NOTES  TO  UNAUDITED  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS

(1)  BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION  AND  MANAGEMENT  REPRESENTATIONS
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with  the  instructions  to  Form  10-QSB  and,  therefore,  do  not include all
footnotes  normally  required  for  complete  financial  disclosure.  While  the
Company  believes  that  the  disclosures  presented  are sufficient to make the
information  not misleading, reference may be made to the consolidated financial
statements  and  notes  thereto  included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on
Form  10-KSB.

The  accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition and the related
consolidated  statements of operations and cash flows reflect, in the opinion of
management,  all  material  adjustments  necessary  for fair presentation of the
Company's financial position as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, results
of  operations  and changes in cash flows for the three-month period ended March
31,  2002  and 2001.  The results of operations for the three-month period ended
March  31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of what the results of operations
will  be  for  the  full  year  ending  December  31,  2002.

(2)  EARNINGS  PER  SHARE  (EPS)
Basic  EPS  excludes  dilution  and  is computed by dividing income available to
common  stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities  or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into  common  stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared
in  the  earnings  of  the  entity.

Accordingly, the weighted average number of shares used to compute the basic net
income  per  share were 3,852,846 and 3,842,123 respectively for the three-month
period  ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001.  The weighted average number of
shares  used  to  compute  the  diluted  net income per share were 3,928,875 and
3,850,065 respectively for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 and March
31,  2001,  and  did  not  change  the  earnings  per  share  calculation.

The  following  discussion  is  intended to provide additional information about
Marathon  Bancorp  (the  Company),  its  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations,  which  is  not  otherwise  apparent from the consolidated financial
statements.  Since  Marathon  National  Bank (the Bank) represents a substantial
portion  of  the  Company's  activities  and  investments, the following relates
primarily  to  the financial condition and operations of the Bank.  It should be
read  in  conjunction  with  the Company's  2001  Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB.

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS


FINANCIAL  HIGHLIGHTS  OVERVIEW

Marathon  Bancorp  earnings  increased  58%  over  the  first  quarter  of 2001.
Earnings for the first quarter of 2002 were $399,000 compared to $253,000 earned
in  the first quarter of 2001.  Earnings per share improved to $0.10 compared to
$0.07 last year.  Asset growth for the first quarter was 6.7% over yearend 2001.
Deposits  increased  6.0%  over  yearend.

The Company earned a return on average assets of 1.52% compared to 1.11% for the
first  quarter  of  2001.  Return  on  equity  improved for the first quarter to
13.64% compared to 9.64% in the first quarter of 2001.  The Company became fully
taxable  for  state income taxes in 2002 but will continue to be able to use tax
loss  carryforwards  for  most  of  2002  to  offset  federal  income  taxes.


RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Net  Interest  Income

Net  interest  income  increased $135,000 or 11.7% for the first quarter of 2002
compared  to  the  first  quarter  of  2001.  Interest  income  decrease  in all
categories  due  to  the  decrease in interest rates during 2001.  Prime lending
rate  declined from 9.5% at the beginning of 2001 to 4.75% at the start of 2002.
The  large  growth in the loan portfolio helped to mitigate the decline in rates
to  keep the interest and fees on loans to only  $37,000.  Investment securities
were  increased  in  the  beginning of 2001 when rates were higher and there has
only  been  one  purchase  in  2002.

Interest  expense  has  deceased  by  $253,000  or  43.4% to help the Company to
maintain  an  acceptable  interest  margin on earnings assets.  The net interest
margin  for  the  first  quarter of 2002 was 5.35% compared to the 5.41% for the
first  quarter  of  2001.  Interest expense declined due to the decline in rates
but  also  due  to  a decline in time deposits over $100,000, which dropped from
$15.1  million  at  March  31, 2001 to $10.6 million at March 31, 2002.  Deposit
growth  was  in  noninterest-bearing  deposits  and  money  market  deposits.

Noninterest  Income

Noninterest  income  increased  $93,000  or  49.7% for the first quarter of 2002
versus  the first quarter of 2001.  Service charges and fees on deposit accounts
increased  55.3% due mainly to an increase in income earned on analyzed business
accounts.  This  was  caused  by  a  reduction in the earnings credit applied to
these accounts due to the drop in interest  rates.   During  the  first  quarter
of  2002,  the  Company sold a security for liquidity  purposes  and  realized a
gain of $62,000.  Other noninterest income declined  as  compared  to  the first
quarter of 2001.

Noninterest  Expense

Noninterest  expense  increased  only $5,000 as compared to the first quarter of
2001.  Salaries  and  employee benefits declined $14,000 or 2.4%.  Occupancy and
equipment  costs increased $2,000 each.  Professional services, office supplies,
legal  costs and other expenses had moderate increases while business promotion,
customer  related  costs  and  insurance  declined.

Legal  fees  and costs showed the largest increase  $29,000 due to the fact that
the first quarter of 2001 had a number of legal fee recoveries on settlements on
old  loan chargeoffs.  Income taxes changed from a benefit of 2,000 in the first
quarter  of 2001 to a cost of $45,000 in the first quarter of 2002.  This is due
to the fact that the Company has used up its net operating loss carryforward for
state  franchise  taxes  in the year 2001 and is now currently taxable for state
tax.  We continue to still have some net operating loss for federal income taxes
that  may  cover  earnings  for  the  next  two  quarters.

Provision  for  Credit  Losses:

Loans classified by the Bank as substandard or doubtful were $1,248,000 compared
to $1,410,000 at December 31, 2001.  Nonperforming loans, which consist of loans
past  due over 90 days plus loans on nonaccural, totaled $1,074,000 at March 31,
2002 compared to $1,151,000 at December 31, 2001.  The Company continued to have
no  other real estate owned.  The ratio of reserve to outstanding loans at March
31,  2001  was  1.61%  as  compared  to  1.77%  at  December  31,  2001.

The  portfolio  is analyzed for changes in the risk category ratings, criticized
and  classified  loans,  loan personnel, delinquency trends and general economic
indicators.  The  risk  aspects  of the loan portfolio did not materially change
during  the  first  quarter  but  the  size of the portfolio did increase.  Loan
portfolio  increases  came  in  the  loans  classified  as low risk that did not
require  a  large  increase  in  the  reserve  for  loan  losses.  The  economic
conditions  appear  to  be  improving and our classified loans and delinquencies
have  declined.  We  also use a number of different statistical assessments such
as  historical  loss  experience,  migration  analysis,  trend analysis and peer
comparison  to  determine  the  correct  level  of  the  reserve.

During  the  first  quarter,  the  Bank recorded no charge-offs while collecting
$21,000  in  recoveries  on loans previously charged off and made a provision to
the  reserve of $30,000 during the quarter.  The net increase in the reserve for
credit  losses  was  $51,000.

Based  upon  the factors previously discussed and management's assessment of the
overall  quality of the loan portfolio, management felt the current level in the
reserve  for  credit  losses  was  adequate  at  March  31,  2002.


ASSETS  AND  LIABILITIES

The  first quarter of 2002 showed significant growth in both loans and deposits.
Loans increased from $61.0 million to $70.2 a  15.1% increase.  Commercial loans
and real estate construction loans were the areas of largest growth.  Investment
securities  decreased  approximately $3 million to help fund the growth in   the
loan  portfolio.

Cash  and  due  from financial institutions - with a balance of $7,183,000 - was
higher  than  normal  on  the  last  day of the quarter due to a large amount in
uncollected  cash  letters.  The  average  cash and due from banks for the first
quarter  of  2002 was $5,636,000 compared with $4,949,000 for the fourth quarter
of  2001.  Federal funds sold was decreased during the first quarter to fund the
increase  in  the  loan  portfolio.

Deposits  increased  $8,360,000  or  9.3%  during  the  first  quarter  of 2002.
Noninterest-bearing  demand  deposits  was  the category that increased the most
growing  24.4% from December 31, 2001.  Since the first of the year money market
funds  have remained fairly consistent and we have experienced a decline in time
certificates of deposit greater than $100,000.  Customers have been reluctant to
reinvest  maturing  time  certificates  at  the  low  yields  available  today.

The  lease  on  the  Company's head office and corporate space expires in August
2002  and  the Company is currently in final negotiations with both the owner of
its  current facility and other potential buildings and will sign a new lease in
the near future.  The Company does not anticipate that the new lease will have a
material  affect  on  earnings.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL


Asset/Liability  Management

Liquidity  and asset/liability management is the responsibility of the Company's
Asset/Liability  Committee  (ALCO).  They are responsible for managing the risks
associated  with  changing  interest rates and their impact on earnings, as well
as,  the  liquidity  needs  of  the  Company  within  the  guidelines of policy.

The  ALCO  monitors the Company's liquidity position continuously in relation to
trends  in  loans  and  deposits,  and  relates  the data to short and long term
expectations.  In  order to serve customers effectively, funds must be available
to  meet credit needs as well as withdrawals of deposited funds. Assets that are
normally considered liquid are federal funds sold, available for sale investment
securities,  cash  and due from banks, and securities purchased under agreements
to  resell.  The  ratio  of  liquid assets to deposits was 22.8% as of March 31,
2002  and  the  loan  to  deposit  ratio  was  73.9%.

Interest  rate  risk  management  focuses  on  the  maturity  and  repricing  of
interest-bearing  earning  assets  in  relationship  to  the  interest-bearing
liabilities  that  fund  them.  Net  interest  income  can  be  vulnerable  to
fluctuations arising from a change in the general level of interest rates to the
extent  that  the average yield on earning assets responds differently to such a
change  than  does  the  average  cost  of  funds.

The  Company  measures  interest rate sensitivity by distributing the maturities
and repricing periods of assets and supporting funding liabilities into interest
sensitivity  periods,  summarizing  interest rate risk in terms of the resulting
interest  sensitivity  gaps.  A  positive  gap  indicates  that  more  interest
sensitive  assets  than interest sensitive liabilities will be repriced during a
specified  period,  while  a  negative  gap  indicates  the  opposite condition.

It is the Bank's policy to maintain an adequate balance of rate sensitive assets
to  rate  sensitive  liabilities  that provides for good earnings but acceptable
interest  rate  risk.  Due  to  the  fact that the Bank has a large portfolio of
noninterest  bearing  demand  deposits,  the Company has historically been asset
sensitive with a positive gap.  Our Company is currently asset sensitive and but
we  have  decreased  its  overall asset sensitivity during the last twelve-month
period.  The  Company had a positive cumulative gap as a percent of total assets
at  March  31,  2002  of  13.1%.

Capital

First quarter shareholder's equity increased from December 31, 2001 by $140,000.
The  change  in  net  unrealized  gain/loss  on  securities  available-for-sale
decreased  $260,000  limiting  the  overall increase in equity.  The exercise of
stock  options  provided  $1,000  in  additional  capital.

The  Bank  is required to meet certain minimum risk-based capital guidelines and
leverage  ratios promulgated by the bank regulatory authorities.  The risk based
capital standards establish capital requirements that are more sensitive to risk
differences  between  various  assets,  consider off balance sheet activities in
assessing  capital  adequacy,  and minimize the disincentives to holding liquid,
low risk assets.  The leverage ratio consists of tangible Tier 1 capital divided
by  average  total  assets.

The  adequately  capitalized  risk-based  capital  ratio required by the federal
regulators  is  8.0 percent and the well-capitalized ratio is 10.0 percent.  The
Tier  I capital to risk-weighted assets (leverage ratio) required by the federal
regulators  is 4.0 percent and 6.0 percent to be well-capitalized.  At March 31,
2002  the  Company  continues to be well-capitalized with the risk based capital
ratio  at  14.4  percent  and  the  leverage  ratio  at  11.1  percent.
