Similar to last year, I'll note our results compared to recent years: Previous Five Years' -------------------- Fiscal 2007 Average ----------- ------- Net income (in thousands) $ 15,319 $ 23,119 Net interest income (in thousands) 41,679 47,924 Return on average equity 10.01% 16.97% Return on average assets 1.01% 1.77% The past year has been particularly difficult for NASB. While I am aware that most financial institutions have experienced lower returns, we don't expect to be graded on a curve, and are disappointed in these results. While we have continued to focus on the higher quality borrowers, we are predominantly a real estate lender, and no one in this space has proved to be immune from the difficulties presented by the recent environment. The following comments are intended to provide our shareholders with information as to how we have positioned ourselves, and to what degree the highly publicized residential real estate problems have impacted this company. First, you will note that we show ownership of mortgage-backed securities totaling approximately $81 million at year-end. Unrelated to the securities that have received so much publicity, and caused tremendous losses (both $ and jobs) at some institutions, our mortgage- backed assets are guaranteed by the government-sponsored enterprises (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). The other real estate sectors upon which we have focused are described on page six and in footnote five. We have committed approximately twenty-four percent of our total assets to residential development/construction lending. These loans are primarily to local builders with whom we have long-standing relationships, and are, for the most part, considered to be the preeminent companies in the Kansas City residential construction market. The few loans we have outside of our area are mostly participations in developments that are sponsored by national builders that are well capitalized, and expose us to areas that have more growth than the Kansas City market. While we are experiencing generally favorable results from these loans, sales have slowed considerably, and many builders are being challenged more than in previous years. According to the KC Area Realtors Association, resales of existing homes have recently declined by ~5%, and new home sales by ~30%. There is approximately a nine- month supply of new and used homes available, greater than the five to six months typically on the market. As new construction slows, this "excess" supply will diminish, but there is substantial debate whether the return to normal conditions will take several months, or a substantially longer period. As additionally described on page six and in footnote five, we have devoted approximately twenty-seven percent of our assets to permanent residential lending. Similar to lenders' experience throughout the United States, our delinquencies and foreclosures have increased during the past year; however, we expect our experience to remain acceptable in this area. For the past fifteen years we have originated residential loans to individuals that do not meet agency standards, but have substantial equity in their home, have sufficient documentable income with which to meet their mortgage obligations, or have other characteristics that make us think satisfactory repayment is likely. Over 95% of our portfolio is secured by first liens on the property. We have generally had higher standards for the second mortgages we have originated. For the most part, this strategy has been successful, and we have continued to not experience unacceptable losses in this area. 2 <Page> The other area of our emphasis is commercial real estate lending. This sector comprises approximately thirty-one percent of our assets, and consists of loans secured by a variety of property types, generally with long-term leases to substantial tenants. In almost every instance, we have the additional security of full recourse to one or more substantial individuals. Our experience to date has been very favorable. As stated above, no active real estate lender can be immune to the recent conditions in our various markets. Accordingly, as noted in the accompanying financial statements, we increased our loan loss reserves through a provision of $1.6 million during the past year. We will continue to adjust our reserves in the coming year as dictated by our experiences, and by market conditions. In addition to the challenging real estate markets, in the past year we have continued to face an unfavorable interest rate structure. At September 30, 2006, the spread between the three-month Treasury bill, and the ten-year note was a negative twenty-eight basis points. This spread was slightly positive at June 30, 2007, and the recent reductions in targets by the Federal Reserve Board caused this spread to be a positive 65 basis points at our year-end. While not a historically large difference, this change does provide some relief to lenders who typically create liabilities for periods shorter than loan terms. A large part of the better results in previous years, noted at the beginning of this letter, were achieved in a period when the referenced spread was in excess of 200 basis points. To meet these many challenges, we have an effective infrastructure and an experienced management team. We are committed to controlling our expenses, continuing to focus on maintaining high asset quality, and to making decisions that will ultimately enhance our shareholders' value. We are encouraged by the opportunities that await us in 2008, and, again this year, appreciate your continued support. Sincerely, /s/ David H. Hancock David H. Hancock Board Chairman 3 <Page> SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA The following tables include selected information concerning the financial position of NASB Financial, Inc., (including consolidated data from the operations of subsidiaries) for the years ended September 30.

("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 nine deposit branch locations, three residential loan origination branch offices, and one residential construction loan origination office, primarily in the greater Kansas City area. The Bank also operates one commercial real estate loan origination office at it's headquarters in Grandview, Missouri. Consumer loans are also offered through the Bank's branch network. Customer deposit accounts are insured up to allowable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF"), 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 may be included in this annual report to shareholders and in other communications by the Company, which are made in good faith by us pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 all-inclusive. 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. 5 <Page> FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets as of September 30, 2007, were $1,506.5 million, a decrease of $18.3 million from the prior year-end. Average interest- earning assets decreased $18.1 million from the prior year to $1,462.0 million. 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, 2007, the Bank originated $1,001.7 million in mortgage loans held for sale, $401.5 million in mortgage loans held for investment, and $9.1 million in other loans. This total of $1,412.3 million in loan originations was a decrease of $60.1 million over the prior fiscal year. Loans held for sale as of September 30, 2007, were $47.2 million, and consisted entirely of 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, 2007, was $1,277.5 million, a decrease of $18.2 million from September 30, 2006. This decrease related primarily to the Bank's construction and development portfolio and resulted from a general slowdown in the residential construction market. During fiscal 2007, total originations and purchases of mortgage loans and other loans held for investment were $410.7 million. The gross balance of loans on business properties was $490.0 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $482.0 million as of the previous year-end. The gross balance of construction and development loans was $476.1 million at September 30, 2007, a decrease of $29.9 million. The balance of mortgage servicing rights at September 30, 2007, was $911,000, a decrease of $178,000 from September 30, 2006. Originated mortgage servicing rights of $6,000 were capitalized during the year ended September 30, 2007. The total outstanding balance of mortgage loans serviced for others was $84.7 million, a decrease of $16.3 million from the prior fiscal year-end. The following graphs summarize the Company's total assets as of September 30, 2007 and 2006. Total Assets - Fiscal 2007 Percent of Asset Category Total Assets - -------------- ------------- Permanent loans on business properties 31% Permanent loans on residential properties 27% Construction and development loans 24% Cash and investments 9% Other loans 5% Other non-earning assets 4% ------ 100% ====== 6 <Page> Total Assets - Fiscal 2006 Percent of Asset Category Total Assets - -------------- ------------- Permanent loans on business properties 31% Permanent loans on residential properties 27% Construction and development loans 24% Cash and investments 9% Other loans 5% Other non-earning assets 4% ------ 100% ====== Total liabilities were $1,357.1 million at September 30, 2007, a decrease of $11.1 million from the previous year. Average interest- costing liabilities during fiscal year 2006 were $1,359.7 million, a decrease of $13.3 million from fiscal 2006. Total customer deposit accounts at September 30, 2007, were $722.1 million, a decrease of $697,000 from the prior year-end. The total change in customer deposits was comprised of a decrease of $7.4 million in savings accounts and a decrease of $1.4 million in money market demand accounts, offset by increases of $6.9 million in demand deposit accounts and $1.2 million in certificates of deposit. Additionally, the Company held a total of $133.4 million in brokered deposits at September 30, 2007, an increase of $5.2 million from September 30, 2006. The average interest rate on customer and brokered deposits at September 30, 2007, was 4.30%, an increase of 32 basis points from the prior year-end. The average balance of customer and brokered deposits during fiscal 2007 was $819.5 million, a decrease of $47.8 million from fiscal 2006. Advances from the FHLB were $458.9 million at September 30, 2007, a decrease of $40.4 million from the prior fiscal year-end. During fiscal year 2007, the Bank borrowed $353.7 million of new advances and made $393.8 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. Subordinated debentures were $25.8 million as of September 30, 2007. Such debentures resulted from the issuance of pooled Trust Preferred Securities through the Company's wholly owned statutory trust, NASB Preferred Trust I. The Trust used the proceeds from the offering to purchase a like amount of the Company's subordinated debentures. The debentures, which have a variable rate of 1.65% over the 3-month LIBOR and a 30-year term, are the sole assets of the Trust. The debentures are callable, in whole or in part, after five years of the issuance date. During the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company repurchased a total of 451,028 shares of its common stock at a cost of $16.4 million. Also during fiscal 2007, the Company paid a total of $7.3 million in cash dividends to its stockholders. 7 <Page> 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 2007, average interest-earning assets exceeded average interest-costing liabilities by $102.3 million, which was 6.7% of average total assets. In fiscal year 2006, average interest-earning assets exceeded average interest-costing liabilities by $107.1 million, which was 7.0% of average total assets. The net interest spread (earning yield less costing rate) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, was 2.53%, a decrease of 34 basis points from the prior year. The net interest spread for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, was 2.87%, a decrease of 60 basis points from the prior year. The downward trend in net interest margin is a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, generally rising interest rates and a flattening treasury yield curve. Management believes that the effect of these economic factors could cause this trend to continue, but is partially mitigated by the large percentage of assets held in adjustable rate instruments. 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. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

Total interest income for the year ended September 30, 2007, was $103.8 million, an increase of $4.7 million from fiscal year 2006. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased during fiscal 2007 to 7.10% from 6.70% during fiscal 2006, which resulted in an increase in interest income of $5.2 million. The average balance of interest- earning assets decreased from $1,480.1 million during fiscal 2006 to $1,462.0 million during fiscal 2007, resulting in a decrease in interest income of $577,000. 9 <Page> Interest income on loans increased $5.2 million to $99.1 million in fiscal 2007, compared to $93.8 million during fiscal 2006. $5.1 million of that increase resulted from a 38 basis point increase in the average yield on loans outstanding during the fiscal year. The weighted average rate on loans receivable at September 30, 2007, was 7.15%, a one basis point decrease from September 30, 2006. $195,000 of the increase in interest on loans receivable resulted from a $2.8 million increase in the average balance of loans outstanding over the prior year. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $1.0 million to $3.2 million in fiscal 2007, compared to $4.2 million during fiscal 2006. Of that decrease, $825,000 resulted from a $22.2 million decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities from the prior year and $224,000 resulted from a 20 basis point decrease in the average yield on mortgage-backed securities during the fiscal year. Total interest expense during the year ended September 30, 2007, increased $9.6 million from the prior year. Specifically, interest on customer and brokered deposit accounts increased $3.6 million during fiscal 2007. Of that increase, approximately $5.6 million resulted from a 64 basis point increase in the average rate paid on such interest-costing liabilities. This increase was partially offset by an approximate $1.6 million decrease which resulted from a $47.8 million decrease in the average balance of customer and brokered deposits accounts from the prior year. The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased 70 basis points, which resulted in an increase in interest on FHLB advances of approximately $3.4 million from fiscal year 2006. An additional increase of approximately $1.4 million resulted from a $30.9 million increase in the average balance of FHLB advances over the prior period. Management continues to use FHLB advances as a primary source of short-term financing. Interest expense on subordinated debentures increased $1.4 million due to a $20.2 million increase in the average balance of such interest-costing liabilities, which were issued in December 2006. 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 $1.6 million during the year ended September 30, 2007, compared to $745,000 during fiscal 2006. The allowance for loan losses was $8.1 million or 0.61% of the total loan portfolio and approximately 245% of total nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2007. This compares with an allowance for loan losses of $8.0 million or 0.59% of the total loan portfolio and approximately 125% of the total nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2006. The relatively small increase in the allowance for loan loss of $106,000 was the result of the aforementioned provision for loan loss resulting from management's analysis of the Bank's loan portfolios, largely offset by net charge-offs for the year of $1.5 million. Although the balance of the Bank's loan portfolios decreased during fiscal 2007, management determined that the slight increase in the allowance for loan loss was appropriate due to deteriorating conditions in the residential housing market. The provision for loss on loans related primarily to the charge-off of loans secured by residential construction properties and business properties. With regard to loan portfolio concentrations at September 30, 2007, loans secured by business properties made up thirty-three percent of the Bank's total loans receivable, and fifty-three percent of the allowance for loan losses was allocated to such loans. This compares to thirty-two percent of total loans receivable and fifty-seven percent of the allowance at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2007, loans secured by residential properties made up twenty-nine percent of the Bank's total loans receivable, and twelve percent of the allowance for loan losses was allocated to such loans. This compares to twenty-nine percent of total loans receivable and ten percent of the allowance at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2007, construction and development loans made up thirty-three percent of the Bank's total loans receivable, and twenty-one percent of the allowance for loan losses was allocated to such loans. This compares to thirty-four percent of total loans receivable and twenty-two percent of the allowance at September 30, 2006. Management believes that the quality of collateral, as well as general loan terms, of the Bank's loan portfolios have remained essentially unchanged from the prior year. Management also believes that the provision for loan losses is sufficient to provide for a level of loan loss allowance at year end that would adequately absorb all estimated credit losses on outstanding balances over the subsequent twelve-month period. Total other income for fiscal year 2007 was $21.2 million, a decrease of $3.3 million from the amount earned in fiscal year 2006. Specifically, provision for loss on real estate owned increased $1.6 million due to increased charge-offs on residential construction and business properties. Customer service fees and charges decreased $372,000 due primarily to a decrease in overdraft fees and return item charges. Loan service fees decreased $271,000 due primarily to an increase in amortization of capitalized servicing. Gain on sale of securities available for sale decreased $258,000 due to the fact that no securities were sold during fiscal 2007. Additionally, other income decreased $935,000 due to decreases in loan prepayment penalties, income from foreclosed assets held for sale, and income from the Company's investment in LLCs. 10 <Page> Total general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2007 were $36.3 million, a decrease of $919,000 from the prior year. Specifically, compensation and fringe benefits decreased $1.1 million due primarily to a decrease in employee benefit related costs and the closing of a residential loan origination office located in St. Louis, Missouri during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Other expense decreased $714,000 due primarily to a decrease in audit and consulting fees, as well as credit, appraisal, underwriting, legal and other costs related to mortgage banking operations and the construction and commercial real estate lending operations of the Bank. These decreases were offset by a $288,000 increase in commission-based mortgage banking compensations due primarily to an increase in mortgage-banking volume during fiscal 2007. Additionally, advertising and business promotion expense increased $565,000 due to increased costs related to the national mortgage banking operation and strategic direct marketing costs related to the retail banking operation. COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005 For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the Company had net income of $20.8 million, or $2.47 per share, compared to net income $25.8 million, or $3.06 per share in the prior year. Total interest income for the year ended September 30, 2006, was $99.1 million, an increase of $15.4 million from fiscal year 2005. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased during fiscal 2006 to 6.70% from 5.97% during fiscal 2005, which resulted in an increase in interest income of $8.5 million. The average balance interest- earning assets increased from $1,402.3 million during fiscal 2005 to $1,480.1 million during fiscal 2006, resulting in an additional increase in interest income of $6.0 million. Interest income on loans increased $16.5 million to $93.8 million in fiscal 2006, compared to $77.3 million during fiscal 2005. An increase of approximately $7.5 million resulted from a $117.7 million increase in the average balance of loans outstanding over the prior year. Additionally, an increase of $8.3 million resulted from a 68 basis point increase in the average yield on loans outstanding during the fiscal year. The weighted average rate on loans receivable at the year ended September 30, 2006, was 7.16%, a 66 basis point increase from September 30, 2005. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $1.5 million to $4.2 million in fiscal 2006, compared to $5.7 during fiscal 2005. This decrease was primarily the result of a $39.5 million decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities from the prior year. Total interest expense during the year ended September 30, 2006, increased $20.0 million (62%) from the prior year. Specifically, interest on customer and brokered deposit accounts increased $8.2 million due to a 112 basis point increase in the average rate paid on such interest-costing liabilities. An additional increase of approximately $3.1 million resulted from an increase in the average balance of customer and brokered deposit accounts of $133.7 million over the prior period. The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased 180 basis points, which resulted in an increase in interest on FHLB advances of approximately $7.8 million from fiscal year 2005. An additional increase of approximately $1.4 million resulted from a $50.8 million increase in the average balance of FHLB advances over the prior period. Management continues to use FHLB advances as a primary source of short-term financing. Interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $2.9 million due primarily to a $111.3 million decrease in the average balance of such interest- costing liabilities from the prior year. The provision for losses on loans was $745,000 during the year ended September 30, 2006, compared to $522,000 during fiscal 2005. The allowance for loan losses was $8.0 million or 0.59% of the total loan portfolio and approximately 125% of total nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2006. This compares with an allowance for loan losses of $7.5 million or 0.57% of the total loan portfolio and approximately 134% of the total nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2005. The increase in the allowance for loan loss of $455,000 resulted from the aforementioned provision for loan loss, which was partially offset by net loan charge-offs for the year of $290,000. The provision for loss on loans related primarily to increases in the balance of loans outstanding, which were secured by business properties, residential construction, and land development. With regard to loan portfolio concentrations at September 30, 2006, loans secured by business properties made up thirty-two percent of the Bank's total loans receivable, and fifty-seven percent of the allowance for loan losses was allocated to such loans. This compares to twenty-eight percent of total loans receivable and fifty-eight percent of the allowance at September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2006, loans secured by residential properties made up twenty-nine percent of the Bank's total loans receivable, and ten percent of the allowance for loan losses was allocated to such loans. This compares to thirty-five percent of total loans receivable and ten percent of the allowance at September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2006, construction and development loans made up thirty-four percent of the Bank's total loans receivable, and twenty-two percent of the allowance for loan losses was allocated to such loans. This compares to thirty-two percent of total loans receivable and nineteen percent of the allowance at September 30, 2005. 11 <Page> Total other income for fiscal year 2006 was $24.5 million, a decrease of $4.0 million from the amount earned in fiscal year 2005. Specifically, gain on sale of loans held for sale decreased $3.5 million due to a decrease in mortgage banking volume. Customer service fees and charges decreased $1.0 million due to a decrease in mortgage banking volume and a decrease in overdraft fees and return item charges. These decreases were offset by a $258,000 gain realized on the sale of securities available for sale. Additionally, loan service fees increased $252,000 due primarily to a decrease in amortization of capitalized servicing, and, recoveries on real estate owned increased $127,000 due recoveries realized on the sale of foreclosed assets held for sale in the current year. Total general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2006 were $37.2 million, a decrease of $1.6 million from the prior year. Specifically, compensation, fringe benefits, and commission-based mortgage banking compensation decreased $1.8 million due primarily to a decrease in mortgage banking volume. Advertising and business promotion decreased $347,000 due primarily to decreased volume in the national mortgage banking operation. These decreases were offset by a $362,000 increase in premises and equipment expense, which related primarily to the Company's new loan administration and construction lending facility that was completed in March 2005. Additionally, other expense increased $177,000 due to an increase in audit fees related to the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 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 that 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, 2007. The model output data associated with the -300 basis point scenario was suppressed because of the relatively low current interest rate environment. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands. <Table> <Caption> NPV as % of PV of Assets Changes in Net Portfolio Value ------------------------ Market ------------------------------------ Board approved Interest rates $ Amount $ Change % Change Actual minimum - ---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ + 3% 135,315 (35,303) -21% 9.4% 6% + 2% 149,298 (21,320) -12% 10.2% 6% + 1% 161,578 (9,040) -5% 10.9% 7% no change 170,618 -- -- 11.3% 8% - 1% 178,973 8,355 +5% 10.7% 8% - 2% 188,059 17,441 +10% 12.1% 8% - 3% -- -- -- -- 8% </Table> 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. 12 <Page> 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 of existing or newly acquired retail deposits, and FHLB advances. Management continues to use FHLB advances as a primary source of short- term funding. FHLB advances are secured by a blanket pledge agreement of the loan and securities portfolio, as collateral, supported by quarterly reporting of eligible collateral to FHLB. Available FHLB borrowings are limited based upon a percentage of the Bank's assets and eligible collateral, as adjusted by appropriate eligibility and maintenance levels. Management continually monitors the balance of eligible collateral relative to the amount of advances outstanding. At September 30, 2007, the Bank had available advances at FHLB of $573.8 million, and outstanding advances of $458.9 million. The Bank has established relationships with various brokers, and, as a secondary source of liquidity, the Bank may purchase brokered deposit accounts. At September 30, 2007, the Bank has $133.4 million in brokered deposits, and it could purchase up to an additional $299.0 million in brokered deposits and remain "well capitalized" as defined by the OTS. 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 Bank's ability to attract and retain customer deposits is partially impacted by area competition and by other alternative investment sources that may be available to the Bank's customers in various interest rate environments. Management is not currently aware of any other trends, market conditions, or other economic factors that could materially impact the Bank's primary sources of funding or affect its future ability to meet obligations as they come due. Although future changes to the level of market interest rates is uncertain, management believes its sources of funding will continue to remain stable during upward and downward interest rate environments. In the unlikely event of a significant change in the availability of the Bank's funding sources, the Bank could obtain funding through the various capital market alternatives available such as an issuance of corporate debt, commercial paper or fed funds. The OTS also requires thrift institutions to maintain specified levels of regulatory capital. As of September 30, 2007, 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. Under OTS regulations, there is no limit to the amount of capital that the Bank may distribute to the Company in the form of dividends. However, each dividend distribution is subject to a thirty-day review by the OTS, who can take exception to any proposed dividend. Declared dividends remain unpaid until management receives written notification of "no exception" from the OTS. 13 <Page> OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS Various commitments and contingent liabilities arise in the normal course of business, which are not required to be recorded on the balance sheet. The most significant of these are loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The bank had outstanding commitments to originate mortgage loans for its portfolio and standby letters of credit totaling $20.4 million and $10.5 million, respectively, at September 30, 2007. In addition, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate mortgage loans totaling $71.3 million at September 30, 2007, which it had committed to sell to outside investors. Since commitments may expire unused or be only partially used, these totals do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements. Management does not anticipate any material losses arising from commitments and contingent liabilities and believes that there are no material commitments to extend credit that represent risk of an unusual nature. Management anticipates that the Company will continue to have sufficient funds through repayments and maturities of loans and securities, deposits and borrowings, to meet its commitments. The following table discloses payments due on the Company's contractual obligations at September 30, 2007: <Table> <Caption> Due in Due from Due from Due in Total < 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years > 5 years ---------------------------------------------------------- Advances from FHLB $ 458,933 178,841 180,092 100,000 -- Subordinated debentures 25,774 -- -- -- 25,774 Operating leases 3,018 479 1,119 684 736 ---------------------------------------------------------- Total contractual obligations $ 487,725 179,320 181,211 100,684 26,510 ========================================================== </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. 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 objective factors such as historical data and loan characteristics, 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. 14 <Page> 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. 15 <Page> NASB Financial, Inc. and Subsidiary Consolidated Balance Sheets <Table> <Caption> September 30, ----------------------- 2007 2006 -----------------------

====================================================================== </Table> See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 20 <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. The consolidated financial statements do not include the accounts of our wholly owned statutory trust, NASB Preferred Trust I (the "Trust"). The Trust qualifies as a special purpose entity that is not required to be consolidated in the financial statements of NASB Financial, Inc. The Trust Preferred Securities issued by the Trust are included in Tier I capital for regulatory capital purposes. 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 totaling $18.8 million and $6.5 million as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") requires federally chartered savings banks to maintain non-interest-earnings cash reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts. Required reserves may be maintained in the form of vault cash, a non-interest- bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, or a pass-through account, as defined by FRB. At September 30, 2007, the Bank's reserve requirement was $5.0 million. 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, 2007 and 2006, 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 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. Loans held for sale 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. 21 <Page> 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. ALLOWANCE 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. FORECLOSED ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Foreclosed assets held for sale are initially recorded at fair value as of the date of foreclosure less any estimated selling costs (the "new basis") and are 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 realized 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 (from three to forty years for buildings and improvements, and from three to ten years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment) of the respective assets 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. INVESTMENT IN LLCs The Company is a partner in two limited liability companies, which were formed for the purpose of purchasing and developing vacant land in Platte County, Missouri. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. 22 <Page> STOCK OPTIONS The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan which is described more fully in Note 17. On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), "Share Based Payment (Revised 2004)" ("SFAS 123(R)"), which requires that compensation costs relating to share- based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The Company has adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized over the service period for all awards granted subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) as well as for the unvested portion of awards outstanding as of the Company's adoption of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective, results for prior periods have not been restated. Stock based compensation expense for stock options totaled $89 thousand ($55 thousand, net of tax) and $55 thousand ($34 thousand, net of tax) during the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company applied the recognition and measurement principals of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25 in accounting for its Option Plan, under which no compensation cost were recognized for stock option awards. 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, 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. 2005 --------- Net Income: As reported $ 25,826 Pro forma 25,813 Basic earnings per share: As reported $ 3.06 Pro forma 3.06 Diluted earnings per share: As reported $ 3.05 Pro forma 3.05 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, 2007 and 2006, 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 was 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 $3.7 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 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. 23 <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, 2007, the value of mortgage servicing rights increased, which resulted in a recovery of valuation allowance of $34,000. During the year ended September 30, 2006, the Bank recorded an impairment loss on servicing rights of $10,000. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS 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 and SFAS No. 149. These statements require the Bank to recognize all derivative instruments in the balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, the fair value of loan related commitments resulted in a net asset of $39,000 and a liability of $3,000, respectively. 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. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted- average common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average common shares and all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the year. Dilutive securities consist entirely of stock options granted to employees as incentive stock options under Section 442A of the Internal Revenue Code as amended. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share are presented in the following table. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands, except per share data.

FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements, in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company plans to adopt this statement on October 1, 2007, and does not believe that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No. 157), "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 2, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on the Company's financial statements. 24 <Page> In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB No. 108), which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of materiality assessment. Prior year misstatements must be considered in quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements and if the effect of those misstatements is material to the current year, the prior year financial statements must be corrected even though such revision was, and continues to be, immaterial to the prior year financial statements. SAB No. 108 was effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (SFAS No. 159), "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument and is irrevocable once made. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible instrument, changes in fair value must be reported as unrealized gains and loses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on the Company's financial statements, if implemented. 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 2006 and 2005 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, 2007 and 2006: 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. 25 <Page> 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 AND BROKERED 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. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES The estimated fair values of subordinated debentures is determined by discounting the future cash flows of existing debentures using rates currently available for new debentures with similar terms and remaining maturities. SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE The estimated fair values of securities sold under agreements to repurchase are determined by discounting the future cash flows of existing repurchase agreements using rates currently available for new repurchase agreements 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.

The decline in fair value is due to significant increases in interest rates, which have occurred since these securities were purchased. However, management believes that as these securities approach their reset dates, they will no longer be impaired. Should the impairment of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than- temporary impairment is identified. Management has the ability to hold these securities to maturity. The scheduled maturities of mortgage-backed securities available for sale at September 30, 2007, are presented in the following table.

The decision to make this transfer was based upon the fact that there were no foreseeable future events that would cause the Bank to sell these loans. The Bank has both the intent and ability to hold these loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity. The basis at which the loans were transferred was amortized cost, which was lower than market value at the time of transfer. Included in the loans receivable balances are participating interests in mortgage loans and wholly owned mortgage loans serviced by other institutions of approximately $80,000 and $119,000 at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Whole loans and participations serviced for others were approximately $84.7 million and $101.1 million at September 30, 2007 and 2006, 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 $785.6 million and $844.7 million at September 30, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007 and 2006. 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, 2007 and 2006, loans with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $3.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively, were on nonaccrual status. Gross interest income would have increased by $167,000, $255,000 million and $253,000 for the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, if the nonaccrual loans had been performing.

During fiscal 2005, the Company repurchased 18,000 shares of its own stock with a total value of $695,000 at the time of repurchase (15) 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, 2007, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements, to which it is subject. As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, 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. The following tables summarize the relationship between the Bank's capital and regulatory requirements. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

The Plan is administered by Standard Insurance Company, 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 50%, subject to certain limitations. 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 $324,000, $342,000, and $415,000 for the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. These amounts have been included as compensation and fringe benefits expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. (17) STOCK OPTION PLAN During fiscal year 1986, the Company's stockholders approved a stock option plan ("1986 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 stock dividends, were granted to officers and employees of the Bank. The time frame for issuing new options under the 1986 Option Plan has expired and, as of September 30, 2007, there are no options granted under this plan that remain outstanding. Options were granted for a period of ten years. The option price could not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. On January 27, 2004, the Company's stockholders approved a new equity stock option plan ("2004 Option Plan") through which options to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock may be granted to officers and employees of the Company. Options may be granted over 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. 38 <Page> The following table summarizes both 1986 and 2004 Option Plan activity during fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005. The number of shares and price per share have been adjusted to reflect the 4-for-1 stock split in fiscal 1999. All options outstanding at September 30, 2007, were granted under the 2004 Option Plan.

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 National Mortgage Banking segment originates mortgage loans via the internet primarily for sale to investors. The Local 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, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

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, 2007, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate $14.0 million in commercial real estate loans, $60.9 million of fixed rate residential first mortgage loans and $16.7 million of adjustable rate residential first mortgage loans. Commercial real estate loan commitments have approximate average committed rates of 8.0%. Residential mortgage loan commitments have an approximate average committed rate of 6.7% and approximate average fees and discounts of 0.73%. 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. At September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Bank had commitments to sell loans of approximately $74.6 million and $91.2 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. (20) 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.

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. (21) RESTATEMENT In connection with the preparation of the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, management reconsidered the classification of repayments on its loans held for sale in accordance with guidance under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows" ("SFAS 95"). The Company has historically classified principal repayments on its loans held for sale in the investing section of the statement of cash flows. The SEC has taken exception with this treatment, and informed the Company that principal repayments on loans held for sale should be classified in the operating section of the statement of cash flows in accordance with guidance under SFAS 95.
