                 EQUITABLE FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK OF GRAND ISLAND
                   NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

 (1)     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include all
disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the financial statements in
conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, all
adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair
presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Such
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the entire year or any other interim
period. For additional information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto of Equitable Federal Savings Bank of Grand Island (the "Bank")
included in Equitable Financial Corp.'s (the "Company" or "Equitable Financial")
prospectus, dated September 27, 2005.

         In preparing financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally
accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are
particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to
determination of the allowance for loan losses and the fair values of financial
instruments.

         Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to correspond with
the current period presentations.

(2)      MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY REORGANIZATION AND STOCK ISSUANCE

         Equitable Financial was organized as a federal corporation at the
direction of the Bank in connection with the mutual holding company
reorganization of the Bank. The reorganization was completed on November 8,
2005. In the reorganization, Equitable Financial sold 43.1% of its outstanding
shares of common stock (1,421,226 shares) to the public, contributed 1.9% of its
outstanding shares of common stock (62,653 shares) to the Equitable Bank
Charitable Foundation and issued 55% of its outstanding shares of common stock
(1,813,630 shares) to Equitable Financial MHC, the mutual holding company of the
Bank. In connection with the reorganization, the Bank changed its name to
Equitable Bank. Costs incurred in connection with the common stock offering were
recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the offering and are estimated to
be approximately $1.04 million. Net proceeds from the common stock offering
amounted to approximately $13.2 million.


(3)      EARNINGS PER SHARE

         When presented, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing
income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share 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. Because
the formation of the Company was not completed as of September 30, 2005, per
share earnings data is not meaningful for this quarter or prior comparative
periods and is therefore not presented.

(4)      RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In January 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") began a
project ("EITF 03-1") to provide additional guidance on when a market value
decline on debt and marketable equity securities should be considered
other-than-temporary. Currently, declines in market value that are considered to
be other-than-temporary require that a loss be recognized through the income
statement. The EITF issued additional guidance in March 2004 establishing
criteria for recognition and measurement under this pronouncement. The Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") recently delayed the effective date of the
impairment requirements of EITF 03-1. If EITF 03-1 becomes effective in the
future, management believes that it should not have a material impact on its
financial results.

         In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 123R, SHARE BASED PAYMENT.
As a result of the Plan discussed in Note 2, this statement would be effective
for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after June 30, 2006. As of
the effective date, compensation expense related to the nonvested portion of
awards outstanding as of that date would be based on the grant-date fair value
as calculated under the original provisions of Statement 123. Adoption of this
standard could materially impact the amount of salary expense incurred for
future financial statements reporting if the Company has a stock award program
in place after the proposed statement becomes effective.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

         Management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations at and for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results
of operations of the Bank. The information contained in this section should be
read in conjunction with the Unaudited Financial Statements and the notes and
tables thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this document.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are
based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations
of Equitable Financial MHC, Equitable Financial and Equitable Bank. These
forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words
"believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project" or similar
expressions.

         Equitable Financial MHC, Equitable Financial and Equitable Bank's
ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is
inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the
operations of Equitable Financial and its subsidiary include, but are not
limited to, changes in interest rates, national and regional economic
conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of
the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal
Reserve Board, the quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios,
demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial
services in Equitable Financial and Equitable Bank's market area, changes in
real estate market values in Equitable Financial and Equitable Bank's market
area, changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines and inability of
third party service providers to perform.

         These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating
forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, Equitable
Financial does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to
release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

GENERAL

         Equitable Financial was organized as a federal corporation at the
direction of the Bank in connection with the mutual holding company
reorganization of the Bank. The reorganization was completed on November 8,
2005. In the reorganization, Equitable Financial sold 43.1% of its outstanding
shares of common stock (1,421,226 shares) to the public, contributed 1.9% of its
outstanding shares of common stock (62,653 shares) to the Equitable Bank
Charitable Foundation and issued 55% of its outstanding shares of common stock
(1,813,630 shares) to Equitable Financial MHC, the mutual holding company of the
Bank. In connection with the reorganization, the Bank changed its name to
Equitable Bank. Costs incurred in connection with the common stock offering were
recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the offering and are estimated to
be approximately $1.04 million. Net proceeds from the common stock offering
amounted to approximately $13.2 million.

         The Company was not organized until November 8, 2005. Accordingly, the
information set forth in this report at June 30, 2005 and for the three months
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, including the financial statements and
related financial data, relates to the Bank only.

         The Bank is headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska and is a
community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial
services needs of consumers and businesses within our market areas. The Bank is
engaged primarily in the business of attracting deposits from the general

public and using such funds to originate one-to four-family residential real
estate loans. To a lesser extent, we originate multi-family and nonresidential

ended September 30, 2005, compared to net income of $75,000 during the three

         Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2005
decreased $130,000 or 13.0%, compared to the same period last year, as a result
of an increase in funding costs reflecting the rising short-term interest rate
environment. Total interest income increased $77,000 as a result of loan growth,
primarily in nonresidential real estate, and an increase in the yield on other
earning assets. Total interest expense increased $207,000 as a result of
increased average balances of interest bearing liabilities and an increased cost
of funds, as well as an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings needed to
fund the loan growth.

         PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation
allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. We evaluate
the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. When additional allowances
are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.

The following table summarizes the activity in the provision for loan losses for
the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

         The $163,000 increase in non-interest income was primarily due to the
opening of two additional wealth management divisions, through which we sell
non-deposit investment products, in North Platte and Grand Island. Other loan
fees increased to $66,000 on September 30, 2005 from $29,000 in 2004. This
increase is from the increase in loan originations from our new branch
facilities in North Platte and Omaha.

(1) Computed as non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income
    and non-interest income, excluding securities gains and losses, and gain on
    sale of data processor stock.

         Total non-interest expenses increased $323,000, or 30.3%, for the three
months ended September 30, 2005, from the three months ended September 30, 2004.
This increase is primarily as a result of an increase in salaries and employee
benefits, occupancy expense and advertising related to the opening of three new
facilities in Omaha, North Platte and Grand Island. The Bank also recorded
increases in professional fees due to our ongoing strategic activities,
including our expansion activities.

         INCOME TAXES. The Bank recorded a tax benefit of $83,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to a tax expense of $20,000
during the three months ended September 30, 2004. The effective tax rate was 21%
for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to (42)% for the three
months ended September 30, 2005. The tax benefit in 2005 resulted from the loss
recorded during the period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

         LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and
future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of
funds consist of deposit in-flows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of
securities, and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. While maturities and
scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds,
deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest
rates, economic conditions and competition.

         We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our
assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields
available on interest-earning deposits and securities and (4) the objectives of
our asset/liability management policy.

         Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of
these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing
activities during any given period. At September 30, 2005, cash and cash
equivalents totaled $1.9 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale
whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of
liquidity, totaled $3.3 million at September 30, 2005. Total securities
classified as available-for-sale were $12.3 million at September 30, 2005. Of
this amount, $6.3 million were pledged to secure certain depository
relationships, such as certificates of deposit and checking accounts held by
various municipal entities and a charitable organization, as well as a line of
credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka. In addition, at September 30,
2005, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $58.4 million from
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka. On September 30, 2005, we had $38.7
million of borrowings outstanding. Early prepayment of these borrowings would
incur approximately $800,000 in prepayment penalties. Future growth of our loan
portfolio resulting from our expansion efforts may require us to borrow
additional funds.

         At September 30, 2005, we had $14.6 million in loan commitments
outstanding, which consisted of $3.8 million of mortgage loan commitments, $6.1
million in unused home equity lines of credit, $144,000 in personal lines of
credit, and $4.6 million in commercial lines of credit. Certificates of deposit
due within one year of September 30, 2005 totaled $39.2 million, or 45.5% of
certificates of deposit. We believe the large percentage of certificates of
deposit that mature within one year reflects customers' hesitancy to invest
their funds for long periods in the current low interest rate environment. If
these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other
sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings.
Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such
deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of
deposit due on or before September 30, 2006. We believe, however, based on past
experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain
with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the
interest rates offered.

         CAPITAL MANAGEMENT. We are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision, including a
risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a
definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by
assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk
categories. At September 30, 2005, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital
requirements. We are considered "well capitalized" under regulatory guidelines.

         We also manage our capital for maximum stockholder benefit. The capital
from our recently completed stock offering significantly increased our liquidity
and capital resources. Over time, the initial level of liquidity will be
reduced, as net proceeds from the stock offering are used for general corporate
purposes, including the funding of lending activities. We may use capital
management tools such as cash dividends and common stock repurchases. However,
under the Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, we are not allowed to
repurchase any shares during the first year following the offering, except under
limited circumstances.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

         In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial
transactions that, in accordance with U.S. 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 and lines of credit. We currently
have no plans to engage in hedging activities in the future.

         For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and the year ended June
30, 2005, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably
likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.

COMMITMENTS

         Since March 31, 2005, we have opened the following new offices: an
additional loan production and retail investment office in Grand Island that we
intend to convert to a full-service branch in calendar year 2006; a full-service
branch in North Platte; and a loan production office in Omaha that we intend to
convert to a full-service branch at a new location in calendar year 2005. In
addition, we intend to open a loan production and retail investment office in
             ------
Lincoln in calendar year 2006 that will be converted to a full-service branch at
a new location in 2006. Based on current estimates, we expect the total cost of
the land and construction for the new Grand Island and North Platte locations to
be $3.3 million, of which $775,000 had been incurred at September 30, 2005. We
currently expect to lease our initial locations in Omaha and Lincoln and expect
annual lease expenses to be approximately $13,500 for each location. We also
plan to renovate our main office facility in Grand Island in the first half of
2006 with cost estimates of $600,000.
