PS FINANCIAL, INC. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
All of the outstanding options at March 31, 2001 and 2000 relate to options granted in 1997 at an exercise price of $14.00. In January 1998, the Company paid a special dividend, which was declared in 1997, which resulted in a change in equity structure. This event allowed the Company to modify the stock option agreements to adjust the exercise price to $11.02, which was an adjustment in direct proportion to the decrease in exercise price as compared to market value as a result of the change in equity structure.

PS FINANCIAL, INC. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000

Total assets decreased $2.1 million to $112.0 million at March 31, 2001 from $114.1 million at December 31, 2000, due mainly to a decrease in loans receivable of $1.9 million.

The Company's net loans receivable decreased by $1.9 million to $66.0 million at March 31, 2001 from $67.9 million at December 31, 2000 as principal paydowns were used to repay maturing higher yielding deposits. Securities available-for-sale (including equity and mortgage-backed securities) decreased by $1.2 million to $39.5 million at March 31, 2001 from $40.7 million at December 31, 2000. During the quarter, $10.1 million in securities were called and reinvested in lower yielding short term U. S. Treasury equity funds. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million to $2.7 million at March 31, 2001 from $1.3 million at December 31, 2000.

Total liabilities at March 31, 2001 were $95.8 million compared to $98.1 million at December 31, 2000, a decrease of $2.3 million. The decrease was due mainly to a $2.3 million decrease in deposits to $58.3 million at March 31, 2001 from $60.6 million at December 31, 2000, as higher paying term deposits were not renewed as interest rates decreased.

Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2001 was $16.2 million compared to $16.0 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of $195,000, or 1.2%. This increase was due primarily to a $363,000 decrease in the unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale, and net income of $245,000, partially offset by payment of regular dividends totaling $195,000 and the purchase of treasury stock totaling $304,000.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000.

General
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $245,000, a decrease of $141,000, or 36.5%, from net income of $386,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The decrease in net income is primarily due to a decrease in net interest spread as a result of decrease of $8.8 million in average assets from March 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001.

Interest Income
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $2.0 million compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $236,000, or 10.5%. The decrease in interest income was a result of a decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets due primarily to $10.1 million of securities called in the first quarter of 2001, that were reinvested in lower yielding securities, as well as a $7.5 million decrease in average interest earning assets from March 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001.

PS FINANCIAL, INC. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 was $1.3 million. While total deposits decreased $7.7 million from March 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001, the average rate paid on these deposits increased. This resulted in a decrease in the net interest margin at March 31, 2001 to 2.70% from 3.38% at March 31, 2000.

Provision for Loan Losses
The Bank's provision for loan losses was zero for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. At March 31, 2001, the Bank's allowance for loan losses totaled $281,000, or .4% of total loans. The amount of the provision and allowance for estimated losses on loans is influenced by current economic conditions, actual loss experience, industry trends and other factors, such as adverse economic conditions, including declining real estate values, in the Bank's market area. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to provide additions to the allowance based upon judgments which differ from those of management. The absence of a loan loss provision for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was indicative of management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, given the trends in historical loss experience of the portfolio and current economic conditions, as well as the fact that the majority of loans are single-family residential loans and the loan-to-value ratios are generally less than 80%. Although management uses the best information available, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions that may be beyond the Bank's control.

Past due loan balances at March 31, 2001 decreased to $3.6 million compared to $3.7 million at March 31, 2000. Included in the past due loan balances are non-accruing loans at March 31, 2001 totaling $1.0 million compared to $1.3 million at March 31, 2000.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $50,000 compared to a loss of $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to a $27,000 gain on sales of securities in 2001 compared to a $58,000 loss in 2000, offset by a $14,000 decrease in other income.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $435,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $436,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $1,000. The decrease was primarily a result of an $8,000 decrease in other operating expenses and a $9,000 decrease in professional fees, offset by a $7,000 increase in data processing expenses, a $6,000 increase in compensation expense and a $3,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expenses. Professional fees were higher in 2000 due to the modified dutch tender offer that was completed in the first quarter of 2000.

Income Taxes
Income taxes were $122,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $149,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $27,000, or 18.1%. The decrease was primarily a result of a $168,000 decrease in pretax earnings.

Asset/Liability Management
In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management monitors the Company's interest rate risk. The Board of Directors meets at least quarterly to review the Company's interest rate risk position and profitability. The Board of Directors also reviews the Company's portfolio, formulates investment strategies and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the Company's objectives in the most effective manner. In addition, the Board reviews on a quarterly basis the Company's asset/liability position, including simulations of the effect on the Company's capital of various interest rate scenarios.

In managing its asset/liability mix, PS Financial, depending on the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preference, often places more emphasis on managing net interest margin than on better matching the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities in an effort to enhance net interest income. Management believes that the increased net interest income resulting from a mismatch in the maturity of its asset and liability portfolios can, during periods of declining or stable interest rates, provide high enough returns to justify the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates.

The Company's interest rate risk decreased during the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 (most recent available) due to decreases in the average remaining maturity of the Company's fixed income securities and net loans receivable. Management has taken a number of steps to limit to some extent its interest rate risk. First, the Company focuses its fixed rate loan originations on loans with maturities of 15 years or less. At March 31, 2001, $50.1 million, or 95.5%, of the Company's one- to four family residential loan portfolio consisted of fixed rate loans having original terms to maturity of 15 years or less. Second, the Company offers balloon loans of 10 years or less in an attempt to decrease its asset/liability mismatch. Third, the Company has maintained a mortgage-backed securities portfolio with adjustable-rates. At March 31, 2001, adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities totaled $4.4 million which represented 4.1% of interest-earning assets. Finally, a substantial proportion of the Company's liabilities consists of passbook savings accounts which are believed by management to be somewhat less sensitive to interest rate changes than certificate accounts.

Generally, the investment policy of the Company is to invest funds among various categories of investments and maturities based upon the Company's need for liquidity, to achieve the proper balance between its desire to minimize risk and maximize yield, to provide collateral for borrowings, and to fulfill the Company's asset/liability management policies. Investments generally include interest-bearing deposits in other federally insured financial institutions, FHLB stock, U.S. Government securities, municipal securities and equity securities.

PS FINANCIAL, INC. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
PS Financial's cost of funds responds to changes in interest rates due to the relatively short-term nature of its deposit portfolio. Consequently, the results of operations are heavily influenced by the levels of short-term interest rates. PS Financial offers a range of maturities on its deposit products at competitive rates and monitors the maturities on an ongoing basis.

An approach used by management to quantify interest rate risk is net portfolio value ("NPV") analysis. In essence, this approach calculates the difference between the present value of liabilities, expected cash flows from assets and cash flows from off balance sheet contracts. The following table sets forth, at December 31, 2000, an analysis of the Bank's interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in NPV resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve (+/-300 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments).

Change in Interest Rates (Basis Points)	Estimated NPV Amount	Ratio of NPV to Total Assets	Estimated Increase (Decrease) in NPV
			Amount	Percent
(dollars in thousands)
+300	$7,992	7.6%	($8,917)	(53)%
+200	11,117	10.2	(5,792)	(43)
+100	14,222	12.7	(2,687)	(16)
---	16,909	14.6	---	---
-100	18,492	15.7	1,583	9
-200	20,093	16.7	3,185	19
-300	22,148	18.0	5,239	31

Certain assumptions utilized in assessing interest rate risk were employed in preparing the preceding table. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under the various interest rate scenarios. It was also assumed that delinquency rates will not change as a result of changes in interest rates although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. 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 above. 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 above.
