Overview GFSB Bancorp, Inc. is a savings and loan holding company headquartered in Gallup, New Mexico, which provides a full range of deposits and traditional mortgage loan products through its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Gallup Federal Savings Bank. All references refer collectively to the Company and the Bank, unless the context indicates otherwise. 9 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001. General Net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 decreased $62,000 to $426,000 from $488,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in net earnings is primarily attributable to a $50,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $259,000 increase in non-interest expense partially offset by an increase in net interest earnings of $153,000, a $47,000 increase in non-interest earnings, and a $47,000 decrease in income tax expense. Please refer to "Average Balance Sheets" for an analysis of the changes in net interest earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. Average Balance Sheets The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated and the average annual yields earned and rates paid. Average balances are derived from month-end balances. Management does not believe that the use of month-end balances instead of daily average balances has caused any material differences in the information presented.

(4) Interest-rate spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. (5) Net yield on interest - earning assets represents net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Rate/Volume Analysis The table below sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense of the Company for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume; (ii) changes in rates; (iii) changes in rate-volume. The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

The provision for loan loss was $50,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2002. No provision for loan loss was made for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the current three-month period was primarily the result of loan growth in commercial and commercial real estate loans, which tend to have greater credit risk than residential real estate loans. While the Company maintains its allowance for losses at a level which it considers to be adequate, there can be no assurance that further additions will not be made to the loss allowances and that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. Non-Interest Earnings Total non-interest earnings increased by $47,000 or 47.6% to $147,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 from $99,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to an increase in service charge income of $21,000, an increase in net gains from sales of loans of $34,000, offset by a $10,000 decrease in net gains from sales of available-for-sale securities. The increase in service charge income is primarily due to increased insufficient fee charges collected on NOW and checking accounts, Non-Interest Expense Total non-interest expense increased $259,000 or 32% to $1,069,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 from $810,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. The most significant changes in non-interest expenses were increases in compensation and benefits, data processing, occupancy costs, advertising, professional fees, stationary, printing and office supplies, and other operating expenses, offset by a decrease in stock services. The $105,000 increase in compensation and benefits expense reflects a $90,000 increase in general salaries and benefits expense primarily due to the hiring of nine employees to staff the Bank's new branch and general merit increases in administrative, other employee salaries and employee health insurance expense. Other increases in compensation and benefits include $8,000 in expense related to employee stock compensation plans and $8,000 in expense related to director fee compensation. Data processing increased $34,000 primarily due to higher service bureau expense and higher other processing expenses for the quarter ending December 31, 2002. Contributing to the increase in data processing is processing costs associated with the growth in the volume of deposit and loan accounts. Occupancy costs increased $31,000 due primarily to increases in depreciation for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, maintenance contract expense and other occupancy costs associated with maintaining the new branch. Advertising expense increased $17,000 primarily due to the Bank's efforts to achieve growth in the Farmington, New Mexico market, where the new branch is located. Stationary, printing and office supplies increased $18,000 primarily due to the purchase of forms and supplies for the new branch. Professional fees increased $12,000 primarily due to higher legal fees, audit expense, and accounting fees for the quarter ended December 31, 2002. Other operating expenses increased $40,000, primarily due to higher loan expense, other real estate owned expense, correspondent bank expense, armored transit expense, telephone expense and organization dues and subscriptions expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2002. The $8,000 decrease in stock services for 2002 is primarily due to the absence of a $7,400 regulatory filing fee paid to the OTS in the quarter ended December 31, 2001. 12 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001. General Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2002 increased $58,000 to $937,000 compared to net income of $879,000 for the comparable six-month period in 2001. The increase in net income was primarily the result of an increase net interest earnings income of $437,000 and an $83,000 increase in non-interest earnings partially offset by a $25,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, a $415,000 increase in non-interest expense and a $21,000 increase in income tax expense. Please refer to "Average Balance Sheets" for an analysis of the change in net interest earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. Average Balance Sheets The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated and the average yields earned and rates paid.

Rate/Volume Analysis The table below sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense of the Company for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume; (ii) changes in rates; (iii) changes in rate-volume. The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

The provision for loan loss was $75,000 and $50,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. See "Comparison of Operating Results for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 compared to quarter ended December 31, 2001 - Provision for Losses on Loans." Non-Interest Earnings Total non-interest earnings increased by $83,000 or 43.2% to $275,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 from $192,000 for the six month ended December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to an increase in service charge income of $50,000, an increase in net gains from sales of loans of $39,000, offset by a $10,000 decrease in net gains from sales of available-for-sale securities. The increase in service charge income is primarily due to increased insufficient fee charges collected on NOW and checking accounts, 14 Non-Interest Expense Total non-interest expense increased $415,000 or 25.2% to $2,065,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2002 from $1,650,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001. The most significant changes in non-interest expenses were increases in compensation and benefits, data processing, occupancy costs, advertising, stationary, printing and office supplies, ATM expense and other operating expenses, offset by a decrease in stock services. The $224,000 increase in compensation and benefits expense reflects a $188,000 increase in general salaries and benefits expense primarily due to the hiring of nine employees to staff the Bank's new branch and general merit increases in administrative, other employee salaries and employee health insurance expense. Other increases in compensation and benefits include $20,000 in expense related to employee stock compensation plans and $17,000 in expense related to director fee compensation. Data processing increased $10,000 primarily due to an increase of $22,000 in other processing expenses resulting from the processing cost associated with the growth in the volume of deposit and loan accounts, offset by a decrease in service bureau expense. Service bureau expense was higher in the quarter ending September 30, 2001 due to a change to a new service bureau provider. Occupancy costs increased $65,000 due primarily to increases in depreciation for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, maintenance contract expense and other occupancy costs associated with maintaining the new branch. Advertising expense increased $31,000 primarily due to the Bank's efforts to achieve growth in the Farmington, New Mexico market, where the new branch is located. Stationary, printing and office supplies increased $33,000 primarily due to the purchase of forms and supplies for the new branch. ATM expense increased $8,000 due to a change in our ATM servicing provider. Other operating expenses increased $48,000, due primarily to higher loan expense, other real estate owned expense, correspondent bank expense, armored transit expense and telephone expense for the six months ended December 31, 2002. The $7,000 decrease in stock services for 2002 is primarily due to the absence of a $7,400 regulatory filing fee paid to the OTS in the quarter ended December 31, 2001. Item 3.
