Cautionary Statement Pursuant to Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

     This Presentation contains statements about Oregon Trail Financial

the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of such words as
"believe", "may", "expect," "planned", "anticipated" and "potential." We have
used forward-looking statements to describe future plans and strategies,
including our expectations of Oregon Trail Financial Corp.'s future financial
results. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations
and the current economic environment. Management's ability to predict results
or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors
which could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not
limited to, general and local economic conditions, changes in interest rates,
deposit flows, demand for mortgages and other loans, real estate value,
competition, changes in accounting principles, practices, policies or
guidelines, changes in legislation or regulation, and other economic,
competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors effecting
operations, pricing, products and services. Accordingly, these factors should
be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance
should not be placed on such statements.

     Such forward-looking statements may include projections. Such projections
were not prepared in accordance with published guidelines of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants or the SEC regarding projections and
forecasts, nor have such projections been audited, examined or otherwise
reviewed by independent auditors of Oregon Trail Financial Corp. In addition,
such projections are based on many estimates and inherently subject to
significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of
which are beyond the control of management of Oregon Trail Financial Corp.
Accordingly, actual results may be materially higher or lower than those
projected. The inclusion of such projections herein should not be regarded as
a representation by Oregon Trail Financial Corp. that the projections will
prove to be correct. Oregon Trail Financial Corp. does not undertake to update
any forward-looking statement that may be made on behalf of Oregon Trail
Financial Corp.
