                              GUTHRIE SAVINGS, INC.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)



1.    Basis of Presentation

      The  accompanying   unaudited   financial   statements  were  prepared  in
      accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and, accordingly,  do not
      include all  information and  disclosures  necessary to present  financial
      condition,  results of operations and cash flows of Guthrie Savings,  Inc.
      (the "Company") and its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Guthrie Federal Savings
      Bank  (the  "Bank")  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
      principles.  However,  all  normal  recurring  adjustments  have been made
      which,  in  the  opinion  of  management,   are  necessary  for  the  fair
      presentation of the financial statements.

      The results of operation for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997
      are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results which may be expected for
      the year ending March 31, 1998.

2.    Mutual - To - Stock Conversion

      On February 8, 1994,  the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a Plan of
      Conversion  to convert  from a state  chartered  mutual  savings  and loan
      association  to  a  federally   chartered  stock  savings  bank  with  the
      concurrent formation of Guthrie Savings,  Inc. to act as a holding company
      of the Bank (the "Conversion").

      At the date of  conversion,  October 11, 1994,  the Company  completed the
      sale of 515,125 shares of common stock, $.01 par value, through concurrent
      subscription and community offerings at $10.00 per share.  Included in the
      total shares  outstanding  are 41,210  shares which were  purchased by the
      Bank's ESOP at $10.00 per share.  Net proceeds from the conversion,  after
      recognizing  conversion  expenses and underwriting  costs of $382,975 were
      $4,768,275. From the net proceeds, the company used $2,384,138 to purchase
      all of the capital  stock of the Bank and $412,100 to fund the purchase of
      41,210 shares of the company stock by the ESOP.

      Subsequent to the conversion, neither the Bank nor the Company may declare
      or pay cash dividends on any of their shares of common stock if the effect
      would  be to  reduce  stockholders'  equity  below  applicable  regulatory
      capital  requirements  or if such  declaration and payment would otherwise
      violate regulatory requirements. Additionally, the Bank may not declare or
      pay a cash dividend to the Company if the effect would cause the net worth
      of the Bank to be reduced  below the amount  required for the  liquidation
      account (amounting to $3,410,000 as of date of conversion).

7.    Financial Instruments With Off Balance-Sheet Risk/Commitments
      
      The bank is a party to financial instruments with  off-balance-sheet  risk
      in the  normal  course  of  business  to meet the  financial  needs of its
      customers  and to reduce its own  exposure  to  fluctuations  in  interest
      rates. These financial  instruments  include  commitments to extend credit
      and commitments to sell investments. These instruments involve, to varying
      degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
      recognized  in the  Statement  of  Financial  Condition.  The  contract or
      notional  amounts of those  instruments  reflect the extent of involvement
      the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.

      The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of  non-performance by the
      other  party  to  the  financial   instrument  for  loan   commitments  is
      represented by the contractual  notional amount of those instruments.  The
      Bank uses the same credit  policies in making  commitments  as it does for
      on-balance-sheet instruments.

      At December 31, 1997, the Bank had no outstanding commitments to fund real
      estate loans.

8.    Earnings Per Share

      Basic  earnings  per share is  computed by dividing  income  available  to
      common  stockholders  by the  weighted-average  number  of  common  shares
      outstanding  for the  period.  Diluted  earnings  per share  reflects  the
      potential  dilution that could occur if  securities or other  contracts to
      issue common stock (potential common stock) were exercised or converted to
      common stock.  For the periods  presented  potential common stock includes
      outstanding stock options and nonvested stock awarded under the Management
      Stock Bonus Plan.

                  Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


General:

      Guthrie  Savings,  Inc. (the  "Company")  was organized in May 1994 as the
holding  company for Guthrie  Federal  Savings  Bank (the  "Bank").  The Company
issued its common stock in a Subscription  and Community  Offering in connection
with the conversion of Guthrie Federal  Savings Bank from a federally  chartered
mutual savings and loan association to a federally  chartered stock savings bank
and the issuance of all of the Bank's outstanding  capital stock to the Company.
The Offering  closed on October 11, 1994 with the issuance of 515,125  shares of
common stock in Guthrie Savings, Inc.

      Apart from the  operations of the Bank,  the Company did not engage in any
significant  operations  during the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The Bank is
primarily engaged in the business of accepting  deposits from the general public
and using these funds to originate  traditional real estate loans on one-to-four
family  dwellings along with consumer  loans.  When deposit inflows exceeds loan
demand,  the Bank will also purchase  mortgage-backed  securities and investment
securities.


Management Strategy:

      Management's  strategy has been to enhance earnings and  profitability and
increase capital while  maintaining  asset quality.  The Bank's lending strategy
has historically  focused on the origination of traditional  one-to-four  family
mortgage  loans with the primary  emphasis on single  family  residences  in the
Logan  County  area.  Its  secondary  focus has been on consumer  loans,  second
mortgage  loans and deposit loans and when  available  funds exceed loan demand,
the purchase of  mortgage-backed  securities  and  investment  securities.  This
focus, along with the adherence to underwriting standards, is designed to reduce
the risk of loss on the loan portfolio.  The lack of diversification in its loan
portfolio  structure does increase the Bank's  portfolio  concentration  risk by
making the value of the portfolio  more  susceptible  to declines in real estate
values in its market area.  Management  has made an effort to mitigate this risk
through the acquisition of mortgage-backed securities.

Results of  Operations:  Comparison of the three months ended  December 31, 1996
and 1997 and the nine months ended December 31, 1996 and 1997.


      Net income decreased  $14,638 or 10.56% from $138,682 for the three months
ended  December 31, 1996 to $124,044  for the three  months  ended  December 31,
1997. This decrease was primarily the result of the gain on the sale of the U.S.
Savings League Stock during the quarter ended December 31, 1996.

      Net income increased  $143,355 or 59.60% from $240,546 for the nine months
ended December 31, 1996 to $383,901 for the nine months ended December 31, 1997.
This increase is the result of the special  assessment  to  capitalize  the SAIF
fund during the nine months ended  December 31, 1996,  offset by the gain on the
sale of the U.S. Savings League Stock for the same period.

      On  September  30,  1996,  President  Clinton  signed into law a bill that
provided for a special assessment of SAIF insured institutions amounting to 65.7
basis points applied to the  institutions  deposit base measured as of March 31,
1995.  The total amount of the special  assessment for Guthrie  Federal  Savings
Bank was  $224,776,  which was accrued as of September  30, 1996 and included in
expense for the nine months ended December 31, 1996. The after tax effect of the
assessment  was to reduce  net  income by  approximately  $147,000  for the nine
months ended December 31, 1996.  Without the effect of the assessment net income
would have been  approximately  $387,000 for the nine months ended  December 31,
1996.  Earnings per share without the effect of the  assessment  would have been
approximately $.89 for the nine months ended December 31, 1996. Capitalizing the
insurance fund resulted in lowering future premiums for insurance on deposits.

     Net interest  income before  provision  for losses on loans,  for the three
months ended December 31, 1997 increased  $10,555 or 2.48% compared to the three
months ended  December 31, 1996,  from  $425,603 to $436,158.  This increase was
mainly due to an  increase  in interest  on loans  offset by  increased  cost of
deposits.  Interest income on loans  increased  $42,718 or 8.32% for the quarter
ended  December  31,  1997 due to an  increase  in loan  originations.  Interest
expense on deposits for the three months ended December 31, 1996 compared to the
three months ended  December 31, 1997 increased by $9,227 or 2.43% due to slight
increase in certificate  deposits.  Interest  income on investments and mortgage
backed  securities  decreased  $56,422 or 14.43% due to  securities  maturing or
being  called.  This  decrease  in  investment  interest  income was offset by a
decrease in interest expense on borrowed money of $33,486.  Borrowings were paid
down as securities matured or were called.

      Net interest  income before  provision  for losses on loans,  for the nine
months ended December 31, 1997 increased  $2,736 or .21% from $1,332,753 for the
nine months  ended  December  30, 1996 to  $1,335,489  for the nine months ended
December  30,  1997.  Interest  expense on deposits  for the nine months  period
decreased  $322 from  $1,156,295  for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 to
$1,155,973  for the nine  months  ended  December  31,  1997.  This  decrease in
interest on deposits  was offset by an increase in interest  expense on borrowed
money of $57,614 from  $202,662  for the nine months ended  December 31, 1996 to
$260,276 for the nine months ended December 31, 1997.  This increase in interest
expense  on  borrowed  money was the  result of the  matching  of spreads on new
investments with additional borrowings. Interest income increased $60,028 due to
new purchases of mortgage backed securities and origination of new loans.

      Provision  for loan losses  increased  from $0 for the three  months ended
December 31, 1996 to $1,395 for the three months ended  December 31, 1997.  This
increase was based on  management's  evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses.

      The  provision  for losses on loans  increased  for the nine months  ended
December 31, 1997 $2,216 or 450.41% from $492 for the nine months ended December
31, 1996 to $2,708 for the nine months ended  December 31, 1997.  This  increase
was based on  management's  evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses.

      Non-interest income decreased $39,718 or 43.43% from $91,457 for the three
months ended  December  31, 1996 to $51,739 for the three months ended  December
31, 1997.  This  decrease was  primarily  due to a gain on sale of U.S.  Savings
League Stock of $46,376 in the quarter  ended  December  31, 1996.  There was an
increase  in service  charges and late fees of $9,363,  during the three  months
ended  December 31, 1997  compared to the three months ended  December 31, 1996,
due to loan fees from increased loan originations.

      Non-interest  income for the nine months ended  December 31, 1997 was down
$31,207 or 16.11% from  $193,744 for the nine months ended  December 31, 1996 to
$162,537  for the nine months ended  December 31, 1997,  for the same reasons as
noted above.

      Non-interest  expense  decreased  $14,970 or 4.87% from  $307,378  for the
three  months  ended  December  31, 1996 to $292,408  for the three months ended
December 31, 1997. The primary source for the decrease in  non-interest  expense
was  the  reduction  in  the  SAIF  insurance  assessment.  The  SAIF  insurance
assessment  was reduced  January 1, 1997 to  approximately  6.4 basis  points of
deposits on an annual basis from the previous  level of 23 basis points.  Due to
the decrease in assessment  the premium for the three months ended  December 31,
1996 compared to December 31, 1997  decreased  $15,541 or 74.20% from $20,942 to
$5,401.

      Non-interest  expense for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 was down
$264,742  or 22.82%  from that for the nine  months  ended  December  31,  1996.
Non-interest  expense  decreased from $1,160,359 for the nine month period ended
December 31, 1996 to $895,617 for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997.
The  primary  source for the  decrease  in  non-interest  expense was due to the
special  assessment to capitalize the SAIF insurance fund during the nine months
ended December 31, 1996. The SAIF  insurance  assessment was reduced  January 1,
1997 as stated above.  Due to this  decrease in  assessment  the premium for the
nine months  ended  December 31, 1996  compared to December  31, 1997  decreased
$45,666 or 73.83% from $61,855 to $16,189.

      Income tax  expense  decreased  $950 or 1.34% from  $71,000  for the three
months ended  December  31, 1996 to $70,050 for the three months ended  December
31,  1997.  Income tax expense for the nine months  ended  December 31, 1996 was
$125,100  compared to  $215,800  for the same  period in 1997.  The  increase in
income tax expense for the nine month  period ended  December 31, 1997  resulted
from an increase in pretax  income  largely  attributable  to the accrual of the
special SAIF assessment  during the prior year. Tax benefit  attributable to the
SAIF assessment was approximately $78,000 for the nine months ended December 31,
1996.

Earnings Per Share:

      Effective with the quarter ended  December 31, 1997,  the Company  adopted
the provisions of Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings
per Share.  The  Statement is to be applied to financial  statements  issued for
periods  ending after  December 15, 1997,  including  interim  periods;  earlier
application is not permitted.  The Statement requires  restatement of all prior-
period earnings per share (EPS) data presented.

      FAS No. 128  simplifies  the  standards  for  computing EPS and makes them
comparable to  international  EPS  standards.  It replaces the  presentation  of
primary EPS with a presentation  of basic EPS. It also requires  presentation of
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income  statement for all entities with
complex  capital  structures.  Basic EPS  excluded  dilution  and is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average  number
of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were  exercised  or  converted  into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common  stock that then shared in the  earnings of the  company.  Diluted EPS is
computed similarly to the previously presented fully diluted earnings per share.


Liquidity and Capital Resources:


      The Bank is required  under  applicable  federal  regulations  to maintain
specified  levels  of  "liquid"   investments  in  qualifying  types  of  U.  S.
Government, federal agency and other investments having maturities of five years
or less. Current Office of Thrift Supervision  ("OTS")  regulations require that
the bank maintain liquid assets of not less than 4% of its average daily balance
of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less.
Guthrie's  liquidity ratio was 17.37% at December 31, 1997.  Management  manages
its  liquidity  ratio to meet its  funding  needs  for  deposit  outflows,  loan
principal  disbursements,  operating  expenses,  and  disbursements  of payments
collected  from  borrowers  for taxes and  insurance.  The Bank also manages its
liquidity ratio to meet its asset/liability management objectives.

      The  Bank's  primary  sources  of funds  are  deposits,  amortization  and
prepayment  of loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  maturities of investment
securities  and funds  provided by  operations.  In addition the Bank may borrow
funds from time to time from the Federal  Home Loan Bank of Topeka.  At December
31, 1997 the Bank had $0  borrowed  on its line of credit from the Federal  Home
Loan Bank. The available line of credit  currently is set at $3,000,000  with an
adjustable  interest  rate.  The Bank  draws  against  the  line to met  current
liquidity needs. Besides the line of credit the Bank has a fixed rate advance of
$2,000,000 and  $2,196,000 in adjustable  rate advances at the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Topeka outstanding at December 31, 1997.

      Scheduled  loan  repayments  and  maturing  investment  securities  are  a
relatively  predictable  source of funds.  However,  savings  deposit  flows and
prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities are influenced significantly
by  changes in market  interest  rates,  economic  conditions  and  competition.
Management  strives  to manage the  pricing  of its  deposits  to  maintain  the
required  projected cash needs. In some instances though,  advances and lines of
credit provide lower incremental costs of funds than pricing deposits to attract
the new funds.

      The Bank invests its excess funds in overnight  deposits  with the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Topeka,  which  generally  provides  liquidity to meet lending
requirements and savings withdrawal funding requirements.  When warranted,  cash
in excess of immediate  funding needs is invested into  longer-term  investments
and mortgage-backed securities which typically earn a higher yield than

                                     Page 12

overnight  deposits,  some of which may also qualify as liquid investments under
current OTS  regulations.  At December 31, 1997 cash and cash  equivalents  were
$2,082,225  up from  $522,829 at March 31,  1997.  The  primary  reason for this
increase is due to investment  securities and mortgage backed  securities  being
called in. These excess funds are being used to fund new loan  originations  and
pay off maturing advances.

      The Bank is required to maintain  specified amounts of capital pursuant to
the  Financial  Institutions  Reform,  Recovery  and  Enforcement  Act  of  1989
("FIRREA") and regulations promulgated by OTS thereunder.  The capital standards
generally  require the  maintenance of regulatory  capital  sufficient to meet a
tangible  capital  requirement,  a core  capital  requirement,  and a risk-based
capital  requirement.  These standards  require  financial  institutions to have
minimum  regulatory  capital  equal to 1.5% of  tangible  assets;  minimum  core
capital equal to 3.0% of adjusted tangible assets;  and risk-based capital equal
to  8.0%  of  risk-based  assets.  At  December  31,  1997  the  Bank's  capital
requirements and actual capital under the OTS regulations are as follows:
