NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—SELECTED ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial information of HF Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the interim periods have been included. Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. Interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general practice within the industry.

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”), HF Financial Group, Inc. (“HF Group”) and HomeFirst Mortgage Corp. (the “Mortgage Corp.”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mid America Capital Services, Inc. (“Mid America Capital”), Hometown Investment Services, Inc. (“Hometown”), Mid-America Service Corporation and PMD, Inc. The interim consolidated financial statements reflect the deconsolidation of the wholly-owned subsidiary trusts of the Company: HF Financial Capital Trust III (“Trust III”), HF Financial Capital Trust IV (“Trust IV”), HF Financial Capital Trust V (“Trust V”) and HF Financial Capital Trust VI (“Trust VI”). See Note 10 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential disclosure or recognition through February 11, 2011, the date of the filing of the consolidated financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Related to Loans and Leases Receivables and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, less the allowance for loan losses, and net of deferred loan origination fees, costs and discounts.

Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loan based upon the outstanding principal amount. Discounts and premiums on loans are amortized to income using the interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for prepayments.

Loans and leases are generally classified as nonaccrual when there are reasonable doubts as to the collectability of principal and/or interest and/or when payment becomes 90 days past due, except loans which are well secured and in the process of collection. Uncollectible interest on loans and leases that are impaired or contractually past due is charged off based on management’s periodic evaluation. The charge to interest income is equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received until, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is no longer in doubt, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

The Company’s leases receivable are classified as direct finance leases. Under the direct financing method of accounting for leases, the total net payments receivable under the lease contracts and the residual value of the leased equipment, net of unearned income, are recorded as a net investment in direct financing leases and the unearned income is recognized each month on a basis which approximates the interest method.

Table of Contents

The allowance for loan and lease losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is maintained at a level believed to be adequate to absorb probable and estimated losses inherent in the loan. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogenous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. In determining the general allowance management has segregated the loan portfolio by collateral type. This allows management to identify trends in borrower behavior and loss severity. A historical loss factor is computed for each collateral type. In determining the appropriate period of activity to use in computing the historical loss factor management considers trends in quarterly net charge-off ratios. In addition to the historical loss factor, management considers the impact of the following qualitative factors: changes in lending policies; procedures and practices; economic and industry trends and conditions; experience; ability and depth of lending management; level of and trends in past dues and delinquent loans; changes in the quality of the loan review system; changes in the value of the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans; changes in credit concentrations and portfolio size; and other external factors such as legal and regulatory.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of similar balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

NOTE 2—REGULATORY CAPITAL

The following table sets forth the Bank’s compliance with its minimum capital requirements for a well-capitalized institution at December 31, 2010:

	Amount		Percent
	(Dollars in Thousands)
Tier I (core) capital (to adjusted total assets):
Required	$	61,118	5.00	%
Actual	111,546		9.13
Excess over required	50,428		4.13

Total Risk-based capital (to risk-weighted assets):
Required	$	98,590	10.00	%
Actual	120,462		12.22
Excess over required	21,872		2.22

NOTE 3—EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding. The weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31,

Table of Contents

2010 and 2009 was 6,970,787 and 5,201,869, respectively. The weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was 6,958,545 and 4,616,130, respectively.

Dilutive earnings per common share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per common share except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive options outstanding had been exercised. The weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was 6,973,214 and 5,204,102, respectively. The weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was 6,959,652 and 4,622,984, respectively.

Management has implemented a process to identify securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves evaluation of the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, review of available information regarding the financial position of the issuer, monitoring the rating of the security, cash flow projections, and the Company’s intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity. To the extent the Company determines that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, an impairment loss is recognized.

For all securities that are considered temporarily impaired, the Company does not intend to sell these securities (has not made a decision to sell) and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost, which may occur at maturity. The Company believes that it will collect all principal and interest due on all investments that have amortized cost in excess of fair value that are considered only temporarily impaired.

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, gross proceeds from the securities sold at a gain were $5.3 million, resulting in a gain on sale of securities of $94,000. This compares to gross proceeds of $13.1 million, resulting in a gain on sale of securities of $603,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. No securities were sold for a loss during the second quarters of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010.

For the six months ended December 31, 2010, gross proceeds from the securities sold at a gain were $17.9 million, resulting in a gain on sale of securities of $491,000. This compares to gross proceeds of $24.2 million, resulting in a gain on sale of securities of $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. No securities were sold for a loss for the first six months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010.

The unrealized loss reported for U.S. government agencies relate to one security issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”). This unrealized loss is primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the contractual cash flows of this investment which is guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Management does not believe the unrealized loss as of December 31, 2010 represent an other-than-temporary impairment for this investment. The Company does not have the intent to sell this security (has not made a decision to sell) and has assessed that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell this security before anticipated recovery of fair value.

The unrealized losses reported for municipal bonds relate to 24 municipal general obligation or revenue bonds. The unrealized losses are primarily attributed to changes in credit spreads or market interest rate increases since the securities were originally acquired, rather than due to credit or other causes. Management does not believe any individual unrealized losses as of December 31, 2010 represent an other-than-temporary impairment for these investments. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities (has not made a decision to sell) and has assessed that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before anticipated recovery of fair value.

The unrealized losses reported for agency residential mortgage-backed securities relate to 23 securities issued by the FNMA, the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). These unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the contractual cash flows of those investments which are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Management does not believe any of these unrealized losses as of December 31, 2010 represent an other-than-temporary impairment for those investments. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities (has not made a decision to sell) and has assessed that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before anticipated recovery of fair value.

The unrealized losses reported for trust preferred securities are attributable to six rated pooled securities. Rating downgrades regarding these investments have occurred, placing each in a below investment grade rating. The securities

have an adjusted carrying cost of $9.3 million rated Ca. The market for these securities is currently inactive. The CUSIPs of the trust preferred securities are 74042TAE1, 740417AB6, 74042CAE8, 74041EAC9, 74041RAB2, and 55312HAE9. The Company performed assessments of available information for each security during the second quarter ended December 31, 2010, and also considered factors such as overall deal structure and its position within the structure, quality of underlying issuers within each pool, defaults and recoveries, loss severities and prepayments. Based upon scenarios developed in regard to this information, management compared the present value of best estimates of cash flows expected to be collected from each security at the security’s effective interest rate to the amortized cost basis of each security. Management determined that no trust preferred securities exhibited an other-than-temporary impairment credit loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. See Note 14 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement” for additional information related to the determination of fair value. The Company does not have the intent to sell these six securities (has not made a decision to sell) and has assessed that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before anticipated recovery of fair value. Within this segment, five securities with amortized cost of $7.5 million are quarterly variable-rate securities tied to 3-month LIBOR.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. For loans other than residential and consumer, the Company analyzes loans individually, by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes non-term loans, regardless of balance and term loans with an outstanding balance greater than $100,000. Each loan is reviewed annually, at a minimum. Specific events applicable to the loan may trigger an additional review prior to its scheduled review, if such event is determined to possibly modify the risk classification. The summary of the analysis for the portfolio is calculated on a monthly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass - Loans classified as pass represent loans that are evaluated and are performing under the stated terms. Pass rated assets are analyzed by the pay capacity, the current net worth, and the value of the loan collateral of the obligator.

Special Watch - Loans classified as special watch possess potential weaknesses that require management attention, but do not yet warrant adverse classification. While the status of a loan put on this list may not technically trigger their classification as Substandard or Doubtful, it is considered a proactive way to identify potential issues and address them before the situation deteriorates further and does result in a loss for the Bank.

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth, paying capacity of the obligor, or by the collateral pledged. Substandard loans must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt as originally contracted. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Table of Contents

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans that fall into this class are deemed collateral dependent and an individual impairment analysis is performed on all relationships. Loans in this category are allocated a specific reserve if the estimated discounted cash flows from the loan (or collateral value less cost to sell for collateral dependent loans) does not support the outstanding loan balance or charged off if deemed uncollectible.

The following tables summarize the credit quality indicators used to determine the credit quality by class within the portfolio segments:

At December 31, 2010, the Corporation has identified $26.0 million of loans as impaired which includes performing troubled debt restructurings. A loan is identified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement and thus are placed on non-accrual status. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis. The average carrying amount is calculated for each quarter by using the daily average balance, which is then averaged with the other quarters’ averages to determine an annual average balance.

calculate the amortization was 11.89% and 10.57%, respectively. Management utilized a discount rate of 9.00% and 10.00% for valuation purposes for both periods, respectively.

NOTE 7—SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s reportable segments are “banking” (including leasing activities) and “other.” The “banking” segment is conducted through the Bank and Mid America Capital and the “other” segment is composed of smaller non-reportable segments, the Company and intersegment eliminations.

The management approach is used as the conceptual basis for identifying reportable segments and is based on the way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions, allocating resources and monitoring performance, which is primarily based on products.

NOTE 8—DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN

The Company has a noncontributory (cash balance) defined benefit pension plan covering all employees of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries who have attained the age of 21 and have completed 1,000 hours of service in a plan year. The benefits are based on 6% of each eligible participant’s annual compensation, plus income earned in the accounts at a rate determined annually based on 30-year treasury note rates. The Company’s funding policy is to make the minimum annual required contribution plus such amounts as the Company may determine to be appropriate from time to time. One hundred percent vesting occurs after three years with a retirement age of the later of age 65 or three years of participation. The Company has adopted all plan provisions required by the Pension Protection Act of 2006. Information relative to the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s defined benefit plan is presented below:

The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2010, which are included in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, that it contributed $425,000 in fiscal 2010 to fund its qualified pension plan. During the second quarter of the fiscal 2011, the Company made contributions of $455,000 to fund its qualified pension plan. The Company anticipates no additional contributions will be made in fiscal 2011.

NOTE 9—SELF-INSURED HEALTHCARE PLAN

The Company has had a self-insured health plan for its employees, subject to certain limits, since January 1994. The Bank is named the plan administrator for this plan and has retained the services of an independent third party administrator to process claims and handle other duties for this plan. The third party administrator does not assume liability for benefits payable under this plan.

The Company assumes the responsibility for funding the plan benefits out of general assets; however, employees cover some of the costs of covered benefits through contributions, deductibles, co-pays and participation amounts. An employee is eligible for coverage upon completion of 30 calendar days of regular employment. The plan, which is on a calendar year basis, is intended to comply with, and be governed by, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The accrual estimate for pending and incurred but not reported health claims is based upon a pending claims lag report provided by a third party provider. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the accrual, unforeseen health claims could result in adjustments and net earnings being significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in estimating the accrual. Net healthcare costs are inclusive of health claims expenses and administration fees offset by stop loss and employee reimbursement.

NOTE 12—INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS

Interest rate swap contracts are entered into primarily as an asset/liability management strategy of the Company to modify interest rate risk. The primary risk associated with all swaps is the exposure to movements in interest rates and the ability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. The Company is exposed to losses if the counterparty fails to make its payments under a contract in which the Company is in a receiving status. The Company minimizes its risk by monitoring the credit standing of the counterparties. The Company anticipates the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy the obligations under the remaining agreements. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a $5.0 million notional amount to convert the variable-rate Trust Preferred VI security into a fixed-rate instrument for a term of five years at a fixed rate of 6.69%. The fair value of the derivative was an unrealized loss of $446,000 and $491,000 at December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement and will replace the existing swap agreement for the variable-rate Trust Preferred VI security upon the existing swap’s maturity. The $5.0 million notional amount fixed-rate instrument has a term of five years at a fixed rate of 5.95%, effective October 1, 2012. The fair value of the derivative was an unrealized loss of $195,000 at December 31, 2010 and an unrealized gain of $98,000 at December 31, 2009.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a $7.0 million notional amount to convert the variable-rate Trust Preferred IV security into a fixed-rate instrument for a term of three years at a fixed rate of 6.19%. The fair value of the derivative was an unrealized loss of $51,000 and $222,000 at December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement and will replace the existing swap agreement for the variable-rate Trust Preferred IV security upon the existing swap’s maturity. The $7.0 million notional amount fixed-rate instrument has a term of three years at a fixed rate of 5.93%, effective January 8, 2011. The fair value of the derivative was an unrealized loss of $326,000 at December 31, 2010 and an unrealized gain of $91,000 at December 31, 2009.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a $3.0 million notional amount to convert a portion of the variable-rate Trust Preferred III security into a fixed-rate instrument for a term of three years at a fixed rate of 6.70%. The Company also entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a $2.0 million notional amount to convert the remaining portion of variable-rate Trust Preferred III security into a fixed rate instrument for a term of four years at a fixed rate of 6.91%. The fair value of the $3.0 million notional derivative was an unrealized loss of $91,000 and $135,000 at December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The fair value of the $2.0 million notional derivative was an unrealized loss of $119,000 and $107,000 at December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements and will replace the existing swap agreements for the variable-rate Trust Preferred III security upon the existing swaps’ maturity. The $3.0 million notional amount fixed-rate instrument has a term of four years at a fixed rate of 6.58%, effective October 7, 2011. The $2.0 million notional amount fixed-rate instrument has a term of two years at a fixed rate of 6.58%, effective October 9, 2012. The fair values of the $3.0 million and $2.0 million notional amount derivatives were unrealized losses of $101,000 and $29,000, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement with a $10.0 million notional amount to convert the variable-rate Trust Preferred V security into a fixed-rate instrument. The $10.0 million notional amount fixed-rate instrument has a term of five years at a fixed rate of 5.68%, effective December 1, 2011. The fair value of the derivative was an unrealized loss of $477,000 at December 31, 2010 and an unrealized gain of $222,000 at December 31, 2009.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Bank entered into five forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $35.0 million to convert the variable-rate attributes of a pool of deposits into fixed-rate instruments. The $3.0 million notional amount fixed-rate instrument has a term of four years at a fixed rate of 2.20%, and became effective November 18, 2010. The $7.0 million notional amount fixed-rate instrument has a term of 30 months at a fixed rate of 2.09%, effective March 7, 2011. The $10.0 million notional amount fixed-rate instrument has a term of 42 months at a fixed rate of 2.44%, effective May 10, 2011. The $10.0 million notional amount fixed-rate instrument has a term of three years at a fixed rate of 2.56%, effective April 21, 2011. The $5.0 million notional amount fixed-rate instrument has a term of three years at a fixed rate of 2.30%, effective January 21, 2011. The fair values of the $3.0 million, $7.0 million, $10.0 million, $10.0 million and $5.0 million notional amount derivatives were unrealized losses of $113,000, $231,000, $368,000, $436,000 and $208,000, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

NOTE 14—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Bank’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

Table of Contents

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional 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.

Unless noted otherwise, the Bank does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents—The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.

Securities—Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices or whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, except for stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank for which fair value is assumed to equal cost.

Loans and leases, net—The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality. Leases are stated at cost which equals fair value.

Accrued interest receivable—The carrying value of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Servicing rights—Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest.

Interest rate swap contracts—Valuations of interest rate swap contracts are based on inputs observed in active markets for similar instruments. Typical inputs include the LIBOR curve, option volatility and option skew.

Off-balance sheet instruments - Loan commitments are negotiated at current market rates and are relatively short-term in nature. Therefore, the estimated value of loan commitments approximates the face amount. Rates for these commitments are set at time of loan closing, such that no adjustment is necessary to reflect these commitments at market value.

Deposits—The fair values for deposits with no defined maturities equal their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on a comparably termed wholesale funding alternative (i.e., FHLB borrowings).

Interest rate swap contracts on deposits—Valuations of interest rate swap contracts are based on inputs observed in active markets for similar instruments. Typical inputs include the LIBOR curve, option volatility and option skew.

Borrowed funds—The carrying amounts reported for variable rate advances approximate their fair values. Fair values for fixed-rate advances and other borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on advances and borrowings with corresponding maturity dates.

Subordinated debentures payable to trusts—Fair values for subordinated debentures are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates on comparable borrowing instruments with corresponding maturity dates.

Accrued interest payable and advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance—The carrying values of accrued interest payable and advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance approximate their fair values.

Fair Value Measurement

ASC Topic 820 applies the provisions of fair value measurement to non-financial assets and liabilities. In addition, ASC 820-10-65 defines fair value and establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair values represent the estimated price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of items:

Securities available for sale: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs), or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The Company outsources this valuation primarily to a third party provider which utilizes several sources for valuing fixed-income securities. Sources utilized by the third party provider include pricing models that vary based by asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information. This methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs. As further valuation sources, the third party provider uses a proprietary valuation model and capital markets trading staff. This proprietary valuation model is used for valuing municipal securities. This model includes a separate curve structure for Bank-Qualified municipal securities. The grouping of municipal securities is further broken down according to insurer, credit support, state of issuance, and rating to incorporate additional spreads and municipal curves.

The securities shown in Level 3 relate to trust preferred securities which are currently part of an inactive market. The inactivity was evidenced first by a significant widening of the bid-ask spread in the brokered markets in which these securities trade, and then by a significant decrease in the volume of trades relative to historical levels. Given conditions in the debt markets and the absence of observable orderly transactions in the secondary and new issue markets, management determined that an income valuation approach technique (present value technique) that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs will be equally or more representative of fair value than the market approach valuation technique. The results of third party valuation and valuation derived by management cash flow scenarios were weighted each at 50% and used to measure fair value for each security.

The approaches to determining fair value for the trust preferred securities included the following factors:

1. The credit quality of the collateral is estimated using average probability of default values.

Table of Contents

2. The loss given default was assumed to be 100% (i.e. no recovery) for third party valuations. Management utilized a range of loss given default based upon a review of the financial condition of underlying issuers in each pool.

3. The cash flows were forecasted for the underlying collateral and applied to each tranche to determine the resulting distribution among the securities.

4. The best estimates of expected cash flows were discounted to calculate the present value of the security. Management considered a range of discount rates based upon three factors: (1) a risk-free rate based on the rate of return on government debt securities, (2) the credit spread for BBB Bank Corporate Debt Index, and (3) a liquidity or “risk premium”.

5. The calculations were modeled in several thousand scenarios and the average price was used for the third party valuations. Management utilized an average price derived from various cash flow scenarios.

Interest rate swaps: The fair values of interest rate swaps relate to cash flow hedges of trust preferred debt securities issued by the Company, as well as cash flow hedges of a pool of variable rate deposits. The fair value is estimated by a third party using inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. These fair value estimations include primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves, and include the value associated with counterparty credit risk.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of the assets or liabilities of the Company that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:

Table of Contents

on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics, which the Company classifies as a Level 2 nonrecurring fair value measurement.

Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or market value. Market value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans. Collateral is primarily real estate and its fair value is generally determined based on real estate appraisals or other evaluations by qualified professionals, for which the Company classifies within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are written down to their fair value, less costs to sell, through the establishment of specific reserves or by recording charge-offs when the carrying value exceeds the fair value. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach, and/or cost approach were used to measure fair value and primarily included observable inputs such as recent sales of similar assets or observable market data for operational or carrying costs, for which the Company classifies within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of mortgage servicing rights do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available to allow for a “quoted price for similar assets” comparison. Accordingly, the Company relies on an internal discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its mortgage servicing rights. The Company uses a valuation model to project mortgage servicing rights cash flows based on the current interest rate scenario, which is then discounted to estimate an expected fair value of the mortgage servicing rights. The valuation model considers portfolio characteristics of the underlying mortgages, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, discount rate assumptions, other ancillary revenue, costs to service, and other economic factors. The Company reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the model to reflect market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing the mortgage servicing rights asset. In addition, the Company compares its fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data for mortgage servicing rights, where available, and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses the amortization method (i.e., lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value measured on a nonrecurring basis), not fair value measurement accounting, for its mortgage servicing rights assets.

Executive Summary

The Company’s net income for the first six months of fiscal 2011 was $2.2 million, or $0.32 in diluted earnings per common share, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.61 in diluted earnings per common share, for the same period of fiscal 2010.

Net interest income for the first six months of fiscal 2011 was $19.3 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 9.4%, compared to the same period a year ago. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities increased 7.2% and 5.3%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago. Yields on earning assets decreased to 4.81% for the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to 5.29% a year ago, a decrease of 48 basis points. For the same period, cost of deposits, which include all interest-bearing and noninterest bearing deposits, decreased to 1.13%, compared to 1.65%, a decrease of 52 basis points.

The net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis (“Net Interest Margin, TE”) for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was 3.33%, compared to 3.27% for the same period a year ago, an increase of 6 basis points. This increase was achieved even though an interest income reversal due to loans placed in nonaccrual status negatively impacted the Net Interest Margin, TE percentage by 7 basis points for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and an additional 7 basis points for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. A sustained overall decline in the interest rate yield curve has affected both the yield for the interest-earning assets and the interest-bearing liabilities, while the average balances for these categories increased over the comparable period of the prior year. Net Interest Margin, TE is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Analysis of Net Interest Income” for a calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure and for further discussion as to the reasons we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful.

The allowance for loan and lease losses increased $3.5 million to $13.0 million at December 31, 2010, compared to June 30, 2010. The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases was 1.49% as of December 31, 2010 compared to 1.37% and 1.07% at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Total nonperforming assets at December 31, 2010 were $31.7 million as compared to $23.1 million and $9.2 million at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 2.58% at December 31, 2010, compared to 1.84 % and 0.73% at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The overall increase in nonperforming assets was primarily attributed to the deterioration in certain dairy operations which caused seven of our dairy loan relationships to be moved to nonaccrual status in the first six months of fiscal 2011. The deterioration in the sector is related to continued low commodity prices for milk combined with increases in the cost of feed and operations. The specific valuation allowance on identified impaired loans increased to $3.9 million at December 31, 2010, compared to $2.9 million and $325,000 at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. All identified impaired loans are reviewed to assess the borrower’s inability to make payments under the terms of the loan and/or a shortfall in collateral value that would result in charging off the loan or the portion of the loan that was impaired.

Foreclosed real estate and other properties decreased by $782,000 to $164,000 at December 31, 2010. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2011, the Company has been able to sell most of the remaining assets that have been previously foreclosed. When compared to December 31, 2009, the Company has reduced these assets by $969,000.

The allowance for loan and lease losses is calculated based on loan and lease levels, loan and lease loss history over 12, 36, and 60 month time periods, credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio, and environmental factors such as economic health of the region and management experience. This risk rating analysis is designed to give the Company a consistent and systematic methodology to determine proper levels for the allowance at a given time. Management intends to continue its disciplined credit administration and loan underwriting processes and to remain focused on the creditworthiness of new loan originations. Management believes that it has identified the most significant nonperforming

Table of Contents

assets in its loan portfolio and is working to clarify and resolve the credit, credit administration, and environmental factor issues related to these assets to obtain the most favorable outcome for the Company.

The Company held $9.3 million in trust preferred securities at December 31, 2010 that are currently impaired under applicable accounting rules. These are comprised of pooled securities issued primarily by banks throughout the United States, and were downgraded to a below investment grade rating. The Company performed analysis to determine if any of the securities had a credit loss by estimating if any of the cash flows are not expected to be received as contracted. Based upon the analysis, the Company recognized no other-than-temporary impairment credit loss for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $2.2 million for the same period of the prior year. Fair value on these investments was recorded at $2.9 million at December 31, 2010.

Total deposits at December 31, 2010, were $910.3 million, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 0.4% from June 30, 2010. During the six month period, in-market deposits, exclusive of public funds, increased $6.0 million, while out-of-market deposits and public funds decreased $3.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively. The primary factor affecting interest expense was the decrease in the average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits for the six month period ended December 31, 2010, of 1.28% compared to 1.86% for the six month period ended December 31, 2009.

On January 31, 2011, the Company announced it will pay a quarterly cash dividend of 11.25 cents per common share for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The dividend will be paid on February 18, 2011, to stockholders of record on February 11, 2011.

The total risk-based capital ratio of 12.22% at December 31, 2010, increased by 54 basis points from 11.68% at June 30, 2010. Tier I capital increased primarily due to the net income of the Bank while a decline in the overall loan balances contributed to a reduction in the risk-weighted assets. These two factors led to the overall increase in this ratio. This continues to place the Bank in the “well-capitalized” category within OTS regulation at December 31, 2010 and is consistent with the “well-capitalized” OTS category in which the Company plans to operate. The Company historically has been able to manage the size of its assets through secondary market loan sales of single-family mortgages and student loans.

Noninterest income was $7.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $5.0 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $2.7 million. This increase is due primarily to net impairment credit losses recognized in earnings of $2.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010, compared to the current fiscal year for which no impairment credit losses were recorded. Net gain on sale of loans and fees on deposits increased $817,000 and $350,000, respectively, while net gain on sale of securities and trust income decreased $645,000 and $148,000, respectively.

Noninterest expense was $19.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $17.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $1.3 million, or 7.6%. The increase was attributed primarily to an increase in compensation and employee benefits of $777,000. Compensation costs grew as a result of sales staff increases, merit pay adjustments for existing staff and incentive pay accruals for non-executive staff.

The Bank is a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”), which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the FDIC and such insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, deposits of the Bank are permanently insured up to $250,000 per depositor for each account ownership category (prior to the legislation, the increased insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 was temporary until December 31, 2013). As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. On November 12, 2009, the FDIC Board approved a rule requiring prepayment of the quarterly assessments for the fourth quarter of calendar year 2009 and the entire calendar years of 2010, 2011, and 2012. On December 30, 2009, the Company paid $4.9 million, which was recorded as a prepaid asset and is being proportionally expensed as each quarter elapses. At December 31, 2010, the remaining balance recorded as a prepaid asset was $3.1 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the FDIC increased the regular assessment by 1.67 basis points, which would result in an increased annual cost of $156,000 when calculated using the December 31, 2010 deposits. The FDIC may impose additional special assessments, which would be recorded as they are incurred. The FDIC also instituted the Transaction Account Guarantee Program (“TAGP”). The TAGP extended the FDIC’s insurance to full coverage of non-interest bearing transaction accounts for participating institutions through December 31, 2010 at an annualized rate of 10 basis points on deposit balances in excess of the $250,000 insurance limit currently in place. On November 9, 2010, the FDIC approved a final rule to provide temporary unlimited coverage for non-interest bearing transaction accounts. This

Table of Contents

ruling revises the regulations to include non-interest bearing transaction accounts as a new temporary deposit insurance account category. This new rule also states that NOW and IOLTA accounts are not covered under the Dodd-Frank Act definition of noninterest-bearing transaction accounts and do not qualify for temporary unlimited coverage.

General

The Company is a financial services provider and, as such, has inherent risks that must be managed in order to achieve net income. Primary risks that affect net income include credit risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, regulatory compliance risk and reputation risk. The Company’s net income is derived by managing net interest margin, the ability to collect fees from services provided, by controlling the costs of delivering services and the management of loan and lease losses. The primary source of revenues comes from the net interest margin, which represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets (i.e. loans and investment securities) and expense on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e. deposits and borrowed funding). The net interest margin is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. Fees earned include charges for deposit services, trust services and loan services. Personnel costs are the primary expenses required to deliver the services to customers. Other costs include occupancy and equipment and general and administrative expenses.

Financial Condition Data

At December 31, 2010, the Company had total assets of $1.2 billion, a decrease of $27.0 million from the level at June 30, 2010. The decrease in assets in the six months of fiscal 2011 was due primarily to a decrease in net loans and leases receivable and loans held for sale of $15.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively. Total liabilities decreased $26.9 million at December 31, 2010, as compared to June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in advances from the FHLB and other borrowings of $23.4 million. Stockholders’ equity decreased $35,000 to $94.4 million at December 31, 2010.

Net loans and leases receivable decreased $15.2 million at December 31, 2010, as compared to June 30, 2010, due in part to decreases in one-to four-family loans of $6.3 million and a decrease of $3.8 million in consumer indirect loans, while there was an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses of $3.5 million. Loans held for sale decreased $8.3 million primarily due to the sale of loans previously held.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.8 million at December 31, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2010. See the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for an in-depth analysis in the change in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Deposits decreased $3.9 million at December 31, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2010. Certificates of deposits, money market, and noninterest bearing accounts decreased $11.5 million, $9.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively, since June 30, 2010. Interest-bearing checking and savings accounts increased $10.7 million and $14.1 million, respectively to partially offset the other account decreases during the six month period ended December 31, 2010. Public fund account balances, which are included in the various deposit categories, decreased $6.5 million to $208.4 million at December 31, 2010 in part as a result of seasonal fluctuations typical with these types of municipal deposits. Advances from the FHLB and other borrowings decreased $23.4 million at December 31, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2010, due to reductions in short-term borrowing as a result of decreases in loans and leases receivable, loans held for sale, and securities available for sale during the first six months of fiscal 2011.

Stockholders’ equity decreased $35,000 to $94.4 million at December 31, 2010, due in part to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive losses, net of deferred tax effect of $1.1 million during the first six months of fiscal 2011. Net income and stock issuances increased stockholders’ equity by $2.2 million and $421,000, respectively, while dividends related to the earnings reduced stockholders’ equity by $1.6 million during the period.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them.

Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields. The following table presents for the periods indicated, the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin. The table does not reflect any effect of income taxes, except where noted. Average balances consist of daily average balances for the Bank with simple average balances for all other subsidiaries of the Company. The average balances include nonaccruing loans and leases. The yields on loans and leases include origination fees, net of costs, which are considered adjustments to yield.

(6) Net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis (“Net Interest Margin, TE”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and adjusting for federal and state exemption of interest income and certain other permanent income tax differences. We believe that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis, and accordingly believe the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure may be useful for peer comparison purposes. As a non-GAAP financial measure, Net Interest Margin, TE should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. As other companies may use different calculations for Net Interest Margin, TE, this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income

The following schedule presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the increases and decreases due to fluctuating outstanding balances resulting from the levels and volatility of interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume).

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

GAAP requires management to utilize estimates when reporting financial results. The Company has identified the policies discussed below as Critical Accounting Policies because the accounting estimates require management to make certain assumptions about matters which may be uncertain at the time the estimate was made and a different method of estimating could have been reasonably made which could have a material impact on the presentation of the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. GAAP requires the Company to set aside reserves or maintain an allowance against probable loan and lease losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Management must develop a consistent and systematic approach to estimate the appropriate balances to cover the probable losses. Due to the uncertainty of future events, the approach includes a process that may differ significantly from other methodologies and still produce an estimate in accordance with GAAP.

The allowance is compiled by utilizing the Company’s loan and lease risk rating system, which is structured to identify weaknesses in the loan and lease portfolio. The risk rating system has evolved to a process whereby management believes the system will properly identify the credit risk associated with the loan and lease portfolio. Due to the stratification of loans and leases for the allowance calculation, the estimate of the allowance for loan and lease losses could change materially if the loan and lease risk rating system would not properly identify the strength of a large or a few large loan and lease customers. Although management believes it uses the best information available to determine

Table of Contents

the allowance, unforeseen market or borrower conditions could result in adjustments and net earnings being significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determinations.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSR”). The Company records a servicing asset for contractually separated servicing from the underlying mortgage loans. The asset is initially recorded at fair value and represents an intangible asset backed by an income stream from the serviced assets. The asset is amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income.

At each balance sheet date, the MSRs are analyzed for impairment, which occurs when the fair value of the MSRs is lower than the amortized book value. The Company’s MSRs are primarily servicing rights acquired on South Dakota Housing Development Authority first time homebuyers program. Due to the lack of quoted markets for the Company’s servicing portfolio, the Company estimates the fair value of the MSRs using present value of future cash flow analysis. If the analysis produces a fair value greater than or equal to the amortized book value of the MSRs, no impairment is recognized. If the fair value is less than the book value, an expense for the difference is charged to earnings by initiating a MSR valuation account. If the Company determines this impairment is temporary, any future changes in fair value are recorded as a change in earnings and the valuation. If the Company determines the impairment to be permanent, the valuation is written off against the MSRs, which results in a new amortized balance.

The Company has included MSRs as a critical accounting policy because the use of estimates for determining fair value using present value concepts may produce results which may significantly differ from other fair value analysis perhaps even to the point of recording impairment. The risk to earnings is when the underlying mortgages pay off significantly faster than the assumptions used in the previously recorded amortization. Estimating future cash flows on the underlying mortgages is a difficult analysis and requires judgment based on the best information available. The Company looks at alternative assumptions and projections when preparing a reasonable and supportable analysis. Based on the Company’s quarterly analysis of MSRs, there was no impairment to the MSRs at December 31, 2010.

Security Impairment. Management continually monitors the investment security portfolio for impairment on a security by security basis under the guidance of ASC Subtopic 320-10. Management has a process in place to identify securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, review of available information regarding the financial position of the issuer, monitoring the rating of the security, cash flow projections, and the Company’s intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity. To the extent we determine that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, an impairment loss is recognized. If the Company intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost, less any current period credit loss, the Company recognizes an other-than-temporary impairment in earnings for the difference between amortized cost and fair value. If we do not expect to recover the amortized cost basis, we do not plan to sell the security and if it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security before the recovery of it amortized cost, less any current period credit loss, the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment is bifurcated. For those securities, the Company separates the total impairment into a credit loss component recognized in earnings, and the amount of the loss related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income net of taxes.

The amount of the credit loss component of a debt security impairment is estimated as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security. Cash flow estimates for trust preferred securities are derived from scenario-based outcomes of forecasted default rates, loss severity, prepayment speeds and structural support.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurement. GAAP requires the Company to measure the fair value of financial instruments under a standard which describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 3 measurement includes significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. Although management believes that it uses a best estimate of information available to determine fair value, due to the uncertainty of future events, the approach includes a process that may differ significantly from other methodologies and still produce an estimate that is in accordance with GAAP.

Self-Insurance. The Company has a self-insured healthcare plan for its employees up to certain limits. To mitigate a portion of these risks, the Company has a stop-loss insurance policy through a commercial insurance carrier for coverage in excess of $75,000 per individual occurrence with a $1 million maximum aggregate limitation per member. The estimate of self-insurance liability is based upon known claims and an estimate of incurred, but not reported (“IBNR”) claims. IBNR claims are estimated using historical claims lag information received by a third party claims administrator. Due to the uncertainty of health claims, the approach includes a process which may differ significantly from other methodologies and still produce an estimate in accordance with GAAP. Although management believes it uses the best information available to determine the accrual, unforeseen health claims could result in adjustments to the accrual. These adjustments could significantly affect net earnings if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in estimating the accrual.

Asset Quality and Potential Problem Loans and Leases

Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and leases, accruing loans and leases delinquent more than 90 days and foreclosed assets) increased to $31.7 million at December 31, 2010 from $9.2 million at June 30, 2010, an increase of $22.5 million. Nonaccruing loans and leases increased $20.8 million from June 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010, to a total of $26.9 million. Accruing loans and leases delinquent more than 90 days increased $2.4 million to $4.6 million at December 31, 2010 from $2.2 million at June 30, 2010. Foreclosed assets decreased $782,000 to $164,000 at December 31, 2010, from $946,000 at June 30, 2010. In addition, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets, which is one indicator of credit risk exposure, was 2.58% at December 31, 2010, which is an increase from 0.73% as reported at June 30, 2010. The overall increase in nonperforming assets was primarily attributed to the deterioration in certain dairy operations which caused two of our dairy loan relationships to be moved to nonaccrual status this quarter. The deterioration in the sector is related to continued low commodity prices for milk combined with increases in the cost of feed and operations.

Nonaccruing loans and leases increased to $26.9 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $20.8 million compared to June 30, 2010. The loans and leases included in nonaccruing loans and leases at December 31, 2010 were eight loans totaling $646,000 secured by one- to four-family real estate, 27 loans totaling $12.9 million secured by agricultural real estate, 46 loans totaling $10.3 million secured by agricultural business assets, nine loans totaling $1.3 million secured by commercial real estate, 12 loans totaling $632,000 secured by commercial business assets, 21 leases totaling $364,000 secured by equipment, and 32 loans totaling $726,000 secured by consumer assets.

Accruing loans and leases delinquent more than 90 days increased $2.4 million, to $4.6 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $2.2 million at June 30, 2010. Included in accruing loans and leases delinquent more than 90 days at December 31, 2010 were five loans totaling $825,000 secured by commercial real estate, four loans for $431,000 secured by one-to four-family real estate, seven loans totaling $1.3 million secured by agricultural real estate, four loans totaling $97,000 secured by commercial business assets, 17 loans totaling $1.8 million secured by agricultural business assets, and seven loans totaling $150,000 of unsecured overdraft and reserve accounts.

The risk rating system in place is designed to identify and manage the nonperforming loans and leases. Commercial and agricultural loans and equipment finance leases will have specific reserve allocations based on collateral values or based on the present value of expected cash flows if the loans and leases are deemed impaired. Loans and leases that are not performing do not necessarily result in a loss.

As of December 31, 2010, foreclosed assets decreased by $782,000, or 82.7%, to $164,000 as compared to $946,000 at June 30, 2010. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2011, the Company has been able to sell most of the remaining assets that have been previously foreclosed. When compared to December 31, 2009, the Company has reduced these assets by $969,000. The balance at December 31, 2010 consisted of $102,000 of one- to four-family collateral owned, $32,000 of commercial business collateral owned, $15,000 of leased equipment owned, and $15,000 of consumer collateral owned.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had designated $72.5 million of its loans as classified, net of specific valuation allowance, which management has determined need to be closely monitored because of possible credit problems of the borrowers or the cash flows of the secured properties. The Company also classified $9.3 million of trust preferred securities in accordance with OTS debt security classification guidelines. At December 31, 2010, the Company had $9.8 million in multi-family, commercial business, commercial real estate and agricultural participation loans purchased, of which none were classified. These loans and leases were considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses is established based on management’s evaluation of the

Table of Contents

risks probable in the loan and lease portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan and lease activity. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans and leases for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers the estimated fair market value of the underlying collateral, present value of expected principal and interest payments, economic conditions, historical loss experience and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan and lease loss allowance.

The Company’s management believes the December 31, 2010 recorded allowance for loan and lease losses was adequate to provide for probable losses on the related loans and leases, although there can be no assurance the allowance will be adequate in the future. In addition, the Company’s determination as to the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by the Bank’s principal federal regulator, the OTS. The OTS began its periodic review in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 and management expects to receive the exam report in the third quarter. As an integral part of its examination, the OTS reviews our allowance for loan losses, and may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments at the conclusion of its examination.

In accordance with the Company’s internal classification of assets policy, management evaluates the loan and lease portfolio on a monthly basis to identify loss potential and determines the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses quarterly. Loans and leases are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal and/or interest becomes doubtful. Foreclosed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans and leases.

The allowance for loan and lease losses was $13.0 million at December 31, 2010, as compared to $8.5 million at December 31, 2009. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases was 1.49% at December 31, 2010, compared to 1.01% at December 31, 2009. The Company’s management has considered nonperforming loans and leases and potential problem loans and leases in establishing the allowance for loan and lease losses. The Company continues to monitor its allowance for probable loan and lease losses and make future additions or reductions in light of the level of loans and leases in its portfolio and as economic conditions dictate. The current level of the allowance for loan and lease losses is a result of management’s assessment of the risks within the portfolio based on the information revealed in credit reporting processes. The Company utilizes a risk-rating system on all commercial business, agricultural, construction and multi-family and commercial real estate loans, including purchased loans and leases. A periodic credit review is performed on all types of loans and leases to establish the necessary reserve based on the estimated risk within the portfolio. This assessment of risk takes into account the composition of the loan and lease portfolio, historical loss experience for each loan and lease category, previous loan and lease experience, concentrations of credit, current economic conditions and other factors that in management’s judgment deserve recognition.

Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value (less a deduction for disposition costs). Valuations are periodically updated by management and a specific provision for losses on such

Table of Contents

properties is established by a charge to operations if the carrying values of the properties exceed their estimated net realizable values.

Although management believes it uses the best information available to determine the allowances, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments and net earnings being significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determinations. Future additions to the Company’s allowances may result from periodic loan, property or collateral reviews which cannot be predicted in advance.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009

General. The Company’s net income was $1.7 million, or $0.25 in basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.38 in basic and diluted earnings per common share for the same period in the prior fiscal year. For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the return on average equity and the return on average assets was 7.36% and 0.55%, respectively, compared to 9.54% and 0.67%, respectively, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Interest, Dividend and Loan Fee Income. Interest, dividend and loan fee income was $14.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $14.3 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $336,000 or 2.3%. This decrease was primarily the result of declining average yields on the investment securities. Loans and leases receivable had an average yield of 5.62% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, which is 15 basis points less than the average yield of 5.77% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Investment securities had a decline in average yield of 138 basis points when comparing the second quarter of fiscal 2011 against the same period of the prior year. The average balance for loans and leases receivables for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $36.9 million, or 4.4% to $886.0 million when compared to the average balance of the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The average balance of investment securities increased $47.1 million, or 21.3% to $268.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, when compared to the average balance of the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The revenue decrease attributable to the overall declining yield for interest-earning assets was $1.3 million, which was partially offset by the revenue increase due to an increase in average interest-earning assets balances of $924,000.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $4.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $5.5 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $1.1 million or 20.4%. An $862,000 decrease in interest expense was the result of a decrease in the average rate paid of 1.23% on interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to an average rate paid of 1.80% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $46.1 million, or 6.3%, due in part to the increase in savings and checking deposits of $64.3 million and partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit average balances of $18.2 million. This resulted in a net savings in interest expense of $42,000 due to the change in the volume of deposits for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2010. The net effect of interest-bearing deposits on interest expense due to rate and volume was a decrease of $904,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010. FHLB advances and other borrowings increased by $11.2 million, or 5.8% for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2009, while the rate decreased to 2.87% from 3.48% for the respective quarters. The resulting increase in volume and decrease in rate accounted for an overall decrease in interest expense of $215,000. The average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities, which include interest-bearing deposits and liabilities, was 1.71% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2.28% for the same period in fiscal 2010.

Net Interest Income. The Company’s net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2010, increased $783,000 or 8.8%, to $9.6 million compared to $8.9 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The net increase in volumes of interest-earning assets in excess of increased volumes of interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a net increase in net interest income of $868,000. This was only minimally offset by the net effect of the reduction of rates earned for interest-earning assets in excess of the reduction of rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities and resulted in a net decrease in net interest income of $85,000. The Company’s Net Interest Margin, TE was 3.32% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 3.30% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Net Interest Margin, TE is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Analysis of Net Interest Income” for a calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure and for further discussion as to the reasons we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful.

experience. The evaluation takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan and lease portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and leases, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for losses on loans and leases charged to expense.

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a provision for losses on loans and leases of $1.3 million compared to $424,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. See “Asset Quality and Potentially Problem Loans and Leases” for further discussion.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income was $3.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared to $3.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $588,000. This increase is due primarily to an increase in net gain on sale of loans of $566,000. Fees on deposits increased $187,000, while a decrease in net impairment credit losses recognized in earnings of $340,000 compared to the prior year quarter also contributed to the overall increase. Loan servicing income and net gain on the sale of securities decreased by $71,000 and $509,000, respectively, which partially offset the increase in noninterest income when comparing the two periods.

Net gain on sale of loans increased $566,000, primarily due to an increase in mortgage loan activity and the related loan sales when comparing the quarter-over-quarter activity. There were no net impairment credit losses recognized in earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared to a net credit loss of $340,000 recognized in earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Fees on deposits increased by $187,000 to $1.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to a $43,000 increase in net fees from insufficient funds and depositor overdrafts, and a $124,000 net increase in income from point-of-sale purchases by customers and ATM service fees. Net gain on the sale of securities totaled $94,000, a decrease of $509,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. Loan servicing income decreased $71,000 from $488,000 to $417,000 when comparing the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011. The amortization for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $73,000 greater than the amount of amortization in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Amortization expense related to the servicing income increased from $384,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to $495,000 for second quarter of fiscal 2011. Prepayment speeds increased during this time which resulted in an increase in amortization.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $9.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $8.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $862,000, or 9.8%. Compensation and employee benefits increased $393,000 and professional fees increased $236,000 and were the primary factors in the overall increase.

Compensation and employee benefits were $5.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $393,000 or 7.6% when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009. Employee compensation increased $154,000, or 4.3% when compared to the prior year’s quarter due to annual salary increases and increased staffing needs. Performance-based incentives and commissions for sales staff increased $46,000 due to an increase in performance outcomes for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to the prior year’s quarter. Net healthcare costs, which are included in the total for compensation and employee benefits, increased $172,000, or 55.3% to $483,000 when comparing the three month period ended December 31, 2010 to the same quarter in the prior year. Healthcare utilization fluctuates from quarter to quarter, but the amount incurred for the current quarter is similar to the budgeted amount. The amount incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was lower than a typical quarter expense. Management currently believes the self-insured structure is a reasonable alternative to traditional healthcare plans over the long term. The level of healthcare costs which the Company incurs may vary from year to year.

Professional fees increased to $573,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 due in part to engagement of governance-related services by the Board of Directors. During the second quarter, legal fees were $323,000 as compared to $164,000 in the prior year quarter, while consulting costs increased to $136,000 versus $74,000 in the prior year period.

Income tax expense. The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $830,000 compared to $947,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The effective tax rate was 32.3% and 32.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009

General. The Company’s net income was $2.2 million, or $0.32 in basic and diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to net income of $2.8 million, or $0.61 in basic and diluted earnings per common share for the same period in the prior fiscal year. For the first six months of fiscal 2011, the return on average equity and the return on average assets was 4.71% and 0.36%, respectively, compared to 7.32% and 0.48%, respectively, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Interest, Dividend and Loan Fee Income. Interest, dividend and loan fee income was $28.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $29.0 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $778,000 or 2.7%. This decrease was primarily the result of declining average yields on the investment securities due in part to increased prepayment activity and amortization of premiums on agency mortgage-backed securities. Loans and leases receivable had an average yield of 5.63% for the six months ended December 31, 2010, which is 13 basis points less than the average yield of 5.76% for the six months ended December 31, 2009. Investment securities had a decline in average yield of 156 basis points when comparing the first six months of fiscal 2011 against the same period of the prior year. The average balance for loans and leases receivables for the first six month of fiscal 2011 increased $39.1 million, or 4.6% to $889.3 million when compared to the average balance of the first six months of fiscal 2010. The average balance of investment securities increased $40.1 million, or 17.9% to $263.5 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2011, when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The revenue decrease attributable to the overall declining yield for interest-earning assets was $2.6 million, which was partially offset by the revenue increase due to an increase in average interest-earning assets balances of $1.9 million.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $8.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $11.4 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $2.4 million or 21.4%. A $1.9 million decrease in interest expense was the result of a decrease in the average rate paid of 1.28% on interest-bearing deposits for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared to an average rate paid of 1.86% for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $50.8 million, or 7.0%, but the higher paying certificates of deposits average balance decreased during this period of $6.9 million. The increase in interest expense as a result of the increased volume was only $63,000 when compared to the same period of the prior year. The net effect of interest-bearing deposits on interest expense due to rate and volume was a decrease of $1.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The average balance of FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by $83,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009, while the average rate decreased to 2.95% from 3.57% for the related periods. The resulting reduction in volume and rate decreased interest expense by $621,000 due to these liabilities. The average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities was 1.76% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2.35% for the same period in fiscal 2010.

Net Interest Income. The Company’s net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2010, increased $1.7 million or 9.4%, to $19.3 million compared to $17.6 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The net increase in volumes of interest-earning assets in excess of increased volumes of interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a net increase in net interest income of $1.8 million. This was minimally offset by the net effect of the reduction of rates earned for interest-earning assets in excess of the reduction of rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities and resulted in a net decrease in net interest income of $140,000. The Company’s Net Interest Margin, TE was 3.33% for the six months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 3.27% for the six months ended December 31, 2009. Net Interest Margin, TE is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Analysis of Net Interest Income” for a calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure and for further discussion as to the reasons we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful.

Provision for Losses on Loans and Leases. The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level which is considered by management to be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans and leases that may become uncollectible, based on an evaluation of the collectability of loans and leases and prior loan and lease loss experience. The evaluation takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan and lease portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and leases, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for losses on loans and leases charged to expense.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a provision for losses on loans and leases of $4.6 million compared to $767,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009. See “Asset Quality and Potentially Problem Loans and Leases” for further discussion.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income was $7.6 million for the first two quarters of fiscal 2011, compared to $5.0 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $2.7 million. This increase is due primarily to a decrease in net impairment losses recognized in earnings of $2.2 million. Fees on deposits and net gain on sale of loans increased $350,000 and $817,000, respectively, which added to the increase over the prior year’s amount. Trust income and net gain on the sale of securities decreased by $148,000 and $645,000, respectively, which partially offset the increase in noninterest income when comparing the two periods.

There were no net impairment credit losses recognized in earnings for the first two quarters of fiscal 2011 compared to a net credit loss of $2.2 million recognized in earnings for the same period of fiscal 2010. Fees on deposits increased by $350,000 to $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to a $149,000 increase in net fees from insufficient funds and depositor overdrafts, and a $151,000 net increase in income from point-of-sale purchases by customers and ATM service fees. Net gain on sale of loans increased $817,000, primarily due to an increase in mortgage loan activity and the related loan sales when comparing the year-over-year activity. Net gain on the sale of securities totaled $491,000, a decrease of $645,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. Trust income decreased $148,000 from $464,000 to $316,000 when comparing the first six months of fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011. The prior year’s activity included a one-time estate fee of $79,000, which was not present in the current year’s activity.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $19.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $17.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $1.3 million, or 7.6%. Compensation and employee benefits and professional fees increased $777,000, and $227,000, respectively, and were the primary factors in the overall increase.

Compensation and employee benefits were $11.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $777,000 or 7.5% when compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009. Employee compensation increased $517,000, or 7.3% when compared to the prior year’s first six months due to annual salary raises and increased staffing needs for local and new market expansion. Performance-based incentives and commissions for sales staff increased $209,000 due to an increase in performance outcomes for the first two quarters of fiscal 2011 as compared to the prior year’s first six months. Net healthcare costs, which are included in the total for compensation and employee benefits, had a minimal increase of only $11,000 when comparing the six month period ended December 31, 2010 to the same quarter in the prior year. Management currently believes the self-insured structure is a reasonable alternative to traditional healthcare plans over the long term. The level of healthcare costs which the Company incurs may vary from year to year.

Professional fees increased to $1.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011 due in part to engagement of governance-related services by the Board of Directors. Legal fees were $589,000 as compared to $408,000 in the prior year period, while consulting costs increased to $217,000 versus $165,000 in the prior year.

Income tax expense. The Company’s income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2010 decreased by $296,000 to $953,000 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The effective tax rate was 29.9% and 30.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amount of permanent tax difference as a net deduction was a higher percentage to income before income taxes in the six month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, which reduced the overall effective tax rate from the Company’s anticipated amount of 34%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are earnings, in-market deposits, FHLB advances and other borrowings, repayments of loan principal, agency residential mortgage-backed securities and callable agency securities and, to a lesser extent, sales of mortgage loans, sales and maturities of securities, out-of-market deposits and short-term investments. While scheduled loan payments and maturing securities are relatively predictable, deposit flows and loan and security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. The Bank attempts to price its deposits to meet its asset/liability objectives consistent with local market conditions. Excess balances are invested in overnight funds.

Table of Contents

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and (v) the objectives of its asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations.

Although in-market deposits is one of the Bank’s primary source of funds, the Bank’s policy has been to utilize borrowings where the funds can be invested in either loans or securities at a positive rate of return or to use the funds for short-term liquidity purposes. As of December 31, 2010, the Bank had the following sources of additional borrowings:

· $15.0 million in an uncommitted, unsecured line of federal funds with First Tennessee Bank, NA;

· $20.0 million in an uncommitted, unsecured line of federal funds with Zions Bank;

· $67.5 million of available credit from the Federal Reserve Bank; and

· $83.5 million of available credit from FHLB of Des Moines (after deducting outstanding borrowings with FHLB of Des Moines).

The Bank may also seek other sources of contingent liquidity including additional federal funds purchased lines with correspondent banks and lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank. There were no funds drawn on the uncommitted, unsecured lines of federal funds with First Tennessee Bank, NA and Zions Bank at December 31, 2010. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Des Moines equal to 0.12% of the total assets of the Bank at December 31 annually. The Bank is also required to own activity-based stock, which is based on 4.45% of the Bank’s outstanding advances. These percentages are subject to change at the discretion of the FHLB Board of Directors.

The Company has a line of credit for $4.0 million with United Bankers’ Bank for liquidity needs, which was renewed and amended on October 1, 2010 to reduce the line of credit from $6.0 million to $4.0 million. The Company pledged 100% of the stock of the Bank as collateral on the line of credit. At December 31, 2010, there are no outstanding advances under this Loan Agreement and the note has a maturity of October 1, 2011. In connection with entering into the Loan Agreement, the Company also entered into a Commercial Pledge Agreement with the Lender, granting the Lender a first security interest in all of the stock of the Bank. The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default and affirmative covenants with which the Company and Bank were in compliance at December 31, 2010.

In addition to the above sources of additional borrowings, the Bank has implemented arrangements to acquire out-of-market certificates of deposit as an additional source of funding. As of December 31, 2010, the Bank had $19.4 million in out-of-market certificates of deposit.

The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate and purchase mortgage and commercial loans of $19.2 million and to sell mortgage loans of $20.5 million. Commitments by the Bank to originate loans are not necessarily executed by the customer. The Bank monitors the ratio of commitments to funding for use in liquidity management. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had no outstanding commitments to purchase investment securities available for sale.

The Company uses its capital resources to pay dividends to its stockholders, to support organic growth, to make acquisitions, to service its debt obligations and to provide funding for investment into the Bank of Tier 1 (core) capital.

Savings institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are required by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 to meet three regulatory capital requirements. If a requirement is not met, regulatory authorities may take legal or administrative actions, including restrictions on growth or operations or, in extreme cases, seizure. Institutions not in compliance may apply for an exemption from the requirements and submit a recapitalization plan. At December 31, 2010, the Bank met all current regulatory capital requirements.

Table of Contents

The minimum OTS Tier 1 (core) capital requirement for well-capitalized institutions is 5.00% of total adjusted assets for thrifts. The Bank had Tier 1 (core) capital of 9.13% at December 31, 2010. The minimum OTS total risk-based capital requirement for well-capitalized institutions is 10.00% of risk-weighted assets. The Bank had total risk-based capital of 12.22% at December 31, 2010.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Bank’s operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Bank are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Bank’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (ASC Topic 310). This guidance will require significant new disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables. The requirements are intended to enhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of loan and lease receivables. Under this statement, allowance for credit losses and fair value are to be disclosed by portfolio segment, while credit quality information, impaired financing receivables and nonaccrual status are to be presented by class of financing receivable. Disclosure of the nature and extent, the financial impact and segment information of restructured loans will also be required. The disclosures are to be presented at the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolio’s risk and performance. With the exception of the restructured loan information as deferred with the issuance of ASU 2011-01, the Company adopted this update effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

In January 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20” (ASC Topic 310). This guidance modified the effective date of compliance with disclosure requirements related to trouble debt restructure reporting previously indicated in ASU 2010-20. The new effective date for disclosing the required troubled debt restructuring information will be concurrent with the effective date of the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, which is anticipated to be for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the FASB issued several ASUs: ASU No. 2010-27 through ASU No. 2011-01. Except for ASU No. 2011-01, mentioned above, the other ASUs issued have minimal, if any, impact on the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company’s net income is largely dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities with short- and medium-term maturities mature or reprice more rapidly than its interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net income.

In an attempt to manage its exposure to change in interest rates, management monitors the Company’s interest rate risk. The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee meets periodically to review the Company’s interest rate risk position and profitability, and to recommend adjustments for consideration by executive management. Management also

Table of Contents

reviews the Bank’s securities portfolio, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the Board’s objectives in the most effective manner. In managing market risk and the asset/liability mix, the Bank has placed its emphasis on developing a portfolio in which, to the extent practicable, assets and liabilities reprice within similar periods. Notwithstanding the Company’s interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty which may have an adverse effect on net income.

The Company adjusts its asset/liability position to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, management may increase the Company’s interest rate risk position in order to increase its net interest margin. The Company’s results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between long- and short-term interest rates.

As set forth below, the volatility of a rate change, the change in asset or liability mix of the Company or other factors may produce a decrease in net interest margin in an upward moving rate environment even as the net portfolio value (“NPV”) estimate indicates an increase in net value. The inverse situation may also occur. One approach used by the Company to quantify interest rate risk is an NPV analysis. This analysis calculates the difference between the present value of the liabilities and the present value of expected cash flows from assets and off-balance sheet contracts. The following tables set forth, at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an analysis of the Company’s interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in NPV resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve. Management does not believe that the Company has experienced any material changes in its market risk position from that disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2010 or that the Company’s primary market risk exposures and how those exposures were managed during the three months ended December 31, 2010 changed significantly when compared to June 30, 2010.

Even if interest rates change in the designated amounts, there can be no assurance that the Company’s assets and liabilities would perform as set forth below. In addition, a change in U.S. Treasury rates in the designated amounts accompanied by a change in the shape of the Treasury yield curve would cause significantly different changes to the NPV than indicated below.

In managing market risk and the asset/liability mix, the Bank has placed an emphasis on developing a portfolio in which, to the extent practicable, assets and liabilities reprice within similar periods. The goal of this policy is to provide a relatively consistent level of net interest income in varying interest rate cycles and to minimize the potential for significant fluctuations from period to period.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2010, an evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter ended December 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company, the Bank and each of their subsidiaries are, from time to time, involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of their businesses. While the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is generally the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel representing the Bank and the Company in any such proceedings, the resolution of any such proceedings should not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company, the Bank and each of their subsidiaries are not aware of any legal actions or other proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities outside of the normal course of business.
