the Bank. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not

consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. However, all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements have been included. The results of operations for the period
ended December 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results
which may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period.

NOTE 3 - INCOME PER SHARE

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 "believe", "anticipates", "contemplates", "expects", and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include
changes in interest rates, risk associated with the effect of opening new
branches, the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic
conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results
of any revisions to those forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrences of
unanticipated events.

The Company's consolidated results of operations are primarily dependent on the
Bank's net interest income, or the difference between the interest incomes
earned on its loan, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities
portfolios, and the interest expense paid on its savings deposits and other
borrowings. Net interest income is affected not only by the difference between
the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the costs incurred on
interest-bearing liabilities, but also by the relative amounts of such
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Other components of net income include: provisions for losses on loans and other
assets; non-interest income (primarily, service charges on deposit accounts and
other fees, net rental income, and gains and losses on investment activities);
non-interest expenses (primarily, compensation and employee benefits, federal
insurance premiums, office occupancy expense, marketing expense and expenses
associated with foreclosed real estate) and income taxes.

Earnings of the Company also are significantly affected by economic and
competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government
policies and regulations of regulatory authorities.

References to the "Bank" herein, unless the context requires otherwise, refer to
the Company on a consolidated basis.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003 totaled
$565.8 million and $536.9 million, respectively, an increase of $28.9 million or
5.4%.

Securities available-for-sale totaled $111.9 million and securities held to
maturity totaled $27.6 million at December 31, 2003, which combined represents
an increase of $9.9 million or 7.6% as compared to September 30, 2003. The
Company purchased United States government and agency mortgage-backed securities
with cash available from loan and investment repayments and funds from FHLB
advances.

Loans receivable totaled $374.0 million at December 31, 2003 which represented a
$16.8 million or a 4.7% increase compared to September 30, 2003. The increase in
loans receivable was due primarily to

6



origination of commercial mortgage loans and, additionally, to the purchase of
$8.3 million of performing consumer loans secured by automobiles and a guarantee
by the underwriting federal savings bank.

Total deposits, after interest credited, at December 31, 2003 were $351.3
million which represents an increase of $2.0 million or 0.6% as compared to
September 30, 2003.

Advances increased $27.5 million or 21.8% as compared to the amount at September
30, 2003. The increase was due primarily to fund new loans and to purchase loans
and investments during the quarter.

Stockholders' equity was $57.0 million at December 31, 2003 and September 30,
2003. Earnings for the quarter were offset by dividends and stock repurchases.

COMPARISON OF EARNINGS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND
2002

NET INCOME. The Company had net income of $1,635,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2003, as compared to net income of $1,613,000 for the three month
period ended December 31, 2002 Earnings for the three months ended December 31,
2003 represent an increase of 1.4% compared to 2002.

TOTAL INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income decreased by $503,000 or 6.5% to
$7.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003, from $7.8 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2002, as a $18.9 million increase in average
earning assets was offset by a decrease in average yields to 5.77% in 2003 from
6.46% in 2002. Interest income on loans decreased $616,000 to $6.1 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2003 from $6.7 million for the same period
ended December 31, 2002. The average yield on loans decreased to 6.63% for the
three months ended December 31, 2003 from 7.69% for the same period in 2002, and
the average yield on investment and mortgage-backed securities decreased to
3.54% for the three months ended December 31, 2003 from 3.70% for the same
quarter in 2002.

TOTAL INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense decreased $525,000 or 14.2%, to
$3.2 million for the 2003 period from $3.7 million for the December 2002 period,
due to a decrease in average rates paid from 3.46% in 2002 to 2.83% in 2003.

NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income increased $22,000 for the three month
period ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same period ended December 31,
2002 due primarily to a decrease in the average interest rate spread from 3.00%
in 2002 to 2.95% in 2003.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses was $15,000 and $30,000
for the three month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Management periodically estimates the likely level of losses to determine
whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in
the existing portfolio. Based on these estimates, an amount is charged or
credited to the provision for loan losses and credited or charged to the
allowance for loan losses in order to adjust the allowance to a level determined
to be adequate to absorb probable losses.

Management's judgment as to the level of losses on existing loans involves the
consideration of current economic conditions and their potential effects on
specific borrowers, an evaluation of the existing relationships among loans,
known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio and the present level of the

7


allowance, results of examination of the loan portfolio by regulatory agencies
and management's internal review of the loan portfolio. In determining the
collectibility of certain loans, management also considers the fair value of any
underlying collateral.

NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income increased by $243,000 from $2.3
million in the three month period ended December 31, 2002 to $2.5 million in the
three month period ended December 31, 2003. This increase is due primarily to
the increase in service fee income associated with increased demand account
volume.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Total non-interest expense increased $338,000 due
primarily to an increase in compensation expense resulting from a new branch
opened during the quarter.

GAIN ON SALE OF SECURITIES. The Company had no gains on the sale of securities
during the periods.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income taxes were approximately 32% of income before income
tax in fiscal 2003 and 34% in fiscal 2002. The decrease in fiscal 2003 was due
primarily to a reduction in non-deductable items for the three months ended
December 31, 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Under current Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations, the Bank
maintains certain levels of capital. At December 31, 2003, the Bank was in
compliance with its three regulatory capital requirements as follows:


Amount Percent
------ -------
(In thousands)

Tangible capital ................................ $50,331 8.92%
Tangible capital requirement .................... 8,462 1.50
------- -----
Excess over requirement ........................ $41,869 7.42%
======= =====

Core capital .................................... $50,331 8.92%
Core capital requirement ........................ 22,564 4.00
------- -----
Excess over requirement ......................... $27,767 4.92%
======= =====

Risk based capital .............................. $53,648 16.39%
Risk based capital requirement .................. 26,191 8.00
------- -----
Excess over requirement ......................... $27,457 8.39%
======= =====


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.

The Bank's liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay withdrawals
of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost effective manner. The
Bank's primary source of funds are deposits, scheduled

8

amortization and prepayments on loan and mortgage-backed securities, and
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas ("FHLB"). As of December 31,
2003, FHLB borrowed funds totaled $153.8 million. Loan repayments, maturing
investments and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by
general interest rates and economic conditions.

The Bank is required under federal regulations to maintain sufficient liquidity
for its safe and sound operation. The Bank believes that it maintains sufficient
liquidity to operate the Bank in a safe and sound manner.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

disclosed under the heading "Asset and Liability Management" in the Company's

-----------------------------------------------
