We are again able to describe a successful year for NASB Financial. As in previous years, there was much change and continues to be much optimism for the coming year. In my previous letter to you, I described the significant decrease in interest rates as the most significant issue of the previous twelve months. If we liked that change, we should have loved the past year. The prime rate has decreased an additional 75 basis points. The yield of the one, five, and ten-year U.S. Treasury obligations, and the 30- year residential mortgage, have each declined approximately one percentage point, and are at levels not seen in recent history. This friendly environment enabled us to earn, prior to the income tax adjustment described in Note 11, $18,378 for the fiscal year ending September 30. This net income represents a 1.89% ROA, and 17.93% ROE; both which compare favorably with other banks and thrifts in our area, and throughout the country. Our residential lending and construction loan departments had record volume years, and further developed our reputation as the most active lender to all areas of real estate in the market. On December 19, 2002, we completed the purchase of CBES Bancorp, Inc. This company had a reputation developed over seventy years as an excellent place to deposit savings, and to borrow for the purchase of real estate. We intend to continue this tradition, and expect Excelsior Springs to be a great addition to our company. We welcome their depositors, borrowers, and employees. Again this year, we experienced very little growth in total assets. While we have profited greatly from the low interest rate environment, we continually position ourselves for the eventual return to a more normal interest rate structure, and are ever aware that the dramatic increase in real estate prices will not continue endlessly. As in previous years, we are optimistic about the future, and appreciate your continued support. Sincerely, /s/ David H. Hancock David H.

("the Company") was formed in April 1998 to become a unitary thrift holding company of North American Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("the Bank" or "North American"). The Company's principal business is to provide banking services through the Bank. Specifically, the Bank obtains savings and checking deposits from the public, then uses those funds to originate and purchase real estate loans and other loans. The Bank also purchases mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and other investment securities from time to time as conditions warrant. In addition to customer deposits, the Bank obtains funds from the sale of loans held-for-sale, the sale of securities available-for-sale, repayments of existing mortgage assets, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). The Bank's primary sources of income are interest on loans, MBS, and investment securities plus customer service fees and income from lending activities. Expenses consist primarily of interest payments on customer deposits and other borrowings and general and administrative costs. The Bank operates eight deposit branch locations, six residential loan origination branch offices, and one residential construction loan origination office, primarily in the greater Kansas City area. Consumer loans are also offered through the Bank's branch network. Customer deposit accounts are insured up to allowable limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), a division of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and the FDIC. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS We may from time to time make written or oral "forward-looking statements", including statements contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

These forward-looking statements include statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions, that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors, some of which are beyond our control. The words "may", "could", "should", "would", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "plan" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements: - - the strength of the U.S. economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations; - - the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board; - - the effects of, and changes in, foreign and military policy of the United States Government; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; - - the timely development and acceptance of our new products and services and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors' products and services; - - the willingness of users to substitute competitors' products and services for our products and services; - - our success in gaining regulatory approval of our products, services and branching locations, when required; - - the impact of changes in financial services' laws and regulations, including laws concerning taxes, banking,securities and insurance; - - technological changes; - - acquisitions and dispositions; - - changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and - - our success at managing the risks involved in our business. This list of important factors is not exclusive. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company or the Bank. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets as of September 30, 2002, were $978.2 million, an increase of $6.2 million from the prior year-end. Average interest- earning assets decreased $47.0 million from the prior year to $924.0 million. 4 <Page> As the Bank originates loans each month, management evaluates the existing market conditions to determine which loans will be held in the Bank's portfolio and which loans will be sold in the secondary market. Loans sold in the secondary market are sold with servicing released or converted into mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and sold with the servicing retained by the Bank. At the time of each loan commitment, a decision is made to either hold the loan for investment, hold it for sale with servicing retained, or hold it for sale with servicing released. Management monitors market conditions to decide whether loans should be held in the portfolio or sold and if sold, which method of sale is appropriate. During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Bank originated $522.7 million in mortgage loans held for sale, $468.9 million in mortgage loans held for investment, and $24.4 million in other loans. This total of $1,016.0 million in loan originations was an increase of $49.1 million over the prior fiscal year. Included in the $73.6 million in loans held for sale as of September 30, 2002, are $15.2 million in residential mortgage loans held for sale with servicing released. All loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The balance of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2002, was $839.3 million, an increase of $35.7 million from September 30, 2001. During fiscal 2002, total originations and purchases of mortgage loans and other loans held for investment were $514.2 million. The gross balance of loans on business properties was $391.4 million at September 30, 2002, compared to $314.0 million as of the previous year end. The gross balance of construction and development loans was $207.7 million at September 30, 2002, a decrease of $9.6 million. The balance of mortgage servicing rights decreased $5.1 million during fiscal 2002, a result of increased amortization due to an increase in current loan prepayment and estimated future prepayment on the underlying mortgage loans. In relationship to this decrease, the total balance of mortgage loans serviced for others was $371.6 million, a decrease of $219.7 million from the prior fiscal year-end. Total liabilities were $868.8 million at September 30, 2002, a decrease of $7.8 million from the previous year. Average interest- costing liabilities during fiscal year 2002 were $842.4 million, a decrease of $64.7 million from fiscal 2001. Accrued expenses and other liabilities were $6.7 million at September 30, 2002, an increase of $3.8 million from September 30, 2001. This was due primarily to the recording of $2.0 million derivative instrument for commitments in sell loans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Additionally, the liability for amounts due on loans serviced for others increased $2.0 million due to the increased repayment volume at year end. Total customer deposit accounts as September 30, 2002, were $549.4 million, a decrease of $26.6 million from the prior year-end. The total change in customer deposits was comprised of a decrease of $49.9 million in certificates of deposit, offset by increases of $5.0 million in demand deposit accounts, $15.8 million in savings accounts and $2.5 million in money market demand accounts. The average interest rate on customer deposits at September 30, 2002, was 2.78%, a decrease of 177 basis points from the prior year-end. The average balance of customer deposits during fiscal 2002 was $567.7 million, a decrease of $48.7 million from fiscal 2001. Advances from the FHLB were $295.2 million at September 30, 2002, an increase of $21.7 million from the prior fiscal year-end. During fiscal year 2002, the Bank borrowed $224.0 million of new advances and made $202.3 million of repayments. Management continues to use FHLB advances as a primary funding source to provide operating liquidity and to fund the origination of mortgage loans. During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company repurchased a total of 112,248 shares of its common stock at a cost of $1.9 million. Also during fiscal 2002, the Company paid a total of $4.9 million in cash dividends to its stockholders. NET INTEREST MARGIN The Bank's net interest margin is comprised of the difference ("spread") between interest income on loans, MBS, and investments and the interest cost of customer deposits, FHLB advances, and other borrowings. Management monitors net interest spreads and, although constrained by certain market, economic, and competition factors, it establishes loan rates and customer deposit rates that maximize net interest margin. During fiscal year 2002, average interest-earning assets exceeded average interest-costing liabilities by $81.6 million, which was 8.6% of average total assets. In fiscal year 2001, average interest-earning assets exceeded average interest-costing liabilities by $63.9 million, which was 6.3% of average total assets. 5 <Page> The table below presents the total dollar amounts of interest income and expense on the indicated amounts of average interest-earning assets or interest-costing liabilities, with the average interest rates for the year and at the end of each year. Average yields reflect yield reductions due to non-accrual loans. Average balances and weighted average yields at year-end include all accrual and non-accrual loans.

Total interest income for the year ended September 30, 2002, was $72.7 million, a decrease of $12.6 million (15%) over fiscal year 2001. $4.3 million of this decrease was the result of a decrease in average interest-earning assets of $47.0 million during the period from $971.0 million during fiscal 2001 to $924.0 million during fiscal 2002. The average yield on assets decreased during fiscal 2002 to 7.86% from 8.79% during fiscal 2001, which also resulted in a decrease in total interest income of $8.5 million. Interest income on loans decreased $11.5 million to $70.7 million in fiscal 2002, compared to $82.2 million during fiscal 2001. Approximately $4.0 million of this decrease was the result of a decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding of $44.0 million over the prior period. An additional decrease of $7.8 million resulted from an 85 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans. The weighted average rate on loans receivable at the year ended September 30, 2002, was 7.34%, a 72 basis point decrease from September 30, 2001. Interest on MBS declined during fiscal year 2002, primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of MBS of $8.3 million. In recent years, North American has focused its growth on the commercial real estate, residential construction, and residential "whole loan" portfolios, so there have been no purchases of MBS. Management plans to continue using MBS repayments as a source of funding for loan originations. Total interest expense during the year ended September 30, 2002, decreased $16.8 million (34%) from the prior year. Specifically, interest on customer and brokered deposit accounts decreased $12.0 million due to a decrease in the average balance of $48.7 million and a 167 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-costing liabilities. The average rate paid on FHLB advances decreased 139 basis points and the average balance decreased $15.9 million. Management continues to use FHLB advances as a primary source of short-term financing. The Bank's net interest income is impacted by changes in market interest rates, which have varied greatly over time. Changing interest rates also affect the level of loan prepayments and the demand for new loans. Management monitors the Bank's net interest spreads (the difference between yields received on assets and paid on liabilities) and, although constrained by market conditions, economic conditions, and prudent underwriting standards, it offers deposit rates and loan rates that maximize net interest income. Management does not predict interest rates, but instead attempts to fund the Bank's assets with liabilities of a similar duration to minimize the impact of changing interest rates on the Bank's net interest margin. Since the relative spread between financial assets and liabilities is constantly changing, North American's current net interest spread may not be an indication of future net interest income. The provision for losses on loans was $557,000 during the year ended September 30, 2002, compared to $460,000 during fiscal 2001. The allowance for loan losses was $5.9 million or 0.64% of the total loan portfolio and approximately 92% of total nonaccrual loans. This compares with an allowance for loan losses of $5.8 million or 0.65% of the total loan portfolio and approximately 85% of the total nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2001. 7 <Page> Total other income for fiscal year 2002 was $12.0 million, a decrease of $32,000 from the amount earned in fiscal year 2001. Specifically, the impairment provision on mortgage servicing rights decreased $2.0 million. Customer service fees increased $779,000 from fiscal 2001. The provision for losses on real estate owned decreased $376,000 due primarily to a recovery realized on the sale of a seven story parking garage in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Other income increased $554,000 primarily due to a $629,000 increase in loan prepayment penalties and the $633,000 effect of recording the net fair value of certain loan-related commitments in accordance with certain aspects of FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which were offset by a $795,000 increase in expense on real estate owned related to a hotel in Kansas City, Missouri that the bank foreclosed on late in fiscal 2001. These increases were offset by a $531,000 impairment loss on mortgage back securities in fiscal 2002. Additionally, in fiscal 2001, the Bank recorded a gain of $4.1 million on the sale of their Leawood, Kansas branch office. Since January 1, 2001, the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") has decreased the discount rate (the rate member banks pay to borrow from the Federal Reserve) from 6.0% to 0.75% in December 2002. Market interest rates and indices, including residential mortgage rates, have generally decreased in response. The decreases in residential mortgage rates have greatly increased the level of mortgage refinancing activity and resulted in a greatly increased level of mortgage prepayments. Since mortgage prepayment estimates and actual prepayments are significant components used to calculate the market value of mortgage servicing rights and their amortization, they have had a significant negative impact on the Company's earnings during fiscal 2002 and 2001. This was partially offset by an increase in mortgage loan origination volume, and ultimately the gains on sale of that increased production. The balance of mortgage servicing rights was $3.0 million and $8.0 million at September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2002 were $21.6 million, up $1.2 million from the prior year. This is due primarily to an increase in commission based compensation related to mortgage banking of $322,000 as a result of the higher level of loan origination volume. Commission paid on loans originated for the Bank's portfolio are deferred and amortized into interest income on a level yield over the life of the loan. Additionally, advertising expenses increased $207,000, and other expenses increased $501,000 primarily due to an increase in printing costs and other variable costs related to the higher loan origination volume. Income tax expense was $9.6 million, a decrease of $707,000 from the prior year. This decrease was due to a $1.5 million reduction in the tax liability resulting from a conclusion of certain items and related current assessment of outstanding tax matters. COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND 2000 For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, the Company had net income of $16.4 million, or $1.91 per share, compared to net income $14.7 million, or $1.66 per share in the prior year. Total interest income for the year ended September 30, 2001, was $85.3 million, an increase of $6.3 million (8%) over fiscal year 2000. $8.3 million of this increase was the result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $95.7 million during the period from $875.3 million during fiscal 2000 to $971.0 million during fiscal 2001. The average yield on assets decreased during fiscal 2001 to 8.79% from 9.02% during fiscal 2000, which resulted in an offsetting decrease in total interest income of $1.6 million. Interest income on loans increased $6.1 million to $82.2 million in fiscal 2001, compared to $76.1 million during fiscal 2000. Approximately $7.5 million of this increase was the result of an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding of $81.7 million over the prior period, offset by a decrease of $1.2 million as a result of a 15 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans. The weighted average rate on loans receivable at the year ended September 30, 2001, was 8.06%, a 69 basis point decrease from September 30, 2000. Interest on MBS declined during fiscal year 2001, primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of MBS of $5.2 million Total interest expense during the year ended September 30, 2001, increased $6.7 million (15%) from the same period in the prior year. Specifically, interest on customer and brokered deposit accounts increased $2.0 million due to an increase in the average balance of $23.6 million and a 14 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-costing liabilities. The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased 10 basis points and the average balance increased $70.7 million. 8 <Page> The provision for losses on loans was $460,000 during the year ended September 30, 2001, compared to $600,000 during fiscal 2000. Total other income for fiscal year 2001 was $12.0 million, an increase of $2.6 million from the amount earned in fiscal year 2000. Specifically, gains on loans held for sale increased $4.8 million due to an increase in the volume of loans sold. Customer fees and charges increased $0.8 million. During fiscal 2001, the Bank recorded a gain of $4.1 million on the sale of the Bank's Leawood, Kansas branch office. These increases were offset by a decrease in loan servicing fees of $5.8 million as a result of an increase in amortization of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, plus an increase in impairment provision on mortgage servicing rights of $0.8 million. The increased amortization and impairment of mortgage servicing rights were both a result of increases in actual and estimated future prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans. Total general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2001 were $20.4 million, up $0.3 million from the prior year. Specifically, the increase in commission based compensation related to mortgage banking of $1.7 million as a result of the higher level of loan origination volume. This was offset by decreases in other compensation expense of $253,000, advertising expenses of $198,000, and other expenses of $746,000. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT Management recognizes that there are certain market risk factors present in the structure of the Bank's financial assets and liabilities. Since the Bank does not have material amounts of derivative securities, equity securities, or foreign currency positions, interest rate risk ("IRR") is the primary market risk that is inherent in the Bank's portfolio. The objective of the Bank's IRR management process is to maximize net interest income over a range of possible interest rate paths. The monitoring of interest rate sensitivity on both the interest-earning assets and the interest-costing liabilities are key to effectively managing IRR. Management maintains an IRR policy, which outlines a methodology for monitoring interest rate risk. The Board of Directors reviews this policy and approves changes on a quarterly basis. The IRR policy also identifies the duties of the Bank's Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO"). Among other things, the ALCO is responsible for developing the Bank's annual business plan and investment strategy, monitoring anticipated weekly cashflows, establishing prices for the Bank's various products, and implementing strategic IRR decisions. On a quarterly basis, the Bank monitors the estimate of changes that would potentially occur to its net portfolio value ("NPV") of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items assuming a sudden change in market interest rates. Management presents a NPV analysis to the Board of Directors each quarter and NPV policy limits are reviewed and approved. The following table is an interest rate sensitivity analysis, which summarizes information provided by the OTS, which estimates the changes in NPV of the Bank's portfolio of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items given a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. These computations estimate the effect on the Bank's NPV of an instantaneous and sustained change in market interest rates of plus and minus 300 basis points, as well as the Bank's current IRR policy limits on such estimated changes. The computations of the estimated effects of interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including a constant relationship between the levels of various market interest rates and estimates of prepayments of financial assets. The OTS compiled this information using data from the Bank's Thrift Financial Report as of September 30, 2002. The model output data associated with the -200 and -300 basis point scenarios was suppressed because of the relatively low current interest rate environment. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands. <Table> <Caption> Changes in Net Portfolio Value NPV as % of PV of Assets Market ------------------------------------ Board approved Interest rates $ Amount $ Change % Change Actual minimum - ---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ + 3% 147,870 (13,670) -8% 15.2% 6% + 2% 154,362 (7,178) -4% 15.5% 6% + 1% 158,182 (3,358) -2% 15.6% 7% no change 161,540 -- -- 15.7% 8% - 1% 168,982 7,442 +5% 16.1% 8% - 2% -- -- -- -- 8% - 3% -- -- -- -- 8% </Table> 9 <Page> Management cannot predict future interest rates and the effect of changing interest rates on future net interest margin, net income, or NPV can only be estimated. However, management believes that its overall system of monitoring and managing IRR is effective. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The consolidated financial statements and related data presented 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 changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, most of the Bank's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Except for inflation's impact on general and administrative expenses, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Bank's performance than do the effects of inflation. However, the level of interest rates may be significantly affected by the potential changes in the monetary policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in an attempt to impact inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Changing interest rates impact the demand for new loans, which affect the value and profitability of North American's loan origination department. Rate fluctuations inversely affect the value of the Bank's mortgage servicing portfolio because of their impact on mortgage prepayments. Falling rates usually stimulate a demand for new loans, which makes the mortgage banking operation more valuable, but also encourages mortgage prepayments, which depletes the value of mortgage servicing rights. Rising rates generally have the opposite effect on these operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Effective July 18, 2001, the OTS adopted a rule that removed the regulation to maintain a specific average daily balance of liquid assets, but retained a provision that requires institutions to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure their safe and sound operation. North American maintains a level of liquid assets adequate to meet the requirements of normal banking activities, including the repayment of maturing debt and potential deposit withdrawals. The Bank's primary sources of liquidity are the sale and repayment of loans, retention or newly acquired retail deposits, and FHLB advances. Management continues to use FHLB advances as a primary source of short-term funding. At September 30, 2002, the Bank had available advances at FHLB of $47.3 million. As a secondary source of liquidity, the Bank may purchase brokered deposit accounts. The OTS also requires thrift institutions to maintain specified levels of regulatory capital. As of September 30, 2002, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded all minimum capital requirements, which consist of three components: tangible, core, and risk-based. A schedule, which more fully describes the Bank's regulatory capital requirements, is provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Fluctuations in the level of interest rates typically impact prepayments on mortgage loans and mortgage related securities. During periods of falling rates, these prepayments increase and a greater demand exists for new loans. The availability of customer deposits is partially impacted by area competition. Management is not currently aware of any other market or economic conditions that could materially impact the Bank's future ability to meet obligations as they come due. The following table discloses payments due on the Company's contractual obligations at September 30, 2002: <Table> <Caption> Due in Due from Due from Due in Total < 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years > 5 years ---------------------------------------------------------- Advances from FHLB $ 295,192 291,293 630 697 2,572 Operating Leases 1,231 414 589 228 -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Total contractual obligations $ 296,423 291,707 1,219 925 2,572 ========================================================== </Table> CRITICAL ACOOUNTING POLICIES The Company has identified the accounting policies below as critical to the Company's operations and to understanding the Company's consolidated financial statements. Following is an explanation of the methods and assumptions underlying their application. 10 <Page> ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES Management records an Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ("ALLL") sufficient to cover current net charge-offs and an estimate of probable losses based on an analysis of risks that management believes to be inherent in the loan portfolio. The ALLL recognizes the inherent risks associated with lending activities but, unlike a specific allowance, has not been allocated to particular problem assets but to a homogenous pool of loans. Management analyzes the adequacy of the allowance on a monthly basis and believes that the Bank's specific loss allowances and ALLL are adequate. While management uses information currently available to determine these allowances, they can fluctuate based on changes in economic conditions and changes in the information available to management. Also, regulatory agencies review the Bank's allowances for loan loss as part of their examination, and they may require the Bank to recognize additional loss provisions based on the information available at the time of their examinations. Management estimates the required level of ALLL using a formula based on various subjective and objective factors. ALLL is established and maintained in the form of a provision on loss charged to earnings. Based on its analysis, management may determine that ALLL is above appropriate levels. If so, a negative loss provision would be recorded to reduce the ALLL. This could occur due to significant asset recoveries or significant reductions in the level of classified assets. Each quarter management assesses the risk of the assets in the loan portfolio using historical loss data and current economic conditions in order to determine impairment of the various loan portfolios and adjusts the level of ALLL. At any given time, the ALLL should be sufficient to absorb at least all estimated credit losses on outstanding balances over the next twelve months. When considering the adequacy of ALLL, management's evaluation of the asset portfolio has two primary components: foreclosure probability and loss severity. Foreclosure probability is the likelihood of loans not repaying in accordance with their original terms, which would result in the foreclosure and subsequent liquidation of the property. Loss severity is any potential loss resulting from the loan's foreclosure and subsequent liquidation. Management calculates estimated foreclosure frequency and loss severity ratios for each homogenous loan pool based upon historical data plus an estimate of certain subjective factors including future market trends and economic conditions. These ratios are applied to the balances of the homogeneous loan pools to determine the adequacy of the ALLL each month. In addition to analyzing homogenous pools of loans for impairment, management reviews individual loans for impairment each month. A loan becomes impaired when management believes it will be unable to collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan. If a loan is impaired, the Bank records a specific allowance equal to the excess of the loan's carrying value over the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate based on the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans on residential properties with greater than four units and loans on construction/development and commercial properties are evaluated for impairment on a loan by loan basis. VALUCATION OF MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS The Bank creates mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") through the securitization and sale of residential mortgage loans. MSRs are recorded at cost based upon the relative fair values of the servicing rights on the underlying loans. The fair value is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows at the market rate of interest. These rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of expected net servicing income or loss. The Bank evaluates the carrying value of MSRs on a monthly basis based on their estimated fair value. For purposes of evaluating and measuring impairment of MSRs, the Bank stratifies the rights based on their predominant risk characteristics. Management considers the significant risks to be loan type, period of origination and stated interest rate. If the estimated fair value, using a discounted cash flow methodology, is less than the carrying amount of the portfolio, the portfolio is written down to the amount of the discounted expected cash flows utilizing a valuation allowance. The Bank utilizes consensus market prepayment assumptions and discount rates to evaluate its capitalized servicing rights, which considers the risk characteristics of the underlying servicing rights. Prepayment assumptions have the greatest impact on the market value of MSRs. Generally, if current rates are lower than the rates on the underlying loans, prepayments will accelerate, reducing the value of the MSRs. The Bank utilizes prepayment assumptions compiled by the mortgage research departments of several large broker/dealers. The measurement of the fair value of MSRs is limited by the conditions existing and the assumptions utilized as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may not be appropriate if applied at a different point in time. 11 <Page> NASB Financial, Inc. and Subsidiary Consolidated Balance Sheets <Table> <Caption> September 30, ----------------------- 2002 2001 -----------------------

====================================================================== </Table> See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 16 <Page> (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NASB Financial, Inc. (the "Company"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, North American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank"), and the Bank's wholly- owned subsidiary, Nor-Am Service Corporation. All significant inter- company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand plus interest- bearing deposits in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. The Bank had checks outstanding in excess of the balance in their accounts at Federal Home Loan Bank of $7.8 million at September 30, 2002. Deposits in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines totaled $12.2 million as of September 30, 2001. SECURITIES AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Debt securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale. As of September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company had no assets designated as trading. Securities and mortgage-backed securities classified as available for sale are recorded at their fair values, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Premiums and discounts are recognized as adjustments to interest income over the life of the securities using a method that approximates the level yield method. Gains or losses on the disposition of securities are based on the specific identification method. Market prices are obtained from broker-dealers and reflect estimated offer prices. To the extent management determines a decline in value in a security or mortgage-backed security available for sale to be other than temporary, the Bank will include such expense in the consolidated statements of income. MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts, which are recognized as adjustments to interest income over the life of the securities using the level-yield method. To the extent management determines a decline in value in a mortgage-backed security held to maturity to be other than temporary, the Company will adjust the carrying value and include such expense in the consolidated statements of income. LOANS RECEIVABLE HELD FOR SALE At the time of origination, management designates as held for sale those loans that it does not intend to hold to maturity. Accordingly, such loans are carried at the lower of amortized cost (outstanding principal balance adjusted for unamortized deferred loan fees and costs) or market value. Market values for such loans are determined based on sale commitments or dealer quotations. Gains or losses on such sales are recognized using the specific identification method. Interest, including amortization and accretion of deferred loan fees and costs, is included in interest income. LOANS RECEIVABLE HELD FOR INVESTMENT, NET Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal less an allowance for loan losses, undisbursed loan funds and unearned discounts and loan fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs. Interest on loans is credited to income as earned and accrued only when it is deemed collectible. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. As a general rule, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash may be applied as reductions to the principal balance, interest in arrears or recorded as income, depending on Bank management's assessment of the ultimate collectibility of the loan. Nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and the full payment of principal and interest is expected. Net loan fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as yield adjustments to interest income using the level-yield method over the contractual lives of the related loans. 17 <Page> PROVISIONS FOR LOAN LOSSES The Bank considers a loan to be impaired when management believes it will be unable to collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan. If a loan is impaired, the Bank records a loss valuation equal to the excess of the loan's carrying value over the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate based on the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. One-to-four family residential loans and consumer loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Loans on residential properties with greater than four units, on construction and development and commercial properties are evaluated for impairment on a loan by loan basis. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank's past loan loss experience, known and inherent losses in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. Assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires making material estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, that may be susceptible to significant change. In management's opinion, the allowance, when taken as a whole, is adequate to absorb reasonable estimated loan losses inherent in the Bank's loan portfolio. REAL ESTATE OWNED Real estate owned represents foreclosed assets held for sale and is initially recorded at fair value as of the date of foreclosure less any estimated disposal costs (the "new basis") and is subsequently carried at the lower of the new basis or fair value less selling costs on the current measurement date. Adjustments for estimated losses are charged to operations when the fair value declines to an amount less than the carrying value. Costs and expenses related to major additions and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. Applicable gains and losses on the sale of real estate owned are recognized when the asset is disposed depending on the adequacy of the down payment and other requirements. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of premises and equipment is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets (three to forty years) using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on dispositions are credited or charged to earnings as incurred. INCOME TAXES The Company files a consolidated Federal income tax return with its subsidiaries using the accrual method of accounting. The Company provides for income taxes using the asset/liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The Bank's bad debt deduction for the years ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, was based on the specific charge off method. The percentage method for additions to the tax bad debt reserve was used prior to the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. Under the current tax rules, Banks are required to recapture their accumulated tax bad debt reserve, except for the portion that was established prior to 1988, the "base-year." The recapture of the excess reserve will be completed over a six-year phase-in-period that began with the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999. A deferred income tax liability is required to the extent the tax bad debt reserve exceeds the 1988 base year amount. Retained earnings include approximately $2 million representing such bad debt reserve for which no deferred taxes have been provided. Distributing the Bank's capital in the form of stock redemptions has caused the Bank to recapture a significant amount of its bad debt reserve prior to the phase-in period. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS Servicing assets and other retained interests in transferred assets are measured by allocating the previous carrying amount between the assets sold, if any, and retained interest, if any, based on their relative fair values at the date of the transfer, and servicing assets and liabilities are subsequently measured by (1) amortization in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or loss, and (2) assessment for asset impairment or increased obligation based on their fair values. Originated mortgage servicing rights are recorded at cost based upon the relative fair values of the loans and the servicing rights. Servicing release fees paid on comparable loans and discounted cash flows are used to determine estimates of fair values. Purchased mortgage servicing rights are acquired from independent third-party originators and are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. These rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of expected net servicing income or loss. 18 <Page> Impairment Evaluation - The Bank evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights on a periodic basis based on their estimated fair value. For purposes of evaluating and measuring impairment of capitalized servicing rights, the Bank stratifies the rights based on their predominant risk characteristics. The significant risk characteristics considered by the Bank are loan type, period of origination and stated interest rate. If the fair value estimated, using a discounted cash flow methodology, is less than the carrying amount of the portfolio, the portfolio is written down to the amount of the discounted expected cash flows utilizing a valuation allowance. The Bank utilizes consensus market prepayment assumptions and discount rates to evaluate its capitalized servicing rights, which considers the risk characteristics of the underlying servicing rights. During the year ended September 30, 2002, the value of mortgage servicing rights increased, which resulted in a recovery of valuation allowance of $1.1 million. During the years ended September 30, 2001, the Bank recorded an impairment loss on servicing rights of $972,000. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTSS The Bank regularly enters into commitments to originate and sell loans held for sale. Such commitments are considered derivative instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 138. These statements require the Bank to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. As of September 30, 2002, the net fair value of loan related commitments was $633,000. REVENUE RECOGNITION Interest income, loan servicing fees, customer service fees and charges and ancillary income related to the Bank's deposits and lending activities are accrued as earned. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling of interest method. The provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment approach. The provisions of this statement are required to be applied starting in fiscal year 2003. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 142 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for all financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will have a significant impact 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 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The provisions of this statement are effective for the Company's financial statements issued in fiscal year 2003. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2002, the FASB issued, SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions." This statement provides guidance on the accounting for the acquisition of a financial institution and applies to all acquisitions except those between two or more mutual enterprises. Those transition provisions are effective on October 1, 2002. The scope of SFAS No. 144 is amended to include long-term customer-relationship intangible assets such as depositor-and-borrower- relationship intangible assets and credit card-holder intangible assets. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 147 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. 19 <Page> USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Estimates were used to establish loss reserves, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, and fair values of financial instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts for 2001 and 2000 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information and a selection from a variety of valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in developing the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amount that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument presented as of September 30, 2002 and 2001: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets is a reasonable estimate of fair value. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE AND HELD TO MATURITY Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. When quoted market prices are unavailable, fair values are computed using consensus estimates of prepayment speeds and market spreads to treasury securities. STOCK IN FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ("FHLB") The carrying value of stock in Federal Home Loan Bank approximates its fair value. LOANS RECEIVABLE HELD FOR SALE Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices for loans with no current commitment to sell. Fair values of mortgage loans sold forward are based on the committed prices. LOANS RECEIVABLE HELD FOR INVESTMENT Fair values are computed for each loan category using market spreads to treasury securities for similar existing loans in the portfolio and management's estimates of prepayments. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS The estimated fair values of mortgage servicing rights are determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using a market rate of interest and consensus estimates of prepayment speeds. CUSTOMER DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS The estimated fair values of demand deposits and savings accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair values of certificates of deposit are computed at fixed spreads to treasury securities with similar maturities. ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK The estimated fair values of advances from FHLB are determined by discounting the future cash flows of existing advances using rates currently available for new advances with similar terms and remaining maturities. COMMITMENTS TO ORIGINATE, PURCHASE AND SELL LOANS The estimated fair value of commitments to originate, purchase, or sell loans is based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements and the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. 20 <Page> (2) SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE Summaries of securities available for sale are provided in the following tables.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Bank transferred a mortgage backed security with an amortized cost of $1.2 million from the held to maturity category to the available for sale category. Prior to the transfer, the security was deemed impaired and a loss of $311,000 was recorded to write it down to fair market value. Thus, there were no unrealized gains or losses at the date of transfer. The decision was made to transfer the security after it was determined that there was a significant deterioration in the underlying credit.

Whole loans and participations serviced for others were approximately $371.6 million and $591.3 million at September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. First mortgage loans were pledged to secure FHLB advances in the amount of approximately $596.4 million and $587.3 million at September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Aggregate loans to executive officers, directors and their associates, including companies in which they have partial ownership interest, did not exceed 5% of equity as of September 30, 2002 and 2001. Such loans were made under terms and conditions substantially the same as loans made to parties not affiliated with the Bank. As of September 30, 2002 and 2001, loans with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $6.4 million and $6.9 million, respectively, were on nonaccrual status. Gross interest income would have increased by $432,000, $422,000 and $264,000 for the years ended September 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, if the nonaccrual loans had been performing.

In the restructuring, the interest rate was reduced and accrued interest was capitalized to the loan balance. The Bank has a valuation allowance of $821,000 against this loan, which results in a net carrying value of $2.7 million. During fiscal 2000, the Bank restructured a $1.1 million loan on a 57-unit motel and a separate restaurant building in Platte City, Missouri. The borrower sold the motel during fiscal 2002 to a third party who was financed by the Bank. Subsequently, the Bank sold its remaining interest in the secured portion of the loan, leaving an unsecured loan receivable of $69,000. Management believes this will be recovered from excess funds escrowed by a third party with regard to an outstanding tax lien on the property. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion is secured by real estate.

(13) REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements as administered by Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below). The Bank's primary regulatory agency, the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), requires that the Bank maintain minimum ratios of tangible capital (as defined in the regulations) of 1.5%, core capital (as defined) of 4%, and total risk- based capital (as defined) of 8%. The Bank is also subject to prompt corrective action capital requirement regulations set forth by the FDIC. The FDIC requires the Bank to maintain a minimum of Tier 1, total and core capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of core capital (as defined) to adjusted tangible assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of September 30, 2002, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements, to which it is subject. As of September 30, 2002 and 2001, the most recent guidelines from the OTS categorized the Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. Management does not believe that there are any conditions or events occurring since notification that would change the Bank's category. 30 <Page> The following tables summarize the relationship between the Bank's capital and regulatory requirements.

In addition to the branch building, the sale included $52 million in customer deposits, on which the sale price was primarily based. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain for the Bank of $4.1 million. This amount has been included as other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Since the branch sale was primarily comprised of customer deposit liabilities, the Bank paid cash to the buyer at settlement. To fund the sale, the Bank sold two separately identified portfolios of residential mortgage loans. Pursuant to such sale, during the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Bank transferred the following residential loan portfolios from the held for investment category to the held for sale category: 1) $57 million of fixed rate loans with 15-year original maturities that were approximately 5 to 6 years old, and 2) $11 million of fixed rate loans with 30-year original maturities that were approximately 2 years old. This transfer of loans to the held for sale category and their subsequent sale was for the express purpose of funding the branch sale. 31 <Page> (15) EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PLAN Substantially all of the Bank's full-time employees participate in a 401(k) retirement plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is administered by American United Life Insurance Company ("AUL"), through which employees can choose from a variety of retail mutual funds to invest their fund contributions. Under the terms of the Plan, the Bank makes monthly contributions for the benefit of each participant in an amount that matches one-half of the participant's contribution, not to exceed 3% of the participants' monthly base salary, provided that the participant makes a monthly contribution of at least 1% of his or her monthly base salary and no greater than 15%. All contributions made by participants are immediately vested and cannot be forfeited. Contributions made by the Bank, and related earnings thereon, become vested to the participants according to length of service requirements as specified in the Plan. Any forfeited portions of the contributions made by the Bank and the allocated earnings thereon are used to reduce future contribution requirements of the Bank. The Plan may be modified, amended or terminated at the discretion of the Bank. The Bank's contributions to the Plan amounted to $262,000, $276,000, and $227,000, for the years ended September 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. These amounts have been included as compensation and fringe benefits expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. (16) STOCK OPTION PLAN The Bank maintains a stock option plan ("Option Plan") through which options to purchase up to 10% of the number of shares of common stock originally issued, as adjusted for a 4-for-1 stock split in March 1999 and the stock dividends discussed below, were granted to officers and employees of the Bank. Options were granted for a period of ten years. The option price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. As of September 30, 2002, the time frame for issuing new option agreements under the Option Plan had expired. The following table summarizes Option Plan activity during fiscal 2002, 2001, and 2000. The number of shares and price per share have been adjusted to reflect the four-for-one stock split in fiscal 1999. Weighted avg.

For purposes of computing the pro forma effects of stock option grants under the fair value accounting method, the fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Had compensation cost for the Option Plan been determined in accordance with the fair value accounting method prescribed under SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net income and net income per share on a pro forma basis would have been as presented in the following table. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands, except per share data. 2002 2001 2000 ------------------------------ Net Income: As reported $ 19,878 16,351 14,721 Pro forma 19,874 16,327 14,691 Basic earnings per share: As reported $ 2.36 1.91 1.66 Pro forma 2.36 1.91 1.66 Diluted earnings per share: As reported 2.35 1.90 1.63 Pro forma 2.35 1.90 1.63 (17) SEGMENT INFORMATION In accordance with SFAS No. 131, the Company has identified two principal operating segments for purposes of financial reporting: Banking and Mortgage Banking. These segments were determined based on the Company's internal financial accounting and reporting processes and are consistent with the information that is used to make operating decisions and to assess the Company's performance by the Company's key decision makers. The Mortgage Banking segment originates mortgage loans for sale to investors and for the portfolio of the Banking segment. The Banking segment provides a full range of banking services through the Bank's branch network, exclusive of mortgage loan originations. A portion of the income presented in the Mortgage Banking segment is derived from sales of loans to the Banking segment based on a transfer pricing methodology that is designed to approximate economic reality. The Other and Eliminations segment includes financial information from the parent company plus inter-segment eliminations. The following table presents financial information from the Company's operating segments for the years ended September 30, 2002, 2001, and 2000. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands. 33 <Page> Year ended Mortgage Other and September 30, 2002 Banking Banking Eliminations Consolidated - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net interest income $ 39,385 -- 276 39,661 Provision for loan losses 557 -- -- 557 Other income 6,369 14,425 (8,832) 11,962 General and admin.

These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk, which may exceed the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The contract amounts or notional amounts of those instruments express the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments. With regard to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees, the Bank's exposure to credit loss because of non-performance by another party is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. As of September 30, 2002, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate $38.0 million in commercial real estate loans, $90.6 million of fixed rate residential first mortgage loans and $23.5 million of adjustable rate residential first mortgage loans. Commercial real estate loan commitments have approximate average committed rates of 6.0%. Residential mortgage loan commitments have an approximate average committed rate of 5.9% and approximate average fees and discounts of 0.2%. The interest rate commitments on residential loans generally expire 60 days after the commitment date. Interest rate commitments on commercial real estate loans have varying terms to expiration. 34 <Page> At September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Bank had commitments to sell loans of approximately $142.8 million and $105.0 million, respectively. These instruments contain an element of risk in the event that other parties are unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In such event, the Bank's loans receivable held for sale would be exposed to market fluctuations. Management does not expect any other party to default on its obligations and, therefore, does not expect to incur any costs due to such possible default. Any unrealized loss on these commitment obligations is considered in conjunction with the Bank's lower of cost or market valuation on its loans receivable held for sale. (19) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following table presents the carrying values and fair values of the Company's financial instruments presented in accordance with SFAS No. 107. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands. <Table> <Caption> September 30, 2002 September 30, 2001 -------------------------- ------------------------- Estimated Estimated Carrying fair Carrying fair value value value value -------------------------- ------------------------- Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 4,168 4,168 16,043 16,043 Securities available for sale 14,635 14,635 5,014 5,014 Stock in Federal Home Loan Bank 15,173 15,173 13,676 13,676 Mortgage-backed securities: Available for sale 2,684 2,684 2,406 2,406 Held to maturity 1,483 1,544 6,864 7,462 Loans receivable: Held for sale 73,591 76,855 92,864 96,681 Held for investment 839,284 890,206 803,606 853,995 Mortgage servicing rights 2,957 2,957 8,008 8,008 Lending commitments on mortgage loans held for sale - fixed rate (1) 2,298 2,298 -- -- Lending commitments on mortgage loans held for sale - floating rate (1) 294 294 -- -- Financial Liabilities: Cash overdraft 7,764 7,764 -- -- Customer deposit accounts 549,437 542,411 576,040 561,293 Brokered deposit accounts -- -- 9,997 10,010 Advances from FHLB 295,192 298,512 273,471 280,351 Commitments to sell loans (1) 1,959 1,959 -- -- </Table> <Table> <Caption> September 30, 2002 September 30, 2001 -------------------------- ------------------------- Estimated Estimated Carrying fair Carrying fair value value value value -------------------------- ------------------------- Unrecognized financial instruments: Lending commitments - fixed rate, net $ 39,337 80 94,516 1,552 Lending commitments - floating rate 4,297 137 11,362 221 Commitments to sell loans -- -- 104,988 1,893 </Table> (1) In March 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board cleared guidance on when commitments are considered derivatives in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Such guidance stated that commitments to originate loans held for sale and commitments to sell loans are considered derivatives and should be recorded in the financial statements at fair value. The guidance was effective for the Company's quarter ended September 30, 2002. As a result of the implementation of this issue, the Company recorded an asset of $2.6 million, a liability of $2.0 million, and a net gain of $633,000 in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2002. The fair value estimates presented are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2002 and 2001. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair values, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since that date. Therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented above. 35 <Page> (20) INVESTMENT IN LLC During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company became a partner in NBH, LLC, which was formed for the purpose of purchasing and developing eighty-six acres of vacant land in Platte County, Missouri. The Company's initial investment in this partnership will be approximately $2.3 million, of which $200,000 was invested as of September 30, 2002.

The transaction value is estimated at $15.4 million. As of September 30, 2002, CBES had assets of $109.8 million and equity of $14.2 million. For the twelve month period ended September 30, 2002, CBES had a pretax net loss of $872,000.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 consolidated 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP November 26, 2002 Kansas City, Missouri 39 <Page> SUMMARY OF UNAUDITED QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The following tables include certain information concerning the quarterly consolidated results of operations of the Company at the dates indicated.
