(“ESI”), a real estate development company, and the ~~amounts~~Bank ~~previously~~and ~~reported~~its ~~have~~wholly-owned ~~been~~subsidiary, ~~reclassified~~First toFinancial ~~conform~~Corporation toof Sioux City (“FFC”). ESI was dissolved effective March 31, 2008. FFC is a majority owner of United Escrow, Inc. which serves as an escrow agent in Woodbury County, Iowa. FFC formerly operated a title search and abstract continuation business through its subsidiary, Sioux Financial Company (“SFC”). Substantially all the assets of SFC were sold in March 2007, and the Company ~~presentation~~is no longer involved in ~~these~~the title search and abstract continuation business. The results of operations of all former wholly-owned subsidiaries are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. ~~These reclassifications~~All ~~did~~significant ~~not~~inter-company ~~affect~~accounts ~~previously~~and ~~reported~~transactions ~~net~~have ~~income~~been oreliminated ~~retained~~in consolidation. In the opinion of management the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the ~~earnings~~Company at September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009 and the results of operations and cash flows for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

~~Critical Judgments~~Use ~~and~~of ~~Estimates~~ estimates: The ~~Company~~preparation ~~described~~of ~~its significant~~financial ~~accounting~~statements ~~policies~~ in ~~Note~~conformity 1with ofgenerally ~~the~~accepted ~~Company's~~accounting ~~Audited~~principles ~~Consolidated Financial~~(“GAAP”) ~~Statements~~requires inmanagement ~~its~~to ~~2008~~make ~~Annual~~estimates ~~Report~~and onassumptions ~~Form 10-K.

To determine the “credit related” portion, the Company used a discounted cash flow analysis. Cash flow models were prepared by an independent third party consultant using default assumptions and were used by management to determine if the net present value of the cash flows expected on the security were equivalent to or greater than the original cash flows projected on the security when purchased. The cash flows are discounted at the original purchased yield. If the net present value of the projected cash flows was less than the cost basis of the security, the difference is considered credit related and is recorded through earnings.

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the ~~Audit~~weighted ~~Committee~~average number of common shares and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the ~~full~~period.

Note 2. Organization

The Company is the holding company for Vantus Bank (the “Bank”). The Company owns 100% of the Bank’s common stock. Currently, the Company engages in no other significant activities beyond its ownership of the Bank’s common stock.

Note 3. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of

~~assets and~~First ~~liabilities,~~Federal ~~the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements~~Bankshares, ~~and~~Inc. ~~the reported amounts of revenues~~ and ~~expenses during the reporting period.

~~Note 4. Effect~~Notes ofto ~~New~~Consolidated ~~Accounting~~Financial ~~Standards~~Statements

~~In October~~The ~~2008,~~following ~~the~~information ~~FASB~~was ~~issued~~used ~~FSP SFAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset~~ in ~~a Market That is Not Active (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 clarifies~~ the ~~application~~computation of ~~SFAS~~net ~~No.~~income ~~157, Fair Value Measurements~~ (~~“SFAS 157”~~loss), inper ~~an inactive~~common ~~market. FSP~~share ~~157-3~~on ~~addresses~~both ~~application issues such as how management’s internal assumptions should be considered when measuring fair value when relevant observable data do not exist, how observable market information in~~ a ~~market~~basic ~~that is not active should be considered when measuring fair value,~~ and ~~how~~ ~~the~~diluted ~~use~~basis offor ~~market quotes should be considered when assessing~~ the ~~relevance of~~periods observable and unobservable data available to measure fair value. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance. The Company’s adoption of FSP 157-3 impacted how securities shown on the statement of financial condition are valued. See Note 7 and 8 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding fair value.indicated:

On April 9, 2009, the FASB finalized three FASB Staff Positions (“FSPs”) regarding the accounting treatment for investments including our portfolio of securities. These FSPs changed the method for determining if an “other than temporary” impairment (“OTTI”) exists and the amount of OTTI to be recorded through an entity’s statement of operations. The changes brought about by the FSPs provide greater clarity and reflect a more accurate representation of the credit and noncredit components of an OTTI condition. The three FSPs are as follows:

	Three-Months Ended

	2009			2008
	(Unaudited)

·Subsequent FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP 115-2/SFAS 124-2”) provide additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company elected early adoption of this FSP in its interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009.Events

·Subsequent ~~FSP~~events ~~SFAS~~have 157-4 Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Assets or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”) provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 emphasizes that even if there has been aevaluated ~~significant decrease in the volume and level of activity~~ for ~~the~~potential ~~asset~~recognition ~~or liability~~ and ~~regardless~~disclosures ofthrough ~~the~~December ~~valuation technique(s) used~~10, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. FSP 157-4 is effective for all periods ending after June 15, 2009, ~~and~~which ~~shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption~~ is ~~permitted for all periods ending after March 15, 2009, and~~ the ~~Company~~date ~~elected~~we ~~early~~filed ~~adoption of~~ this ~~FSP~~Form in10-Q ~~its~~with ~~interim consolidated financial statements for~~ the ~~three~~Securities ~~months~~and ~~ended~~Exchange ~~March 31, 2009~~Commission.

·Recent ~~FSP~~accounting SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company did not elect early adoption of this FSP.pronouncements

~~FSP 115-2/124-2~~The ~~and~~following ~~FSP~~paragraphs ~~157-4~~summarize ~~are~~recent ~~effective~~accounting ~~for~~guidance ~~all periods ending after June 15, 2009; however as permitted under the pronouncement, the Company early adopted on January 1, 2009,~~ and ~~increased~~references ~~the beginning balance of retained earnings $440,000 with a corresponding adjustment~~ to ~~accumulated other comprehensive income for OTTI recorded in previous periods on securities in~~ the ~~Company’s portfolio~~FASB at January 1, 2009, that would not have been required had the FSP been effective for those periods. As a result of the adoption of the FSPs, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, $11.8 million of OTTI remained in other comprehensive income that would have been reported in the statement of operations under the prior guidance.ASC:

Effective for all interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) became the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.

InFirst ~~January~~Federal ~~2009~~Bankshares, ~~the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF 99-20~~Inc. ~~This~~ ~~FSP amends the impairment guidance in EITF 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income~~ and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interest That Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets to align it with the impairment guidance within SFAS No. 115 by removing from EITF 99-20 the requirement to place exclusive reliance on market participants’ assumptions about future cash flows when evaluating an asset for “other than temporary” impairment. Both standards will now require that assumptions about future cash flows consider reasonable management judgment about the probability that the holder of an asset will be unable to collect all amounts due. FSP EITF 99-20-1 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP EITF 99-20-1 did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.Subsidiaries

InNotes ~~February~~to ~~2007,~~Consolidated ~~the FASB issued Statement No. 159, (“SFAS 159”) The Fair Value Option for~~ Financial ~~Assets~~ and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This Statement provides entities with an option to report selected financial assets at fair value. The objective of the Statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply the complex provisions of hedge accounting. This Statement was effective for the Company on July 1, 2008. The Company did not elect to apply the provisions of SFAS 159 to eligible items as of the date of adoption. As such, the adoption of SFAS 159 did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.Statements

~~In September~~FASB ~~2006,~~ASC ~~the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a final consensus on Issue 06~~855-0410, ~~Accounting~~“Subsequent ~~for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements.

EITF 06-04 allows~~ the Company ~~to record the initial recognition of the liability through stockholders~~’ ~~equity. Upon the adoption of EITF 06-04 the Company’~~s ~~stockholders’~~financial ~~equity~~position ~~decreased by approximately $710,000. Ongoing expenses will be recognized through the current year operations. Management estimates the first year’s expense will be approximately $30,000,~~ or ~~less~~results ~~than~~of $0operation.~~01 per share.~~

~~In September~~Comprehensive 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, (“SFAS 158”), Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).loss: ~~SFAS~~Comprehensive ~~158 requires~~loss aincludes ~~company~~net ~~that~~income ~~sponsors a postretirement benefit plan~~ (~~other than a multi-employer plan~~loss) ~~to fully recognize~~, as anwell ~~asset~~as orother ~~liability,~~changes ~~the over-funded or under-funded status of its benefit plan~~ in ~~its balance sheet.

Currently,~~with ~~the funded status of such plans is reported in the notes to the financial statements~~stockholders. ~~This~~The ~~provision was effective for the~~ Company’s ononly ~~July 1,~~element ~~2006. In addition, SFAS No. 158 also requires a company to measure its plan assets and benefit obligations as~~ of ~~its~~other ~~year~~comprehensive ~~end~~loss ~~balance sheet date.

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method for taxes on income, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Stock option plan: The Company records all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, in the financial statements based on their fair values in accordance with the measurement provisions of FASB ASC 718-10-30 and FASB 718-10-35, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in these

consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications did not affect previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

Fair value of financial instruments: The Company’s sole financial instrument at June 30, 2009 (other than assets and liabilities of discontinued operations) consists of cash and cash equivalents. The recorded amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

Note 2. Going Concern

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

• Level 1 Inputs — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 Inputs — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

• Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

As discussed in Note 4- Effect of New Accounting Standards, FSP 157-3 and FSP 157-4 clarify the application of SFAS 157 in an inactive market. FSP 157-3 addresses application issues such as how management’s internal assumptions should be considered in measuring fair value when relevant observable data does not exist, how observable market information in a market that is not active should be considered when measuring fair value, and how the use of market quotes should be considered when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data

~~available to~~First ~~measure~~Federal ~~fair~~Bankshares, ~~value~~Inc. ~~FSP~~ ~~157-3 was effective upon issuance. FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume~~ and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. The Company early adopted FSP 157-4 effective March 31, 2009. The Company’s adoption of both FSP 157-3 and FSP 157-4 impact how securities shown on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition were valued at March 31, 2009.Subsidiaries

Results of Operations

The operations of Vantus Bank have been presented as discontinued operations. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. The Company has no ongoing operations. Total assets of the Company at September 30, 2009 were $766,000, consisting of approximately $609,000 of cash and approximately $157,000 of other assets consisting primarily of prepaid professional fees.

The Company recorded net income of $10.1 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $798,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The income for the 2009 period includes a non-cash gain of $10.2 million. Upon closure of Vantus Bank, assets of approximately $491.5 million and liabilities of approximately $501.7 million were transferred to the FDIC, resulting in a gain of $10.2 million. Since the Company’s sole source of income at present is interest on a money market account, it is likely that company will incur operating losses due to costs associated with winding up of the affairs of the Company. Legislation was enacted November 6, 2009 which permits corporate taxpayers to elect to carryback net operating losses up to five years, rather than two years under prior tax law. The Company has not yet determined whether it will be entitled to a refund under the recently enacted legislation. Refunds, if any, may be an additional source of income for the Company.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $10.1 million, compared to net loss of $798,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The net income was due to the gain resulting from the transfer of assets and liabilities to the FDIC in connection with the closure of Vantus Bank, offset by an increase in professional fees, insurance and regulatory expenses and by lower average balances and interest rates on interest earning assets. Without that gain, the Company would have had a net loss of $52,000 of the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Upon adoption of SFAS 157 on July 1,~~ 2008, ~~the Company had a total of $39.4 million of available-for-sale securities with significant unobservable inputs~~ (~~Level 3~~Unaudited). Because the market is inactive for these securities, observable market data was not available. The fair value of these securities was determined by discounting the expected cash flows over the life of the security. The discount rate was determined by observing discount rates of similar-rated financial corporate debt securities as published by third party broker/dealers. Adjustments to this discount rate were made for various factors including illiquidity and credit risk.

Professional, insurance and regulatory expenses increased from $7,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $47,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to fees incurred in efforts to restructure the financial position of the Company and the Bank, as well as winding up the affairs of the Company.

~~Note 8. “Other~~Financial ~~than Temporary” Impairment on Investment Securities~~Condition

AsSeptember a result of the accounting changes mentioned in note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and note 4 – Effects of New Accounting Standards, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company recognized $17.0 million in total “other than temporary” impairment charges of which $5.2 million was recognized as OTTI losses recorded through earnings. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recognized $30.1 million in total “other than temporary” impairment charges of which $7.0 million was recognized as OTTI losses recorded through earnings. The Company engaged independent consulting firms to assist in the valuation of the Company’s trust preferred securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Based on the consulting firm’s findings, ~~management determined the Company’s trust preferred CDO securities had an aggregate fair value of $12.5 million at March 31,~~ 2009~~. Seven~~ ~~of the~~Compared ~~securities were determined~~ to ~~have~~June ~~OTTI write downs that were recognized in earnings. Two of the seven securities with an original par value of $4.4 million incurred an OTTI charge of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31~~30, ~~2009. The~~ Company does not have the ability and intent to hold these securities because they exceed the Bank’s loans-to-one-borrower limit and, pursuant to an agreement with the Bank’s federal regulator, will be sold when liquidity returns to the market. The remaining five of the seven securities with an original par value of $17.0 million had OTTI write down of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. To determine the write down on these securities, the investment consulting firm projected cash flows for each collateralized debt obligation and discounted the cash flows at the original purchased yield. The consulting firm analyzed each underlying bank or insurance company and assigned a probability of default. Those default assumptions were then used to determine the

Overview. Total assets decreased from $492.4 million at June 30, 2009 to $766,000 at September 30, 2009. The primary reason for the decline in assets was the closure of the Bank by the FDIC on September 4, 2009. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $857,000 at June 30, 2009 to $609,000 at September 30, 2009 due to higher professional, insurance and regulatory expenses related to regulatory issues and other matters.

Assets and Liabilities of Discontinued Operations. As a result of the closure of Vantus Bank on September 4, 2009, the Company had no assets or liabilities of discontinued operations. Discontinued operations of $491.5 million and $501.7 million represent the assets and liabilities, respectively, of the Bank as of June 30, 2009.

Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit). Total stockholders’ equity (deficit) increased from a deficit of $9.4 million at June 30, 2009 to $737,000 at September 30, 2009. The increase in stockholders’ equity (deficit) is related to recognition of a non-cash gain of $10.2 million upon closure of the Bank.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2009 the Company’s source of funds consisted of checking and money market funds totaling $609,000. See Note 2 on Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the Company’s future plans. Sources of income for previous periods included interest on the ESOP loan and investment securities.

Legislation was enacted November 6, 2009 which permits corporate taxpayers to elect to carryback net operating losses up to five years. The Company has not yet determined whether it will be entitled to a refund for previous tax years under the recently enacted legislation.

ITEM 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has no ongoing operations. Because the Company is no longer engaged in commercial banking activities, it is no longer subject to its primary risks, interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. At September 30, 2009 the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $609,000 in checking and money market accounts. Because deposits in excess of $250,000 are not insured by the FDIC, the Company is subject to a remote risk that the institution in which the Company deposits its cash funds may fail.

ITEM 5

OTHER INFORMATION

Plan of Dissolution and Liquidation

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a Plan of Dissolution and Liquidation on September 29, 2009. The Company’s Board of Directors has submitted the Plan of Dissolution and Liquidation to the stockholders for approval at a special meeting of stockholders to be held on December 18, 2009. The principal terms of the Plan of Dissolution provide for:

~~Note 9. Non-Performing~~· ~~Assets~~the voluntary dissolution of the Company and the winding up of its business and affairs in accordance with Delaware law; and

~~Non-performing assets~~· atthe ~~March~~distribution ~~31, 2009 increased~~ to $29.6 million as compared to $18.6 million at June 30, 2008. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased from 3.30% at June 30, 2008, to 5.93% as of March 31, 2009. The increase in non-performing assets is primarily due to a loan relationship totaling $7.5 million that was originated for the ~~purchase~~Company’s ~~and renovation~~stockholders of ~~an existing office building in downtown Des Moines. That loan was placed on non-accrual status during~~ the ~~current quarter. This~~Company’s ~~loan~~remaining ~~relationship had previously been identified by management as a classified asset and was rated as “Substandard~~assets.~~” In addition, a $3.1 million loan to a real estate holding company for a formal wear manufacturer and distributor was placed on non-accrual during the current quarter.~~

The ~~following~~ ~~table~~Company ~~sets~~has ~~forth~~no ~~information~~ongoing ~~regarding~~operations. The ~~non-accrual~~closure ~~loans~~of the Bank and ~~other non-performing~~the ~~assets~~Board’s atintent to pursue a Plan of Dissolution gives rise to substantial doubt about the ~~dates~~Company’s ~~indicated~~ability to continue as a going concern.

Winding up of the Company

~~Loans~~In ~~are considered~~accordance ~~impaired~~with ~~when~~Delaware itlaw is(assuming ~~probable~~that the stockholders approve the Plan of Dissolution), the Company’s business and affairs will be ~~unable~~wound up under the direction of the Board of Directors. We expect that some of the directors and officers will continue to ~~collect~~serve for a period of time after the approval of ~~all~~the ~~contractual~~Plan ~~principal~~of Dissolution, but will then resign and ~~interest~~that ~~payments~~any ~~due~~vacancies resulting from their resignations will be eliminated by action of the Board of Directors, in accordance with the ~~terms~~ Bylaws. Depending on the length of time taken to wind up the ~~loan~~affairs ~~agreement~~of the Company, ~~including~~other ~~loans~~individuals ~~placed~~(who onmay ~~non-accrual~~be former officers or directors of the Company) may be elected by the remaining directors to oversee completion of the winding up. ~~The following~~ ~~table~~Delaware ~~sets~~law ~~forth~~also ~~information~~permits onthe ~~impaired~~Board ~~loans~~of Directors, any creditor or any stockholder to apply to the Delaware courts at ~~March~~any ~~31,~~time ~~2009~~during the winding up proceedings to have such proceedings continued under the law and the supervision of the court.

In the event the Company’s winding up takes materially longer than anticipated, the Company’s Board of Directors may establish a liquidating trust to administer the remaining tasks involved in winding up the Company’s affairs. In such event, the remaining assets of the Company would be transferred to the liquidating trust and the Company’s stockholders would become the beneficiaries of the trust. Beneficial interests in the trust likely would not be transferable (except by operation of law).

~~Note 10~~No federal or state regulatory approvals are required in order for the Company to effectuate the Plan of Dissolution, other than compliance with the applicable laws of Delaware governing the winding up of corporations, with which the Company expects to be able to comply in the ordinary course. ~~Securities~~

~~The following~~We ~~table~~presently ~~sets~~believe ~~forth~~that ~~information~~the ~~regarding~~Company ~~the~~has ~~amortized~~no ~~cost~~material liabilities. Barring unforeseen events, ~~gross unrealized~~we ~~gains~~anticipate that we will be able to complete the Company’s winding up and ~~losses~~make a distribution to stockholders as soon as the fourth calendar quarter of 2009 or the first calendar quarter of 2010. However, there is no assurance that the winding up of the Company will not take longer than anticipated. It may take longer than currently anticipated to complete the necessary proceedings and unanticipated claims may be raised against the ~~fair~~Company, ~~value~~the resolution of which may delay completion of the Company’s ~~investment~~winding up. It may also be necessary for the Company to use its assets as security for asserted claims. In addition, if there are valid claims against the Company, it may be necessary for the Company to satisfy these claims ~~securities~~out atof ~~March~~its 31assets. Accordingly, ~~2009~~there ~~and~~is ~~June~~no 30assurance that we will be able to distribute all, ~~2008~~or any, of the assets to stockholders as anticipated.

Note 11. Taxes

Tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008 are presented below:

	March 31, 2009		June 30, 2008
Net deferred tax assets:
Related to unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale	$	15,608,000	$	6,581,000
Other		3,756,000		3,289,000
Total net deferred tax asset	$	19,364,000	$	9,870,000

The Company believes the deferred tax asset related to unrealized losses on securities available-or-sale is recoverable because the Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities until recovery of the unrealized loss amounts. In addition, based upon the Company’s level of anticipated future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

Note 12. Liquidity and Capital and Regulatory Status

On March 27, 2009, Moody’s Investor Service downgraded seven of the Company’s fourteen trust preferred CDO securities to below investment grade. On April 9, 2009, Fitch Ratings downgraded the remaining seven trust preferred CDO securities to below investment grade. As a result of these downgrades, the Bank is required to apply a higher “risk weighting formula” to these securities when calculating its regulatory capital ratios. That formula calls for increasing the Bank’s risk-weighted assets for these securities to $433.8 million, well above the $52.0 million in par value held by the Company. Upon applying the higher level of risk weighted assets to the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios, the calculated ratios as of March 31, 2009 were as follows: Tier I leverage ratio of 7.85% (compared to an adequately capitalized threshold of 4.00%); a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 5.01% (compared to an adequately capitalized threshold of 4.00%); and a total risk-based capital ratio of 5.52% (compared to an adequately capitalized threshold of 8.00%). As the Bank is less than adequately capitalized (when measured against the total risk-based capital requirement), the Bank is subject to a higher level of regulatory oversight and supervision.

The Company received notification on May 10, 2009 from the OTS that the Bank is considered significantly undercapitalized under the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) capital categories and that the Bank must increase its capital and return to adequately capitalized status. The notification directed the Bank to prepare and submit a capital restoration plan to the OTS by June 15, 2009 that would return the Bank to adequately capitalized status by September 30, 2009. The Company must guarantee that the Bank will comply with its capital restoration plan until the Bank is adequately capitalized for four consecutive quarters. That plan was submitted on time and management is waiting for a response from the OTS. In addition, pursuant to the notification, the OTS imposed on the Bank a number of operating restrictions, including the following:

· The Bank cannot make or pay any capital distributions without the prior written approval of the OTS;

· The Bank’s average total assets in any calendar quarter cannot exceed average assets during the preceding quarter unless the increase in assets in consistent with a capital restoration plan that has been accepted by the OTS;

· The Bank may not acquire any interest in any company or insured depository institution, establish a new branch office, or engage in any new line of business;

· The Bank may not accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit; and

· The Bank may not pay any bonus to a senior executive officer or provide compensation to any senior executive officer exceeding that officer’s average rate of compensation (excluding bonuses, stock options, and profit sharing) during the preceding 12 months, without prior written approval from the OTS.

A PCA Directive and a consent order formalizing the foregoing are expected from the OTS in the near future. Any additional formal or informal regulatory action may have a material adverse impact on the Company.

As part of its plan to improve its regulatory capital ratios, the Bank has engaged Sandler O’Neill & Partners, an investment banking firm, to advise the Company and the Bank with respect to strategic alternatives, including selected asset and branch sales, and capital raising initiatives. With respect to capital raising initiatives, the Company has engaged in substantive discussions with several private equity groups related to a potential equity investment in the Company. The Company has signed a letter of intent with one private equity group pursuant to which the group would make a significant equity investment in the Company. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in negotiating a definitive agreement for such a transaction. In addition, an investment in the Company by one or more private equity investors would result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders of the Company.

The Bank's actual and required capital amounts as of March 31, 2009, and June 30, 2008, were as follows:

The Company is also required by OTS regulation to maintain sufficient liquidity to assure its safe and sound operation. The Company's primary sources of liquidity are deposits obtained through its branch office network, borrowings from the FHLB and other sources, amortization, maturity, and prepayment of outstanding loans and investments, and sales of loans and other assets. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company used these sources of funds to fund loan commitments, purchase loans, and cover maturing liabilities and deposit withdrawals. The Company had a total of $42.0 million of loan commitments outstanding as of March 31, 2009. In addition, at March 31, 2009, the Company had $135.5 million in certificates of deposit, $83.5 million in FHLB advances, and $3.6 million in other borrowings that were scheduled to mature within one year.

could adjust the rates it offers on certificates of deposit and other deposits to retain current deposit customers and generate new deposits if needed. In addition to deposits, as of March 31, 2009, the company had borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank to borrow an additional $23.0 million.

Management anticipates that the FHLB will decrease the Company’s borrowing limit at the FHLB from 25% of total assets to 20% of total assets (or approximately from $124.6 million to $99.7 million). As of March 31, 2009, the Company’s has $91.3 million in borrowings with the FHLB. As a result, this development is not expected to have a near-term impact on the Company’s operations.

Subsequent to the quarter end, the Federal Reserve informed the Company that it would require the Company to post $6.0 million in collateral in order to cover check inclearings going through the Federal Reserve. The Company has posted the collateral and does not expect a near-term impact on the Company’s operations.

The following table presents, as of March 31, 2009, the expected future payments of the Bank’s contractual obligations.

Note 13. Stock-based Compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards. Weighted-average assumptions used for stock options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 under the 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Plan were as follows:

	2009
Dividend yield		0.00	%
Expected volatility		80.11	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.77	%
Expected life of awards (in years)		5.00
Weighted-average grant date fair value of awards granted during the year	$	1.44

A summary of option activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 is presented below:

					Weighted-
			Weighted-		Average
			Average		Remaining		Aggregate
			Exercise		Contractual		Intrinsic
	Number		Price		Term (years)		Value
Outstanding options as of June 30, 2008		76,750	$	17.44

Share-based compensation expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 totaled approximately $103,000 and $130,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2009, there was $86,782 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements, to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

Note 14. Bank Branch Office Sale

On December 15, 2008, the Company sold its banking center in Grinnell, Iowa to another financial institution. Assets sold at book value totaled $27.4 million. The purchaser assumed liabilities that totaled $53.7 million and paid a 10.58% premium, or $5.6 million, on deposit balances totaling $52.7 million.

Results of Operations

Quarter Overview The Company recorded a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009, of $3.0 million or $0.91 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Excluding OTTI charges and restructuring costs, net income is estimated to have been $445,000 or $0.13 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to an estimated net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.58 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008

Nine Month Overview The Company’s net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, was $912,000 or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.2 million or $0.98 per diluted share in the same period last year. Excluding OTTI charges, restructuring costs and the gain on sale of branch offices, net income is estimated to have been $340,000 or $0.10 per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to an estimated net loss of $1.3 million or $0.39 per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

The following paragraphs discuss the aforementioned changes in more detail along with other changes in the components of net income during the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2009.

Net Interest Income Net interest income for three-month period ended March 31, 2009, was $3.7 million compared to $3.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008. The net interest margin improved 43 basis points to 3.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from 2.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2009, net interest income was $12.6 million compared to $12.2 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2008. The net interest margin improved 68 basis points to 3.61% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, from 2.93% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in margin for both periods was due to a generally lower interest rate environment that decreased the cost of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities faster than the decrease of yields on interest-earning assets. The margin improvement was partially offset by a decrease in the Company’s average interest-earning assets.

The following tables set forth information regarding the average balances of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and equity, as well as the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. The information is based on daily average balances during the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Provision for Losses on Loans The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2009, was $0.1 million as compared to $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the provision for loan losses decreased to $2.1 million from $3.2 million during the same time period last year. The decrease in both periods was attributed to the Company increasing its allowance for loan loss in the previous year in response to a deterioration of the Company’s asset quality and specific allowances that were recognized in the previous periods.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $6.2 million as of March 31, 2009, compared to $5.9 million as of March 31, 2008. The Company’s methodology for establishing allowance for loan loss is heavily influenced by the level of the Company’s non-performing and classified loans. Non-performing loans and classified assets have increased over the last year due to the well-publicized difficulties in the overall markets for commercial and residential real estate. Although management believes that the Company’s present level of allowance for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that future adjustments to the allowance will not be necessary, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. For additional discussion, refer to “Financial Condition – Non-Performing and Classified Assets.”

The following table summarizes the activity in the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Non-Interest Income Non-interest income totaled $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $1.4 million during the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, non-interest income totaled $10.3 million compared to $4.5 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2008. The following paragraphs discuss the principal components of non-interest income and the primary reasons for the changes from 2008 to 2009.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts Service charges on deposits increased $60,000 to $830,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in the previous year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, service charges on deposit accounts totaled $2.9 million as compared to $2.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was due to a higher level of overdraft and interchange fees collected on debit card transactions. The higher level of fees collected was primarily due to a significant increase in the number of checking accounts opened over the last year.

Service Charges on Commercial and Consumer Loans Service charges on commercial and consumer loans decreased $15,000 to $43,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in the previous year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, service charges on loans decreased $155,000 to $123,000. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the collection of prepayment penalties on commercial and commercial real estate loans during the current periods as compared to the previous periods.

Gain of Sale of Bank Branches On December 15, 2008, the Bank completed the sale of its Grinnell, Iowa, branch office to Lincoln Savings Bank. As a result of this transaction, the Bank recognized a gain on sale of $5.6 million.

Mortgage Banking Revenue Mortgage banking revenue consists of gain on sale, collection of loan fees, and mortgage servicing income. Mortgage banking revenue increased to $352,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $148,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, mortgage banking revenue increased to $599,000 from $519,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The change in revenue is attributable to an increase in fixed rate mortgage origination volumes due to the overall decline in market interest rates. In addition, during the most recent quarter, the Company sold approximately $13.0 million of agency conforming mortgage loans at a gain of approximately $100,000. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company was informed that, due to the Company’s capital levels, it was suspended from selling loans to FNMA. Management believes the suspension would be lifted when the Company regains “well capitalized” status. The Company began to sell loans to another investor and is in the process of adding additional investors. As a result, management believes the suspension from selling loans to FNMA will not have a significant impact on operations or future revenue.

Earnings from Bank Owned Life Insurance Earnings from bank owned life insurance increased $8,000 to $147,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, earnings for bank owned life insurance increased $25,000 to $439,000 from $414,000 during the same period last year. These changes were attributable to an increase in the investment yield of the underlying insurance policies.

Other Income Other income increased $32,000 to $307,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in the previous year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, other income declined to $762,000 from $834,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The differences between the two periods were primarily due to changes in the sales of fixed annuities and mutual funds.

Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009, was $4.9 million compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, non-interest expense totaled $15.5 million compared to $15.2 million for the same period a year ago. The following paragraphs discuss the principal components of non-interest expense and the primary reasons for the changes from 2008 to 2009.

Personnel Expense Compensation and employee benefit expense was $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compensation and employee benefits decreased to $7.7 million compared to $8.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in compensation and benefit expense was primarily due to the sale of the Grinnell, Iowa branch and the reorganization plan that the Company implemented in the previous quarter and continued during the current quarter.

Restructuring Costs In order to reduce non-interest expense, the Company implemented a reorganization plan that reduced the full time equivalent employees to 149 at March 31, 2009, as compared to 196 in the previous year. The decrease in full time equivalent employees also includes the Grinnell, Iowa branch staff which consisted of eight full time equivalent employees. Management anticipates a savings of approximately $2.5 million a year. One time costs associated with that reorganization plan were $206,000 and $708,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, respectively.

Office Property and Equipment Office property and equipment expense increased $20,000 to $808,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in the previous year. The increase is attributed to expenses associated with the reconfiguration of some of the Company’s office space as a result of the Company’s reorganization. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, office property and equipment expense totaled $2.2 million as compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ending March 31, 2008. The decrease in office, property and equipment expense was due to less depreciation expense as a result of the sale of the Company’s Grinnell, Iowa branch.

Data Processing, ATM and Debit Card Transaction Costs, and Other Item Processing Expense Data processing, ATM and debit card transaction costs decreased to $271,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $336,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in expense for was attributed to a decline in software and hardware maintenance costs as compared to the same time period in the previous year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009 data processing, ATM and debit card transaction costs totaled $1.2 million as compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was partially due to the increased number of new checking accounts opened during the last twelve months as compared to the previous year. In addition, the Company has been successful at increasing the number of internet and mobile banking users and the number of debit card transactions has increased. As a result, processing costs to service these channels have increased as compared to the previous year.

Professional, Insurance, and Regulatory Professional, insurance and regulatory expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009, increased to $451,000 from $282,000 for the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, professional, insurance, and regulatory expense increased $480,000 to $1.3 million as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in expense for both periods is primarily due to costs incurred from clarifications of “mark-to-market” or “fair value” accounting rules and consulting costs associated with the sale of the Grinnell, Iowa branch. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company renewed its directors and officers

insurance policy (D&O) insurance. The cost of this policy has increased from approximately $30,000 per quarter to approximately $180,000 per quarter commencing during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter.

Advertising, Donations, and Public Relations Expenses related to advertising, donations and public relations decreased to $169,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $288,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, advertising, donations and public relations expense decreased to $738,000 from $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in expenses was due to non-recurring costs related to the Bank’s name change that occurred in the previous year. In addition, during the quarter, the Company changed its focus to a lower cost; more individual customer focused advertising campaign as compared to a higher cost, mass marketing effort.

Communication, Postage, and Office Supplies Communications, postage, and office supplies expense decreased by $16,000 from $212,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, to $196,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, communication postage and office supply expense decreased to $597,000 as compared to $647,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. These decreases were primarily due to costs associated with the Bank’s name change that occurred in the previous year. In addition, the Company has been successful in switching the delivery of account statements from paper to electronic delivery.

Loss on other real estate owned Loss on other real estate owned decreased to $149,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $187,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, loss on other real estate owned totaled $490,000 compared to $256,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in expense during the fiscal year was due to an overall decline in real estate market values on properties the Company has received in foreclosure.

Other Non-Interest Expense Other non-interest expense increased from $164,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, to $218,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, other expense increased to $657,000 compared to $554,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was due to costs incurred by the Company to dispose of foreclosed property.

“Other than Temporary” Impairment For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recognized $17.0 million in total “other than temporary” impairment charges of which $5.2 million was recognized as OTTI losses recorded through earnings. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recognized $30.1 million in total “other than temporary” impairment charges of which $7.0 million was recognized as OTTI losses recorded through earnings. The Company engaged independent consulting firms to assist in the valuation of the Company’s trust preferred securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Based on the consulting firm’s findings, management determined the Company’s trust preferred CDO securities had an aggregate fair value of $12.5 million at March 31, 2009. Seven of the securities were determined to have OTTI write downs that were recognized in earnings. Two of the seven securities with an original par value of $4.4 million incurred an OTTI charge of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company does not have the ability and intent to hold these securities because they exceed the Bank’s loans-to-one-borrower limit and, pursuant to an agreement with the Bank’s federal regulator, will be sold when liquidity returns to the market. The remaining five of the seven securities with an original par value of $17.0 million had OTTI write down of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. To determine the write down on these securities, the investment consulting firm projected cash flows for each collateralized debt obligation and discounted the cash flows at the original purchased yield. The consulting firm analyzed each underlying bank or insurance company and assigned a probability of default. Those default assumptions were then used to determine the projected cash flow of the security. If the net present value of the cash flows was less than the cost basis of the security, the difference is considered credit related and is recorded through earnings.

Three of the Company’s collateralized mortgage obligations with an original par value of $14.0 million were also determined to be “other than temporarily” impaired. Total “other than temporary” impairment on these securities as of March 31, 2009, was approximately $3.1 million. To determine the write down on these securities, management engaged a third party investment advisor to project cash flows for each mortgage backed security. To determine the write down on these securities, the investment consulting firm projected cash flows for security and discounted the cash flows at the original purchased yield. If the net present value of the cash flows was less than the cost basis of the security, the difference is considered credit related and is recorded through earnings. The “other than temporary” loss related to credit and recognized in earnings totaled $1.3 million.

The effects of the trust preferred CDO securities on the Company’s earnings and capital position will continue to be influenced by market conditions and other factors, including specific issuer credit deterioration, deferral and default rates of specific issuer financial institutions, failure or government seizure of the underlying financial institution, rating agency actions, and the prices at which observable market transactions in these types of securities occur. While management closely monitors the performance of the Company’s trust preferred CDO securities and does not intend to sell these securities prior to the recovery in value, the current market environment significantly limits the Company’s ability to mitigate its exposure to future OTTI write downs and price changes in these securities. Accordingly, if market conditions deteriorate further, it is likely that the Company would then determine additional credit write downs on the Company’s trust preferred CDO securities. Such a determination would have a further material adverse impact on the Company’s earnings, shareholders’ equity and regulatory capital.

The effects of the collateralized mortgage obligations on the Company’s earnings and capital position will be influenced by market conditions and other factors, including past due foreclosure and recovery rates of the underlying residential mortgages in the mortgage backed security. If these conditions deteriorate further, it is likely that the Company would then determine additional credit write downs on the Company’s residential mortgage backed securities. Such a determination would have a further material adverse impact on the Company’s earnings, shareholders’ equity and regulatory capital.

Income Tax Benefit Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2009, was $1.9 million compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, income tax benefit was $913,000 compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 represented 38% and 40% of pre-tax loss, respectively. The income tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, represented 50% and 41% of pre-tax loss, respectively. Differences in the income tax benefit as a percentage of the pre-tax loss were attributable to the level of non-taxable income as compared to the Company’s loss before the income tax benefit.

Financial Condition

Overview Total assets decreased by $66.4 million to $498.6 million at March 31, 2009, from $565.0 million at June 30, 2008. On December 15, 2008, the Company completed the sale of its Grinnell, Iowa branch (“Branch”) to Lincoln Savings Bank. Lincoln Savings Bank purchased at book value: the Branch, including equipment, furniture and fixtures associated with the Branch; the loans associated with the Branch; and the Bank's ATM located at Grinnell College. As of the closing date these assets totaled $27.4 million. In addition, Lincoln Savings Bank assumed certain liabilities; primarily, the deposits housed at the Branch, and paid a 10.58% premium, or $5.6 million, on $52.7 million in deposits. As of the closing date, the liabilities assumed by Lincoln Savings Bank totaled $53.7 million. In addition, during the most recent quarter, the Company sold approximately $13.0 million of agency conforming residential loans.

Securities Available-for-Sale and Held-for-Investment Total securities decreased by $37.8 million to $53.4 million at March 31, 2009, from $91.2 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in market value of the Company’s collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and trust preferred Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”). Trust preferred CDOs represent a participation interest in a pool of trust preferred debt or subordinated notes of banks, thrifts, insurance companies and REITS. As of March 31, 2009, the collateral of the CDOs purchased by the Company are approximately 76% bank, 24% insurance companies, and less than one percent was either homebuilders or real estate investment trusts (“REITS”). Investments were generally rated “A” or “triple-B” by independent rating agencies at the time of purchase.

Federal law and regulation generally permit the Bank to invest up to 35% of its assets in commercial paper and corporate debt securities. Notwithstanding this investment limit, guidance issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") imposes lower limits on such investments. The Company was advised by the OTS that the aggregate amount of the Company's portfolio of trust-preferred pooled securities exceeds OTS regulatory guidelines. The Company filed a plan with the OTS on May 15, 2008, to come into compliance with such regulatory guidelines and the timeframe for doing so. As part of such plan, the Company asked the OTS for approval to allow the Company to retain such securities, notwithstanding the regulatory guidelines. On September 25, 2008, the Company received a letter from the OTS that stated the OTS had no objection to the Company’s plan. However, the OTS did conclude two bonds were in excess of the OTS loans to one borrower limit (LTOB). As a result, the Company

classified the portion over the LTOB limit as “other than temporarily impaired” at September 30, 2008 due to a lack of ability by the Company to hold these securities to maturity and/or forecasted recovery. The Company intends to sell these two securities over the LTOB limit when liquidity returns to the market place. Please refer to “Results of Operations – Other than Temporary Impairment,” above, and “Financial Condition – Stockholders’ Equity,” below, for additional discussion relating to the Company’s trust-preferred securities (“TPSs”) portfolio.

The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s securities that were considered “other than temporary” impaired at March 31, 2009.

The investment portfolio is evaluated quarterly for other-than-temporary declines in the market value of individual investment securities. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, the investment rating of the security, the expected cash flows, the intent and ability of the Company to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, and other factors. Generally, no one factor is considered presumptive or determinative, but rather all factors are considered based on their relative weighting. As these factors and considerations change, the assessment of other-than-temporary impairment is reconsidered, which may result in additional securities being considered “other than temporarily” impaired in future periods.

default rates of specific issuer financial institutions, failure or government seizure of the underlying financial institution, rating agency actions, and the prices at which observable market transactions in these types of securities occur. While management closely monitors the performance of the Company’s trust preferred CDO securities and does not intend to sell these securities prior to the recovery in value, the current market environment significantly limits the Company’s ability to mitigate its exposure to future OTTI write downs and price changes in these securities. Accordingly, if market conditions deteriorate further, it is likely that the Company would then determine additional credit write downs on the Company’s trust preferred CDO securities. Such a determination would have a further material adverse impact on the Company’s earnings, shareholders’ equity and regulatory capital.

The effects of the CMOs on the Company’s earnings and capital position will be influenced by market conditions and other factors, including past due foreclosure and recovery rates of the underlying residential mortgages in the mortgage backed security. If these conditions deteriorate further, it is likely that the Company would then determine additional credit write downs on the Company’s residential mortgage backed securities. Such a determination would have a further material adverse impact on the Company’s earnings, shareholders’ equity and regulatory capital.

Loans Receivable Loans receivable decreased by $58.1million to $355.6 million as of March 31, 2009, from $413.7 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease is partially attributable to the sale of the branch in Grinnell, Iowa and the sale of approximately $13.0 million of agency conforming residential loans. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s loan portfolio, by type of loan, on the dates indicated.

	March 31, 2009						June 30, 2008

(2) Includes other secured and unsecured personal loans.

Office property and equipment Office property and equipment decreased from $18.8 million at June 30, 2008, to $16.3 million at March 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to the aforementioned sale of the branch in Grinnell, Iowa and depreciation of the Company’s office equipment.

FHLB Stock The Company’s FHLB stock increased from $4.3 million at June 30, 2008, to $5.9 million at March 31, 2009. The increase was a direct result of the increase in FHLB advances, which increases the level of FHLB stock required to be held. The purchase of stock is required in order to receive advances. FHLB stock is historically purchased and sold at par. On May 14, 2009, the Board of Directors of the FHLB – Des Moines approved a first quarter 2009 dividend at an annualized rate of 1.0 percent. The dividend was paid on May 22, 2009.

Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets Foreclosed and repossessed assets increased to $7.9 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $0.9 million at June 30, 2008. The increase was primarily due to two large commercial real estate relationships consisting of five different projects entering into foreclosure proceedings. However, the amount of foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased from the prior quarter. At December 31, 2008, foreclosed and

repossessed assets were $8.6 million. Please refer to “Financial Condition - Non-Performing and Classified Assets” for more detail.

Deferred Tax Asset The Company’s deferred tax asset increased from $9.9 million at June 30, 2008 to $19.4 million at March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.

Deposit Liabilities Deposit liabilities decreased by $59.3 million, to $387.3 million at March 31, 2009, from $446.6 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease in deposits was largely due to the aforementioned sale of the branch in Grinnell, Iowa. However, deposit liabilities increased during the most recent quarter. As of December 31, 2008, deposit liabilities were $369.7 million. The increase in deposit liabilities during the quarter was attributable to a renewed focus on small business and relationship building.

FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings The Company’s FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $9.7 million, to $91.3 million at March 31, 2009, from $81.6 million at June 30, 2008. The change was due to increased borrowings to assist in the funding of Grinnell, Iowa branch sale.

Stockholders’ Equity Total stockholders’ equity decreased by $16.6 million from $32.0 million at June 30, 2008, to $15.4 million at March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss was caused by a decline in the fair value of the Company’s TPS portfolio and CMO portfolio. The cash flows of the Company’s TPSs are derived from trust preferred securities and subordinated debt issued by well-diversified pools of banks and thrifts (76%), insurance companies (24%), and REIT/homebuilders (less than 1%). The Company’s TPS securities are secured through a combination of subordination from lower classes within the TPS structures, as well as over-collateralization of available future contractual cash flows.

Continued volatility in the market value for the Company’s investment portfolio, whether caused by changes in market perceptions of credit risk or actual defaults in the Company’s investment portfolio, could result in significant fluctuations in the value of these securities. This could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss and stockholders’ equity depending on the direction of the fluctuations. Furthermore, future downgrades or defaults in the Company’s investment portfolio could result in future classifications of these securities as “other than temporarily impaired”. This could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future earnings, stockholders’ equity, and regulatory capital.

Non-Performing and Classified Assets Non-performing assets at March 31, 2009, increased to $29.6 million as compared to $18.6 million at June 30, 2008. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased from 3.30% at June 30, 2008, to 5.92% as of March 31, 2009. The increase in non-performing assets is primarily due to a $7.5 million loan originated to an investor group for the purchase and renovation of an existing office building into condominiums in Des Moines that was placed on non-accrual during the current quarter. In addition, a $3.1 million loan to a real estate holding company for a formal wear manufacturer and distributor was placed on non-accrual during the current quarter.

The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual loans and other non-performing assets at the dates indicated.

(Dollars in Thousands)	March 31, 2009			June 30, 2008
Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis:
One- to four-family residential	$	1,329		$	1,167
Multi-family residential		1,613			3,230
Non-residential real estate		16,645			11,825
Commercial business		1,795			1,428
Consumer		282			99
Total non-performing loans		21,664			17,749

Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans		6.09	%		4.29	%
Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets		5.93	%		3.30	%

As of March 31, 2009, the Company’s adversely classified assets totaled $37.2 million (which includes non-performing loans in the above table) compared to $24.2 million, as of June 30, 2008. Adversely classified assets include loans rated “Substandard”, “Doubtful”, or “Loss”, as well as foreclosed and repossessed assets. Although the Company’s classified assets increased, management believes the allowance for loan loss was adequate.

The Company was closely monitoring nine classified assets totaling $31.5 million that are included in the $37.2 million total. These loan relationships were classified “Substandard” as of that date. The following paragraphs contain a brief discussion of each relationship.

In 2005, the Company originated a loan to an investor group for the purchase and renovation of an existing office building into condominiums in Des Moines. The current balance of this loan is $7.5 million. Condominium sales have been slow and the project has not met its sales targets. Management recently started foreclosure action on this loan and has placed it on nonaccrual status. This loan relationship has been classified “Substandard.” Management does not anticipate a loss on this loan at this time.

The Company originated a total of $8.5 million of loans to various real estate projects in Des Moines, Iowa that had a common guarantor. The guarantor has experienced financial difficulties. As a result, cash flow was not sufficient to service the debt. As a result, the Company foreclosed on all properties and the relationship was transferred to foreclosed and repossessed assets in September 2008. Some properties have been sold which has brought the balance down to $6.8 million. Management does not anticipate a loss on this loan at this time.

In October 2003, the Company purchased a $3.1 million loan. The borrower is a real estate holding company for a formal wear manufacturer and distributor. The Company recently started foreclosure action against the borrower. As a result, management has classified this loan as “Substandard” and is on non-accrual status. Management does not anticipate a loss on this loan at this time.

In October 2007, the Company originated loans totaling $3.1 million for the development of residential properties in Minnesota. The project is behind schedule and a recent appraisal revealed a significant decrease in the value of the project. As a result, the loan was placed on non-accrual and a currently has a specific allowance of $785,000.

In May 2007, the Company purchased a participation in a $33.0 million loan for construction of a bio-diesel plant in south-eastern Nebraska. The current balance is $3.2 million is currently in foreclosure proceedings. Management has classified this loan as “Substandard” and it was placed on non-accrual status. Management does not anticipate a loss on this loan at this time.

In 2005, the Company purchased a participation in a $60.0 million loan for a residential condominium and hotel project in Minneapolis, MN. The current balance is $3.1 million. Over 60% of the condominiums in the project have contracts to sell but have been unable to close due to the condominium purchasers being unable to obtain “jumbo” loan financing. As a result, the condominium project is unable to cash flow and has strained the cash flow of the entire project. As a result, management has classified this loan as “Substandard”. Management does not anticipate a loss on this loan at this time.

In 2007, the Company originated a $2.4 million loan for the construction of commercial properties. The project is behind schedule due to numerous weather related delays. Management has classified this loan “Substandard” and it is on non-accrual status. The Company recently received a new appraisal on the property. The new appraisal supports the current loan balance and would normally result in a zero specific allowance. However, due to the uncertainty of this project, management decided to lower the specific allowance to $340,000 from $700,000 on this loan relationship.

In August 2003, the Company purchased a loan to a garage door company in Colorado. The balance at March 31, 2009 was $1.6 million. Cash flow from the business is not sufficient to service the debt. The guarantors have injected cash into the business to keep the loan current. As a result, management has classified this loan as “Substandard”. The loan remains on accrual status. Management does not anticipate a loss on this loan at this time.

In 2003, the Company originated a $1.3 million loan for development of land in Des Moines, Iowa. The current principal balance of this loan is $0.7 million. The Company foreclosed on all properties and the relationship was transferred to foreclosed and repossessed assets.

Liquidity and Capital

On March 27, 2009, Moody’s Investor Service downgraded seven of the Company’s fourteen trust preferred CDO securities to below investment grade. On April 9, 2009, Fitch Ratings downgraded the remaining seven trust preferred CDO securities to below investment grade. As a result of these downgrades, the Bank is required to apply a higher “risk weighting formula” to these securities when calculating its regulatory capital ratios. That formula calls for increasing the Bank’s risk-weighted assets for these securities to $433.8 million, well above the $49.7 million in par value held by the Company. Upon applying the higher level of risk weighted assets to the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios, the calculated ratios as of March 31, 2009 were as follows: Tier I leverage ratio of 7.85% (compared to an adequately capitalized threshold of 4.00%); a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 5.01% (compared to an adequately capitalized threshold of 4.00%); and a total risk-based capital ratio of 5.52% (compared to an adequately capitalized threshold of 8.00%). As the Bank is less than adequately capitalized (when measured against the total risk-based capital requirement), the Bank is subject to a higher level of regulatory oversight and supervision.

In light of these developments, the Company received a formal regulatory letter on May 10, 2009. The letter requires the Bank to increase its capital to return to adequately capitalized status and file a capital restoration plan by June 15, 2009. In addition, the Company is subject to a number of restrictions including but not limited to:

· The Company cannot make or pay any capital distributions without prior written approval of the OTS.

· The Company’s average total assets cannot in any calendar quarter exceed average assets during the previous quarter without prior written approval of the OTS.

· The Company may not acquire any interest in any company or insured depository institution.

· The Company may not accept any new brokered deposit.

· The Company may not pay any bonus to a senior executive officer or provide compensation to any senior executive officer exceeding that officers average rate of compensation (excluding bonuses, stock options, and profit sharing) without written approval from the OTS.

The Company also believes a formal regulatory action is imminent. This action would formalize the restrictions stated above into a required board resolution. Any additional formal or informal regulatory action may have a material adverse impact on the Company.

As part of the plan to improve capital adequacy, the Company has engaged Sandler O’Neill & Partners, an investment banking firm, to advise the Company with respect to strategic alternatives, including selected asset and branch sales. The Company also has engaged in substantive negotiations with several private equity groups related to a potential equity investment in the Company. There can be no assurance that these discussions will result in a transaction. In addition, an investment in the Company by one or more private equity investors would result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders of the Company.

The Bank's actual and required capital amounts as of March 31, 2009, and June 30, 2008, were as follows:

Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to fund all of these obligations as well as the loan commitments it makes in the normal course of its business. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $16.9 million in interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions available for short term liquidity needs. In addition, the Company could sell securities currently available-for-sale to generate cash if needed. The Company also believes it could adjust the rates it offers on certificates of deposit and other deposits to retain current deposit customers and generate new deposits if needed. In addition to deposits, as of March 31, 2009, the company had borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank to borrow an additional $23.0 million.

The following table presents, as of March 31, 2009, the expected future payments of the Bank’s contractual obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In addition to the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, lines of credit and letters of credit. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
