(unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

TierOne Corporation (the "Company") is a Wisconsin corporation headquartered in
Lincoln, Nebraska. TierOne Corporation became the bank holding company for
TierOne Bank (the "Bank") in connection with the mutual to stock conversion of
TierOne Bank which was completed in October 2002. At June 30, 2003, TierOne Bank
operated from 58 banking offices located in Nebraska, southwest Iowa and
northern Kansas, two loan production offices in Colorado and a loan production
office in Minnesota.

Note 2 - Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its
wholly owned subsidiary, TMS Corporation of the Americas ("TMS"). TMS is the
holding company of TierOne Investments and Insurance, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary that administers the sale of insurance and securities products, and
TierOne Reinsurance Company, which reinsures credit life and disability
insurance policies.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2003
and for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 have not
been audited by independent auditors. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation. The interim consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended
December 31, 2002. The results of operations for the three and six-months ended
June 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be
expected for the entire calendar year 2003.

Note 3 - Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share data are based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. Employee Stock Ownership
Plan ("ESOP") and Management Recognition and Retention Plan ("MRRP") shares not
committed to be released are not considered to be outstanding. The basic
earnings per share calculation excludes the dilutive effect of all common stock
equivalents. Diluted earnings per share are further adjusted for potential
common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the periods. The
Company's potentially dilutive common shares at June 30, 2003 represent shares
issuable under its stock option and MRRP plans. The dilutive effect of potential
common shares is computed using the treasury stock method. All stock options are
assumed to be 100% vested for purposes of the earnings per share computations.
Earnings per share are presented only for the three and six-months ended June
30, 2003, since no shares were outstanding for the comparable periods in 2002.

Note 9 - Stock Based Benefit Plans

The Company has established the 2003 Management Recognition and Retention Plan
and Trust Agreement ("MRRP"), which is a stock-based incentive plan. The MRRP
was approved by the shareholders at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders
held April 23, 2003.

The following table summarizes shares of the Company's common stock awarded by
the MRRP at June 30, 2003, all of which were granted in April 2003:

Common shares awarded by MRRP (764,850)

Common shares forfeited --
-------------
Shares available for award at June 30, 2003 138,153
=============


The shares awarded by the MRRP vest to the participants at the rate of 20% per
year. As a result, expense for this plan is being recorded over a 60-month
period and is based on the market value of the Company's stock as of the date of
the award. The remaining unamortized cost of the MRRP shares acquired to date is
reflected as a reduction in shareholders' equity. Expense under this plan for
the three and a six-months ended June 30, 2003 was $500,000. Through June 30,
2003 the Company had purchased 76,087 shares.

The Company also established the 2003 Stock Option Plan under which 2,257,508
shares of Company common stock are reserved for the grant of stock options to
directors, officers and employees. The Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors determines the date the options are first exercisable and expire.
Stock options awarded under the Stock Option Plan vest to participants at the
rate of 20% per year. The exercise price of the options is equal to the fair
market value of the common stock on the grant date.

The following is an analysis of the stock option activity for the period ended
June 30, 2003.

At June 30, 2003, no outstanding options were exercisable, the weighted-average
remaining contractual life of outstanding options was 9.83 years, and there were
404,758 shares available for future grants. At June 30, 2003, the average
exercise price on outstanding options was $17.83.

The Company accounts for its stock options in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB
No. 25). Under APB No. 25, as the exercise price of the Company's employees'
stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of
grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Compensation expense for shares
granted under the MRRP is ratably recognized over the period of service, usually
the vesting period, based on the fair value of the stock on the date of grant.

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS No. 123), pro forma net income and
pro forma earnings per share are presented in the following table as if the fair
value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans had been utilized.

volatility of 13.2%, risk-free interest rate of 3.5% and an original expected
life of ten years for all options granted.

Note 10 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
Interpretation No. 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or
do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support from other parties ("variable
interest entities"). Variable interest entities ("VIE") are required to be
consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if they do not effectively disperse
risks among parties involved. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that
absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of its
expected residual returns, or both, as a result of holding variable interests.
Interpretation No. 46 also requires new disclosures about VIEs. The Company does
not believe that Interpretation No. 46 will have a material effect on its
financial statements.

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

General

The Bank, a subsidiary of the Company, is a $2.3 billion federally chartered
savings bank headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska. Established in 1907, the Bank
offers a wide variety of full-service consumer and commercial banking products
and services to customers through a geographically diverse network of 58 banking
offices in Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas, two loan production offices in Colorado
and a loan production office in Minnesota. Effective July 11, 2003, the Bank
reduced the total number of banking offices to 57 following the closing of its
West Point, Nebraska office. Product offerings include residential and
commercial real estate financing; consumer, construction and business loans;
lines of credit; consumer and business checking and savings plans; investment
and insurance services; and telephone and internet banking access.

The Company's results of operations depend, to a large extent, on net interest
income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and
investment securities portfolios and the cost of funds, consisting of the
interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Provisions for loan losses, loan sale
activities and loan servicing also affect results of operations. Non-interest
expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office
occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, advertising and business
promotion and other expense. Our results of operations are also significantly
affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in
interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may
materially impact our financial condition and results of operations.

As used in this report, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we,"
"us," or "our" refer to TierOne Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary
TierOne Bank, a federally chartered stock savings bank.

Forward-Looking Statements

In the normal course of business, in an effort to help keep our shareholders and
the public informed about the Company's operations, we may from time to time
issue or make certain statements, either in writing or orally, that are or
contain forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the federal
securities laws. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or
strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from potential acquisitions,
projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, profitability or other
aspects of operating results or other future developments in our affairs or the
industry in which we may conduct business. These forward-looking statements,
which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond our control),
may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "anticipate," "believe," "commitment,"
"consider," "continue," "could," "encourage," "estimate," "expect," "intend,"
"in the event of," "may," "plan," "present," "propose," "prospect," "update,"
"whether," "will," "would," future or conditional verb tenses, similar terms,
variations on such terms or negatives of such terms. Although we believe that
the anticipated results or other expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that
those results or expectations will be attained. Actual results could differ
materially from those indicated in such statements due to risks, uncertainties
and changes with respect to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to,
the following: competitive pressure among depository and other financial
institutions may increase significantly; changes in the interest rate
environment may reduce interest margins and net interest income, as well as
adversely affect loan origination and sales activities and the value of certain
assets, such as investment securities and mortgage servicing rights; general
economic or business conditions, either nationally or in regions in which we do
business, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things,
a deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit; legislation or
changes in regulatory requirements, including without limitation, capital
requirements, or accounting standards may adversely affect us and the business
in which we are engaged; adverse changes may occur in the securities markets;
our competitors may have greater financial resources and develop products and
technology that enable those competitors to compete more successfully than us;
and the growth and profitability of our non-interest income may be less than
expected.

We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses as a critical
accounting policy where amounts are sensitive to material variation. This policy
is significantly affected by our judgment and uncertainties and there is a
likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different,
but reasonably plausible, conditions or assumptions. The allowance for loan
losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because there is a large
degree of judgment in (i) assigning individual loans to specific risk levels
(pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss), (ii) valuing the
underlying collateral securing the loans, (iii) determining the appropriate
reserve factor to be applied to specific risk levels for special mention loans
and those adversely classified (substandard, doubtful and loss) and (iv)
determining reserve factors to be applied to pass loans based upon loan type. We
establish provisions for loan losses, which are charges to our operating
results, in order to maintain a level of total allowance for losses that
management believes covers all known and inherent losses that are both probable
and reasonably estimable at each reporting date. Management performs reviews no
less than quarterly in order to identify these inherent losses and to assess the
overall collection probability for the loan portfolio. Our reviews consist of a
quantitative analysis by loan category, using historical loss experience, and
consideration of a series of qualitative loss factors. For each primary type of
loan, we establish a loss factor reflecting our estimate of the known and
inherent losses in each loan type using both quantitative analysis as well as
qualitative factors. Our evaluation process includes, among other things, an
analysis of delinquency trends, nonperforming loan trends, the levels of
charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the
volume of loan originations, the type, size, terms and geographic concentration
of loans held by us, the value of collateral securing loans, the number of loans
requiring heightened management oversight, general economic conditions and loan
loss information from other institutions. The amount of the allowance for loan
losses is only an estimate and actual losses may vary from these estimates.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002

Our total assets were $2.3 billion at June 30, 2003, a $336.7 million, or 17.3%,
increase from December 31, 2002. Our available for sale investment securities
amounted to $47.1 million at June 30, 2003, a $16.6 million, or 54.3%, increase
from December 31, 2002 primarily due to security purchases of $17.9 million
partially offset by $2.0 million of maturities during the six months ended June
30, 2003. Our mortgage-backed securities portfolio, all of which is available
for sale, amounted to $91.6 million at June 30, 2003, a $61.3 million, or
201.8%, increase from December 31, 2002. During the three months ended March 31,
2003, we purchased two Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") fixed-rate
mortgage-backed security pools in an effort to grow our investment and
mortgage-backed securities portfolios while further diversifying our asset base.
Net loans receivable, including loans held for sale, totaled $2.0 billion at
June 30, 2003, a $250.4 million, or 14.1%, increase from December 31, 2002. At
June 30, 2003 our one-to-four family residential loans, including loans held for
sale, were $706.5 million, a $133.3 million, or 23.3%, increase compared to
December 31, 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we purchased for
our portfolio $182.0 million of hybrid adjustable-rate first mortgage and $112.7
million of fixed-rate second mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family
residential properties in geographically diverse markets across the United
States. Our residential construction loans totaled $193.7 million, a $37.3
million, or 23.9%, increase as compared to $156.3 million at December 31, 2002.
Warehouse mortgage lines of credit amounted to $307.9 million, a $71.4 million,
or 30.2%, increase at June 30, 2003 as compared to $236.5 million at December
31, 2002. The warehouse mortgage lines of credit lending area continues to
experience increased volume due in large part to refinancing activity resulting
from the existing low interest rate environment.

Our total deposits increased by $18.7 million to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2003
as compared to December 31, 2002 as we continued our efforts to increase the
level of our core deposits. At June 30, 2003, our interest-bearing checking
accounts totaled $290.7 million compared to $290.2 million at December 31, 2002.
Our non-interest-bearing checking accounts amounted to $46.1 million, a $10.3
million, or 28.7%, increase as compared to $35.8 million at December 31, 2002.
Our money market accounts totaled $277.6 million, a $7.3 million, or 2.7%,
increase compared to December 31, 2002. Our certificates of deposit declined
$2.4 million, or 0.5%, to $514.3 million at June 30, 2003 as compared to $516.7
million at December 31, 2002. Our Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and
other borrowings amounted to $712.7 million at June 30, 2003, a $294.4 million,
or 70.4%, increase from December 31, 2002. We have utilized FHLB advances as the
primary funding source for growing our loan portfolio and investment and
mortgage-backed securities portfolios.

Our shareholders' equity increased by $12.2 million to $352.1 million at June
30, 2003 compared to $339.9 million at December 31, 2002 primarily reflecting
$11.8 million in net income earned for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

TierOne Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2003
and June 30, 2002

General. Net income increased by $1.7 million, or 39.3%, to $6.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $4.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, our net income
increased $3.3 million, or 38.6%, to $11.8 million compared to $8.5 million for
the same period in 2002. Net income increased during 2003 due primarily to
increased interest income on loans combined with reductions in the average rates
paid on deposits and borrowings. Average interest rate spread declined to 3.11%
and 3.16% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively,
compared to 3.58% and 3.44% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002,
respectively. Net interest margin declined to 3.57% and 3.65% for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to 3.88% and 3.76% for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. The decline in the
average interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2003 is primarily attributable to the continued low
interest rate environment which has fueled a high level of refinancing activity.
The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing
liabilities increased to 122.41% and 123.12% for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to 110.04% and 110.92% for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

Interest Income. Our total interest income for the three months ended June 30,
2003 was $28.5 million, a $3.0 million, or 11.9%, increase compared to $25.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June
30, 2003 our total interest income was $56.4 million, a $6.4 million, or 12.7%,
increase compared to $50.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The
increase in total interest income during the first half of 2003 was the result
of an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets partially
offset by declining yields on investment securities, mortgage-backed securities
and loans receivable. The average balance of loans receivable (including loans
held for sale) during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 was
$1.9 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. The average balance of loans
receivable (including loans held for sale) during the six months ended June 30,
2003 and June 30, 2002 was $1.8 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. The
weighted average yield earned on the loan portfolio was 5.90% and 6.97% for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively. The weighted
average yield on the loan portfolio for the six month periods ended June 30,
2003 and June 30, 2002 was 6.00% and 6.95%, respectively. The declines in the
yields on loans receivable during the first half of 2003 reflected the lower
interest rate environment which continued to fuel a high level of refinance
activity.

TierOne Corporation and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

Interest Expense. Our total interest expense for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2003 was $10.4 million and $20.7 million, respectively, compared to
$11.0 million and $22.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30,
2002, respectively. The primary reason for the decrease in our interest expense
during the 2003 periods was a reduction in the average interest cost of deposits
to 2.13% and 2.20% during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, compared to 2.90% and 2.97% during the same periods in 2002. The
average interest cost of our certificates of deposit was 3.33% and 3.38% for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, as compared to 3.92% and
4.03% for the same periods in 2002. The average rates on our interest-bearing
checking accounts, money market accounts and savings accounts also declined
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared with the same
periods in 2002. Interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings
increased $1.4 million and $2.6 million during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2003 as compared with the same periods in 2002 due to a higher average
balance of borrowings as the Bank continued to fund loan and investment
securities portfolio growth primarily through additional borrowings. The
increased cost of borrowings was partially offset by a decline in the average
cost of borrowings from 4.59% and 4.56% for the three and six months ended June
30, 2002, respectively, to 3.27% and 3.50% for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2003, respectively.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table shows the extent to which changes in
interest rates and changes in volume of interest-related assets and liabilities
affected our interest income and expense during the periods indicated. For each
category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in rate (change
in rate multiplied by prior year volume) and (2) changes in volume (change in
volume multiplied by prior year rate). The combined effect of changes in both
rate and volume has been allocated proportionately to the change due to rate and
the change due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses. We made a provision for loan losses of $515,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $643,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, our
provision for loan losses was $1.7 million as compared to $1.2 million for the
same period in 2002. Our portfolio of commercial real estate and land loans,
construction loans (residential and commercial), commercial business loans and
consumer loans totaled $1.1 billion at June 30, 2003, an increase of $205.4
million, or 23.2%, as compared to June 30, 2002. These loans are deemed to have
higher levels of known and inherent losses than one-to-four family residential
loans due to, among other things, the nature of the collateral and the
dependency on economic conditions for successful completion or operation of the
project. As such, we have made provisions in order to maintain the allowance for
loan losses at a level we believe, to the best of our knowledge, covers all
known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable
to estimate at the relevant date. At June 30, 2003, our total nonperforming
assets amounted to $6.4 million, or 0.28% of total assets, as compared to $7.5
million, or 0.38% of total assets, at December 31, 2002. During the three and
six months ended June 30, 2003, we charged-off, net of recoveries, $173,000 and
$469,000, respectively, of loans, primarily related to consumer loans. At June
30, 2003, our allowance for loan losses amounted to 286.88% of nonperforming
loans and 0.90% of net loans exclusive of the allowance for loan losses.

Other Income. Our other income increased by $850,000 or 27.9%, to $3.9 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $3.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, other
income amounted to $7.5 million, a $1.2 million, or 19.7%, increase compared to
$6.3 million for the same period in 2002. The increase during the three month
period ended June 30, 2003 was primarily the result of a $2.0 million increase
in gains on loans held for sale, a $616,000 increase in loan fees and a $482,000
increase in checking account fees offset in large part by a $1.4 million
increase in the amortization of mortgage servicing rights and a $906,000
increase in mortgage servicing rights impairment charges. Amortization expense
and impairment charges related to mortgage servicing rights are recorded as a
reduction to fee and service charge income. For the six months ended June 30,
2003, the increase in other income was attributable to a $3.3 million increase
in gains on loans held for sale, a $1.1 million increase in loan fees and a
$826,000 increase in checking account fees partially offset by a $2.3 million
increase in amortization of mortgage servicing rights and a $1.5 million
increase in mortgage servicing rights impairment charges. The increase in our
mortgage servicing rights valuation allowance was deemed necessary due to the
sustained low interest rate environment which has resulted in a continued high
level of mortgage refinancing activity. Total deposit account fees and charges,
driven by continued growth in new core deposit relationships, rose 39.4% and
37.4%, to $1.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same periods in 2002.

Other Expense. Our other expense increased by $1.7 million, or 17.4%, to $11.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $10.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30,
2003, other expense totaled $22.8 million, a $3.1 million, or 15.9%, increase
compared to $19.7 million during the same period in 2002. This increase during
the six month period ended June 30, 2003 resulted primarily from a $1.3 million
expense associated with the Company's ESOP which was implemented in October 2002
as part of the Bank's mutual to stock conversion, a $1.1 million increase in
compensation expense related to salary increases and continued additions of
business line personnel and a $500,000 expense related to the MRRP.

Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense increased by $1.1 million to $3.6
million and by $2.1 million to $6.9 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2003, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2003 was 36.9% and 36.8%, respectively, as compared to
36.1% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2002.

Liquidity and Commitments

Our primary sources of funds are from deposits, amortization of loans and
investment securities, loan and investment security prepayments and maturities
and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the
amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment
securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan
prepayments can be greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition. Excess funds are maintained in short-term,
interest-bearing assets that provide additional liquidity. We also utilize
outside borrowings, primarily from the FHLBank Topeka (formerly known as the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka), as an additional funding source.

We use our liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund
maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in
other interest-earning assets and to meet operating expenses. At June 30, 2003,
we had certificates of deposit maturing within the next 12 months amounting to
$291.1 million. Based upon historical experience, we anticipate that a
significant portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be redeposited
with us.

In addition to cash flow from loan and investment and mortgage-backed securities
payments and prepayments, as well as from sales of available for sale
securities, we have additional borrowing capacity available to fund our
liquidity needs. We have increased our utilization of borrowings as a cost
efficient addition to deposits as a source of funds. The average balance of our
borrowings was $553.7 million and $270.7 million for three months ended June 30,
2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively. The average balance of our borrowings was
$491.6 million and $264.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and
June 30, 2002, respectively. To date, substantially all of our borrowings have
consisted of advances from the FHLBank Topeka. Pursuant to blanket collateral
agreements with the FHLBank Topeka, the Company has pledged qualifying
one-to-four family residential, multi-family, commercial real estate, second
mortgage, construction loans and mortgage-backed securities as collateral for
such advances.

We have not used, and have no present intention to use, any significant
off-balance sheet financing arrangements for liquidity purposes. Our primary
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk are limited to loan servicing
for others, our obligations to fund loans to customers pursuant to existing
commitments and commitments to purchase and sell mortgage loans. In addition, we
have certain risks due to limited recourse arrangements on loans serviced for
others. At June 30, 2003, the maximum total amount of such recourse was
approximately $8.3 million. Based on historical experience, at June 30, 2003, we
had established a reserve of $514,000 with respect to this recourse obligation.
In addition, we have not had, and have no intention to have, any significant
transactions, arrangements or other relationships with any unconsolidated,
limited purpose entities that could materially affect our liquidity or capital
resources. We have not traded, and do not intend to trade, in commodity
contracts.

We anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds and alternative
funding sources to meet our current commitments.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

For a discussion of our asset and liability management policies as well as the
methods used to manage our exposure to the risk of loss from adverse changes in
market prices and rates market, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - How We Manage Our Risks" and -
"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in the Company's
Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2002. There has
been no material change in our asset and liability position or the market value
of our equity since December 31, 2002.

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based
on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or
submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
regulations and are operating in an effective manner.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred
during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
