                                   NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons that the required Form 10-QSB
could not be filed within the prescribed period.

The registrant worked diligently to prepare and file its quarterly report on
Form 10-QSB for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2003, but it was unable to
complete necessary reviews of the financial statements included in the report
by the prescribed filing date, August 14, 2003. The impediment to completing
those reviews could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort on expense.
The registrant's Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2003 will be
filed no later than August 19, 2003, within the time period prescribed by Rule
12b-25(b)(2)(ii) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

hereunto duly authorized.


Date:  August 14, 2003               By  /s/ Kelley L. Nanna
                                       ----------------------------------------
                                       Kelley L. Nanna, CPA
                                       Treasurer

                        CHANGE IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 decreased by $88,000 or
62.9% from $140,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $52,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2003. Net income (loss) decreased $1.4 million or
406.9% from $349,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to ($1,071,000) for
the six months ended June 30, 2003. Basic earnings per share were $.03 and $.09
for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Basic earnings
(loss) per share were ($.64) and $.22 for the six months ended June 30, 2003
and 2002, respectively. Diluted earnings per share were $.03 and $.09 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Diluted earnings (loss) per
share were ($.63) and $.22 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

The reduction in net income primarily was attributable to a significant
increase in non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $3,568,000 as
compared to $1,562,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. There also was a
significant decrease in interest income, but that decrease was substantially
offset by a decrease in interest expense. Interest income for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 was $2,928,000 as compared to $3,708 for the six months
ended June 30, 2002, while interest expense for the six months ended June 30,
2003 was $1,123,000 as compared to $1,854,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2002.

More complete information regarding the registrant's results of operations for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003 is set forth in the financial
statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the
registrant's Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, which will be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than August 19, 2003.
