2.        BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial statements of the
          Company have been prepared in  accordance  with  instructions  to Form
          10-Q.  Accordingly,  they do not  include all of the  information  and
          footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
          complete financial statements.  However, such information reflects all
          adjustments  (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which
          are, in the opinion of management,  necessary for a fair  presentation
          of results for the interim periods.

          The results of  operations  for the three months ended  September  30,
          2000 are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for
          the year ending June 30, 2001.  The unaudited  consolidated  financial
          statements and notes thereto  should be read in  conjunction  with the
          audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June
          30, 2000.

          In February 1999, the Company formed HWM. HWM is a strategic  alliance
          between  the Bank (51%  owner)  and Los  Padres  Bank (49%  owner),  a
          federally  chartered savings bank located in California.  HWM provides
          trust  and  investment   management   services  for   individuals  and
          institutions.  The accompanying  unaudited consolidated balance sheets
          include  100  percent  of the assets  and  liabilities  of HWM and the
          ownership of Los Padres Bank is recorded as "Minority  interest."  The
          results of  operations  for the three months ended  September 30, 2000
          and 1999  include 100 percent of the revenues and expenses of HWM, and
          the  ownership of Los Padres Bank is recorded as  "Minority  interest"
          net of taxes.

          Reclassifications   of  certain   amounts  in  the  fiscal  year  2000
          consolidated  financial  statements  have been made to  conform to the
          fiscal year 2001 presentation.

3.        COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

          The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Comprehensive Income, effective July
          1, 1998.  It requires  that  changes in the amounts of certain  items,
          including  gains and  losses on  certain  securities,  be shown in the
          financial statements.  SFAS No. 130 does not require a specific format
          for the financial statement in which comprehensive income is reported,
          but does  require  that an  amount  representing  total  comprehensive
          income  be  reported  in that  statement.  All  prior  year  financial
          statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

          The following is a summary of the Company's total comprehensive income
          (loss) for the interim  three-month  periods ended  September 30, 2000
          and 1999 under SFAS No. 130:

4.        RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

          The Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
          133  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities"
          (SFAS  133),  on July 1,  2000.  In  accordance  with  the  transition
          provisions of SFAS 133, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect  type
          adjustment of $829,000  loss in earnings to recognize  the  difference
          (attributable to the hedged risks) between the carrying values and the
          fair values of related  hedged assets and  liabilities.  Additionally,
          the  Company  recorded a  cumulative-effect  type  adjustment  of $3.8
          million,  net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive  income (OCI)
          to recognize the fair value of all derivatives  that are designated as
          cash-flow hedges.

          The Company,  upon its adoption of SFAS 133, reclassified $3.8 million
          of   held-to-maturity   debt  securities  to  the   available-for-sale
          classification.  Such  reclassifications  were made so that those debt
          securities  would be eligible to be  designated as hedged items in the
          future as either fair-value or cash-flow hedges. This reclassification
          resulted in a  cumulative-effect  type  adjustment of $11,000,  net of
          tax,

                                       5
<PAGE>

          loss in OCI. Under the provisions of SFAS 133, such a reclassification
          does not call into  question the  Company's  intent to hold current or
          future debt securities to their maturity.

          The Company,  using  proceeds  from the sale of $40.0  million of GNMA
          adjustable  rate mortgage  securities,  extinguished  $40.5 million of
          securities  sold under  agreements to repurchase  and $11.8 million of
          certificates  of  deposit.  As  a  result  of  the  extinguishment  of
          short-term  liabilities,   the  hedged  transactions  were  deemed  by
          management to no longer be probable of occurring.  In accordance  with
          SFAS 133, the Company reclassified $1.5 million from OCI to earnings.

          Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities

          The Company utilizes  derivative  financial  instruments as part of an
          overall interest rate risk management strategy.

          The Company is exposed to interest  rate risk relating to the variable
          cash flows of certain deposit  liabilities  attributable to changes in
          market interest  rates. As part of its overall  strategy to manage the
          level of exposure to the risk of interest  rates  adversely  affecting
          net interest  income the Company uses  interest  rate swap  agreements
          that  have   offsetting   characteristics   from  the  hedged  deposit
          liabilities. These derivatives are designated and qualify as cash flow
          hedges.

          On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract,  management
          designates  the  derivative  as a hedge of the  identified  cash  flow
          exposure or as a "no hedging"  derivative.  If a  derivative  does not
          qualify in a hedging relationship,  the derivative is recorded at fair
          value  and  changes  in its  fair  value  are  reported  currently  in
          earnings.

          The Company  formally  documents  all  relationships  between  hedging
          instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective
          and strategy  for  undertaking  various  hedge  transactions.  In this
          documentation,   the  Company   specifically   identifies  the  asset,
          liability,  firm commitment,  or forecasted  transaction that has been
          designated  as a hedged item and states how the hedging  instrument is
          expected to hedge the risks  related to the hedged  item.  The Company
          formally measures  effectiveness of its hedging  relationships both at
          the hedge  inception and on an ongoing  basis in  accordance  with its
          risk management policy.

          The Company will discontinue  hedge accounting  prospectively if it is
          determined  that the  derivative is no longer  effective in offsetting
          changes  in the fair value or cash  flows of a hedged  item;  when the
          derivative  expires or is sold,  terminated,  or  exercised;  when the
          derivative  is  dedesignated  as a  hedge  instrument,  because  it is
          probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur; or management
          determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is
          no longer appropriate.

                                       6
<PAGE>

          When hedge  accounting is  discontinued  because it is probable that a
          forecasted transaction will not occur, the derivative will continue to
          be  carried  on the  balance  sheet at its fair  value,  and gains and
          losses that were accumulated in OCI will be recognized  immediately in
          earnings.   When  the  hedged  forecasted  transaction  is  no  longer
          probable,  but is reasonably  possible,  the accumulated  gain or loss
          remains in OCI and will be  recognized  when the  transaction  affects
          earnings;  however,  prospective hedge accounting for this transaction
          is terminated.  In all other  situations in which hedge  accounting is
          discontinued,  the derivative will be carried at its fair value on the
          balance  sheet,   with  changes  in  its  fair  value   recognized  in
          current-period earnings.

          The Company  designates  certain  derivatives as cash flow hedges. For
          all qualifying and highly  effective cash flow hedges,  the changes in
          the fair value of the derivative are recorded in OCI.

5.        BRANCH SALE

          On September 8, 2000,  the Company sold deposits and certain assets of
          two branch  banking  locations.  The  Company  sold  $43.5  million of
          deposits,  $0.4 million of office  properties  and  equipment and paid
          approximately  $41.7  million.  The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of
          approximately $1.4 million.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition

At September 30, 2000, the Company's total assets amounted to $423.4 million, as
compared to $435.2  million at June 30, 2000. The $11.8 million or 2.7% decrease
in total assets  during the three months ended  September 30, 2000 was primarily
the result of a $26.3  million  decrease  in  securities  held for trading and a
$13.5 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents  which were partially offset
with a $16.8  million  increase in  securities  available  for sale and an $18.4
million  increase in net loans  receivable.  The decrease in securities held for
trading  is a result  of the  Company's  reduction  in the  overall  size of its
investment  portfolio  to allow  for  growth  of loans  and to  reduce  earnings
volatility from mark to market accounting. This decrease was partially offset by
the increase in the  securities  available  for sale.  The increase in net loans
receivable  primarily  reflected the Company's  increase in the  origination  of
business loans through its commercial division. The Company sold deposits of two
branch  banking  locations  totaling  $43.5  million on September 8, 2000.  This
decrease was partially  offset by a $30.0 million  increase in Federal Home Loan
Bank advances.

Minority  interest  decreased  by  $25,000  from June 30,  2000 to  $820,000  at
September  30,  2000.  The  financial  statements  as of and for the three month
periods  ended   September  30,  2000  and  1999  include  all  of  the  assets,
liabilities, and results of operations for HWM. The minority interest represents
the portion of the assets,  liabilities,  and results of operations attributable
to the ownership interest of Los Padres Bank.

At September 30, 2000,  the  Company's  stockholders'  equity  amounted to $19.4
million,  as compared to $16.3 million at June 30, 2000.  The 19.0%  increase in
stockholders'  equity was  primarily  due to net income of  $936,000  recognized
during the three-month period and the cumulative-effect  type adjustment of $3.8
million,  net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income to recognize the
fair value of all  derivatives  that are  designated as cash flow hedges.  These
increases were partially offset by cash dividends paid of $95,000.  At September
30, 2000,  the Bank's Tier 1 core capital  amounted to $29.7  million or 7.1% of
adjusted  total assets,  which  exceeded the minimum 4.0%  requirement  by $12.9
million.  Additionally,  as of such date, the Bank's risk-based  capital totaled
$31.3 million or 11.8% of total risk-adjusted assets, which exceeded the minimum
8.0% requirement by $10.0 million.

Results of Operations

General.  The Company  reported income of $936,000 or $0.30 per share during the
three months ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to losses of $1.5 million or
$(0.48) per share during the prior comparable  period. The $2.4 million increase
in earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the
same period in the prior year,  was primarily due to a $3.6 million  increase in
realized and unrealized net gains on securities held for trading, a $1.4 million
gain on the sale of deposits and certain assets of two branch banking locations,
a $304,000  decrease  in  operating  expenses,  and a $217,000  increase  in net
interest income after provision for loan losses.  These increases were partially
offset by an increase in the Company's  income tax provision of $2.1 million and
an $829,000 loss, net of tax, to recognize the difference  (attributable  to the
hedged risks) between the carrying  values and the fair values of related hedged
assets and liabilities.

Selected  Financial  Ratios.  The following  schedule shows  selected  financial
ratios for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

  (1)  Interest  rate  spread is the  difference  between  interest  income as a
       percentage  of   interest-earning   assets  and  interest  expense  as  a
       percentage of interest-bearing liabilities.

  (2)  Net  interest   margin  is  net  interest   income   divided  by  average
       interest-earning assets.

  (3)  The  efficiency  ratio is total other  expense as a percentage of the net
       interest  income  after  provision  for loan  losses  plus other  income,
       excluding gains and losses on securities held for trading.

Interest Income.  Interest income increased by $186,000 or 2.3% during the three
months ended  September  30,  2000,  as compared to the same period in the prior
year. This increase was primarily due to a $909,000  increase in interest income
from the Company's  loan  portfolio,  which was  partially  offset by a $716,000
decrease  in interest  income from the  investment  portfolio.  The  decrease in
interest income from the Company's  investment portfolio was a result of a $60.1
million  decrease in the level of the  average  investment  portfolio  which was
partially offset by a 103 basis point increase in the interest yield earned. The
Company  substantially  reduced the investment portfolio to allow for the growth
of loans and to reduce earnings volatility from mark-to-market  accounting.  The
increase in interest  income on the loan  portfolio  was a direct  result of the
$21.0 million increase in the level of the average loan portfolio in addition to
an 82 basis point increase in the interest yield earned. The net increase in the
average  balance and interest  yield earned on the Company's  loan  portfolio is
primarily due to the origination of commercial loans.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased by $99,000 during the three months
ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This
decrease was primarily  due to a $44.9 million  decrease in the level of average
interest-bearing  liabilities  which was  partially  offset by a 50 basis  point
increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.

Net Interest  Income.  Net interest income increased by $285,000 or 14.4% during
the three months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the same period in the
prior year. The net interest  margin,  defined as net interest income divided by
average  interest-earning  assets, for the three months ended September 30, 2000
was 2.08%, as compared to 1.63% for the three months ended September 30, 1999.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the
Company  increased the general allowance for loan losses by $185,000 in response
to the  continued  commercial  loan growth.  Delinquencies  and loan  write-offs
continue to be minimal, and the non-performing  assets remain stable. During the
three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  the Company  increased  the general
allowance for loan losses by $117,000 in response to loan growth.

Other Income (Loss).  Total other income (loss)  amounted to $3.0 million during
the three months ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to $(1.9) million during
the  respective  period in the  prior  year.  Other  income  (loss)  principally
represents  the net  market  value  gain or loss  (realized  or  unrealized)  on
securities  held  for  trading,  offset  by the net  market  value  gain or loss
(realized  or  unrealized)  on interest  rate  contracts  used for hedging  such
securities.  Management's  goal is to  attempt  to offset any change in the fair
value of its  securities  portfolio  with the  change  in the fair  value of the
interest  rate  risk  management   contracts  and   mortgage-backed   derivative
securities  utilized  by the Company to hedge its  interest  rate  exposure.  In


                                       9
<PAGE>

addition,  management  attempts to produce a positive hedged excess return (i.e.
total return,  which includes  interest  income plus realized and unrealized net
gains/losses  on  investments  minus the one month  LIBOR  funding  cost for the
period) on the investment portfolio using option-adjusted pricing analysis.

During the three months ended  September 30, 2000, the Company  recognized  $1.1
million of realized gains on the sale of securities  held for trading,  $296,000
of realized losses on futures  instruments  and $750,000 of unrealized  gains on
securities  and hedges held for trading.  The Company also  recognized a gain of
$1.4  million  resulting  from the sale of deposits  and  certain  assets of two
branch banking locations on September 8, 2000.

During the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  the  Company  recognized
$814,000 of realized losses on the sale of securities held for trading, $236,000
of realized losses on futures instruments,  and $992,000 of unrealized losses on
securities and hedges held for trading.

Other  Expense.  Total other expense  amounted to $2.2 million  during the three
months  ended  September  30,  2000,  as  compared  to $2.5  million  during the
respective period in the prior year. The decrease in total other expense was due
to decreases in salaries, premises and equipment expense, marketing expense, and
other  operating  expenses,  which were  primarily  the result of the  Company's
efforts to streamline the senior management  organization and increase operating
efficiency in the March 2000 quarter. As a result of this realignment, the Chief
Operating  Officer  position,  two mortgage  loan  operations  positions,  and a
marketing staff position were eliminated.  These changes, along with the sale of
the two  southern  Indiana  branches,  contributed  to the decrease in operating
expenses.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit).  The Company recorded an income tax provision of
$1.1 million during the three months ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to a
benefit of $1.0  million  during the  respective  period in the prior year.  The
Company's  effective  tax rate  amounted  to 39.0%  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank is required under applicable federal  regulations to maintain specified
levels of "liquid"  investments  as defined by the Office of Thrift  Supervision
("OTS").  As of November 24, 1997, the required level of such liquid investments
was  changed  from 5% to 4% of certain  liabilities  as  defined by the OTS.  In
addition to the change in the percentage of required level of liquid assets, the
OTS also modified its definition of investments that are considered liquid. As a
result of this change,  the level of assets  eligible for  regulatory  liquidity
calculations increased considerably.

The total eligible  regulatory  liquidity of the Bank was 20.0% at September 30,
2000, as compared to 24.4% at June 30, 2000.  At September 30, 2000,  the Bank's
average  "liquid" assets totaled  approximately  $79.4 million,  which was $63.5
million in excess of the current OTS minimum requirement.

At September 30, 2000, the Company's total approved  originated loan commitments
outstanding   amounted  to  $12.0  million,  and  the  unused  lines  of  credit
outstanding  totaled $22.6 million.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature
in one year or less at September 30, 2000 totaled  $148.0  million.  The Company
believes  that it has adequate  resources to fund  ongoing  commitments  such as
investment  security and loan purchases as well as deposit  account  withdrawals
and loan commitments.

of financial  services,  the impact of  government  legislation  and  regulation
(which changes from time to time and over which the Company has no control), and
other risks detailed in this Form 10-Q and in the Company's other Securities and
Exchange  Commission  (SEC)  filings.  Readers are  cautioned not to place undue
reliance  on  these  forward-looking  statements,   which  reflect  management's

Segment Information

The Company's principal business lines include community banking in the Indiana,
Kansas and North Carolina  markets,  investment  activities  including  treasury
management,  HWM  (see  Notes  1 and  2)  and  other  activities  including  the
unconsolidated  holding company functions.  For the three months ended September
30, 1999, the other category also includes start-up costs for the North Carolina
bank,  which opened in July of 1999. The community  banking  segment  provides a
full range of deposit  products as well as  mortgage,  consumer  and  commercial
loans in its  designated  markets.  The  investment  segment is comprised of the
Company's held for trading,  available for sale and held to maturity securities,
as well as the treasury  management  function.  A standard  investment return is
allocated to each of the Community Banking segments based on whether the segment
is a funds provider  (excess  deposits  relative to loans) or user (excess loans
relative  to  deposits).  If the  segment  generates  excess  funds,  then it is
assigned an investment  return on those excess funds of one month LIBOR.  If the
banking  segment is a funds user,  those funds are provided from the Investments
segment at one month LIBOR.  The overall  profitability  of the  Investment  and
Community  Banking  segments  is  therefore  affected  by  this  funds  transfer
methodology. The financial information for each operating segment is reported on
the basis used  internally by the Company's  management to evaluate  performance
and allocate resources.

The  measurement of the  performance  of the operating  segments is based on the
management  and  corporate  structure  of the  Company  and  is not  necessarily
comparable with similar  information for any other  financial  institution.  The
information presented is also not necessarily  indicative of the segments' asset
size and results of operations if they were independent entities.

                    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
                                ABOUT MARKET RISK

             The OTS requires each thrift institution to calculate the estimated
change in the institution's  market value of portfolio equity (MVPE) assuming an
instantaneous,  parallel  shift in the Treasury  yield curve of 100 to 300 basis
points either up or down in 100 basis point  increments.  MVPE is defined as the
net present value (NPV) of an  institution's  existing  assets,  liabilities and
off-balance sheet instruments. A post shock MVPE to market value of assets (NPV)
ratio can then be calculated in each  interest  rate  scenario.  The OTS permits
institutions  to perform this MVPE analysis using their own internal model based
upon  reasonable  assumptions.  The Company has  contracted  with Smith  Breeden
Associates, Inc. for the provision of consulting services regarding, among other
things,  the management of its investments and borrowings,  the pricing of loans
and deposits,  the use of various financial  instruments to reduce interest rate
risk, and assistance in performing the required  calculation of the  sensitivity
of its market value to changes in interest rates. In estimating the market value
of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed  securities,  the Company utilizes various
prepayment  assumptions  that vary, in accordance  with  historical  experience,
based  upon the  term,  interest  rate and other  factors  with  respect  to the
underlying loans.

               The  following  table  sets  forth at  September  30,  2000,  the
estimated  sensitivity of the Bank's MVPE and NPV ratios to parallel yield curve
shifts  using the  Company's  internal  market  value  calculation.  The Company
actively  manages the  interest  rate risk of the balance  sheet and  investment
portfolio  by  dynamically  rebalancing  the  hedges on a frequent  basis.  This
rebalancing  is  undertaken  to further  reduce the interest rate risk for large
rate changes.  Since the following analysis is based on instantaneous changes in
rates,  the benefits of the dynamic  rebalancing  process on interest  rate risk
reduction are, therefore, not reflected in this analysis.

             The table set forth  below  does not  purport to show the impact of
interest  rate  changes  on  the  Company's  equity  under  generally   accepted
accounting  principles.  Market value changes only impact the  Company's  income
statement or the balance  sheet (1) to the extent the affected  instruments  are
marked  to  market  and (2) over the life of the  instruments  as an  impact  on
recorded yields.

             Since a  portion  of the  Company's  assets is  recorded  at market
value,  the  following  table is  included to show the  estimated  impact on the
Company's equity of instantaneous, parallel shifts in the yield curve, using the
methodology  described above. The assets and interest rate contracts included in
the table  below are only those  which are either  classified  by the Company as
held for trading or available for sale and, therefore,  reflected at fair value.
Consequently,  the Company's  liabilities,  which are reflected at cost, are not
included  in the table  below.  All  amounts  are  shown  net of taxes,  with an
estimated effective tax rate of 39.0%.
