.  Certificates  of deposit  increased  $27.2 million.  The Bank
utilized the deposit growth to fund the continued loan growth.

Federal Home Loan Bank  ("FHLB")  borrowing  decreased  $1.0 million from $141.0
million at  September  30,  1999,  to $140.0  million at June 30,  2000,  due to
principal amortization.

The Corporation completed the repurchase of 371,432 shares of common stock which
increased the number of treasury shares to 2,066,822 at June 30, 2000.  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 has decreased  $2.7 million since  September 30, 1999,  mainly due to the
stock  repurchased.  Book value per share increased from $16.32 at September 30,
1999, to $17.57 at June 30, 2000.

Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on non-accrual status when,
in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful.
Loans are  generally  placed on  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  on the  assessment  of the  ultimate
collectibility of the loan.


The  following  table  sets  forth   information  with  respect  to  the  Bank's
non-performing assets for the periods indicated:

During the nine months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  approximately  $57,243 and
$24,000 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 and
no interest income on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis was included in
income during any of these periods  either.  During the periods  indicated,  the
Bank held no foreign loans.

Net Income
The Corporation  recorded net income of $954,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2000, as compared to net income of $525,000 for the three month period ended
June 30, 1999. This increase in net income was $429,000 or 81.7%.

Total Interest Income
Total interest income increased by $1.2 million or 16.4% to $8.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000. The average yield on loans  increased to 8.96%
for the quarter  ended June 30, 2000,  from 8.20% for the quarter ended June 30,
1999. During the same period,  the average yield on  mortgage-backed  securities
increased 34 basis points (100 basis points  equals 1%). The average  balance of
investment  securities decreased to $55.1 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2000,  from $93.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was
the  result of  securities  that  matured,  securities  that were  called  and a
reduction in the Bank's  liquidity.  The average yield  increased from 4.72% for
the three months ended June 30, 1999,  to 5.45% for the same period in 2000,  as
excess funds or  short-term  investments,  which  provided  lower  yields,  were
deployed into other higher earning assets.

Total Interest Expense
Total interest expense increased to $5.1 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000,  from $4.5 million for the same period in 1999. The average balance of
interest-bearing  deposits  increased  from $234.5  million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999, to $251.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000,
mainly due to an increase in certificate of deposit  accounts.  The average cost
of deposits  increased  36 basis  points  from 4.33% for the three month  period
ended June 30, 1999,  to 4.69% for the same period in 2000,  due to increases in
the rates  offered by the Bank.  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  $3.9
million to $140.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000,  from $144.8
million for the three months ended June 30,  1999.  The cost of such  borrowings
increased  by 50 basis points to 5.99% for the three months ended June 30, 2000,
from  5.49%  for the same  period  in  1999.  Borrowings  decreased  as the Bank
utilized  repayments  of loans and the  increase in  deposits to meet  liquidity
needs.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income  increased from $2.7 million for the three months ended June
30,  1999,  to $3.4  million for the same period  ended June 30,  2000.  Average
interest-earning assets increased $3.5 million from $410.5 million for the three
months  ended June 30, 1999,  to $414.0  million for the three months ended June
30, 2000,  while the average yield on those  interest-earning  assets  increased
from  7.08%  for 1999 to 8.14% for 2000.  Average  interest-bearing  liabilities
increased by $12.9 million to $392.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000,  from $379.3  million for the three months ended June 30, 1999,  while the
cost of those interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.77% in 1999 to 5.16%
in 2000.

Provision for Loan Losses
The  Corporation's  provision  for loan losses was $54,000 for the three  months
ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $114,000 for the same period in 1999. During
fiscal 1999, the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio changed substantially.
Generally,  agricultural  loans,  land and  commercial  real  estate  loans  and
commercial  business  loans are considered to contain a higher risk profile than
single  family  residential  mortgages.  In order to account for the higher risk
profile associated with the loan portfolio changes,  additional  provisions were
utilized to help maintain  reserves at adequate levels;  however,  the provision
was reduced in fiscal 2000. The Corporation's allowance for loan losses was $1.5
million at June 30, 2000 and $1.3  million at June 30,  1999,  respectively.  At
June 30, 2000, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses constituted 121.2% of
non-performing assets as compared to 308.9% of non-performing assets at June 30,
1999.  The  allowance  for  looses on loans is  maintained  at a level  which is
considered by management  to be adequate to absorb  probable  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  charges  to  expense.  While  the  Corporation  maintains  its
allowance for losses at a level which it considers to be adequate,  there can be
no assurance 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 decreased $256,000 during the three month period ended
June 30, 2000, to $1.1 million,  as compared with the same period in 1999. Gains
on loans sold  decreased from $624,000 at June 30, 1999, to $246,000 at June 30,
2000,  which was  primarily due to rising  interest  rates which slowed down the
purchase and refinance markets. Continued increases in interest rates may affect
the ability to generate new loans. Commission income increased from $226,000 for
the quarter  ended June 30,  1999,  to $294,000  for the quarter  ended June 30,
2000, while other service charges and fees decreased from $217,000 for the three
months  ended June 30,  1999,  to $168,000  for the three  months ended June 30,
2000, as a result of reduced mortgage loan originations.  Other income increased
$52,000 for the three  months ended June 30, 2000,  which was  primarily  due to
$55,000 of income on  investments  in  insurance  policies  not present in third
quarter 1999.

Non-interest Expense
Total non-interest expense decreased $250,000 or 8.0% over the periods compared.
Compensation  and  benefits  decreased  from $1.8 million to $1.6 million and is
partially offset by an increase in professional fees. As a result of discussions
being  held with the U.S.  Department  of Labor,  the Bank may have to alter the
manner  in  which  it  compensates  some  of its  employees,  which  may  impact
compensation  expense  and/or the Bank's  ability to generate  additional  loans
and/or  deposits.  Occupancy and equipment  expense  decreased by $67,000.  Data
processing  expense  increased $19,000 to $179,000 for the period ended June 30,
2000,  due to processing  expenses  associated  with the  increased  delivery of
electronic  services to customers.  Professional fees increased from $78,000 for
the third  quarter of fiscal  1999 to $112,000  for the third  quarter of fiscal
2000,  due to  outsourcing  of  some  services  related  to  personnel  changes,
additional audit  requirements and the discussions with the Department of Labor.
Other  expenses  decreased from $591,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, to
$573,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

Income Tax Expense
Income  taxes  increased  by $252,000 or 70.4%,  to $610,000 for the three month
period ended June 30, 2000, from $358,000 for the same period in 1999, which was
primarily due to an increase of $681,000 in income before tax. The effective tax
rate  decreased by 1.5% for the same periods as the result of an increase in tax
exempt income of $79,000.

Net Income
The  Corporation  recorded  net income of $2.6 million for the nine months ended
June 30,  2000,  as  compared  to net income of $2.1  million for the nine month
period ended June 30, 1999. This increase in net income was $572,000 or 27.8%.

Total Interest Income
Total interest income increased by $1.7 million or 7.7% to $23.8 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2000.  The average yield on loans  increased to 8.66%
for the nine months  ended June 30,  2000,  from 8.28% for the nine months ended
June 30, 1999.  During the same  period,  the average  yield on  mortgage-backed
securities  increased 118 basis points (100 basis points equals 1%). The average
balance of investment  securities decreased to $57.1 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2000, from $90.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1999.
This decrease was a result of  securities  that  matured,  securities  that were
called  and a  reduction  in the  Corporation's  liquidity.  The  average  yield
increased  from 4.77% for the nine months ended June 30, 1999,  to 5.38% for the
same period in 2000, as excess funds or short-term  investments,  which provided
lower yields, were deployed into other higher earning assets.

Total Interest Expense
Total interest expense increased to $14.1 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2000, from $13.8 million for the same period in 1999. The average balance of
interest-bearing  deposits  increased  from  $233.1  million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999, to $237.9  million for the nine months ended June 30, 2000.
The average  cost of deposits  increased 2 basis  points from 4.43% for the nine
months ended June 30, 1999, to 4.45% for the same period in 2000, due to the mix
of  non-certificate  account balances  decreasing more than certificate  account
balances. 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 $6.2 million to $139.8 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2000,  from $146.0  million for the nine months ended
June 30, 1999. The cost of such borrowings increased by 36 basis points to 5.84%
for the nine months ended June 30, 2000, from 5.48% for the same period in 1999.
Borrowings  decreased  as the  Corporation  utilized  repayments  of  loans  and
mortgage-backed securities to meet liquidity needs.

Net Interest Income
Net interest  income  increased from $8.3 million for the nine months ended June
30,  1999,  to $9.7  million for the same period  ended June 30,  2000.  Average
interest-earning  assets  decreased  $12.1 million,  from $412.5 million for the
nine months  ended June 30,  1999,  to $400.4  million for the nine months ended
June  30,  2000,  while  the  average  yield on  those  interest-earning  assets
increased  from  7.11%  for 1999 to 7.91%  for  2000.  Average  interest-bearing
liabilities  decreased  by $1.4  million to $377.7  million  for the nine months
ended June 30,  2000,  from $379.1  million  for the nine months  ended June 30,
1999, while the overall cost of those interest-bearing  liabilities increased 12
basis points to 4.96%.

Provision for Loan Losses
The  Corporation's  provision for loan losses decreased to $162,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2000,  from $342,000 for the same period in 1999. See also
"Comparison  of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 Provision for Loan

1.   Includes one-to-four family and multi-family residential real estate loans.

Non-interest Income
Total  non-interest  income  decreased  $361,000 for the nine month period ended
June 30, 2000,  to $3.6 million,  as compared with the same period in 1999.  HMC
was acquired on November 17, 1998, and as a result, the consolidated  statements
of income  reflect nine full months of income and expense for HMC in fiscal 2000
but only seven and a half months of income and expense for fiscal 1999. Gains on
loans sold decreased from $1.9 million at June 30, 1999, to $838,000 at June 30,
2000,  primarily due to rising interest rates which slowed down the purchase and
refinance  markets.  Continued  increases  in interest  rates  could  affect the
ability to generate new loans. Commission income increased from $672,000 for the
nine months ended June 30, 1999,  to $828,000 for the nine months ended June 30,
2000.  Other service  charges and fees  remained  about the same for the periods
compared.  Other  income  increased  $306,000 for the nine months ended June 30,
2000, to $378,000,  mainly due to $233,000 of income on investments in insurance
policies not present in fiscal year 1999 and profit from the sale of property of
$86,000.

Non-interest Expense
Total non-interest expense increased $419,000 or 5.0% over the periods compared.
Compensation  and benefits  increased from $5.1 million to $5.2 million or 2.0%,
primarily  due to the  acquisition  of  HMC.  Occupancy  and  equipment  expense
increased by $58,000,  largely from the HMC  acquisition  also.  Data processing
expense increased $86,000 to $510,000 for the period ended June 30, 2000, due to
processing  expenses  associated  with  the  increased  delivery  of  electronic
services to customers,  and to a lesser extent,  as a result of costs associated
with the Corporation's Year 2000 readiness program.  Professional fees increased
from $233,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 to $279,000 for the first
nine months of fiscal 2000.  Other expenses  increased from $1.6 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1999,  to $1.7 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2000, and was comprised of increased expenses as a result of the acquisition
of HMC and the goodwill amortization associated with it.

Income Tax Expense
Income  taxes  increased  by $255,000 to $1.7  million for the nine month period
ended June 30,  2000.  The  effective  tax rate  decreased  by 1.5% for the same
periods as the result of an increase in tax exempt income of $233,000.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Corporation's primary sources of 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 sources 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  borrowings  and eliminated the
requirement  to maintain not less than 1% of  short-term  liquid  assets of such
accounts and borrowings.  The Bank's regulatory  liquidity was 6.0% and 15.5% at
June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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 June 30, 2001, is  approximately  $115.9  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.

At June 30, 2000, the Bank and HMC had outstanding loan commitments of $243,000.
Funds  required to meet 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,  2000,  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.

It has been the Bank's  policy that  employees of the Bank who hold the title of
"personal banker" or "mortgage banker" are salaried employees and do not receive
overtime  compensation  and are not required to maintain a time card (an "exempt
employee").  During a routine  audit of the Bank by the  Department  of Labor in
February  2000,  they did not agree  with the  Bank's  exempt  policy  regarding
personal bankers or mortgage  bankers.  As a result,  for the three months ended
June 30, 2000, the Company accrued  approximately  $16,600 in  compensation  and
benefits expense due personal bankers.  However, the Company does not agree with
the  Department of Labor's  determination  that  employees who are classified as
mortgage bankers should be considered a non-exempt  employee and has engaged the
services  of  outside  legal  counsel  in an  attempt  to  resolve  this  issue.
Currently,  costs  incurred in regard to the  resolution  of this matter are not
estimable but the Company does not believe that the costs to resolve this matter
will have a material affect on the Company's financial  statements.  However, if
the Department of Labor's position regarding  classification of mortgage bankers
prevails,  the  Company's  ability to generate  mortgage  loans in a  profitable
manner may be adversely affected in the future.

There were no significant  changes for the nine months ended June 30, 2000, from
the  information  presented in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 1999, concerning quantitative disclosures about market risk.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material  changes from the information  regarding market risk
disclosed   under  the  heading   "Asset  and  Liability   Management"   in  the
Corporation's Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 1999.

Further,  the subsidiary  Bank paid a dividend to the Parent  Corporation in the
amount of $3.0  million in  December  1999 and $3.0  million in May 2000,  which
reduced the Bank's regulatory  capital and net portfolio value.  These were used
by the Corporation to purchase treasury shares and pay dividends.

The following  table sets forth the present value  estimates of the Bank at June
30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, as calculated by its NPV Model. The table shows
the NPV of the Bank  under  rate shock  scenarios  of -300 basis  points to +300
basis points in increments of 100 basis points.  As market rates  increase,  the
market value of the Bank's  large  portfolio  of mortgage  loans and  securities
declines  significantly and prepayments are slow. As rates decrease,  the market
value of mortgage loans and securities  increase only modestly due to prepayment
risk,  periodic rate caps and other embedded  options.  Actual changes in market
value will differ from estimated  changes set forth in this table due to various
risks and uncertainties.
