(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP")
for complete financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal and
recurring nature and, in the opinion of management, the statements
include all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2002, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. The consolidated balance sheet of
the Company as of September 30, 2002, has been derived from the audited
balance sheet of the Company as of that date.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues
and expenses for the period. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the
determination of the allowances for losses on loans, real estate owned,
and valuation of mortgage servicing rights. Management believes that
these allowances are adequate, future additions to the allowances may be
necessary based on changes in economic conditions.

The Company's critical accounting policies involving the more
significant judgements and assumptions used in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002, have remained
unchanged from September 30, 2002. These policies are provision for
loan losses and mortgage servicing rights. Disclosure of these critical
accounting policies is incorporated by reference under Item 8
"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the Company's year ended September 30, 2002.

The FASB recently issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations," No.144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44,
and 64, Amendment of FASB Statements No. 13, and Technical
Corrections," No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities," and No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial
Institutions." These Statements are effective on various dates
throughout the Company's 2003 fiscal year. Implementation of these
Statements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

Certain quarterly amounts for previous periods have been
reclassified to conform to the current quarter's presentation.

(9) SEGMENT INFORMATION

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," the Company has identified two
principal operating segments for purposes of financial reporting:
Banking and Mortgage Banking. These segments were determined based on
the Company's internal financial accounting and reporting processes and
are consistent with the information that is used to make operating
decisions and to assess the Company's performance by the Company's key
decision makers.

The Mortgage Banking segment originates mortgage loans for sale to
investors and for the portfolio of the Banking segment. The Banking
segment provides a full range of banking services through the Bank's
branch network, exclusive of mortgage loan originations. A portion of
the income presented in the Mortgage Banking segment is derived from
sales of loans to the Banking segment based on a transfer pricing
methodology that is designed to approximate economic reality. The Other
and Eliminations segment includes financial information from the parent
company plus inter-segment eliminations.

The following table presents financial information from the
Company's operating segments for the periods indicated. Dollar amounts
are expressed in thousands.

wholly owned subsidiary of NASB Financial, Inc. formed solely to
facilitate the transaction. The agreement provided that upon the
effective date of the merger, each shareholder of CBES would receive
$17.50 in cash for each share of CBES common stock owned by such
shareholder. The aggregate purchase price was $15.6 million. The
following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and

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

GENERAL

The principal business of the Company is to provide banking
services through the Bank. Specifically, the Bank obtains savings and
checking deposits from the public, then uses those funds to originate
and purchase real estate loans and other loans. The Bank also purchases
mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and other investment securities
from time to time as conditions warrant. In addition to customer
deposits, the Bank obtains funds from the sale of loans held-for-sale,
the sale of securities available-for-sale, repayments of existing
mortgage assets, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB"). The Bank's primary sources of income are interest on loans,
MBS, and investment securities plus customer service fees and income
from mortgage banking activities. Expenses consist primarily of
interest payments on customer deposits and other borrowings and general
and administrative costs.

The Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and is subject
to periodic examination by both entities. The Bank is also subject to
the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("FRB"), which establishes rules regarding reserves that must be
maintained against customer deposits.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS
The Company's total assets as of December 31, 2002, were $1,106.8
million, an increase of $128.5 million from September 30, 2002, the
prior fiscal year end. $109.9 million of this increase was due to the
merger with Community Bancorp, Inc.

As the Bank originates mortgage loans each month, management
evaluates the existing market conditions to determine which loans will
be held in the Bank's portfolio and which loans will be sold in the
secondary market. Loans sold in the secondary market can be sold with
servicing released or converted into MBS and sold with the loan
servicing retained by the Bank. At the time of each loan commitment, a
decision is made to either hold the loan for investment, hold it for
sale with servicing retained, or hold it for sale with servicing
released. Management monitors market conditions to decide whether loans
should be held in portfolio or sold and if sold, which method of sale is
appropriate. During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Bank
originated and purchased $203.9 million in mortgage loans held for sale,
$224.1 million in mortgage loans held for investment, and $6.6 million
in other loans. This total of $434.6 million in loans originated
compares to $335.1 million in loans originated during the three months
ended December 31, 2001.

Included in the $130.9 million in loans held for sale as of
December 31, 2002, are $25.6 million in mortgage loans held for sale
with servicing released. All loans held for sale are carried at the
lower of cost or fair value.

The Bank classifies problem assets as "substandard," "doubtful"
or "loss." Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses,
and it is possible that the Bank will sustain some loss unless the
deficiencies are corrected. Doubtful assets have the same defects as
substandard assets plus other weaknesses that make collection or full
liquidation improbable. Assets classified as loss are considered
uncollectible and of such little value that a specific loss allowance is
warranted.

The following table summarizes the Bank's classified assets as
reported to the OTS, plus any classified assets of the holding company.
Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

Management records a provision for loan losses in amounts
sufficient to cover current net charge-offs and an estimate of probable
losses based on an analysis of risks that management believes to be
inherent in the loan portfolio. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
("ALLL") recognizes the inherent risks associated with lending
activities but, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to
particular problem assets but to a homogenous pool of loans. Management
believes that the specific loss allowances and ALLL are adequate. While
management uses available information to determine these allowances,
future allowances may be necessary because of changes in economic
conditions. Also, regulatory agencies (OTS and FDIC) review the Bank's
allowance for losses as part of their examinations, and they may require
the Bank to recognize additional loss provisions based on the
information available at the time of their examinations.

LIABILITIES AND EQUITY
Customer deposit accounts increased $68.5 million during the three
months ended December 31, 2002. The weighted average rate on customer
deposits as of December 31, 2002, was 2.52%, a decrease from 4.08% as of
December 31, 2001.

Advances from the FHLB were $349.5 million as of December 31, 2002,
an increase of $54.3 million from September 30, 2002. During the three-
month period, the Bank borrowed $145.0 million of new advances, acquired
$10.4 million in the merger, and repaid $101.1 million. Management uses
FHLB advances at various times as an alternate funding source to provide
operating liquidity and to fund the origination and purchase of mortgage
loans.

Escrows were $4.0 million as of December 31, 2002, a decrease of
$3.4 million from September 30, 2002. This decrease is due to amounts
paid for borrowers' taxes during the fourth calendar quarter of 2002.

Total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2002, was $113.2
million (10.3% of total assets). This compares to $109.4 million (11.2%
of total assets) at September 30, 2002. On a per share basis,
stockholders' equity was $13.42 on December 31, 2002, compared to $13.00
on September 30, 2002.

The Company paid cash dividends on its common stock of $0.15 on
November 22, 2002. Subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 2002,
the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.17 per share to be paid on
February 28, 2003, to stockholders of record as of February 7, 2003.

Total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2002, includes an
unrealized gain of $422,000, net of deferred income taxes, on available
for sale securities. This amount is reflected in the line item
"Accumulated other comprehensive income."

RATIOS
The following table illustrates the Company's return on assets
(annualized net income divided by average total assets); return on
equity (annualized net income divided by average total equity); equity-
to-assets ratio (ending total equity divided by ending total assets);
and dividend payout ratio (dividends paid divided by net income).

Three months ended
------------------------
12/31/02 12/31/01

Return on assets 1.94% 2.10%
Return on equity 18.16% 21.18%
Equity-to-assets ratio 10.23% 10.01%
Dividend payout ratio 25.00% 20.60%

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of three months ended December 31,
2002 and 2001.

For the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company had net
income of $5,055,000 or $0.60 per share. This compares to net income of
$5,160,000 or $0.61 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2001.

12

NET INTEREST MARGIN
The Company's net interest margin is comprised of the difference
("spread") between interest income on loans, MBS and investments and
the interest cost of customer deposits and other borrowings. Management
monitors net interest spreads and, although constrained by certain
market, economic, and competition factors, it establishes loan rates and
customer deposit rates that maximize net interest margin.

The following table presents the total dollar amounts of interest
income and expense on the indicated amounts of average interest-earning
assets or interest-costing liabilities for the three months ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001. Average yields reflect reductions due to
non-accrual loans. Once a loan becomes 90 days delinquent, any interest
that has accrued up to that time is reserved and no further interest
income is recognized unless the loan is paid current. Average balances
and weighted average yields for the periods include all accrual and non-
accrual loans. The table also presents the interest-earning assets and
yields for each respective period. Dollar amounts are expressed in
thousands.

yields and rates used in the preparation of this analysis come from the
preceding table. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

13

Net interest margin before loan loss provision for the three months
ended December 31, 2002, increased $2.6 million from the same period in
the prior year. Specifically, total interest expense decreased $3.8
million due to a $20.2 million decrease in the average balances of
interest-costing liabilities and a decrease in the interest rate cost of
those liabilities of 1.7%. This was partially offset by a decrease in
total interest income of $1.2 million from the same period in the prior
year. $1.8 million of this decrease resulted from a 63 basis point
decrease in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets, which
was offset by $14.5 million increase in the average balance of interest-
earning assets.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company's provision for loan losses was $18,000 during the
quarter ended December 31, 2002, compared to $341,000 for the same
period in the prior year. Management performs an ongoing analysis of
individual loans and of homogenous pools of loans to assess for any
impairment. On a consolidated basis, loan loss reserve was 48.0% of
total classified assets at December 31, 2002, 42.3% at September 30,
2002, and 32.9% at December 31, 2001.

As stated above, management believes that the provisions for loan
losses is adequate. The provision can fluctuate based on changes in
economic conditions or changes in the information available to
management. Also, regulatory agencies review the Company's allowances
for losses as a part of their examination process and they may require
changes in loss provision amounts based on information available at the
time of their examination.

OTHER INCOME
Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2002,
decreased $2.7 million from the same period in the prior year.
Specifically, gain on sale of loans held for sale decreased $1.0 million
due to decreased mortgage banking volume. Provision for losses on real
estate owned increased $1.1 million due primarily to a $1.2 million
reserve recorded on a hotel property in the Southeast area of Kansas
City, Missouri. The provision for loss associated with this property,
which was foreclosed in September 2001, reduces it's carrying value to
$2.5 million. Several events occurred during the quarter ended December
31, 2002, which led management to establish the provision. First, a
well-known large retail chain, which had previously announced plans to
occupy space in a shopping mall adjacent to the hotel property,
announced that they had been unsuccessful in reaching agreement on a
lease. Management believed this retail neighbor would have helped to
sustain the pre-provision carrying value of the hotel. Secondly, the
hotel property experienced declining occupancy ratios during the quarter
and management's efforts to sell the property at its previous carrying
value were unsuccessful. Management believes this property is properly
recorded at it's new carrying value, however, any further deterioration
may require further write-downs in the future.

Net loan servicing fees decreased $1.1 million, which was a result
of increases in actual and estimated future prepayment of the underlying
mortgage loans during the quarter. These decreases in other income were
partially offset by an increase in impairment recovery on mortgage
servicing rights of $523,000. Income from loan servicing fees are net
of amortization of mortgage servicing rights. Such amortization is
greatly affected by the level of actual prepayments and estimated future
prepayments on the underlying mortgage loans. Management performs an
ongoing analysis of mortgage servicing rights to determine to what
extent, if any, they may be impaired. Changes in the trend of mortgage
interest rates can occur quickly and may have a significant impact on
future mortgage prepayments and amortization of mortgage servicing
rights.

14

GENREAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Total general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
December 31, 2002, increased $360,000 from the same period in the
previous year. This was due primarily to an increase in compensation
and other expenses attributable to the increased loan origination
volume.

REGULATION

The Bank is a member of the FHLB System and its customers' deposits
are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the
FDIC. The Bank is subject to regulation by the OTS as its chartering
authority. Since passage of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA" or the "Act"), the
FDIC also has regulatory control over the Bank. The transactions of
SAIF-insured institutions are limited by statute and regulations that
may require prior supervisory approval in certain instances.
Institutions also must file reports with regulatory agencies regarding
their activities and their financial condition. The OTS and FDIC make
periodic examinations of the Bank to test compliance with the various
regulatory requirements. The OTS can require an institution to re-value
its assets based on appraisals and to establish specific valuation
allowances. This supervision and regulation is intended primarily for
the protection of depositors. Also, savings institutions are subject to
certain reserve requirements under Federal Reserve Board regulations.

INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS
The SAIF insures the Bank's customer deposit accounts to a maximum
of $100,000 for each insured member. Deposit insurance premiums are
determined using a Risk-Related Premium Schedule ("RRPS"), a matrix
which places each insured institution into one of three capital groups
and one of three supervisory groups. Currently, deposit insurance
premiums range from 0 to 27 basis points of the institution's total
deposit accounts, depending on the institution's risk classification.
The Bank is currently considered "well capitalized", which is the most
favorable capital group and supervisory subgroup. SAIF-insured
institutions are also assessed a premium to service the interest on
Financing Corporation ("FICO") debt.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
At December 31, 2002, the Bank exceeds all capital requirements
prescribed by the OTS. To calculate these requirements, a thrift must
deduct any investments in and loans to subsidiaries that are engaged in
activities not permissible for a national bank. As of December 31,
2002, the Bank did not have any investments in or loans to subsidiaries
engaged in activities not permissible for national banks.

The following tables summarize the relationship between the Bank's
capital and regulatory requirements. Dollar amounts are expressed in
thousands.

LOANS TO ONE BORROWER
Institutions are prohibited from lending to any one borrower in
excess of 15% of the Bank's unimpaired capital plus unimpaired surplus,
or 25% of unimpaired capital plus unimpaired surplus if the loan is
secured by certain readily marketable collateral. Renewals that exceed
the loans-to-one-borrower limit are permitted if the original borrower
remains liable and no additional funds are disbursed. As of December
31, 2002, the Bank had no loans that exceeded the loans to one borrower
limit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Bank generates liquidity primarily from savings deposits and
repayments on loans, investments, and MBS. Liquidity measures the
ability to meet deposit withdrawals and lending commitments. For
secondary sources of liquidity, the Bank has the ability to sell assets
held for sale, can borrow from primary securities dealers on a
collateralized basis, and can use the FHLB of Des Moines' credit
facility.

Fluctuations in the level of interest rates typically impact
prepayments on mortgage loans and MBS. During periods of falling
interest rates, these prepayments increase and a greater demand exists
for new loans. The Bank's customer deposits are partially impacted by
area competition. Management is not currently aware of any other market
or economic conditions that could materially impact the Bank's future
ability to meet obligations as they come due.
