                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements





This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of
1995, and is including this statement for the express purpose of availing itself
of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on
certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of
the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect,"
"intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions. The
Company'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 Company's future activities and operating results include, but are
not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions,
legislation, regulation, U.S. monetary and fiscal policies, the quality or
composition of the Company's loan and investment portfolios, deposit flows,
competition, demand for products and services and accounting policies,
principles and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in
evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed
on such statements.

General

First Federal Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") was organized under Delaware law
in December 1998 by First Federal Bank (the "Bank") to be the savings and loan
holding company of the Bank in connection with the Bank's April 13, 1999
conversion from mutual holding company form to the stock form of ownership (the
"Conversion"). The Company's principal activity consists of ownership of all of
the stock in the Bank. The net income of the Company is primarily derived from
the operations of the Bank. In addition to the Bank, the Company owns Equity
Services, Inc., a real estate development company and Mid-Iowa Security
Corporation, which generates revenues primarily by providing real estate
brokerage services. The Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank
headquartered in Sioux City, Iowa. The Bank is the successor of First Federal
Savings and Loan Association of Sioux City, which was founded in 1923. The
Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on its net interest
income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on
loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities and interest expense
paid on deposits and borrowings. The Company's net income also is affected by
its provision for loan losses, as well as the amount of noninterest income,
including loan fees and service charges, and noninterest expense, such as
salaries and employee benefits, deposit insurance premiums, occupancy and
equipment costs and income taxes. Earnings of the Company also are affected
significantly by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly
changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory
authorities.

Business Strategy

The Company's current business strategy is to operate as a well-capitalized,
profitable and independent community savings bank dedicated to providing quality
banking services to its customers. The Company has sought to implement this
strategy in recent years by: (1) closely monitoring the needs of customers; (2)
emphasizing family financial services such as residential mortgage loans,
consumer loans and various checking and savings products; (3) offering
commercial real estate loans and small business lending services; (4)
monitoring, with the intention of reducing, interest rate risk exposure; (5)
controlling operating expenses; and (6) maintaining strong asset quality.

Financial Condition

Total assets decreased by $9.4 million, or 1.4%, to $650.8 million at June 30,
2002 from $660.1 million at June 30, 2001. Cash and cash equivalents decreased
by $54.7 million, or 70.2%, to $23.2 million at June 30, 2002 from $78.9 million
at June 30, 2001 as the Company used funds from interest-bearing deposits in
other financial institutions to purchase relatively higher-yielding investment
securities and other assets. The Company purchased $52.0 million and $83.0
million, respectively, of securities held-to-maturity and securities
available-for-sale during fiscal 2002. The balance of securities
held-to-maturity increased by $40.6 million, or 178.5%, to $63.3 million at June
30, 2002 from $22.7 million at June 30, 2001. The balance of securities
available-for-sale increased by $4.7 million, or 5.4%, to $92.3 million at June
30, 2002 from $87.6 million at June 30, 2001 as proceeds from sales, calls and
maturities largely offset purchases during the fiscal year. The Company
purchased bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") in the amount of $7.0 million in
November and December 2001. Largely due to the BOLI purchase, other assets
increased by $6.4 million, or 93.1%, to $13.3 million at June 30, 2002 from $6.9
million at June 30, 2001. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock decreased by
$4.4 million, or 46.8%, to $5.0 at June 30, 2002 from $9.5 million at June 30,
2001 after the FHLB redeemed excess member stock during fiscal 2002.

Deposit balances decreased by $16.1 million, or 3.3%, to $472.6 million at June
30, 2002 from $488.7 million at June 30, 2001 and accrued interest payable
decreased by $2.0 million, or 35.9%, to $3.6 million at June 30, 2002 from $5.7
million at June 30, 2001 due to a decrease in the balance of certificates of
deposit and in the average cost of deposits and borrowings in fiscal 2002 as
compared to fiscal 2001. Partly offsetting the decrease in deposit balances was
an increase in FHLB advances. The balance of advances from FHLB increased by
$9.9 million, or 11.2%, to $99.1 million at June 30, 2002 from $89.1 million at
June 30, 2001.

                                       6




Stockholders' equity decreased by $1.3 million, or 1.8%, to $71.3 million at
June 30, 2002 from $72.6 million at June 30, 2001. The decrease in stockholders'
equity was largely due to a stock repurchase program under which 366,000 shares
of Company common stock were repurchased during fiscal 2002 at a cost of $4.8
million, or $13.00 per share. In August 2002 the Company completed this stock
repurchase program pursuant to which a total of 460,000 shares were repurchased
and announced a new stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company
intends to repurchase up to 10% of its issued and outstanding shares, or up to
426,000 shares. Partially offsetting the decrease in stockholders' equity due to
stock repurchases were earnings of $3.5 million and an increase of $834,000 in
other comprehensive income. The increase in other comprehensive income was the
result of an unrealized gain in the Company's available-for-sale portfolio that
totaled $490,000 at June 30, 2002 as compared to an unrealized loss of $344,000
in that portfolio at June 30, 2001. Higher valuations for the available-for-sale
portfolio occurred as market interest rates dropped after five Federal Reserve
Board rate-cutting decisions between June 2001 and June 2002. Dividends declared
during the year ended June 30, 2002 totaled $1.3 million excluding dividends
paid on unallocated Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") shares.

Comparison of Operating Results for Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001

General. Net earnings totaled $3.5 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the
year ended June 30, 2002 as compared to net earnings totaling $3.0 million, or
$0.67 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2001. The Company early
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets on July 1, 2001. As required by the Statement,
amortization of goodwill was discontinued in fiscal 2002.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $10.6 million, or 20.9%, to $40.0
million in fiscal 2002 from $50.6 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease in
interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the balance of
interest-earning assets. The average balance of interest-earning assets
decreased by $73.6 million, or 11.3%, to $579.0 million in fiscal 2002 from
$652.6 million in fiscal 2001. In addition, the average yield on
interest-earning assets decreased by 84 basis points to 6.91% for fiscal 2002
from 7.75% for fiscal 2001 due to lower yields on interest-earning assets in the
generally lower market interest rate environment and to changes in the mix of
interest-earning assets.

Interest income on loans receivable decreased by $6.8 million, or 17.1%, to
$32.8 million for fiscal 2002 from $39.6 million for fiscal 2001. The decrease
in interest income on loans receivable was primarily due to a decrease of $62.1
million, or 12.8%, in the average balance of loans receivable to $422.8 million
for fiscal 2002 from $484.9 million for fiscal 2001. The decrease in the average
balance of loans receivable for fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 was
largely due to a reduction in the Company's one-to-four family fixed-rate
residential loan portfolio that resulted from the securitization and sale of
$112.7 million of such loans in March 2001. The average yield on loans
receivable decreased by 40 basis points to 7.76% for fiscal 2002 from 8.16% for
fiscal 2001, which also contributed to the decrease in interest income on loans
receivable.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") decreased by $106,000, or
4.0%, to $2.6 million in fiscal 2002 from $2.7 million in fiscal 2001. The
decrease in interest income on MBS was primarily due to a decrease in the
average yield on MBS. The average yield on MBS decreased by 136 basis points to
5.57% in fiscal 2002 from 6.93% in fiscal 2001. The decrease in the average
yield on MBS was primarily due to purchases of MBS yielding relatively lower
rates during fiscal 2002. In addition, adjustable-rate MBS repriced at lower
rates in the generally lower market interest rate environment during fiscal
2002. Partly offsetting the decrease in yield on MBS was an increase in the
average balance of those securities. The average balance of MBS increased by
$7.5 million, or 19.5%, to $46.2 million for fiscal 2002 from $38.7 million for
fiscal 2001.

Interest income on investment securities decreased by $4.0 million, or 50.1%, to
$4.0 million for fiscal 2002 from $7.9 million for fiscal 2001. The decrease in
interest income on investment securities was primarily

                                       7



due to a  decrease  of $36.7  million,  or  30.7%,  in the  average  balance  of
investment  securities  to $83.0  million in fiscal 2002 from $119.7  million in
fiscal 2001. In addition,  the average yield on investment  securities decreased
by 185 basis points to 4.77% for fiscal 2002 from 6.62% for fiscal 2001.

Interest income on other interest-earning assets increased by $292,000, or
72.4%, to $695,000 for fiscal 2002 from $403,000 for fiscal 2001 due to an
increase in the average balance of such assets. The average balance of other
interest-earning assets increased by $17.7 million, or 189.7%, to $27.0 million
for fiscal 2002 from $9.3 million for fiscal 2001 due to increased liquidity in
fiscal 2002. Partly offsetting the increases in the average balance of other
interest-earning assets was a decrease in the average yield. The average yield
on other interest-earning assets decreased by 175 basis points to 2.58% in
fiscal 2002 from 4.33% in fiscal 2001 in the generally lower market interest
rate environment in the current fiscal year period.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $9.3 million, or 28.9%, to $22.9
million in fiscal 2002 from $32.3 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease in
interest expense was due to a decrease of 111 basis points in the average cost
of interest-bearing liabilities to 4.20% for fiscal 2002 from 5.31% for fiscal
2001 and to a decrease of $61.2 million in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities to $546.0 million for fiscal 2002 from $607.2
million for fiscal 2001. Interest expense on deposits decreased by $5.1 million,
or 22.3%, to $17.9 million in fiscal 2002 from $23.1 million in fiscal 2001. The
decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a decrease of 112
basis points in the average rate paid on deposits to 3.92% in fiscal 2002 from
5.04% in fiscal 2001. The average balance of deposits decreased by 0.1% to
$457.0 million for fiscal 2002 from $457.4 million for fiscal 2001. Interest
paid on borrowings decreased by $4.2 million, or 45.6%, to $5.0 million for
fiscal 2002 from $9.2 million for fiscal 2001. The average balance of borrowings
decreased by $60.8 million, or 40.6%, to $89.0 million in fiscal 2002 from
$149.8 million in fiscal 2001. The Company repaid short-term borrowings during
the final quarter of fiscal 2001 with proceeds from the securitization and sale
of residential mortgage loans and consequently the average balance of borrowings
during fiscal 2002 was lower than that balance in fiscal 2001. The average cost
of borrowings decreased by 51 basis points to 5.63% in fiscal 2002 from 6.14% in
fiscal 2001 as higher-rate fixed-term borrowings matured and were replaced with
lower-rate borrowings in the generally lower market interest rate environment
during fiscal 2002.


Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses
decreased by $1.2 million, or 6.7%, to $17.1 million for fiscal 2002 from $18.3
million for fiscal 2001. The Company's interest rate spread increased by 27
basis points to 2.71% for fiscal 2002 from 2.44% for fiscal 2001 and the net
yield on interest-earning assets increased by 14 basis points to 2.95% for
fiscal 2002 from 2.81% for fiscal 2001. The increase in the interest rate spread
and net yield on interest-earning assets was more than offset by the decrease in
the volume of interest-earning assets during fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal
2001.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan loss expense decreased by $1.3
million, or 25.6%, to $3.8 million for fiscal 2002 from $5.2 million for fiscal
2001. Provision for loan loss expense in fiscal 2002 was largely due to a $2.2
million charge-off of loans to a local commercial and industrial borrower.
Provision for loan loss expense in fiscal 2001 was largely due to a $3.5 million
charge-off of loans to a local borrower in a high technology industry. In
addition, provision for loan loss expense increased in fiscal 2002 and 2001 in
comparison with prior fiscal years due to increased growth in commercial real
estate and business loan balances and in consumer loan balances, which generally
involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage
loans. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding were 0.94%
and 0.79%, respectively, for fiscal years 2002 and 2001. The Company has
established a systematic method of reviewing the credit quality of the loan
portfolio in order to establish a sufficient allowance for losses on loans. The
allowance for losses on loans is based on management's current judgments about
the credit quality of individual loans and segments of the loan portfolio. In
evaluating the portfolio, management takes into consideration numerous factors,
including current economic conditions, prior loan loss experience, the
composition of the loan portfolio, and known and inherent losses that are both
probable and reasonably estimable.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by

                                       8



$619,000, or 7.4%, to $9.0 million for fiscal 2002 from $8.4 million for fiscal
2001. The increase in noninterest income was partly due to a pretax gain of
$456,000 on the sale of a northwest Iowa branch office in July 2001 to a local
financial institution. The purchaser assumed deposits of $8.9 million and
acquired loans totaling $2.8 million in addition to the branch building and
certain fixtures. The gain on the sale of the branch deposits, loans and
building and fixtures totaled $165,000, $44,000 and $247,000, respectively. The
increase in noninterest income was also due to an increase of $1.1 million, or
31.1%, in income from fees and service charges to $4.8 million for fiscal 2002
from $3.7 million for fiscal 2001. The increase in fees and service charges
resulted from an increase in loan origination activity in the generally lower
market interest rate environment and from increases in service fees on deposit
accounts. The increase in loan origination activity in the favorable rate
environment for borrowers during fiscal 2002 also contributed to increases in
gain on sale of loans and other real estate-related activities. Gain on sale of
loans held for sale, including the sale of the branch office loans mentioned
earlier, increased by $201,000, or 57.4%, to $552,000 for fiscal 2002 from
$351,000 for fiscal 2001 and income from other real estate-related activities
increased by $247,000, or 20.5%, to $1.5 million for fiscal 2002 from $1.2
million for fiscal 2001. Income from other real estate-related activities
consists primarily of real estate sales commissions and fees for abstracting
services generated by subsidiaries of the Company. Increases in all categories
of noninterest income, other than gain on sale of securities, more than offset a
much lower gain on sale of securities in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001.
In fiscal 2002 the Company recorded a net gain on sale of securities that
totaled $103,000 as compared to a net gain on sale of securities that totaled
$1.6 million in fiscal 2001. The fiscal 2001 gain was primarily due to a $1.7
million gain realized on the sale of $112.7 million of the Company's residential
fixed-rate mortgage loans securitized in March 2001.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $269,000, or 1.6%, to
$17.1 million in fiscal 2002 from $16.8 million in fiscal 2001. The principal
component of the Company's noninterest expense is salaries and employee
benefits. Compensation and benefit expense increased by $795,000, or 9.2%, to
$9.4 million in fiscal 2002 from $8.6 million in fiscal 2001. The increase in
compensation and benefits expense was largely due to the cost of discontinuing
the Company's self-insured health insurance plan that totaled approximately
$395,000 during fiscal 2002 and to annual salary increases. Office property and
equipment expense and advertising expense increased by $125,000, or 5.2%, and by
$33,000, or 9.3%, respectively, in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001.
Partly offsetting the increases in noninterest expense for fiscal 2002 as
compared to fiscal 2001, were decreases in other noninterest expense categories.
Due to the Company's early adoption of SFAS No.142, amortization of goodwill was
discontinued in fiscal 2002. Amortization of goodwill expense totaled $844,000
in fiscal 2001. Data processing expense decreased by $150,000, or 30.6%, to
$340,000 for fiscal 2002 from $490,000 for fiscal 2001 largely due to a decrease
in software amortization expense. Other general and administrative expense
increased by $317,000, or 8.0%, to $4.3 million for fiscal 2002 from $4.0
million for fiscal 2001. The increase in other expense during fiscal 2002 was
partly due to the cost of handling the higher loan origination volume, to higher
costs of recruiting new staff members and to increased costs related to an
increase in the volume of transaction accounts. Transaction accounts generally
involve a higher cost to the Company than certificates of deposit due to the
ability of the account holder to withdraw funds by check, automated teller
machine and debit card, over the counter transactions and other means. Losses
due to fraud, forgery and overdrawn accounts add to the Company's cost of
maintaining transaction accounts.

Income tax expense. Net earnings before income taxes increased by $436,000, or
9.1%, to $5.2 million for fiscal 2002 from $4.8 million for fiscal 2001. Income
tax expense decreased by $68,000, or 3.9%, to $1.7 million for fiscal 2002 from
$1.8 million for fiscal 2001. The Company's effective tax rate decreased to
32.6% for fiscal 2002 from 37.0% for fiscal 2001. The lower effective tax rate
for fiscal 2002 resulted from an increase in tax-exempt investments such as
municipal bonds and BOLI. In addition, non-deductible goodwill amortization in
fiscal 2001 resulted in a higher effective tax rate when compared to fiscal 2002
in which no goodwill expense was recorded.

Comparison of Operating Results for Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000

General. Net earnings totaled $3.0 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, for
fiscal 2001 as compared to net earnings totaling $4.9 million, or $1.07 per
diluted share, for fiscal 2000.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $2.6 million, or 5.4%, to $50.6
million in fiscal 2001 from $48.0 million in fiscal 2000. The increase in
interest income was primarily due to an increase of 33 basis points in the
average yield on interest-earning assets to 7.75% in fiscal 2001 from 7.42% in
fiscal 2000. In addition, the average balance of interest-earning assets
increased by $5.8 million, or 0.9%, to $652.6 million in fiscal 2001 from $646.8
million in fiscal 2000. The increase in interest income resulted primarily from
an increase totaling $2.4 million, or 6.5%, in interest income earned on loans
to $39.6 million in fiscal 2001 from $37.2 million in fiscal 2000. Interest
income on MBS increased by $443,000, or 19.8%, to $2.7 million in fiscal 2001
from $2.2 million in fiscal 2000. During the same period, interest income on
investment securities decreased by $517,000, or 6.1%, to $7.9 million from $8.4
million and interest income on other interest-earning assets increased by
$252,000, or 166.9%, when compared to fiscal 2000.

The increase in interest income on loans was largely due to an increase in the
average yield on loans receivable. The average yield on loans receivable
increased by 43 basis points to 8.16% for fiscal 2001 from 7.73% for fiscal
2000. The increase in the average yield on loans was largely due to the
Company's strategy of increasing its portfolio of commercial real estate,
commercial business and consumer loans that generally have higher interest rates
than one-to-four family residential mortgages. Also contributing to the increase
in yield on loans receivable was the securitization and sale of $112.7 million
of single-family long-term fixed-rate loans in March 2001. Prepayments and
refinancing activity generally increased as mortgage market rates stabilized in
fiscal 2001 at historically attractive rates. The Company's one-to-four family
residential loan balances decreased further as borrowers refinanced and a
majority of the new fixed-rate originations were sold in the secondary market
rather than held in the Company's loan portfolio.


The increase in interest income on MBS was primarily due to an increase of $4.1
million, or 12.0%, in the average balance of MBS to $38.7 million at June 30,
2001 from $34.5 million at June 30, 2000. In addition, the average yield on MBS
increased by 46 basis points to 6.93% in fiscal 2001 from 6.47% in fiscal 2000.
The increase in the average balance and in the yield on MBS was primarily due to
the fact that the $112.7 million in single-family loans securitized in March
2001 were carried as MBS until sales were completed in the final four months of
fiscal 2001. The decrease in interest income on investment securities was
primarily due to a decrease of $9.4 million, or 7.3%, in the average balance of
investment securities to $119.7 million in fiscal 2001 from $129.1 million in
fiscal 2000. The yield on investment securities increased slightly to 6.62% in
fiscal 2001 from 6.54% in fiscal 2000.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $2.5 million, or 8.2%, to $32.3
million in fiscal 2001 from $29.8 million in fiscal 2000. The increase in
interest expense was primarily due to an increase of 39 basis points in the
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 5.31% in fiscal 2001 from 4.92%
in fiscal 2000. Interest expense on deposits increased by $2.5 million, or
12.4%, to $23.0 million in fiscal 2001 from $20.5 million in fiscal 2000. The
increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to an increase of 48
basis points in the average rate paid on deposits to 5.04% in fiscal 2001 from
4.56% in fiscal 2000. The average balance of deposits increased by $7.2 million,
or 1.6%, to $457.4 million for fiscal 2001 from $450.3 million for fiscal 2000.
Interest paid on borrowings totaled $9.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively,
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. The average balance of
borrowings decreased by $6.5 million, or 4.2%, to $149.8 million in fiscal 2001
from $156.3 million in fiscal 2000. The decrease in interest expense on
borrowings due to the decrease in the average balance of borrowings was largely
offset by an increase of 19 basis points in the average rate paid on borrowings
to 6.14% in fiscal 2001 from 5.95% in fiscal 2000.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses
increased by $148,000, or 0.8%, to $18.3 million for fiscal 2001 from $18.2
million for fiscal 2000. The Company's interest rate spread was 2.44% and 2.50%,
respectively, and the

                                       10




net yield on interest-earning assets was 2.81% for both fiscal 2001 and 2000.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan loss expense totaled $5.2 million
for fiscal 2001 as compared to $554,000 for fiscal 2000. Provision for loan
losses was increased due to increased growth in commercial real estate and
business loan balances and in consumer loan balances, which generally involve a
greater degree of risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans; and,
due to a $3.5 million charge-off related to a large commercial credit. Net
charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding were 0.79% and 0.06%,
respectively, for fiscal years 2001 and 2000.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by $1.9 million, or 29.2%, to
$8.4 million for fiscal 2001 from $6.5 million for fiscal 2000. The increase in
noninterest income was primarily due to a net pre-tax gain on the sale of
securities that totaled $1.6 million for fiscal 2001 as compared to a net
pre-tax loss totaling $170,000 for fiscal 2000. The gain on sale of securities
was primarily due to gains realized on the sale of the $112.7 million of
mortgage loans securitized in March 2001, which totaled $1.7 million. Service
charges and other fees increased by $780,000, or 26.9%, to $3.7 million for the
year ended June 30, 2001 from $2.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2000. The
increase in service charges and other fees resulted from increased service fees
from the Company's growing business and personal deposit account relationships
and to increases in loan-related fees due to stronger mortgage origination
activity during fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000. Gain on sale of loans
held for sale increased by $171,000, or 94.6%, to $351,000 for fiscal 2001 from
$180,000 for fiscal 2000 due to increases in residential loan originations.
Partially offsetting the increases in noninterest income for fiscal 2001 when
compared to fiscal 2000 was a decrease in gain on the sale of real estate owned
and held for development of $310,000, or 51.5%, to $292,000 for fiscal 2001 from
$602,000 for fiscal 2000. In addition, income from other real estate-related
activities decreased by $258,000, or 17.6%, to $1.2 million for fiscal 2001 from
$1.5 million for fiscal 2000. The decrease in real estate-related income was
primarily due to a decrease in real estate sales commissions from the Company's
real estate brokerage subsidiary. Other income decreased by $127,000, or 8.9%,
to $1.3 million for fiscal 2001 from $1.4 million for fiscal 2000, largely due
to decreased revenues in the Company's non-bank subsidiaries.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $193,000, or 1.2%, to
$16.8 million in fiscal 2001 from $16.6 million in fiscal 2000. The principal
component of the Company's noninterest expense is salaries and employee
benefits. Compensation and benefit expense decreased by $387,000, or 4.3%, to
$8.6 million in fiscal 2001 from $9.0 million in fiscal 2000 primarily due to a
reduction of 11 full-time-equivalent employees for fiscal 2001 as compared to
fiscal 2000. Deposit insurance premium expense decreased by $94,000, or 49.6%,
to $95,000 in fiscal 2001 from $189,000 in fiscal 2000. The deposit insurance
premium rate decreased to $0.01985 per hundred dollars of deposits for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2001 from $0.0398 per hundred dollars of deposits
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000. Advertising expense decreased by
$119,000, or 25.1%, in fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000. More than
offsetting the decreases in noninterest expense for fiscal 2001 as compared to
fiscal 2000, were increases in other noninterest expenses categories. Office
property and equipment expense and data processing expense increased by
$137,000, or 6.0%, and $46,000, or 10.3%, respectively, over the prior fiscal
year period. Other general and administrative expense increased by $610,000, or
18.1%, to $4.0 million for fiscal 2001 from $3.4 million for fiscal 2000,
largely due to increases in professional and consulting fees related to
strategic planning and to increases in contributions and Delaware franchise tax
expense.

Income tax expense. Net earnings before income taxes decreased by $2.7 million,
or 36.5%, to $4.8 million for fiscal 2001 from $7.5 million for fiscal 2000.
Income tax expense decreased by $877,000, or 33.2%, to $1.8 million for fiscal
2001 from $2.6 million for fiscal 2000. The Company's effective tax rate
increased to 37.0% for fiscal 2001 from 35.1% for fiscal 2000.

Asset and Liability Management - Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent
to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by
monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or
liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if
it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity
gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets
maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period. A
gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets
exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered
negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the
amount of interest rate sensitive assets. Interest rate sensitivity is based on
numerous assumptions, such as prepayment estimates, which are revised annually
to reflect the anticipated interest rate environment.
During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely
affect net interest income while a positive gap would tend to positively affect
net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates a negative gap
would tend to positively affect net interest income while a positive gap would
tend to negatively affect net interest income.

The Company has utilized the following strategies in recent years in an effort
to reduce interest rate risk: (a) the Company seeks to originate and hold in
portfolio adjustable rate loans which have annual interest rate adjustments; (b)
the Company seeks to originate shorter-term commercial and consumer loans; (c)
the Company seeks to lengthen the maturity of deposits, when cost effective,
through the pricing and promotion of certificates of deposit; (d) the Company
seeks to attract checking and other transaction accounts which generally have a
lower interest cost and which tend to be less interest rate sensitive when
interest rates rise; and (e) the Company has used long term Federal Home Loan
Bank advances to fund the origination of fixed rate loans. The Company does not
solicit negotiated high-rate jumbo certificates of deposit or brokered deposits,
which are extremely rate sensitive.

At June 30, 2002, total interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one
year exceeded total interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing in the
same period by $42.8 million, representing a cumulative positive one-year gap
ratio of 1.16, or 6.6% if expressed as a percentage of total assets. The Company
has an asset/liability committee (the "ALCO"), which includes the Company's
president and senior Company officers. The ALCO meets weekly to review loan and
deposit pricing and production volumes, interest rate risk analysis, liquidity
and borrowing needs, and other asset and liability management topics. The ALCO
reports quarterly to the Board of Directors on interest rate risk and trends, as
well as liquidity and capital ratios and requirements.

Market Risk Management

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market prices
and rates. The Company's market risk is comprised primarily of interest rate
risk resulting from its core banking activities of lending and deposit taking.
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates might
adversely affect the Company's net interest income or the economic value of its
portfolio of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. Management
continually develops and applies strategies to mitigate this risk. Management
does not believe that the Company's primary market risk exposures and how those
exposures were managed in fiscal 2002 have changed significantly when compared
to fiscal 2001. The net portfolio value of the Company, assuming no change in
interest rates (the "Base Case Scenario"), was $64.4 million and $64.2 million,
respectively, at June 30, 2002 and 2001. The net portfolio value ratio in the
Base Case Scenario was 9.86% and 9.75%, respectively, at June 30, 2002 and 2001.
The Board of Directors has established market risk limits based on the Company's
tolerance for risk. At June 30, 2002, the net portfolio value ratio was inside
the board limits in all measured rate-change scenarios. The Company primarily
relies on the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") Net Portfolio Value Model
(the "Model") to measure its susceptibility to interest rate changes. Net
portfolio value ("NPV") is defined

                                       12



as the present value of expected net cash flows from existing assets minus the
present value of expected net cash flows from existing liabilities plus or minus
the present value of net expected cash flows from existing off-balance-sheet
contracts. The Model estimates the current economic value of each type of asset,
liability, and off-balance sheet contract after various assumed instantaneous,
parallel shifts in the Treasury yield curve both upward and downward.

The Model uses an option-based pricing approach to value one-to-four family
mortgages, mortgages serviced by or for others, and firm commitments to buy,
sell, or originate mortgages. This approach makes use of an interest rate
simulation program to generate numerous random interest rate paths that, in
conjunction with a prepayment model, are used to estimate mortgage cash flows.
Prepayment options and interest rate caps and floors contained in mortgages and
mortgage-related securities introduce significant uncertainty in estimating the
timing of cash flows for these instruments that warrants the use of this
sophisticated methodology. All other financial instruments are valued using a
static discounted cash flow method. Under this approach, the present value is
determined by discounting the cash flows the instrument is expected to generate
by the yields currently available to investors from an instrument of comparable
risk and duration.

The following table sets forth the present value estimates for major categories
of financial instruments of the Company at June 30, 2002, as calculated by the
Model. The table shows the present value of the instruments under rate shock
scenarios of -100 basis points to +300 basis points in increments of 100 basis
points. The OTS suppressed NPV estimates for interest rate scenarios of -300
basis points and -200 basis points beginning with the September 2001 and
December 2001 cycles, respectively, due to the abnormally low market interest
rate environment. Therefore, no data is presented in the table for those rate
shock scenarios. As illustrated in the table, the Company's NPV decreases in a
rising rate scenario and increases in the falling rate scenario. As market rates
increase, the market values of the Company's portfolio of loans and securities
decrease and prepayments slow. As interest rates decrease, the market values of
loans and securities increase, but less dramatically than in the rising rate
scenarios, due to prepayment risk, periodic rate caps, and other embedded
options.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is required by OTS regulation to maintain sufficient liquidity to
assure its safe and sound operation. The Company historically has maintained a
level of liquid assets in excess of regulatory requirements. The Company's
liquidity ratio averaged 31.6% during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The
Company adjusts its liquidity levels in order to meet funding needs for deposit
outflows, payment of real estate taxes from escrowed funds, when applicable, and
loan commitments. The Company also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet its
asset/liability objectives.

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment
of loans and mortgage-backed securities, FHLB advances, maturities of investment
securities and other short-term investments, and funds provided from operations.
While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments are a relatively
predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The
Company manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit
balance. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in interest-bearing
deposits in other financial institutions, investment securities and other
short-term interest-earning assets that provide liquidity to meet lending
requirements. Investments and other assets qualifying for liquidity, outstanding
at June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, totaled $156.8 million, $172.4 million, and
$142.7 million, respectively.

Deposits are the Company's primary source of externally generated funds. The
level of deposit inflows during any given period is heavily influenced by
factors outside of management's control, such as the general level of short-term
and long-term interest rates in the economy, as well as higher alternative
yields that investors may obtain on competing investment instruments such as
money market mutual funds. The Company's net deposits before interest credited
decreased by $26.7 million in fiscal 2002 partly due to the sale of a northwest
Iowa branch office in July 2001. Deposits transferred on the sale of that office
totaled $8.9 million. The Company's net deposits before interest credited
decreased by $7.1 million during fiscal 2001 and increased by $12.6 million in
fiscal 2000. Similarly, the general level of market interest rates heavily
influences the amount of principal repayments on loans and mortgage securities.
Principal repayments on loans during fiscal 2002 totaled $219.7 million as
compared to $177.9 million in fiscal 2001 and $156.9 million in fiscal 2000.
Funds received from principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities for
fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, totaled $9.9 million, $7.1 million and $8.4 million,
respectively. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of
business management. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to
generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB, which
provide an additional source of funds. At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company
had $99.1 million and $89.1 million, respectively, in outstanding advances from
the FHLB.

At June 30, 2002, the Company had outstanding loan commitments and consumer and
commercial approved, but unused, lines of credit totaling $48.9 million.
Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature or reprice in one year or less at
June 30, 2002 totaled $175.6 million. Management believes that a significant
portion of such deposits will remain with the Company.


Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position
and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the
change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation.
The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's
operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and
liabilities of the Company are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a
greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of general
levels of inflation.

Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same
extent as the price of goods and services.


Effect of New Accounting Standards

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, as well as all purchase
method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also
specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business
combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, noting
that any purchase price allocable to an assembled workforce may not be accounted
for separately. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead evaluated for
impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.
SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be
amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated
residual values, and reviewed for impairment.

The Company was required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 141 immediately.
The Company elected to early adopt SFAS No. 142 as of
July 1, 2002.

In connection with SFAS No. 142's transitional goodwill impairment evaluation,
the Company performed an assessment of whether there was an indication that
goodwill was impaired as of the date of adoption. There was no impairment
indicated.

As of the date of adoption, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount
of $18.5 million and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in the amount of
$419,000. Amortization expense related to goodwill was $844,000 for the year
ended June 30, 2001. Amortization expense related to identifiable intangible
assets was $86,000 and $110,000, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2002
and 2001.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record the fair value of an
asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a
legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets
that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of
assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is depreciated over
the life of the asset. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not expect this statement
to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In August, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 and the
accounting and reporting provision of APB Opinion No. 30 for the disposal of a
segment of a business. SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting
for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and requires that long-lived
assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash
flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 144 requires
companies to separately report discontinued operations and extends that
reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale,
abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale.
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or
fair value less costs to sell. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 144 for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of this Statement
is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.

SFAS No. 145 Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections was issued April 2002. This
Statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of
Debt, and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64,


                                       15



Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. This
Statement also rescinds SFAS No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor
Carriers. This Statement amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate
an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions
and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic
effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also
amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical
corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed
conditions.

The provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of Statement 4 shall
be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions in
paragraphs 8 and 9(c) of this Statement related to Statement 13 shall be
effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The effects of
implementation are not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.

SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
was issued June 2002. This Statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring.)

The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit and disposal activities
that are initiated after December 31, 2002.


Critical Accounting Policy

The Company's critical accounting policy relates to the allowance for losses on
loans. The Company has established a systematic method of periodically reviewing
the credit quality of the loan portfolio in order to establish a sufficient
allowance for losses on loans. The allowance for losses on loans is based on
management's current judgments about the credit quality of individual loans and
segments of the loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans is established
through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk
inherent in the loan portfolio, and considers all known internal and external
factors that affect loan collectibility as of the reporting date. Such
evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility
may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net
realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic
conditions, historical loan loss experience, management's knowledge of inherent
risks in the portfolio that are probable and reasonably estimable and other
factors that warrant recognition in providing an appropriate loan loss
allowance.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
First Federal Bankshares, Inc.
   and Subsidiaries
Sioux City, Iowa:


We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of First Federal
Bankshares,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  (the Company) as of June 30, 2002 and 2001,
and the related consolidated statements of operations,  stockholders' equity and
comprehensive  income,  and cash  flows for each of the years in the  three-year
period ended June 30, 2002.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of First  Federal
Bankshares,  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  as of June  30,  2002  and  2001,  and the
consolidated  results of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the
years  in the  three-year  period  ended  June  30,  2002,  in  conformity  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

                 FIRST FEDERAL BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                             June 30, 2002 and 2001


(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

     Organization

     First Federal  Bankshares,  Inc.  (the Company) is the holding  company for
     First  Federal Bank (the Bank).  The Company owns 100% of the Bank's common
     stock.  Currently,  the Company engages in no other significant  activities
     beyond its  ownership of the Bank's  common  stock.  Consequently,  its net
     income is  derived  primarily  from the Bank.  The Bank is  organized  as a
     federally  chartered  stock savings bank engaging in retail and  commercial
     banking  and  related  financial  services,  primarily  in the  Sioux  City
     metropolitan area; adjacent counties, including parts of Nebraska and South
     Dakota;  and in central Iowa.  The Bank provides  traditional  products and
     services  of  banking,  such  as  deposits  and  mortgage,   consumer,  and
     commercial loans.

     Principles of Presentation

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     First  Federal  Bankshares,  Inc.,  its wholly owned  subsidiaries,  a real
     estate brokerage company, a real estate development  company,  and the Bank
     and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries. In consolidation, all significant
     intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  accounting
     principles  generally  accepted  in the United  States of America  requires
     management  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the  reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and
     liabilities  at the  date of the  financial  statements  and  the  reported
     amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during the  reporting  period.  Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For purposes of reporting  cash flows,  the Company  includes  cash and due
     from  other  financial  institutions  and  interest-bearing  deposits  with
     original maturities of three months or less in cash and cash equivalents.

     Earnings Per Share

     Basic  earnings per share  computations  for the years ended June 30, 2002,
     2001,   and  2000  were   determined   by  dividing  net  earnings  by  the
     weighted-average  number of common shares outstanding during the years then
     ended.  Diluted net  earnings  per common  share  amounts  are  computed by
     dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and all
     dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year.

                                                                     (Continued)

     Securities

     Securities which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to
     maturity are classified as held-to-maturity. Such securities are carried at
     cost, adjusted for unamortized  premiums and unearned  discounts.  Premiums
     are amortized and discounts are accreted using the interest method over the
     remaining  period  to  contractual  maturity,   adjusted  in  the  case  of
     mortgage-backed securities for actual prepayments. Original issue discounts
     on short-term  securities are accreted as accrued interest  receivable over
     the lives of such securities.

     Securities classified as  available-for-sale  are carried at estimated fair
     value.  Unrealized  gains and losses on such  securities  are reported as a
     separate component of stockholders' equity, net of deferred taxes. Realized
     gains and  losses  from the sale of  securities  are  recognized  using the
     specific identification method.

     Unrealized  losses on  securities  judged to be other  than  temporary  are
     charged to operations.

     Loans Receivable

     Loans  receivable  are  stated  at  unpaid  principal   balances  less  the
     allowances  for loan losses and net of deferred loan  origination  fees and
     discounts.  Discounts on first mortgage loans are amortized to income using
     the interest  method over the  remaining  period to  contractual  maturity,
     adjusted for anticipated prepayments.

     Allowances for Losses on Loans and Real Estate

     The  allowance  for  losses  on  loans is  based  on  management's  current
     judgments about the credit quality of individual  loans and segments of the
     loan portfolio.  The allowance for losses on loans is established through a
     provision  for loan losses  based on  management's  evaluation  of the risk
     inherent  in the loan  portfolio,  and  considers  all known  internal  and
     external factors that affect loan  collectibility as of the reporting date.
     Such  evaluation,  which  includes  a review  of all  loans  on which  full
     collectibility  may  not  be

                                       24





                      FIRST FEDERAL BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                             June 30, 2002 and 2001


     reasonably  assured,  considers  among other  matters,  the  estimated  net
     realizable value or the fair value of the underlying  collateral,  economic
     conditions,  historical  loan loss  experience,  management's  knowledge of
     inherent risks in the portfolio that are probable and reasonably  estimable
     and other factors that warrant recognition in providing an appropriate loan
     loss allowance.

     Under the Company's credit policies,  loans with interest more than 90 days
     in arrears and restructured loans are generally  considered impaired loans.
     Loan  impairment is measured based on the present value of expected  future
     cash flows discounted at the loan's effective  interest rate,  except where
     more  practical,  at the  observable  market  price of the loan or the fair
     value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

     Real  estate  acquired  is  carried at the lower of cost or fair value less
     estimated  costs  of  disposition.  When a  property  is  acquired  through
     foreclosure  or a loan is  considered  impaired,  any  excess  of the  loan
     balance  over fair value of the  property is charged to the  allowance  for
     losses  on  loans.  When  circumstances  indicate  additional  loss  on the
     property,  a direct  charge to the  provision  for losses on real estate is
     made, and the real estate is recorded net of such provision.

     Accrued  interest  receivable  in  arrears  which  management  believes  is
     doubtful of collection  (generally when a loan becomes 90 days  delinquent)
     is charged to income.  Subsequent interest income is not recognized on such
     loans until collected or until determined by management to be collectible.

     Financial Instruments with Off-balance Sheet Risk

     In the  normal  course  of  business  to meet  the  financing  needs of its
     customers, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance
     sheet risk,  which  include  commitments  to extend  credit.  The Company's
     exposure to credit loss in the event of  nonperformance  by the other party
     to the  commitments  to extend  credit is  represented  by the  contractual
     amount of those  instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in
     making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

     Commitments  to extend credit are  agreements to lend to a customer as long
     as there are no violations of any  conditions  established in the contract.
     Commitments  generally  have fixed  expiration  dates or other  termination
     clauses and may require  payment of a fee. Since certain of the commitments
     are  expected to expire  without  being drawn  upon,  the total  commitment
     amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company
     evaluates each customer's  creditworthiness  on a case-by-case  basis.  The
     amount of collateral  obtained,  if deemed  necessary by the Company,  upon
     extension  of  credit is based on  management's  credit  evaluation  of the
     counterparty.

     Unearned Loan Fees and Discounts

     Certain fees and direct expenses  incurred in the loan origination  process
     are deferred,  with  recognition  thereof over the contractual  life of the
     related  loan  as  a  yield   adjustment   using  the  interest  method  of
     amortization.  Any unamortized fees on loans sold are credited to income in
     the year such loans are sold.

     Premiums and discounts in  connection  with  mortgage  loans  purchased are
     amortized over the terms of the loans using the interest method.

     Office Property and Equipment

     Office  property and equipment are recorded at cost,  and  depreciation  is
     provided primarily on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives
     of the related assets, which range from 15 to 40 years for office buildings
     and from 3 to 10 years for furniture fixtures, automobiles, and equipment.

     Maintenance  and  repairs  are  charged  against  income.  Betterments  are
     capitalized  and  subsequently   depreciated.   The  cost  and  accumulated
     depreciation of properties  retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated
     from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts.  Related gain or loss
     from such transactions is credited or charged to income.

     Excess of Cost Over Fair Value of Assets Acquired

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
     142,  Goodwill and Other Intangible  Assets,  on July 1, 2001. Prior to the
     adoption,  the excess of cost over fair value of assets  acquired was being
     amortized on a  straight-line  basis over its  estimated  useful life of 25
     years. The asset was evaluated by management for impairment whenever events
     or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of the asset
     may not be  recoverable  based on facts and  circumstances  related  to the
     value of net  assets  acquired  that  gave  rise to the  asset.  After  the
     adoption  date,   Statement  142  requires  that  intangible   assets  with
     indefinite  useful lives no longer be amortized,  but instead evaluated for
     impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement
     142.

     Taxes on Income

     The Company files a consolidated Federal income tax return.  Federal income
     taxes  are  allocated  based on  taxable  income  or loss  included  on the
     consolidated return. For state tax purposes, the Bank files a franchise tax
     return,  while  the  Company,  its  other  subsidiaries,   and  the  Bank's
     subsidiaries file corporate income tax returns.

     The Company  utilizes the asset and  liability  method for taxes on income,
     and deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are recognized for the future tax
     consequences  attributable to differences  between the financial  statement
     carrying  amounts of existing assets and  liabilities and their  respective
     tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are measured using enacted
     tax rates  expected to apply to taxable  income in the years in which those
     temporary  differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect
     of a  change  in tax  rates on  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  is
     recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

     Stock Option Plan

     The Company  provides pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share
     disclosures  for material  employee stock option grants made as if the fair
     value-based method, which recognizes as expense over the vesting period the
     fair value of stock-based awards at the date of grant, had been applied.

     Reclassifications

     Certain amounts previously  reported have been reclassified to conform with
     the  presentation  in  these  consolidated   financial  statements.   These
     reclassifications did not affect previously reported net income or retained
     earnings.
                                                                     (continued)

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The  Company's  fair value  estimates,  methods,  and  assumptions  for its
     financial instruments are set forth below:

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The recorded amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

     Securities

     The fair value of securities is estimated based on bid prices  published in
     financial  newspapers,  bid quotations received from securities dealers, or
     quoted  market  prices of similar  instruments,  adjusted  for  differences
     between the quoted  instruments and the instruments being valued.  The fair
     value of  mortgage-backed  and related securities is estimated based on bid
     prices published in financial  newspapers and bid quotations  received from
     securities dealers.

     Loans

     Fair values are  estimated for  portfolios of loans with similar  financial
     characteristics.  Loans  are  segregated  by  type  such  as  real  estate,
     consumer, and commercial.

     The fair value of loans is calculated by  discounting  scheduled cash flows
     through the estimated  maturity using estimated  market discount rates that
     reflect  the  credit  and  interest  rate risk  inherent  in the loan.  The
     estimate of maturity is based on the Company's  historical  experience with
     repayments  for each loan  classification,  modified,  as  required,  by an
     estimate  of the effect of current  economic  and lending  conditions.  The
     effect of  nonperforming  loans is  considered in assessing the credit risk
     inherent in the fair value estimate.

     Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

     The value of  Federal  Home Loan Bank  (FHLB)  stock is  equivalent  to its
     carrying value because it is redeemable at par value.

     Accrued Interest Receivable

     The recorded amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value.

     Deposits

     The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as passbook, money
     market,  noninterest bearing checking,  and checking accounts,  is equal to
     the amount payable on demand.  The fair value of certificates of deposit is
     based on the discounted  value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate
     is  estimated  using the rates  currently  offered for  deposits of similar
     remaining  maturities.  The fair value estimates do not include the benefit
     that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit  liabilities
     compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.

     Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank

     The fair value of advances  from FHLB is based on the  discounted  value of
     contractual cash flows.
                                                                     (continued)

                                       27

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                             June 30, 2002 and 2001


     Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance

     The  recorded  amount  of  advance  payments  by  borrowers  for  taxes and
     insurance approximates fair value.

     Accrued Interest Payable

     The recorded amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value.

     Limitations

     Fair  value  estimates  are made at a  specific  point  in  time,  based on
     relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.
     Because  no  market  exists  for a  significant  portion  of the  Company's
     financial  instruments,   fair  value  estimates  are  based  on  judgments
     regarding  future expected loss experience,  current  economic  conditions,
     risk characteristics of various financial  instruments,  and other factors.
     These  estimates  are  subjective in nature and involve  uncertainties  and
     matters of significant  judgment and, therefore,  cannot be determined with
     precision.   Changes  in  assumptions  could  significantly   affect  these
     estimates.

     Effect of New Accounting Standards

     In July 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
     No.  141,  Business  Combinations,  and SFAS No.  142,  Goodwill  and Other
     Intangible  Assets.  SFAS No.  141  requires  that the  purchase  method of
     accounting be used for all business  combinations  initiated after June 30,
     2001, as well as all purchase method business combinations  completed after
     June 30,  2001.  SFAS No. 141 also  specifies  criteria  intangible  assets
     acquired  in a  purchase  method  business  combination  must  meet  to  be
     recognized and reported apart from goodwill, noting that any purchase price
     allocable to an assembled  workforce may not be accounted  for  separately.
     SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible  assets with  indefinite
     useful lives no longer be amortized,  but instead  evaluated for impairment
     at least  annually in accordance  with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS
     No. 142 also requires that intangible  assets with definite useful lives be
     amortized over their  respective  estimated useful lives to their estimated
     residual values and reviewed for impairment.

     The  Company  was  required  to  adopt  the  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  141
     immediately.  The Company elected to early adopt SFAS No. 142 as of July 1,
     2002.

     In  connection  with  SFAS  No.  142's  transitional   goodwill  impairment
     evaluation,  the Company  performed an  assessment  of whether there was an
     indication that goodwill was impaired as of the date of adoption. There was
     no impairment indicated.

     As of the date of  adoption,  the Company had  unamortized  goodwill in the
     amount of $18,523,607 and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in the
     amount of $418,687.  Amortization  expense related to goodwill was $843,680
     for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2001.  Amortization  expense  related  to
     identifiable intangible assets was $85,698 and $109,999,  respectively, for
     the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

     In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
     Obligations.  SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record the fair value of
     an asset  retirement  obligation  as a liability  in the period in which it
     incurs a legal  obligation  associated  with  the  retirement  of  tangible
     long-lived   assets  that  result  from  the   acquisition,   construction,
     development  and/or  normal  use of  assets.  The  Company  also
                                                                     (continued)

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                             June 30, 2002 and 2001


     records a  corresponding  asset which is  depreciated  over the life of the
     asset.  The  Company is  required  to adopt  SFAS No. 143 for fiscal  years
     beginning  after June 15, 2002.  The Company does not expect this statement
     to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
     or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 and
     the  accounting  and  reporting  provision  of APB  Opinion  No. 30 for the
     disposal  of a segment  of a  business.  SFAS No. 144  addresses  financial
     accounting  and  reporting  for the  impairment  or disposal of  long-lived
     assets and  requires  that  long-lived  assets be reviewed  for  impairment
     whenever  events or changes in  circumstances  indicate  that the  carrying
     amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability  of assets to be
     held and used is  measured by a  comparison  of the  carrying  amount of an
     asset to future net cash flows  expected to be generated  by the asset.  If
     the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an
     impairment  charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount
     of the asset  exceeds  the fair value of the asset.  SFAS No. 144  requires
     companies to separately  report  discontinued  operations  and extends that
     reporting to a component of an entity that either has been  disposed of (by
     sale,  abandonment,  or in a  distribution  to owners) or is  classified as
     held-for-sale.  Assets to be disposed  of are  reported at the lower of the
     carrying  amount or fair value less costs to sell.  The Company is required
     to adopt SFAS No. 144 for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 2001.
     The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on
     the consolidated financial statements.

     SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of
     FASB  Statement  No. 13, and Technical  Corrections  was issued April 2002.
     This  Statement  rescinds  SFAS No.  4,  Reporting  Gains and  Losses  from
     Extinguishment  of Debt, and an amendment of that  Statement,  SFAS No. 64,
     Extinguishments  of Debt Made to Satisfy  Sinking-Fund  Requirements.  This
     Statement also rescinds SFAS No. 44,  Accounting  for Intangible  Assets of
     Motor Carriers.  This Statement amends SFAS No. 13,  Accounting for Leases,
     to  eliminate  an  inconsistency   between  the  required   accounting  for
     sale-leaseback  transactions and the required  accounting for certain lease
     modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback
     transactions.  This  Statement  also amends  other  existing  authoritative
     pronouncements to make various technical corrections,  clarify meanings, or
     describe their applicability under changed conditions.

     Troubled Debt Restructurings

     At June 30,  2002,  2001,  and 2000,  the Company had  nonaccrual  loans of
     $5,106,000,  $1,094,000, and $25,000,  respectively, and restructured loans
     of $393,000, $130,000, and $65,000, respectively.  Interest income recorded
     during  2002,  2001,  and 2000 on  restructured  loans  was not  materially
     different  than  interest  income  which would have been  recorded if these
     loans had been current in accordance  with their original  terms.  Interest
     forgone on  nonaccrual  loans was $313,300 in 2002,  $105,653 in 2001,  and
     $1,250 in 2000.

     Loan Servicing

     The Company originates  mortgage loans for portfolio  investment or sale in
     the secondary market. During the period of origination,  mortgage loans are
     designated  as held either for sale or for  investment  purposes.  Mortgage
     loans  held for sale are  carried  at the  lower of cost or  market  value,
     determined  on an aggregate  basis.  There were no mortgage  loans held for
     sale at June 30, 2002.


                                                                     (Continued)

                             June 30, 2002 and 2001


     Mortgage  loans  serviced for others are not  included in the  accompanying
     consolidated  statements  of  financial  condition.  The  unpaid  principal
     balance of these loans was  $98,771,932,  $142,730,413,  and $42,865,542 at
     June 30, 2002,  2001, and 2000,  respectively.  Servicing  loans for others
     generally  consists of collecting  mortgage  payments,  maintaining  escrow
     accounts, disbursing payments to investors, and foreclosure processing.

     Loan  servicing  income is  recorded  on the  accrual  basis  and  includes
     servicing fees from investors and certain charges collected from borrowers,
     such as late payment  fees.  In  connection  with these loans  serviced for
     others, the Company held borrowers' escrow balances of $648,486,  $814,977,
     and $110,483 at June 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

     Concentrations of Credit Risk

     The Company conducts the majority of its loan origination activities in its
     market  area,  which  includes  Northwest  and Central Iowa and portions of
     Nebraska and South Dakota. In addition to loan origination, the Company has
     purchased loans outside of its primary  lending area.  Although the Company
     has a diversified loan portfolio,  a substantial  portion of its borrowers'
     ability to repay their loans is dependent  upon economic  conditions in the
     Company's market area.

     Loans  purchased   outside  the  Company's  primary  lending  area  totaled
     approximately  $93.5 million at June 30, 2002,  and included  approximately
     $78.7  million  in  loans  that  are  geographically   distributed  in  the
     Midwestern  United States.  The remaining loans are distributed  throughout
     the United States,  with the largest  geographic  concentrations  including
     Colorado with $10.9 million and Connecticut with $1.4 million.

     Included in the totals of loans  purchased  outside the  Company's  primary
     lending area are loans purchased from a mortgage banking firm headquartered
     in Madison,  Wisconsin.  The Company has an exclusive  agreement  with this
     firm,  which  gives the  Company  first right of refusal on any real estate
     loans generated,  including  one-to-four family,  multi-family,  commercial
     real estate,  and land  development  loans  secured by  properties  located
     primarily  in the Madison,  Wisconsin  metropolitan  area.  The Company has
     sold,  and  anticipates  that  it  will  continue  to  sell,  participation
     interests in these loans to other  financial  institutions  located in Iowa
     and contiguous states. At June 30, 2002, the outstanding  principal balance
     of loans  purchased  under  the above  agreement  was  approximately  $65.5
     million  and  participation  interests  in  these  balances  sold to  other
     financial institutions totaled approximately $14.9 million.

     Securitized Mortgage Loans

     In March 2001, the Company sold approximately  $112.7 million of fixed rate
     single  family  mortgage  loans  in  securitized  transactions.   In  those
     securitizations,  the  Company  retained  servicing  responsibilities.  The
     Company recognized pretax gains of approximately  $1,714,000 on the sale of
     the  securitized  mortgage  loans.  There  were no  mortgage  loans sold in
     securitized transactions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.


                                                                     (Continued)

     Projections  of  amortization  expense are based on existing asset balances
     and the existing  interest rate  environment as of June 30, 2002.  What the
     Company actually experiences may be significantly  different depending upon
     changes in mortgage  interest  rates and market  conditions.  The following

(8)  Other Assets

     Included in other assets at June 30, 2002 and 2001 are  mortgage  servicing
     rights. The changes in capitalized  mortgage servicing rights for the years
     ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were as follows:

                                            =========               =========



     The fair value of mortgage  servicing rights was approximately  $332,250 at
     June 30, 2002.

     The key economic assumptions used in determining the fair value of mortgage
     servicing   rights   at  the  date  of   securitizations   resulting   from
     securitizations completed in 2001 were as follows:

     Prepayment speed                                               15.54 %
     Weighted average life                                           3.52 years

     At June 30, 2002, key economic  assumptions  and sensitivity of the current
     fair value of the mortgage  servicing  rights to immediate 50 and 100 basis
     point adverse changes in those assumptions were as follows:


     Fair value of mortgage servicing rights                      $332,250
     Expected weighted average life                                   0.92 years
     Prepayment speed assumption                                     22.92%
          Decrease in fair value from a 50 basis point change     $ 25,000
          Decrease in fair value from a 100 basis point change      47,000
     Discount rate assumption                                         7.38%
          Decrease in fair value from a 50 basis point change     $ 25,000
          Decrease in fair value from a 100 basis point change      47,000


     These  sensitivities  are hypothetical and should be used with caution.  As
     the  figures  indicate,  changes  in fair value  based on a 50 basis  point
     variation  in  assumption  generally  cannot be  extrapolated  because  the
     relationship  of the change in the  assumption  to the change in fair value
     may not be linear.  Also, in the above table,  the effect of a variation in
     particular  assumption  on the  fair  value  of  the  servicing  rights  is
     calculated  independently,   without  changing  any  other  assumption.  In
     reality,  changes in one  factor  may  result in  changes  in another  (for
     example,  changes in prepayment  speed estimates could result in changes in
     the residual cash flows discount rates),  which might magnify or counteract
     the sensitivities.

(C)  Includes FHLB convertible advances.  Convertible advances are advances that
     the FHLB may terminate and require the Company to repay prior to the stated
     maturity date of the advance. Usage of this type of advance is limited to a
     range of 10% to 20% of the Company's  total assets by the FHLB. At June 30,
     2002 and 2001,  the advances  included in this maturity  range are callable
     after an initial lock-out period according to the following schedule:

(D)  Amortizing  advances  are  advances  that  amortize  over a 15 year  period
     matched to a weighted-average rate of comparable FHLB bonds.

(E)  The Fed Funds Advance does not require the Company to establish a committed
     line to obtain an advance.  The Fed Funds Advance rate on new borrowings is
     based on the Fed Funds Market rate at the time of  borrowing.  There are no
     minimum advance amounts,  no commitment fees, and no prepayment  penalties.
     Outstanding  Fed  Funds  Advances  automatically  renew  each  day  and are
     repriced  based on the FHLB's  return on overnight  investments.  Fed Funds
     Advances have no stated  maturity and may be prepaid at will.  During 2002,
     the interest  rate at which these  advances  repriced  ranged from 1.38% to
     4.40%. Fed Funds Advances are collateralized as described in (A) above.

At June 30,  2002 and 2001,  accrued  interest  payable  on  advances  from FHLB
totaled $12,405 and $11,181, respectively.

     Based upon the Company's level of historical taxable income and anticipated
     future  taxable  income over the periods  which the deferred tax assets are
     deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will
     realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

(12) Employee Benefit Plans

     Pension

     The Bank is a participant  in the Financial  Institutions  Retirement  Fund
     (FIRF),  and substantially all of its officers and employees are covered by
     the plan.  FIRF does not  segregate  the assets,  liabilities,  or costs by
     participating employer. According to FIRF's administrators,  as of June 30,
     2001,  the date of the  latest  actuarial  valuation,  the book and  market
     values  of the fund  assets  exceed  the value of  vested  benefits  in the
     aggregate.  In accordance  with FIRF's  instructions,  there was no pension
     contribution in 2002, 2001, and 2000 because the plan was fully funded.


                                                                     (Continued)

     Profit Sharing Plan

     Bank employees  participate in the First Federal Bank Employees'  Savings &
     Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the Profit Sharing Plan).  Employees who are
     at least 21 years of age become eligible for participation  after 12 months
     of continuous  employment (during which at least 1,000 hours of service are
     completed).  The Bank matches an amount equal to 25% of the first 4% of the
     employee's  compensation.  The Profit  Sharing  Plan  expense for the years
     ended June 30,  2002,  2001,  and 2000 was $48,265,  $44,555,  and $42,619,
     respectively.

     ESOP

     In July 1992, as part of the reorganization to the stock form of ownership,
     the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) purchased 143,809 shares of
     the  Company's  common stock at $3.066 per share,  or  $441,000,  which was
     funded  by a loan from an  unaffiliated  lender.  This  loan was  repaid in
     December 1996, and the shares were fully  allocated to participants at June
     30, 1998. In April 1999, as part of the  reorganization  and  conversion of
     First Federal Bankshares,  M.H.C., the Bank's ESOP purchased 184,450 shares
     of the  Company's  common  stock at $10 per  share,  which was  funded by a
     15-year, 7% loan from the Company.  Quarterly principal payments of $30,742
     commenced  on June 30,  1999.  All  employees  meeting  the age and service
     requirements are eligible to participate in the ESOP. Contributions made by
     the Bank to the Plan are allocated to participants by using a formula based
     on compensation.  Participant  benefits become 100% vested after five years
     of service.  The ESOP is accounted  for under  "Employers'  Accounting  for
     Employee Stock Ownership  Plans" (SOP 93-6).  Dividends paid on unallocated
     shares  reduce the Company's  cash  contributions  to the ESOP.  The ESOP's
     borrowing from the Company is eliminated in consolidation.

     At June 30,  2002 and 2001,  allocated  shares were  153,801  and  138,423,
     respectively.  Shares  committed  to be  released  were  7,398  and  7,746,
     respectively.  The fair value of the 133,000 and 147,347 unallocated shares
     was approximately $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

     Plan expense was $180,581,  $156,821, and $173,367 for the years ended June
     30, 2002,  2001,  and 2000,  respectively.  Interest  expense was $105,566,
     $114,174, and $123,359 on the Plan's borrowing for the years ended June 30,
     2002, 2001, and 2000.

     Stock Options

     The  Company's  1992 stock option plan  permitted the board of directors to
     grant options to purchase up to 124,510  shares of the Company's  $0.01 par
     value common stock. The options may be granted to directors and officers of
     the Company.  The price at which  options may be  exercised  cannot be less
     than the fair value of the shares at the date the options are granted.  The
     options are subject to certain vesting  requirements  and maximum  exercise
     periods, as established by the board of directors.

     In October 1999, the Company  established  the 1999 stock option plan (1999
     Plan).  The  Company's  1999 Plan  permits the board of  directors to grant
     options to purchase up to 263,500  shares of the Company's  $0.01 par value
     common  stock.  The options may be granted to directors and officers of the
     Company.  The price at which  options may be exercised  cannot be less than
     the fair  value of the  shares at the date the  options  are  granted.  The
     options are subject to certain vesting  requirements  and maximum  exercise
     periods, as established by the board of directors.

     The Company applies Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related
     interpretations in accounting for its plans.  Accordingly,  no compensation
     cost  has  been  recognized  for  its  stock  options  in the  consolidated
     financial statements.  Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option
     plans been  determined  consistent  with SFAS No. 123,  the  Company's  net
     income and  earnings  per share for options  granted and vested  would have
     been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

     The  fair  value  of  each  option  grant  has  been  estimated  using  the
     Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model  with the  following  weighted-average
     assumptions used for grants in fiscal year 2002,  2001, and 2000:  dividend
     yield of 3.41%;  expected  volatility of 22.76%; risk free interest rate of
     6.29%; and expected life of 7.5 years.

     Changes in options  outstanding and exercisable during 2002, 2001, and 2000
     were as follows:

     Recognition and Retention Plan

     In October 1999, the Company established the 1999 Recognition and Retention
     Plan (RRP) for certain executive officers. The Company contributed funds to

     Regulatory Capital Requirements

     The Financial  Institution  Reform,  Recovery,  and Enforcement Act of 1989
     (FIRREA) and the capital  regulations  of the Office of Thrift  Supervision
     (OTS)  promulgated   thereunder   require   institutions  to  have  minimum
     regulatory  tangible  capital equal to 1.5% of total  assets,  a minimum 3%
     leverage  capital ratio, and a minimum 8% risk-based  capital ratio.  These
     capital standards set forth in the capital regulations must generally be no
     less stringent  than the capital  standards  applicable to national  banks.
     FIRREA also specifies the required ratio of housing-related assets in order
     to qualify as a savings institution.

     The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation  Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA)
     established additional capital requirements which require regulatory action
     against depository  institutions in one of the undercapitalized  categories
     defined in implementing  regulations.  Institutions such as the Bank, which
     are defined as well  capitalized,  must generally  have a leverage  capital
     (core) ratio of at least 5%, a tier  risk-based  capital  ratio of at least
     6%,  and a total  risk-based  capital  ratio of at least 10%.  FDICIA  also
     provides  for  increased   supervision  by  federal  regulatory   agencies,
     increased reporting requirements for insured depository  institutions,  and
     other   changes  in  the  legal  and   regulatory   environment   for  such
     institutions.

     The Bank met all regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2002 and 2001.

     Retained earnings at June 30, 2002 included approximately $9,165,000, which
     constitute allocations to bad debt reserves for Federal income tax purposes
     and for  which no  provision  for taxes on income  has been  made.  If such
     allocations  are charged for other than bad debt losses,  taxable income is
     created to the extent of the charges.

     Dividends and Restrictions Thereon

     In July  1992,  the Bank  converted  from a mutual to a stock  organization
     through the  formation  of a Mutual  Holding  Company.  In April 1999,  the
     Mutual Holding Company converted to a stock organization.

     The 1992 and 1999 Plans of Conversion  provided for the  establishment of a
     special  "liquidation  account" for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders
     and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders in an amount equal to the greater
     of:

          1.   the sum of the Mutual Holding  Company's  ownership  interests in
               the surplus and reserves of the Bank as of the date of its latest
               balance sheet contained in the final offering  circular,  and the
               amount of any dividends waived by the Mutual Holding Company; or

          2.   the  retained  earnings  of the  Bank at the  time  that the Bank
               reorganized into the Mutual Holding Company in July 1992.

     Each eligible Account Holder and Supplemental  Eligible Account Holder,  if
     such person were to continue to maintain such person's  deposit  account at
     the Bank, would be entitled,  upon a complete liquidation of the Bank after
     the  conversion,  to an interest in the  liquidation  account  prior to any
     payment to the Company as the sole stockholder of the Bank.

     Federal  regulations impose certain limitations on the payment of dividends
     and other capital  distributions  by the Bank. Under these  regulations,  a
     savings  institution,  such as the Bank, that will meet the fully phased-in
     capital  requirements  (as  defined  by OTS  regulations)  subsequent  to a
     capital  distribution  is  generally  permitted  to  make  such  a  capital
     distribution  without  OTS  approval,  subject to certain  limitations  and
     restrictions as described in the  regulations.  A savings  institution with
     total capital in excess of current minimum capital requirements, but not in
     excess  of the  fully  phased-in  requirements,  is  permitted  by the  new
     regulations to make, without OTS approval, capital distributions of between
     25%  and 75% of its  net  earnings  for the  previous  four  quarters  less
     dividends already paid for such period. A savings institution that fails to
     meet current  minimum  capital  requirements  is prohibited from making any
     capital  distributions

                                                                     (Continued)

     without prior  approval from the OTS. The Bank's  current  compliance  with
     fully phased-in capital requirements would permit payment of dividends upon
     notice to the OTS.

(14) Financial Instruments with Off-balance Sheet Risk

     The Company is a party to various  transactions with off-balance sheet risk
     in  the  normal  course  of  business.  These  transactions  are  primarily
     commitments  to originate  loans.  These  instruments  involve,  to varying
     degrees,  elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
     recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

     At June 30, 2002 and 2001,  the Company had  commitments  to originate  and
     purchase loans  approximating  $31,530,000 and  $48,276,000,  respectively,
     excluding undisbursed portions of loans in process. Commitments,  which are
     disbursed  subject to certain  limitations,  extend over various periods of
     time.  Generally,  unused  commitments  are canceled upon expiration of the
     commitment term as outlined in each individual contract. Because the credit
     worthiness  of  each  customer  is  reviewed  prior  to  extension  of  the
     commitment,  the  Company  adequately  controls  its  credit  risk on these
     commitments,  as it does for loans  recorded on the  statement of financial
     condition.

     The  Company  had  approved,  but  unused,  consumer  lines  of  credit  of
     approximately  $12,489,000  and  $15,185,000  at June 30,  2002  and  2001,
     respectively.  At June  30,  2002  and  2001,  approximately  67% and  56%,
     respectively,  of the consumer  lines  outstanding  were for the  Company's
     credit card program. The Company had approved, but unused, commercial lines
     of credit of approximately  $4,907,000 and $10,502,000 at June 30, 2002 and
     2001, respectively.

     At June 30,  2002 and 2001,  the  Company  had  commitments  to sell  loans
     approximating $4,155,000 and $4,750,000, respectively.


                                                                     (Continued)
