Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

General

The  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995  contains  safe  harbor
provisions regarding forward-looking  statements.  When used in this discussion,
the words believes, anticipates,  contemplates, expects, and similar expressions
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject
to certain risks and  uncertainties  which could cause actual  results to differ
materially from those projected.  Those risks and uncertainties  include changes
in  interest  rates,  risks  associated  with the  ability to control  costs and
expenses,  year 2000 issues and general  economic  conditions.  We  undertake no
obligation  to publicly  release the results of any  revisions to those  forward
looking  statements which may be made to reflect events or  circumstances  after
the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Overview

GFSB Bancorp,  Inc. (GFSB Bancorp) is a Company holding company headquartered in
Gallup,  New Mexico,  which  provides a full range of deposits  and  traditional
mortgage loan products  through its wholly owned Companying  subsidiary,  Gallup
Federal Savings Company (collectively, the Company).


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The total  assets of the  Company  increased  $5.1  million or 2.9% from  $176.8
million at June 30, 2000 to $181.9 million at September 30, 2000.  This increase
was primarily the result of a $5.3 million dollar  increase in the company's net
loan portfolio.  Of this increase,  approximately $2.3 million was in commercial
loans, $1.4 million in consumer  residential loans, and $1 million in commercial
real estate  non-residential  loans.  The increase was the result of the Company
hiring a new senior lending officer in May 2000.  During the same period,  total
liabilities  increased $4.5 million or 2.7% from $164.1 million at June 30, 2000
to $168.6  million at September 30, 2000.  This increase was primarily due to an
increase in  borrowings  from the Federal  Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of $1.8 million
and an increase in  repurchase  agreements  of $2.2  million.  FHLB advances and
repurchase agreements funded purchases of loans,  securities,  and mortgage loan
participations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the three months ended  September  30, 2000  increased  $4,000 to
$349,000  compared  to net income of  $345,000  for the  comparable  three-month
period in 1999.  The slight  increase in net income was the result of higher net
interest  earnings income and  non-interest  earnings offset by increases to the
provision for loan losses and non-interest  expense. See Average Balance Sheets
and Rate/Volume Analysis for the details of the Company's results of operations
for the current and prior three-month periods.

Average Balance Sheets

The  following  table sets forth certain  information  relating to the Company's
average  balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost
of liabilities for the periods indicated and the average yields earned and rates
paid. Average balances are derived from month-end balances.  Management does not
believe that the use of month-end balances instead of daily average balances has
caused any material differences in the information presented.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The table below sets forth  certain  information  regarding  changes in interest
income and interest expense of the Company for the periods  indicated.  For each
category   of   interest-earning   assets  and   interest-bearing   liabilities,
information is provided on changes  attributable to (i) changes in volume;  (ii)

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company  maintains  an  allowance  for loan losses  based upon  management's
periodic evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, past loss
experience,  adverse  situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay
loans,  estimated  value of the  underlying  collateral and current and expected
market conditions.  The provision for loan loss was $ 70,000 and $20,000 for the
quarter  ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The increase in the
provision for loan losses for the current  three-month  period was the result of
the growth in commercial  and commercial  real estate loans,  which tend to have
greater  credit  risk than  residential  real  estate  loans.  While the Company
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  and that such losses will not exceed the estimated  amounts.  Recent
substantial  increases  in the loan  portfolio  of the  Company may result in an
increase of provision for losses on loans.

Non-Interest Income

Total  non-interest  income  increased  by $24,000 or 32.8% from $73,000 for the
quarter ended  September 30, 1999 to $97,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
2000.  This  increase was primarily  due to increased  service  charge income of
approximately  $11,500.  Net gains from sales of loans  increased  approximately
$7,300 and miscellaneous income increased approximately $7,600, due primarily to
commission fees collected from credit card merchant sales.

Non-Interest Expense

Total  non-interest  expense  increased  $15,000 or 2.2% from  $674,000  for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $689,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
2000.  Occupancy  costs was the most  significant  factor,  due to  increases in
Automated Teller Machine maintenance expense, utilities, and property taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company is  required  under  applicable  federal  regulations  to  maintain
"liquid" investments in qualifying types of U.S. Government,  federal agency and
other  investments  of not less  than 4% of its  average  daily  balance  of net
withdrawable  deposit  accounts and  borrowings  payable in one year of less. At
September  30,  2000,  the  Company's  liquidity,  as  measured  for  regulatory
purposes, was 5.51%.

At  September  30,  2000,  the  Company  exceeded  each of the three OTS capital
requirements on a fully-phased-in basis.
