NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. The interim financial data is unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results
for the interim periods. The financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Bank pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principals have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
Bank believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.
The organization and business of the Bank, accounting policies followed by
the Bank and other information are contained in the notes to the Bank's
financial statements filed as part of the Bank's June 30, 1995 Form 10-KSB.
This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such annual
report.
2. Dividends. During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Board of
Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share on the Company's
outstanding common stock, payable to stockholders of record as of December
31, 1995. The dividends were paid in January, 1996. As required by SOP
93-6, dividends on unallocated ESOP shares have been recorded as
compensation cost rather than a reduction of retained earnings.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share on the Company's outstanding
common stock, payable to stockholders of record as of March 31, 1996. The
dividends were paid in April, 1996.
3. Employee Stock Option Plan. On December 31, 1995, the Company released
1,886 shares of its common stock owned by the Company's ESOP that were
committed to be released. The release of the shares resulted in $26,168 of
additional compensation cost.
4. Management Stock Bonus Plan. On March 19, 1996, the Company received
approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision to implement the Company's
Stock Bonus Plan. In late April the Plan purchased 37,950 shares of common
stock to be distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
General
GFSB Bancorp, Inc., is the 100% owner of Gallup Federal Savings Bank ("the
Bank"), and the Bank is currently the only entity with which the holding company
has an ownership interest. The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of
accepting deposit accounts from the general public and using such funds to
originate mortgage loans for the purchase and refinancing of one-to four-family
homes located in its primary market area. The Bank also originates multi-family,
commercial real estate, construction, consumer and commercial business loans.
The Bank also purchases mortgage-backed and investment securities. The largest
components of the Bank's net earnings are net interest income, which is the
difference between interest income and interest expense, and noninterest income
derived primarily from fees. Consequently, the Bank's earnings are dependent on
its ability to originate loans, net interest income, and the relative amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank's net
earnings is also affected by its provision for loan losses and foreclosed real
estate as well as the amount of other expense, such as compensation and benefit
expense, occupancy and equipment expense and deposit insurance premium expenses.
Earnings of the Bank also are affected significantly by general economic and
competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates,
government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. The disparity in
premiums paid by BIF and SAIF insured institutions will also adversely impact
the Bank.
Several alternatives to mitigate the effect of the BIF/SAIF insurance premium
disparity have recently been proposed by the U.S. Congress, federal regulators,
industry lobbyists and the Administration. One plan that has gained support of
several sponsors would require all SAIF member institutions, including the Bank,
to pay a one-time assessment of up to 85 to 90 basis points on the amount of
deposits held by the member institution to recapitalize the SAIF. If this
proposal is enacted by Congress, the effect would be to immediately reduce the
capital of the SAIF-member institutions by the amount of the fee, and such
amount would be immediately charged to earnings. If a requirement was
implemented as of March 31, 1995 (the date contained in some recently proposed
legislation for the Bank to pay a one-time assessment of .90% of insured
deposits), the amount of such assessment would be approximately $340,000.
Management of the Bank is unable to predict whether this proposal or any similar
proposal will be enacted or whether ongoing SAIF premiums will be reduced to a
level equal to that of BIF premiums.
Management Strategy
Management's strategy has been to monitor interest rate risk, by asset and
liability management, and maintain asset quality while enhancing earnings and
profitability. The Bank's strategy has been primarily to make loans and
secondarily to invest remaining funds in mortgage-backed securities and
investment securities. The Bank's purchase of mortgage-backed securities and
investment securities is designed primarily for safety of principal and
secondarily for rate of return. The Bank's lending strategy has historically
focused on the origination of traditional one- to four-family mortgage loans
primarily secured by one- to four-family residences in the Bank's primary market
area. These loans typically have fixed rates. The Bank also invests a portion of
its assets in construction, consumer, commercial business, multi-family and
commercial real estate loans as a method of enhancing earnings and profitability
while also reducing interest rate risk. Since 1994, the Bank has actively
originated commercial business loans and increased its origination of commercial
real estate loans and construction loans. These loans typically have adjustable
interest rates and are for shorter terms than residential first mortgage loans.
The Bank has limited experience with these types of loans, and this type of
lending generally has more risk than residential lending. Investment securities
in the Bank's portfolio typically have shorter terms to maturity than
residential first mortgage loans. As part of its asset/liability management
strategy, the Bank sells its fixed rate mortgage loans with terms over 15 years
into the secondary market. The Bank has sought to remain competitive in its
market by offering a variety of products. The Bank attempts to manage the
interest rates it pays on deposits while maintaining a stable deposit base and
providing quality services to its customers.
During the past few years the competing financial institutions located in
Gallup have all been acquired by statewide and regional bank holding companies.
As a result, as of 1995, the Bank is the only local institution headquartered
and managed in Gallup, New Mexico. The Bank believes that its "hometown"
advantage will provide an opportunity to expand its operations as the only local
independent financial institution and that the reorganization to the holding
Page 9
company format and the capital raised from the conversion will enable it
to take advantage of this opportunity. It intends to use the new structure and
capital to expand both the amount and scope of its current lending and
investment activities. The Bank also believes that it has a unique ability to
grow as a result of the relatively large retail and wholesale businesses
specializing in Indian jewelry. In addition, the Bank is exploring methods of
increasing its business with the large Native American population located in the
nearby Navajo and Zuni Pueblo Indian reservations.
Asset and Liability Management
In an effort to reduce interest rate risk and protect it from the negative
effect of rapid increases and decreases in interest rates, the Bank has
instituted certain asset and liability management measures including selling
fixed rate mortgage loans with terms over 15 years. See "-Management Strategy."
The Bank, like many other thrift institutions, is exposed to interest rate risk
as a result of the difference in the maturity of interest-bearing liabilities
and interest-earning assets and the volatility of interest rates. Most deposit
accounts react more quickly to market interest rate movements than do the
existing mortgage loans because of their shorter terms to maturity; sharp
decreases in interest rates would typically positively affect the Bank's
earnings. Conversely, this same mismatch will generally adversely affect the
Bank's earnings during periods of inclining interest rates. Generally, market
interest rates declined between 1991 and 1993. By the latter part of 1993,
interest rates on U.S. treasury bonds and home mortgage loans had declined to
lower levels than had been experienced in the prior ten years. During 1994
general market interest rates, including rates charged on mortgage loans and
rates paid on deposits, increased. General market interest rates decreased
during 1995, and then showed an increase during the first quarter of 1996.
During the low interest rate environment that existed from 1991 through 1993,
the Bank, like other financial institutions, experienced a significant increase
in homeowners seeking to refinance their existing mortgages. This trend resulted
in a decrease in the yield on the Bank's interest earning assets, namely the
loan portfolio and mortgage-backed securities portfolios. The net interest rate
spread may decrease if deposits reprice upward more rapidly than interest
earning assets.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Bank's total assets increased $17.5 million or 33% from $52.9 million at
June 30, 1995 to $70.4 million at March 31, 1996. This increase is the result of
a $13.4 million increase in mortgage-backed securities, and a $2.7 million
increase in the Bank's net loan portfolio. These increases are offset by a
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million. The majority of the
increases are directly attributable to efforts of Management to take advantage
of the increased capital infusion made as a result of the conversion from a
mutual to stock form of ownership through increased investment and lending
activity. During the same period, deposits increased $6.6 million from $36.6
million at June 30, 1995 to $43.2 million at March 31, 1996. This increase is
primarily due to the Bank now offering NOW accounts and business checking
accounts to its customers. The Bank had $234,000 and $162,000 in unrealized
gains (net of deferred taxes) at March 31, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively
from market gains on the Bank's investment and mortgage-backed portfolios.
Unrealized gains and losses do not impact the Bank's financial statements until
they are realized.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995
General
Net earnings decreased $5,000 or 3% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 from
the quarter ended March 31, 1995. This decrease is primarily the result of an
increase in non-interest expense of $130,000 offset by an increase in net
interest earnings of $141,000 and an increase in income taxes of $20,000.
Page 10
Total Interest Earnings
Total interest income increased $367,000 or 40.11% from $915,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 to $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The
increase was primarily due to a $13.4 million increase in the Bank's
mortgage-backed securities portfolio and some general increases in interest
rates.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense increased $230,000 or 53.61% from $429,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 to $659,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
This increase was due to a general increase in the deposit base including the
addition of NOW accounts, higher rates on deposit products, and a substantial
increase in borrowings.
Provision for Losses on Loans
The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon management's periodic
evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, past loss
experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay
loans, estimated value of the underlying collateral and current and expected
market conditions. The allowance for loan losses was $311,000 and $307,000 at
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The provision for loans was $0.00 and
$4,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Based on a
historical trend of limited losses on residential loans, the amount of the loan
loss provision allocated to residential loans remained relatively stable for the
two periods. While the Bank 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. The establishment of a loan loss provision each period
adversely impacts the Bank's net earnings.
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense increased $130,000 or 57.52% from $226,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 to $356,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits of
$62,000, an increase in professional fees of $41,000, an increase in other
expenses of $7,000, and an increase in occupancy costs of $7,000. The increase
in professional fees is due to the increased reporting requirements resulting
from the conversion. The increase in compensation and benefits was the result of
the addition of a senior operating officer. The increase in other expenses is
due to increased supplies, travel, and phone expenses due to the conversion.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
COMPARED TO NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1995
General
Net earnings increased $248,000 or 70.45% for the nine month period ended March
31, 1996 from the nine month period ended March 31, 1995. This increase is
primarily the result of an increase in interest earnings of $971,000 and a
decrease in the provision for loan losses of $63,000, offset by an increase in
interest expense of $516,000 and an increase in non-interest expense of
$185,000.
Total Interest Earnings
Total interest income increased $971,000 or 36% from $2.6 million for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1995 to $3.6 million for the nine month period
ended March 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to a $13.4 million increase
in the Bank's mortgage-backed securities portfolio, a $2.7 million increase in
loan portfolio and some general increases in interest rates.
Page 11
Interest Expense
Total interest expense increased $516,000 or 43% from $1.2 million for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1995 to $1.7 million for the nine month period
ended March 31, 1996. This increase was due to a general increase in the deposit
base including the addition of NOW accounts, higher rates on deposit products,
and a substantial increase in borrowings.
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense increased $185,000 or 26% from $723,000 for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1995 to $908,000 for the nine month period ended
March 31, 1996. This increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation
and benefits of $81,000, an increase in other expenses of $29,000, an increase
in data processing costs of $17,000, an increase in advertising costs of
$18,000, and an increase in occupancy costs of $31,000. The increase in
compensation and benefits was the result of the addition of a senior operating
officer. The increase in other expense, advertising, and occupancy is due to
increased activity due to the conversion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Bank is required under applicable federal regulations to maintain specified
levels of "liquid" investments in qualifying types of U.S. Government, federal
agency and other investments having maturities of five years or less. Current
OTS regulations require that a savings institution maintain liquid assets of not
less than 5% of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts
and borrowings payable in one year or less, of which short-term liquid assets
must consist of not less than 1%. At March 31, 1996, the Bank's liquidity, as
measured for regulatory purposes, was 13.25%. The Bank adjusts liquidity as
appropriate to meet its asset/liability objectives.
The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of
loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and
funds provided from operations. While scheduled loan repayments are a relatively
predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan and mortgage-backed security
prepayments are significantly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition. In addition, the Bank invests excess funds in
overnight deposits which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.
The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include
investments in highly liquid short-term investments. The level of these assets
are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing, and investing activities
during any given period. At March 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents totaled
$6.8 million. The Bank has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional
funds arise. Additional sources of funds include FHLB of Dallas advances and the
ability to borrow against mortgage-backed and other securities. At March 31,
1996, the Bank had $10 million in outstanding borrowings from the FHLB of
Dallas. These outstanding borrowings were used to purchase additional
mortgage-backed securities as a means of enhancing earnings.
The primary investment activity of the Bank is the origination of loans,
primarily mortgage loans. During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Bank
originated $5.7 million in total loans, of which $3.6 million were mortgage
loans. Another investment activity of the Bank is the investment of funds in
U.S. Government Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, federal funds and
FHLB-Dallas overnight funds. During periods when the Bank's loan demand is
limited, the Bank may purchase short-term investment securities to obtain a
higher yield than otherwise available.
The Bank's cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows
from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Cash
flows from operating activities, consisting principally of interest and
dividends received less interest paid on deposits, were $626,000 and $244,000
for the nine month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net cash
used for investing activities consisted primarily of disbursement of loan
originations and investment in mortgage-backed security purchases, offset by
principal collections on loans and proceeds from the maturities of investment
securities. Such uses were $15.3 million and $4.2 million for the nine month
periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net cash provided from
financing activities consisting primarily of net activity in deposit and escrow
accounts and new FHLB borrowings, were $16.6 million and $2.7 million for the
nine month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet
its current commitments. As of March 31, 1996, the Bank had commitments to fund
loans of $3.3 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year
or less totaled $17.8 million. Based on historical withdrawals and outflows, and
on internal monthly deposit

reports monitored by management, management believes
that a majority of deposits will remain with the Bank. As a result, no adverse
liquidity effects are expected.
At March 31, 1996, the Bank exceeded each of the three OTS capital requirements
on a fully-phased-in basis.
Impact of Certain Accounting Standards
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived
Assets to be Disposed of
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of." This Statement
will be effective for the Bank for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. This
statement established standards for the impairment of long-lived assets and
requires that long-lived assets held by an entity be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of
an asset may not be recoverable. The Statement also requires that long-lived
assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying value or fair
value less cost to sell. This Statement is not anticipated to have a material
impact on the Bank's financial condition.
Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights
In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights." This Statement amends FASB No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage
Banking Activities." This Statement requires that mortgage banking enterprises
recognize as separate assets right to service mortgage loans for others, however
those servicing rights are acquired. Mortgage banking enterprises that acquire
mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of mortgage
loans and sells or securitizes those loans with servicing rights retained should
allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights
and the loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative
fair values if it is practicable to estimate those fair values. This Statement
applies to fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1995. The Bank currently
does not retain servicing rights on sold loans, therefore, this Statement is not
anticipated to have a material impact on the Bank's financial condition.
