(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Jefferson Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company" or "Jefferson
Bancshares") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jefferson Federal Bank
(the "Bank" or "Jefferson Federal"). The unaudited financial statements
of Jefferson Bancshares, Inc. were prepared with generally accepted
accounting principles and with instructions for Form 10-Q and,
therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete
presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal and
recurring in nature, necessary for fair presentation of the interim
financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended
September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results which
may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
2004.
(2) CORPORATE REORGANIZATION AND STOCK OFFERING
-------------------------------------------
On March 4, 2003, the Boards of Directors of Jefferson Bancshares, MHC
(the "MHC") and the Bank adopted a Plan of Conversion to convert the
MHC from mutual to stock form and to complete a related stock offering
in which shares of common stock representing the MHC's ownership
interest in the Bank would be sold to investors (the "Conversion").
The Plan of Conversion was approved by the stockholders and depositors
of the Bank on June 25, 2003. The reorganization and stock offering
were completed on July 1, 2003. As of that date, the Company sold
6,612,500 shares of common stock for $10.00 per share. After taking
into consideration estimated related expenses of approximately $1.6
million, net proceeds from the stock offering amounted to approximately
$64.5 million. An additional 1,388,485 shares were issued to existing
stockholders, based on an exchange rate of 4.2661 shares of Company
common stock for each existing share of Bank common stock, and 375,000
shares were issued to the Jefferson Federal Charitable Foundation,
resulting in the total issuance of 8,375,985 shares. Cash was paid in
lieu of fractional shares.
Upon completion of the Conversion and stock offering, the MHC ceased to
exist and its net assets of $111,000 were transferred to the Bank.
The Conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with no
subsequent change in the historical basis of the Company's assets,
liabilities and equity.
(3) LIMITATION ON CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS
-----------------------------------
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose limitations upon all
capital distributions by a savings institution, including cash
dividends, payments to repurchase its shares and payments to
shareholders of another institution in a cash-out merger. Under the
regulations, an application to and the prior approval of the Office of
Thrift Supervision is required prior to any capital distribution if the
institution does not meet the criteria for "expedited treatment" of
applications under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations ("i.e.",
generally, examination ratings in the two top categories), the total
capital distributions for the calendar year exceed net
7
income for that year plus the amount of retained net income for the
preceding two years, the institution would be undercapitalized
following the distribution or the distribution would otherwise be
contrary to a statute, regulation or agreement with or condition
imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision. If an application is not
required, the institution must still provide prior notice to the Office
of Thrift Supervision of the capital distribution if, like Jefferson
Federal, it is a subsidiary of a holding company. In addition, the
Office of Thrift Supervision could prohibit a proposed capital
distribution by any institution, which would otherwise be permitted by
the regulation, if the Office of Thrift Supervision determined that
such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. In
the event Jefferson Federal's capital falls below its regulatory
requirements or the Office of Thrift Supervision notifies it that it is
in need of more than normal supervision, Jefferson Federal's ability to
make capital distributions could be restricted. Jefferson Federal also
may not make a capital distribution if the distribution would reduce
its regulatory capital below the amount needed for the liquidation
account established in connection with the Conversion described in Note
2.
(4) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
-------------------------
Earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share have
been computed on the basis of dividing net earnings by the
weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The
following table illustrates the number of weighted-average shares of
common stock used in each corresponding earnings per common share
calculation:
Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding
For The Three Months Ended
September 30,
-------------------------------------
Shares used for: 2004 2003
---------------- -----------------
Basic Earnings Per Share 7,701,618 8,375,985
Diluted Earnings Per Share 7,717,483 8,424,818
(5) STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
------------------------
Dividends declared but not paid have been recorded in other
liabilities; however, their non-effect on cash and operations dictates
their exclusion from the cash flows until actually paid.
(6) ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN
------------------------------------------------
Impairment of loans having recorded investment of $331,000 at September
30, 2004 and an average investment of $331,000 during the three-month
period ended September 30, 2004 has been recognized in conformity with
FASB Statement No. 118. The total allowance for loan losses related to
these loans was $71,000 at September 30, 2004. Other nonaccrual loans
at September 30, 2004 were approximately $2.3 million. For the three
months ended September 30, 2004, gross income which would have been
recognized had impaired and nonaccrual loans been current in accordance
with their original terms, amounted to approximately $54,000. The
amount of interest income from impaired and non-accrual loans included
in the Company's interest income for the three months ended September
30, 2004 was approximately $15,000. The amount of interest income from
impaired loans included in net income for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 was approximately $2,000.

losses for the three months ended September 30, 2004:

(7) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
-------------------------------------------------
Jefferson Bancshares is a party to financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the
financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments generally
include commitments to originate mortgage loans. These instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk
in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company's
maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
borrower is represented by the contractual amount and related accrued
interest receivable of those instruments. The Company minimizes this
risk by evaluating each borrower's creditworthiness on a case-by-case
basis. Collateral held by the Company consists of a first or second
mortgage on the borrower's property. The amount of collateral obtained
is based upon an appraisal of the property.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

Unused standby letters of credit - (192) - (141)
Unused lines of credit - (7,926) - (6,735)
(8) RECAPTURE OF TAX BAD DEBT RESERVES
----------------------------------
Current federal income tax law provides for the elimination of the
preferential tax bad debt deduction for thrift institutions and the
recapture of tax bad debt reserves in excess of the base year reserves
(pre-1988 reserves). The excess tax bad debt reserves is required to be
recaptured to income ratably over a six-year period unless a thrift
institution meets the "residential loan requirement" test and suspends
the recapture for up to two years. For Jefferson Bancshares, this tax
accounting change was effective for the year ending June 30, 1997.
Because deferred taxes have been recorded for such excess tax bad debt
reserves, this legislation has not had a material effect on the
Company's statement of condition or results of operation; however, it
has resulted in an outflow of cash. The six-year recapture period began
with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. The total amount of excess
tax bad debt reserves recaptured during the six-year period amounted to
$622,000 and resulted in additional federal income taxes of $211,000.
(9) STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
---------------------
Under the Bank's 1995 Stock Option Plan and the 1995 Management
Recognition and Development Plan ("MRP"), the Company issued a combined
total of 179,176 shares to officers, employees and non-employee
directors. Both plans vested pro-rata over a five-year period, with the
Stock Option Plan having an expiration date of April 1, 2007. As of
September 30, 2004, there were 60,857 options outstanding and no
remaining shares available for grant under the 1995 Stock Option Plan.
No options were exercised during the three-month period.
10
On January 8, 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan
which authorized the granting of 698,750 options and 279,500 restricted
stock awards to employees and non-employee directors. As of September
30, 2004, there were 401,778 options and 160,711 restricted stock
awards granted under this plan which will vest pro-rata over a
five-year period. The 2004 plan has an expiration date of January 30,
2014.
The table below summarizes the status of the Company's stock option
plans as of September 30, 2004.

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

operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and
results of operations of Jefferson Bancshares. The information contained in this

accompanying notes. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended June 30, 2004.
GENERAL
- -------
Jefferson Bancshares, Inc. (also referred to as the "Company" or "Jefferson
Bancshares") was organized as a Tennessee corporation at the direction of
Jefferson Federal Bank, formerly known as Jefferson Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Morristown (referred to as the "Bank" or "Jefferson Federal"), in
March 2003 to become the holding company for Jefferson Federal upon the
11
completion of its "second-step" mutual-to-stock conversion (the "Conversion") of
Jefferson Bancshares, M.H.C. (the "MHC"). The Conversion was completed on July
1, 2003. As part of the Conversion, the MHC merged into Jefferson Federal
thereby ceasing to exist and Jefferson Federal Savings and Loan Association of
Morristown changed its name to "Jefferson Federal Bank." The Company sold
6,612,500 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share to
depositors of the Bank in a subscription offering raising approximately $64.5
million in net proceeds. The Company also exchanged approximately 1,389,000
shares of its common stock for all the outstanding shares of the Bank's common
stock (other than shares held by the MHC), representing an exchange ratio of
4.2661 for each share of Jefferson Federal outstanding. In addition, the Bank
established the Jefferson Federal Charitable Foundation, which was funded with
$250,000 and 375,000 shares of Company common stock.
The Company has no significant assets, other than all of the outstanding shares
of the Bank and the portion of the net proceeds it retained from the Conversion,
and no significant liabilities. Management of the Company and the Bank are
substantially similar and the Company neither owns nor leases any property, but
instead uses the premises, equipment and furniture of the Bank. Accordingly, the

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003
NET EARNINGS
- ------------
Net earnings increased $2.5 million to $952,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 compared to a net loss of $1.6 million for the comparable
period in 2003. The net loss for 2003 was the result of the nonrecurring expense
associated with the $4.0 million contribution to the Jefferson Federal
Charitable Foundation.

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Net interest income before loan loss provision decreased $20,000, or 0.7%, to
$2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same
period in 2003. The decline in net interest income is primarily attributable to
the current low interest rate environment and to changes in the volume and
composition of interest-earning assets. The net interest margin increased 11
basis points to 3.78% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The
interest rate spread was 3.17% and 2.94% for the quarters ended September 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in the interest rate spread reflects a
decrease in the cost on interest-bearing liabilities more than offsetting a
decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets. The average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities decreased 38 basis points to 2.09%, while the
average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 15 basis points to 5.26%.

============= =============== ===============
Total interest income decreased $254,000, or 6.1%, to $3.9 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in interest income for the
three-month period was the result of a decrease in the average yield of
interest-earning assets combined with a decrease in the average balance of
interest-earning assets. Interest on loans decreased as a result of declining
rates offsetting an increase in the average balance. The average yield on loans
declined 99 basis points to 6.28% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, as
we originated loans at lower interest rates due to the prevailing low interest
rate environment, and loans with variable rates repriced to lower rates.
Interest on investment securities decreased due to a decrease in the average
balance which more than offset an increase in the average yield. The average
balance of investments decreased due to the sale of investment securities during
the current three-month period. The average yield on investment securities
increased 63 basis points to 3.31% for the three-month period. Approximately 15%
of the investment portfolio is held in mortgage-backed securities ("MBSs"). A
significant portion of our mortgage-backed securities has adjustable rates and
has repriced downward in the current low interest rate environment. Dividends on
FHLB stock were $17,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and
$15,000 for the comparable 2003 period. FHLB dividends are paid with additional
shares of FHLB stock.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $296,000, or 22.7%, to $1.0 million for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2004. The average rate paid on
deposits declined 41 basis points to 2.03% for the three-month period in 2004 as
compared to 2003 due to the general decline in interest rates and also to the
change in the composition of deposits. The decline in the average balance of
certificates of deposit more than offset increases in transaction accounts for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2004. The decline in certificates of
deposit resulted from our decision not to compete aggressively for higher
costing deposits. Interest expense on FHLB advances increased due primarily to
an increase in the average balance which more than offset a decrease in the
average rate paid.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
- -------------------------
We review the level of the loan loss allowance on a monthly basis and establish
the provision for loan losses based on the level of subprime loans in the loan
portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, economic conditions and other
factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. We use
15
Beacon credit scores to predict the likelihood that an existing borrower will
become a credit risk. We consider loans to borrowers with a Beacon credit score
below 600 to be "subprime." Net charge-offs were $7,000 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2004 compared to $150,000 for the same period in
2003. There were no additions to the allowance for loan losses during either
period. Nonperforming loans increased $1.3 million to $2.3 million at September
30, 2004 due to a weakening condition with one commercial borrowing
relationship. This relationship is primarily comprised of commercial loans
totaling $936,000 and a personal real estate loan totaling $248,000. We believe
the collateral securing these loans is adequate.
NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------
Noninterest income increased $30,000, or 12.8%, to $264,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2004 due to a combination of factors, including an increase
in the cash surrender value of life insurance and an increase in dividends from
investments more than offsetting a decrease in gain on sale of investments.
The following table summarizes the dollar amounts for each category of
noninterest income, and the dollar and percent changes for the three months
ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------
Noninterest expense totaled $1.6 million for the three months ended September
30, 2004 as compared to $5.5 million for the comparable period in 2003.
Noninterest expense was higher for the three months ended September 30, 2003 due
to the $4.0 million contribution to the Jefferson Federal Charitable Foundation.
Compensation expense increased $183,000, or 24.2%, due to expenses related to
the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") and the Stock Incentive Plan.
Compensation expense is recognized for the ESOP in an amount equal to the fair
market value of shares committed to be released for allocation to participant
accounts. For the three-month period, compensation expense related to the ESOP
was $138,000 and expense related to the Stock Incentive Plan was $110,000.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was $508,000
compared to a tax benefit of $910,000 for the same period in 2003. The income
tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was due to the $4.0
million contribution of cash and common stock to the Jefferson Federal
Charitable Foundation. The contribution to the Foundation was tax deductible,
subject to a limitation based on 10% of the Company's annual taxable income. Any
unused portion of the deduction may be carried forward for five years following
the year in which the contribution is made.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
ASSETS
- ------
Total assets at September 30, 2004 were $308.4 million, an increase of $3.0
million, or 1.0%, from total assets of $305.5 million at June 30, 2004.
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INTEREST-EARNING DEPOSITS
- ----------------------------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents were $3.3 million at September 30, 2004 compared to
$3.8 million at June 30, 2004. Interest-earning deposits increased $10.7 million
to $13.3 million at September 30, 2004, which reflects our decision to increase
liquidity for future loan demand.
INVESTMENTS
- -----------
Our investment portfolio consists primarily of Federal agency securities with
maturities of seven years or less, municipal securities and mortgage-backed
securities with stated final maturities of thirty years or less. Investment
securities decreased $17.7 million, or 18.6%, to $77.3 million due primarily to
sales of investment securities during the current quarter. Proceeds from the
sale of investment securities were used to fund growth in the loan portfolio and
to repurchase treasury shares. Investment securities classified as
available-for-sale are carried at fair market value and reflect an unrealized
gain of $358,000, or $221,000 net of taxes.

LOANS
- -----
Net loans increased $11.7 million, or 6.3%, to $198.3 million at September 30,
2004. Our primary lending activity is the origination of loans secured by real
estate. We originate real estate loans secured by one- to four-family homes,
commercial real estate, multi-family real estate and land. We also originate
construction loans and home equity loans. Mortgage loans totaled $175.1
18
million, or 87.1%, of gross loans at September 30, 2004 compared to $170.9
million, or 90.2%, of gross loans at June 30, 2004. The $4.2 million, or 2.5%,
increase in real estate loans was primarily attributable to increases in land
loans and one-to four-family loans.
Commercial business loans increased $7.9 million, or 62.6%, to $20.5 million at
September 30, 2004. We intend to continue to emphasize this type of lending.
Most of the commercial business loans that we have originated have been tied to
prime and will reprice quickly as interest rates change.
We originate a variety of consumer loans, including loans secured by
automobiles, mobile homes and deposit accounts at Jefferson Federal. Consumer
loans decreased $424,000, or 7.2%, to $5.4 million at September 30, 2004 due to
lower demand for these types of loans.

LOAN LOSS ALLOWANCE
- -------------------
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish reserves
against losses on loans on a monthly basis. When additional reserves are
necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings. In connection
with assessing the allowance, we consider the level of subprime loans held in
the portfolio and delinquency levels and loss experience with respect to
subprime and prime loans. In addition, we
20
assess the allowance using factors that cannot be associated with specific
credit or loan categories. These factors include our subjective evaluation of
local and national economic and business conditions, portfolio concentration and
changes in the character and size of the loan portfolio. The allowance
methodology appropriately reflects a margin for the imprecision necessarily
inherent in estimates of expected credit losses.
The Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination
process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. The Office of
Thrift Supervision may require us to make additional provisions for loan losses
based on judgments different from ours.
Due to net charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses decreased $7,000 to $2.5
million at September 30, 2004. There were no additions to the allowance for loan
losses during the current three-month period. At September 30, 2004, our
allowance for loan losses represented 1.23% of total gross loans and 105.8% of
nonperforming loans, compared to 1.31% of total gross loans and 228.9% of
nonperforming loans at June 30, 2004.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS
- --------------------
We consider repossessed assets and nonaccrual loans to be nonperforming. Loans
are reviewed on a monthly basis and are generally placed on nonaccrual status
when the loan becomes more than 90 days delinquent. Nonperforming assets
increased $1.2 million to $2.8 million at September 30, 2004 due to an increase
in nonaccrual loans. The increase in nonaccrual loans has resulted from a
weakening condition with one borrowing relationship. This relationship is
primarily comprised of commercial loans totaling $936,000 and a personal real
estate loan totaling $248,000. We believe the collateral securing these loans is
adequate. Foreclosed real estate decreased $49,000, or 8.9%, to $503,000 at
September 30, 2004. Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at the lower of
the amount of the loan or the fair value, less estimated selling costs. Any
writedown to fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any
subsequent writedown of foreclosed real estate is charged against earnings.

BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE
- -------------------------
We purchased bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") to help offset the cost of
employee benefit plans. BOLI provides earnings from accumulated cash value
growth and provides tax advantages inherent in a life insurance contract. The
cash surrender value at September 30, 2004 was $5.1 million.
DEPOSITS

Total deposits decreased $698,000 to $204.2 million at September 30, 2004. The

FHLB advances were utilized during the quarter as a funding source for growth in
the loan portfolio.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
- --------------------
Stockholders' equity decreased $2.5 million, or 2.7%, to $90.9 million at
September 30, 2004. Retained earnings increased $548,000 to $32.9 million at
September 30, 2004 due to net earnings of $952,000 partially offset by the
payment of dividends to shareholders. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes,
in the available-for-sale investment portfolio are reflected as an adjustment to
stockholders' equity. At September 30, 2004, the adjustment to
22
stockholders' equity was an unrealized gain of $221,000 compared to a net
unrealized loss of $793,000 at June 30, 2004. During the September 2004 quarter,
a Stock Repurchase Program was announced under which up to 838,552, or 10%, of
the Company's outstanding common stock may be repurchased. During the current
three-month period, 313,176 shares of treasury stock were purchased at a cost of
$4.1 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a
short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan
repayments, maturities and sales of investment securities and borrowings from
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit
flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.
We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based on our assessment of
expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on
interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our
asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally
in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term U.S Government
agency obligations.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-earning
assets. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing,
lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2004,
cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.3 million and interest-earning deposits
totaled $13.3 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which
provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $77.3 million at September 30,
2004. In addition, at September 30, 2004, we had arranged the ability to borrow
a total of approximately $67.6 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Cincinnati. On that date, we had advances outstanding of $12.0 million.
At September 30, 2004, we had approximately $4.1 million in loan commitments,
consisting of $1.7 million in commitments to originate residential loans and
$2.4 million to originate commercial loans. In addition to commitments to
originate loans, we had $11.0 million in loans-in-process, $192,000 in unused
standby letters of credit and approximately $7.9 million in unused lines of
credit. We had $102.9 million in certificates of deposit due within one year and
$67.6 million in other deposits without specific maturities at September 30,
2004. We believe, based on past experience, that a significant portion of those
deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits
by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase
of investment securities. During the three-month period ended September 30,
2004, loan originations, net of principal collections were $12.5 million offset
by the redemption, prepayment and sale of securities in the amount of $19.3
million. During the period, financing activities consist primarily of activity
in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. We experienced a net
decrease in total deposits of $698,000 during the three-month period ended
September 30, 2004. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest
rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors.
Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products in order to
attract deposits. In the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, Federal
Home Loan Bank advances increased $6.0 million to $12.0 million.

At September 30, 2004, the average liquidity ratio was 33.58% compared to 45.04%
at September 30, 2003. The capital from the Conversion has significantly
increased our liquidity and capital resources. Over time, we expect the initial
level of liquidity after the Conversion will be reduced as net proceeds from the
stock offering are used for future lending and operational growth and expansion
activities.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial
transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Such
transactions are used primarily to manage customers' requests for funding and
take the form of loan commitments, unused lines of credit, amounts due
mortgagors on construction loans, amounts due on commercial loans and commercial
letters of credit.
For the three months ended September 30, 2004, we engaged in no
off-balance-sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on
our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of the Company's asset and liability management policies, as
well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of
the Company's portfolio equity, see Item 7A in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004. Management, as part of its regular
practices, performs periodic reviews of the impact of interest rate changes upon
net interest income and the market value of the Company's portfolio equity.
Based on, among other factors, such reviews, management believes that there are
no material changes in the market risk of the Company's asset and liability
position since June 30, 2004. As a result of the funds raised in the Company's
stock offering and management's strategy of investing the funds from the
offering and excess funds from operations in short-term investments with minimal
extension risk, the Company is now more asset sensitive and is likely to
experience an increase in net interest income in a rising interest rate
environment.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company's management, including the Company's principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the
Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
(the "Exchange Act"). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive
officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the
period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be
disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange
Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") (1) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
addition, based on that evaluation, no change in the Company's internal control
over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2004
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.
