PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     Item 1 - Financial Statements

East Texas Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in September of
1994 for the purpose of acquiring all of the common stock of First Federal
Savings and Loan Association of Tyler (the "Association"), concurrent with its
conversion from the mutual to stock form of ownership. The Company completed its
initial public stock offering of 1,215,190 shares of $.01 par value common stock
on January 10, 1995. The Company utilized approximately one half of the net
stock sale proceeds to acquire all of the common stock issued by the
Association.

On June 30, 2000, the Company acquired by merger 100% of the common stock of
Gilmer Financial Services, Inc. ("Gilmer" or "the Gilmer transaction") and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Gilmer Savings Bank, F.S.B. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase transaction. Gilmer was merged into the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Tyler.
The assets and liabilities of Gilmer were recorded at their fair market values.
The difference in the purchase price and the fair market value of the assets and
liabilities acquired was recorded as goodwill. The statements of income for the
three and six month periods ended March 31, 2000 do not reflect income for
Gilmer.

The financial statements presented in this Form 10-QSB reflect the consolidated
financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiary, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Tyler.

Certain items from prior periods have been reclassified for comparability
purposes.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements presented in this report have been prepared by the
Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for interim reporting and include all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation. These financial
statements have not been audited by an independent accountant. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations for interim
reporting. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information not misleading. However, these financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statement and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2000.
The financial data and results of operations for interim periods presented may
not necessarily reflect the results to be anticipated for the complete year.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per common share for the three months and six months ended March 31,
2001 and 2000, has been computed based on net income divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the weighted average number of shares
outstanding totaled 1,110,416 and 1,096,007, shares respectively. For the six
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the weighted average number of shares
outstanding totaled 1,110,416 and 1,152,678 shares respectively.

Earnings per common share - assuming dilution, for the three months and six
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, has been computed based on net income
divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In
addition, it includes the effects of all dilutive potential common shares that
were outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2001
and 2000, the weighted average number of shares outstanding for earnings per
share - assuming dilution totaled 1,110,416 and 1,096,007, shares respectively.
For the six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the weighted average number of
shares outstanding for earnings per share - assuming dilution totaled 1,110,421
and 1,175,462 shares respectively.

For both earnings per share and earnings per common share - assuming dilution
and as prescribed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position 93-6 ("SOP 93-6") Employer's Accounting for Employees
Stock Ownership Plans, the weighted average number of shares outstanding does
not include unallocated Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") shares.

See Part II, Item 6 - Exhibits for a detailed presentation of the earnings per
share calculation for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2001
and 2000.

NOTE 4 - CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES


SFAS No. 133 In June of 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and requires
recognition of all derivatives in the statement of financial position at fair
value. The Company currently does not invest in any derivative instruments or
hedging activities as defined in this Statement.

The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The
Company adopted the Statement as required.

SFAS NO. 140 In September 2000, SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" was issued to
amend and replace SFAS No. 125. SFAS No. 140 revises certain standards for
accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and
collateral, and also requires certain additional disclosures.

The statement is effective for transactions occurring after March 31, 2001. The
Company adopted the Statement as required.

NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

The 1995 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Stock Option Plan") provides for
awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, limited stock
appreciation rights, and restricted stock.

                                  Page 11 of 23




Options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company may be granted to
selected directors, officers and key employees. The number of shares of common
stock reserved for issuance under the stock option plan was equal to 182,278 or
10% of the total number of common shares issued pursuant to the conversion. The
option exercise price cannot be less than the fair market value of the
underlying common stock as of the date of the option grant, and the maximum
option term cannot exceed ten years. Awards generally vest at a rate of 20% per
year beginning at the date of the grant. The Company uses treasury stock for the
exercise of options. The following is a summary of changes in options

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

GENERAL

The principle business of the Company is that of a community-oriented financial
institution attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits
to originate one- to four-family residential loans, commercial real estate, one-
to four-family construction, multi-family, commercial and consumer loans. These
funds have also been used to purchase mortgage-backed securities, U. S.
government and agency obligations and other permissible investments. The Company
also borrows funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas ("FHLB") to fund
loans and to purchase securities. The ability of the Company to attract deposits
is influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing
investments, account maturities and levels of personal income and savings. The
Company's cost of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments
and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are influenced by the
demand for real estate loans and other types of loans, which is in turn affected
by the interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic conditions
affecting loan demand, the availability of funds for lending activities,
economic conditions and changes in real estate values.

The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest
income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and
investment portfolios and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results
of operations are also affected by the Company's provision for loan losses and
the net gain (loss) on sales of interest earning assets and loan fees. The
Company's 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.

The start-up costs associated with the new product lines and the expansion are
significant and the Company does not anticipate the new branch office to be
profitable immediately. However, management believes that the long-term future
of the Company is dependent upon the success of this change.

On June 30, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of Gilmer and its wholly
owned subsidiary, Gilmer Savings Bank, F.S.B. The Company acquired 100% of the
outstanding stock of Gilmer, the transaction was accounted for as a purchase
transaction. The assets and liabilities of Gilmer were recorded at their fair
market values as of June 30, 2000. The difference in the net fair value of
Gilmer's assets and liabilities and the purchase price of approximately $5.4
million was recorded as goodwill. The statement of financial condition, the
statement of changes in stockholder's equity and the statement of cash flows
reflect the acquisition of Gilmer. The statement of income for the three months
and six months ended March 31, 2000 reflect only activity for the Company prior
to the acquisition of Gilmer.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $203.8 million at March 31, 2001, a $3.6 million increase from
the $200.2 million reported at September 30, 2000, the Company's most recent
fiscal year end. The increase in total assets was the result of a $14.8 million
increase in mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity, a $3.4 million increase
in loans receivable, $1.3 million increase in federal funds sold and a $1.1
million increase in interest-earning deposits with banks. The increases were
partially offset by a $10.7 decline in investment securities held to maturity, a
$5.0 million decline in mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale and a $1.2
million decrease in investment securities available-for-sale.

                                  Page 14 of 23



At March 31, 2001, loans-receivable totaled $105.4 million, and increase of $3.4
million compared to $102.1 million at September 30, 2000. The increase in
loans-receivable was primarily the result of the Company's continued efforts to
expand its origination of consumer, commercial, and commercial real estate
loans.

The origination of consumer, commercial, and commercial real estate loans is
primarily conducted through the Company's full service banking location in
Gilmer, Texas and the S. Broadway office in Tyler, Texas. The predominant method
for originating these loans is through direct contacts with existing or
potential new customers. However, the Company has increased its origination of
indirect automobile loans through a network of dealers in the Tyler and Gilmer
markets. Prior to purchasing a loan contract from a dealer, the Company
underwrites each indirect loan in the same manner as its direct loans. In
addition, each dealer maintains a reserve account with the Company.

As interest rates declined during the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company
made the decision to begin selling all fixed rate and term mortgage loans into
the secondary market. The Company has established a minimum mortgage rate of
7.00% in order to hold such loans in the portfolio. As mortgage rates fell below
this level, the Company elected to sell loans into the secondary market. In
addition and in an attempt to remain competitive in the market, the Company
began offering its customers the option of having their loan serviced locally by
the Association or to have the loan and the corresponding servicing sold to an
investor. Loans originated where the servicing will be retained by the Company
are sold to FNMA. Loans originated where the servicing and the loan is sold to a
private investor are priced at a slightly lower interest rate, designed to
compete with mortgage brokers in the Company's market.

Investment securities available-for-sale decreased by $1.2 million from $7.9
million at September 30, 2000 to $6.7 million at March 31, 2001. The decrease
was the result of the Company's decision to sell securities acquired in the
Gilmer merger and to reinvest  in securities that better fit the Company's
investment strategy. This portfolio consists of corporate debt securities and
municipal bonds. All of the corporate debt securities have fixed rates and terms
and are non-callable. The Company's investment policy allows for the purchase of
investment-grade corporate bonds only. All corporate debt securities have a
final maturity of four years or less. The municipal bonds, which comprise only
$565,000 of the portfolio, are primarily bonds issued by Upshur County, where
the Company's Gilmer office is located.

Investment securities held-to-maturity was reported as $15.2 million at March
31, 2001, a decline of $10.7 million from the $26.0 million reported at
September 30, 2000. The decrease was the result of bonds that matured or were
called by the issuer during the quarter. This portfolio consists primarily of
debt issued by governmental agencies such as Federal National Mortgage
Corporation, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or the Federal Home Loan
Bank System. Most of the agency-issued bonds in the portfolio are currently
callable at the discretion of the issuer. The Company expects, with anticipated
declining interest rates, much of the portfolio to be called by the issuers over
the next several months. The portfolio also includes corporate debt securities.

Mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale totaled $39.0 million at March 31,
2001, a decrease of $5.0 million from the $44.0 million at September 30, 2000.
The decrease was the result of the Company's decision to sell securities
acquired in the Gilmer merger to reinvest in securities that better fit the
Company's investment strategy.

Mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity portfolio totaled $19.1 million at
March 31, 2001, an increase of $14.8 million from the $4.3 million reported at
September 30, 2000. The increase was primarily due to the Company's decision to
reinvest funds in this portfolio from its investment securities held-to-maturity
and mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale portfolio.

Total deposits were $112.7 million at March 31, 2001, a $11.1 million increase
from the $101.6 million reported at September 30, 2000. The increase was
primarily the result of additional certificates of deposit as the Company
elected to pay more competitive interest rates on such deposits during the
quarter.

The Company reported $71.6 million in borrowed funds at March 31, 2001, a
decrease of $7.4 million from the $79.0 million reported at September 30, 2000.
The decrease was primarily due to the Company's decision to repay

                                  Page 15 of 23



short-term advances from excess cash flow. The advances are primarily used to
fund investments in mortgage-backed securities, which are purchased by the
Company when the Company is unable to originate mortgage loans and place such
loans into the portfolio. In addition, the Company utilizes advances to fund
commercial real estate loans. The Company is able to structure the advances to
match the terms of the loans. Also, the Company utilizes short-term advances to
provide needed liquidity.

Stockholder's equity totaled $17.2 million at March 31, 2001, an increase of
$1.0 million from the $16.2 million reported at September 30, 2000. The increase
was primarily attributable to a net decrease in unrealized losses on
available-for-sale securities, of approximately $814,000, during the quarter.
Stockholder's equity also increased due to the $291,000 of net income reported
for the quarter. Both of these increases were offset by the payment of $58,000
in cash dividends during the quarter.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's net income is dependent primarily upon net interest income, the
difference or spread between the average yield earned on loans and investments
and the average rate paid on deposits, as well as the relative amounts of such
assets and liabilities. The Company, like other financial intermediaries, is
subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing
liabilities mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis, than
its interest earning assets.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001
         AND MARCH 31, 2000

General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $291,000 or
$.26 per share, an increase of $238,000 from the $53,000, or $.05 per share,
reported for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in net income
was attributable to a $297,000 increase in non-interest income and a $274,000
increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses, which were
partially offset by a $191,000 increase in non-interest expense and a $141,000
increase in income tax expense.

Net Interest Income. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, net interest income
before provision for loan losses totaled $1.1 million, and increase of $281,000
over the $820,000 reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. On an
annualized basis, the $1.1 million in net interest income for the current
quarter was approximately 2.28% of average interest-earning assets and 2.17% of
average total assets. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the $820,000 in net
interest income before provisions for loan losses was approximately 2.15% of
average interest-earning assets and 2.06% of average total assets. Average
interest-earning assets were approximately $192.9 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001, compared to $152.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

Total interest income was $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, an
increase of $958,000 over the $2.7 million reported for the quarter ended March
31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest earning
assets, primarily as a result of the additional interest-earning assets acquired
in the Gilmer merger. To a lesser extent, additional interest-earning assets
acquired by the Company during the 12 months ended March 31, 2001 accounted for
the increase in total interest income. On an annualized basis, the $3.6 million
in total interest income was approximately 7.48% of average interest-earning
assets. The $2.7 million in total interest income for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 was approximately 7.02% of average interest-earning assets. The
increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets was a direct result of
the additional consumer, commercial, and commercial real estate loans made by
the Company over the past year and the additional interest earning assets
acquired in the Gilmer merger.

Interest income on loans-receivable was $2.1 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2001. On an annualized basis, the $2.1 million was approximately 8.21% or
average loans-receivable balances outstanding for the quarter ended March 31,
2001, compared to approximately 7.68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The
increase in average yield on the loan portfolio was primarily the result of the
increase in consumer, commercial and commercial real estate loan balances and
the higher yields on such loans recorded over the past 12 months.

                                  Page 16 of 23



Interest income from mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale totaled
$664,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to $639,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. The average yield on the portfolio was
approximately 6.46% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to
approximately 6.93% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

Interest income from the investment securities held-to-maturity portfolio was
$348,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to $556,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. The decrease in income from the portfolio was due
to a decline in the balance in the portfolio from $28.5 million at March 31,
2000 to $15.2 million at March 31, 2001. The portfolio is primarily comprised of
debt issued by Government agencies such as FHLMC, FNMA and the Federal Home Loan
Bank System. The debt has call options at the discretion of the issuer. As
interest rates decreased in February and March of 2001, a significant portion of
the portfolio was called. The Company elected to redirect cash flow from the
called bonds into its mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity portfolio, its
investment held-to-maturity portfolio, and its loans receivable portfolio. The
result was a decline in the average balance on the portfolio and a decrease in
income from the portfolio.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity totaled $290,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, an increase of $197,000 from the $93,000
reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The increase was due primarily to
an increase in the balance in the portfolio from $5.1 million at March 31, 2000
to $19.1 million at March 31, 2001.

Interest paid to depositors totaled $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2001, and increase of $490,000 from the $1.0 million reported for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000. The increase in interest expense on deposit accounts was
primarily attributable to the increase in deposit balances acquired by the
Company in the Gilmer merger. To a lesser extent, additional balances acquired
by the Company during the year and increasing interest rates on certificate of
deposit account renewals during the past year contributed to the increase in
interest expense. On an annualized basis, the $1.5 million in interest expense
on deposits was approximately 5.47% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001,
compared to 4.80% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

Interest on FHLB advances was $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001,
compared to $835,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The increase in
interest expense was a direct result of an increase in average FHLB advance
balances outstanding from approximately $56.1 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 to $72.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Increasing
interest rates during the past year also contributed to the increase in interest
expense. During the past 12 months, the Company increased its reliance on short
term funding from the FHLB to fund loans and investments. Rising interest rates
in 2000 decreased cash flow from the Company's investment portfolios and reduced
cash flow from prepayments in the loan portfolio. The result was that the
Company needed additional FHLB borrowings to fund the loans and investments.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company made $7,000 in provision for loan losses
for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to $400 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000. The increase in provision for loan losses was the result of the
Company's decision to establish additional reserves for losses in its checking
with overdraft privilege program. In 2000, the Company instigated a program
designed to attract additional checking accounts and to increase fee income from
new and current checking accounts. The program allows approved checking account
customers to overdraft their account up to $500. The Company agrees to not
return the insufficient checks but charges the customer the usual insufficient
check charge fee. The Company reviews overdraft checking account balances on a
monthly basis to determine if additional reserves for potential losses in the
program or any of its other checking accounts, is warranted.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income totaled $354,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 compared to $58,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, a
$296,000 increase. The increase was primarily the result of a $178,000 increase
in gains on sales of interest-earning assets. During the quarter ended March 31,
2001, the Company elected to sell a portion of its available-for-sale investment
portfolio. The bonds that were sold were primarily bonds acquired in the Gilmer
merger. Such bonds were primarily adjustable rate securities linked to the "11th
District Cost of Funds" rate index. The Company does not normally purchase bonds
linked to a "lagging"

                                  Page 17 of 23




index such as the "11th District COFI." The increase was also the result of a
$70,000 increase in other noninterest income. Additional fee income from the
Company's free checking and checking with overdraft privilege programs
introduced in 2000 and additional fee income from the transaction accounts
acquired in the Gilmer merger accounted for a portion of the increase in other
noninterest income for the current quarter.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $980,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001, an increase of $191,000 from the $789,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000.

Compensation and benefits expenses increased by $93,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2000, primarily as a
result of the additional employees acquired in the Gilmer merger. Other
operating expenses increased by $60,000, primarily due to a refund of prior
Texas Franchise tax expense recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Also,
a $39,000 increase in amortization of the goodwill created in the Gilmer merger
accounted for a portion of the increase in noninterest expenses for the quarter.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company incurred federal income tax expense of
$176,000 or 37.7% or pre-tax income for the quarter ended March 31, 2001,
compared to $35,000 or 40.0% or pre-tax income for the quarter ended March 31,
2000.



COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001
         AND MARCH 31, 2000

General. For the six months ended March 31, 2001, the Company reported net
income of $340,000 or $.31 per common share and $.31 per common share - assuming
dilution, compared to $147,000 or $.13 per common share and $.12 per common
share - assuming dilution for the six months ended March 31, 2000. The increase
in net income was due to a $363,000 increase in noninterest income and a
$309,000 increase in net interest income after provisions for loan losses. The
increases were partially offset by a $364,000 increase in noninterest expense
and a $115,000 increase in income tax expense.

Net Interest Income. For the six months ended March 31, 2001, net interest
income before provisions for loan losses totaled $2.0 million, an increase of
$333,000 from the $1.7 million reported for the six months ended March 31, 2000.
On an annualized basis, the $2.0 million in net interest income before
provisions for loan losses for the current period was approximately 2.09% of
average interest earning assets and 1.99% of average total assets. For the six
months ended March 31, 2000, the $1.7 million in net interest income before
provisions for loan losses was, on an annualized basis, approximately 2.24% of
average interest earning assets and 2.15% of average total assets. Average
interest earning assets were approximately $192.2 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2001, compared to $150.0 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2000.

Total interest income was $7.3 million or 7.49%, on an annualized basis, of
average interest earning assets for the six months ended March 31, 2001,
compared to $5.3 million or 7.07% of average interest earning assets for the six
months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in total interest income was primarily
attributable to the increase in average outstanding balances of interest earning
assets and, to a lessor extent, an increase in commercial and consumer loans at
higher yields.

Interest income on loans receivable totaled $4.2 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2001 an increase from the $2.6 million reported for the six
months ended March 31, 2000. Average loans receivable balances increased to
$103.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001 from $69.0 million for
the six months ended March 31, 2000. For the six months ended March 31, 2001,
the $4.2 million in interest income on loans receivable was, on an annualized
basis, approximately 8.17%, compared to 7.68% for the six months ended March 31,
2000.

                                  Page 18 of 23



Interest income from mortgage-backed securities available-for sale totaled $1.5
million for the six months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $1.2 million for
the six months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in income was primarily
attributable to an increase in the balance in the portfolio from $32.9 million
at September 30, 1999 to $39.0 million at March 31, 2001.

Interest income on investment securities held-to-maturity totaled $742,000 for
the six months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $937,000 for the six months
ended March 31, 2000. The decrease in interest income on the portfolio was
primarily the result of a derease in the average balance outstanding as bonds in
the portfolio matured or were called at the option of the issuer.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity was $374,000 for
the six months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $181,000 for the six months
ended March 31, 2000. The increase in interest income on the portfolio was
primarily the result of an increase in the balance outstanding in the portfolio
from $5.8 million at September 30, 1999 to $19.1 million at March 31, 2001. The
Company redirected cash flow from its investment securities held-to-maturity
portfolio into this portfolio.

Interest expense was $5.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001, an
increase of $1.6 million from the $3.6 million reported for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2000. An increase in interest costing liabilities, including
advances from the FHLB, from $132.6 million at September 30, 1999 to $184.3
million at March 31, 2001, accounted for the increase in interest expense. The
$5.2 million in interest expense reported for the six month period ended March
31, 2001 was approximately 5.74% of average interest costing liabilities,
compared to 5.38% for the same period in 2000.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income was $481,000 for the six months ended
March 31, 2001, compared to $118,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2000.
The increase was attributable to a $176,000 increase in gains on sales of
interest earning assets. The additional gains were due to the Company's decision
to sell a portion of its bond portfolio. In addition, other noninterest income
increased by $138,000 due to increases in fee income from the Company's consumer
and commercial checking account products and commissions from the sale of credit
insurance on the Company's consumer loans.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was reported as $1.9 million for the
six-month period ended March 31, 2001, a $364,000 increase from the $1.6 million
reported for the six months ended March 31, 2000.

The increase in noninterest expense was primarily the result of a $69,000
increase in compensation and benefits as a result of the Gilmer merger. In
addition, amortization of goodwill from the Gilmer merger accounted for $78,000
of the increase. Also, other noninterest expense increased by $180,000 primarily
due to the franchise tax refund previously received in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 and a $35,000 increase in data processing expenses due to the
Gilmer merger.

Provision For Income Taxes. The Company incurred federal income tax expense of
$206,000 or 37.7% of pre-tax income for the six months ended March 31, 2001,
compared to $91,000 or 38.2% of pre-tax income for the six months ended March
31, 2000.

ASSET QUALITY

At March 31, 2001, the Company's non-performing assets totaled $973,000 or .48%
of total assets, compared to $1.0 million or .52% of total assets at September
30, 2000. At March 31, 2001, non-performing assets were comprised of
non-accruing one- to four family loans, consumer and other loans delinquent more
than 90 days and still accruing foreclosed one- to four family, and foreclosed
consumer and other loans.

Non-performing loans at March 31, 2001 equaled $973,000 or 0.92% of loans
receivable, compared to $1.0 million or 0.97% of loans receivable at September
30, 2000.

Classified assets totaled $3.0 million or 1.46% of total assets at March 31,
2001, compared to $3.0 million or 1.49% of total assets at September 30, 2000.

                                  Page 19 of 23



Classified assets and non-performing assets differ in that classified assets may
include loans less than ninety (90) days delinquent.  Also, assets guaranteed by
government agencies such as the Veterans  Administration and the Federal Housing
Administration  are not  included  in  classified  assets  but are  included  in
non-performing assets. At March 31, 2001, $2.8 million of classified assets were
deemed to be  substandard,  $122,000  assets were  classified  as  doubtful  and
$24,000 were classified as loss.

The Company's allowance for loan losses totaled $807,942 at March 31, 2001,
compared to $1,057,374 September 30, 2000. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of loans receivable equaled 0.77% at March 31, 2001 and 1.04% at
September 30, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits from customers, advances
from the FHLB, amortization and prepayment of loan principal (including
mortgage-backed securities), maturities of securities, sales of loans and
operations.

The Association uses its liquidity and capital resources principally to meet
ongoing commitments to fund maturing certificates of deposit and loan
commitments, maintain liquidity and pay operating expenses. At March 31, 2001,
the Association had outstanding commitments to extend credit on approximately
$4.4 million of loans.

Management believes that present levels of liquid assets are sufficient to meet
anticipated future loan commitments as well as deposit withdrawal demands.

Total stockholders' equity equaled $17.2 million at March 31, 2001, an increase
of $1.0 million from the $16.2 million reported at September 30, 2000. The
increase was primarily the result of an $814,000 increase in accumulated other
comprehensive income as market values on the Company's available-for-sale
securities increased in a declining rate environment. In addition, retained
earnings increased by $224,000, the $340,000 in net income less the cash
dividends paid during the six months ended March 31, 2001.

As of March 31, 2001, the Company's reported book value per share, using total
stockholders' equity of $17.2 million (net of the cost of unearned ESOP shares)
and 1,162,320 outstanding shares of common stock (the total issued shares
including unearned ESOP shares, less treasury shares), equaled $14.84 per share.

Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company announced its
intention to pay a cash dividend of $.05 per share on May 23, 2001, to
stockholders of record at May 9, 2001.

Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA"), Congress imposed capital requirements for thrift institutions. At
March 31, 2001, the Association's actual and required capital amounts under the
requirements were as follows:

- - Tier 1 Capital was $14.1 million or 6.99% of total assets, exceeding the
minimum requirement of 4.0% by $6.0 million.

- - Tier 1 Risk Based Capital was $14.1 million or 14.68% of total risk weighted
assets, exceeding the minimum requirement of 4.0% by $10.2 million.

- - Total Risk-Based Capital equaled $14.9 million of 15.52% of risk weighted
assets, exceeding the minimum requirement of 8.0% of total risk weighted assets
by $7.2 million.

At March 31, 2001, the Association was considered a "well capitalized"
institution under the prompt corrective action requirements of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.
