(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements are prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("GAAP") for complete financial statements. All adjustments are of a
normal and recurring nature and, in the opinion of management, the
statements include all adjustments considered necessary for fair
presentation. These statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K to the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Operating results for the three months ended December 31,
2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2007, has
been derived from the audited balance sheet of the Company as of that
date.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues
and expenses for the period. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the
determination of the allowances for losses on loans, real estate owned,
valuation of mortgage servicing rights, and unrecognized tax benefits.
Management believes that these allowances are adequate, however, future
additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in
economic conditions.
The Company's critical accounting policies involving the more
significant judgements and assumptions used in the preparation of the
condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007,
have remained unchanged from September 30, 2007. These policies relate
to the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of mortgage servicing
rights. Disclosure of these critical accounting policies is
incorporated by reference under Item 8 "Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
Company's year ended September 30, 2007.
Certain quarterly amounts for previous periods have been
reclassified to conform to the current quarter's presentation.

(8) SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
On December 13, 2006, NASB Financial, Inc. (the "Company"), through
its wholly owned statutory trust, NASB Preferred Trust I (the "Trust"),
issued $25 million of pooled Trust Preferred Securities. The Trust used
the proceeds from the offering to purchase a like amount of NASB
Financial Inc.'s subordinated debentures. The debentures, which have a
variable rate of 1.65% over the 3-month LIBOR and a 30-year term, are
the sole assets of the Trust. In exchange for the capital contributions
made to the Trust by NASB Financial, Inc. upon formation, NASB
Financial. Inc. owns all the common securities of the Trust.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN
46R), the Trust qualifies as a special purpose entity that is not
required to be consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.
The $25.0 million Trust Preferred Securities issued by the Trust will
remain on the records of the Trust. The debentures are included in Tier
I capital for regulatory capital purposes.
The Trust Preferred Securities have a variable interest rate of
1.65% over the 3-month LIBOR, and are mandatorily redeemable upon the
30-year term of the dentures, or upon earlier redemption as provided in
the Indenture. The debentures are callable, in whole or in part, after
five years of the issuance date. The Company did not incur a placement
or annual trustee fee related to the issuance. The securities are
subordinate to all other debt of the Company and interest may be
deferred up to five years.

(9) INCOME TAXES
Effective October 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes" (FIN 48). Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized
a $217,000 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits,
which, as required, was accounted for as a decrease to the October 1,
2007 balance of retained earnings. The resulting amount of unrecognized
tax benefits of $1.3 million included $511,000 of related accrued
interest and penalties.
The unrecognized tax benefit is expected to decrease in the next
twelve months as a result of the statute of limitations expiring.
The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense in the
consolidated statements of income.
The Company's federal and state income tax returns for fiscal years
2004 through 2007 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue
Service and various state jurisdictions, based on the statute of
limitations.
(10) SEGMENT INFORMATION
In accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," the Company has identified three
principal operating segments for purposes of financial reporting:
Banking, Local Mortgage Banking, and National Mortgage Banking. These
segments were determined based on the Company's internal financial
accounting and reporting processes and are consistent with the
information that is used to make operating decisions and to assess the
Company's performance by the Company's key decision makers.
The National Mortgage Banking segment originates mortgage loans via
the internet primarily for sale to investors. The Local Mortgage
Banking segment originates mortgage loans for sale to investors and for
the portfolio of the Banking segment. Effective October 1, 2007, the
National Mortgage Banking and Local Mortgage Banking segments were
combined for reporting purposes due to the consolidation of substantial
operating and occupancy resources. The Banking segment provides a full
range of banking services through the Bank's branch network, exclusive
of mortgage loan originations. A portion of the income presented in the
Mortgage Banking segment is derived from sales of loans to the Banking
segment based on a transfer pricing methodology that is designed to
approximate economic reality. The Other and Eliminations segment
includes financial information from the parent company plus inter-
segment eliminations.
The following table presents financial information from the
Company's operating segments for the periods indicated. Dollar amounts
are expressed in thousands.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
GENERAL
The principal business of the Company is to provide banking
services through the Bank. Specifically, the Bank obtains savings and
checking deposits from the public, then uses those funds to originate
and purchase real estate loans and other loans. The Bank also purchases
mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and other investment securities from
time to time as conditions warrant. In addition to customer deposits,
the Bank obtains funds from the sale of loans held-for-sale, the sale of
securities available-for-sale, repayments of existing mortgage assets,
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), and the purchase of
brokered deposit accounts. The Bank's primary sources of income are
interest on loans, MBS, and investment securities plus customer service
fees and income from mortgage banking activities. Expenses consist
primarily of interest payments on customer deposits and other borrowings
and general and administrative costs.
The Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and is subject
to periodic examination by both entities. The Bank is also subject to
the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("FRB"), which establishes rules regarding reserves that must be
maintained against customer deposits.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
ASSETS
The Company's total assets as of December 31, 2007, were $1,528.7
million, an increase of $22.2 million from September 30, 2007, the prior
fiscal year end.
As the Bank originates mortgage loans each month, management
evaluates the existing market conditions to determine which loans will
be held in the Bank's portfolio and which loans will be sold in the
secondary market. Loans sold in the secondary market can be sold with
servicing released or converted into MBS and sold with the loan
servicing retained by the Bank. At the time of each loan commitment, a
decision is made to either hold the loan for investment, hold it for
sale with servicing retained, or hold it for sale with servicing
released. Management monitors market conditions to decide whether loans
should be held in portfolio or sold and if sold, which method of sale is
appropriate. During the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Bank
originated $159.7 million in mortgage loans held for sale, $140.3
million in mortgage loans held for investment, and $1.6 million in other
loans. This total of $301.6 million in loans originated compares to
$303.1 million in loans originated and purchased during the three months
ended December 31, 2006.
Loans held for sale as of December 31, 2007, were $42.8 million,
and consisted entirely of mortgage loans held for sale with servicing
released. All loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or
fair value.
The Bank classifies problem assets as "substandard," "doubtful" or
"loss." Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses, and it
is possible that the Bank will sustain some loss unless the deficiencies
are corrected. Doubtful assets have the same defects as substandard
assets plus other weaknesses that make collection or full liquidation
improbable. Assets classified as loss are considered uncollectible and
of such little value that a specific loss allowance is warranted.

The following table summarizes the Bank's classified assets as
reported to the OTS, plus any classified assets of the holding company.

Management records a provision for loan losses in amounts
sufficient to cover current net charge-offs and an estimate of probable
losses based on an analysis of risks that management believes to be
inherent in the loan portfolio. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
("ALLL") recognizes the inherent risks associated with lending
activities, but, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to
particular problem assets but to a homogenous pool of loans. Management
believes that the specific loss allowances and ALLL are adequate. While
management uses available information to determine these allowances,
future allowances may be necessary because of changes in economic
conditions. Also, regulatory agencies (OTS and FDIC) review the Bank's
allowance for losses as part of their examinations, and they may require
the Bank to recognize additional loss provisions based on the
information available at the time of their examinations.
LIABILITIES AND EQUITY
Customer and brokered deposit accounts decreased $53.8 million
during the three months ended December 31, 2007. The weighted average
rate on customer and brokered deposits as of December 31, 2007, was
4.21%, an increase from 4.06% as of December 31, 2006.
Advances from the FHLB were $536.8 million as of December 31, 2007,
an increase of $77.9 million from September 30, 2007. During the three-
month period, the Bank borrowed $108.0 million of new advances and
repaid $30.0 million. Management regularly uses FHLB advances as an
alternate funding source to provide operating liquidity and to fund the
origination and purchase of mortgage loans.
Subordinated debentures were $25.8 million as of December 31, 2007.
Such debentures resulted from the issuance of pooled Trust Preferred
Securities through the Company's wholly owned statutory trust, NASB
Preferred Trust I. The Trust used the proceeds from the offering to
purchase a like amount of the Company's subordinated debentures. The
debentures, which have a variable rate of 1.65% over the 3-month LIBOR
and a 30-year term, are the sole assets of the Trust.
12
Escrows were $4.2 million as of December 31, 2007, a decrease of
$5.2 million from September 30, 2007. This decrease is due to amounts
paid for borrowers' taxes during the fourth calendar quarter of 2007.
Total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2007, was $149.7
million (9.8% of total assets). This compares to $149.4 million (9.9%
of total assets) at September 30, 2007. On a per share basis,
stockholders' equity was $19.03 on December 31, 2007, compared to $18.99
on September 30, 2007.
The Company paid cash dividends on its common stock of $0.225 per
share on November 30, 2007. Subsequent to the quarter ended December
31, 2007, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.225 per share to
be paid on February 22, 2008, to stockholders of record as of February
1, 2008.
Total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2007, includes an
unrealized loss of $256,000, net of deferred income taxes, on available
for sale securities. This amount is reflected in the line item
"Accumulated other comprehensive loss."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of three months ended December 31,
2007 and 2006.
For the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Company had net
income of $1,869,000 or $0.24 per share. This compares to net income of
$4,574,000 or $0.55 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.
NET INTEREST MARGIN
The Company's net interest margin is comprised of the difference
("spread") between interest income on loans, MBS and investments and the
interest cost of customer and brokered deposits and other borrowings.
Management monitors net interest spreads and, although constrained by
certain market, economic, and competition factors, it establishes loan
rates and customer deposit rates that maximize net interest margin.
The following table presents the total dollar amounts of interest
income and expense on the indicated amounts of average interest-earning
assets or interest-costing liabilities for the three months ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006. Average yields reflect reductions due to
non-accrual loans. Once a loan becomes 90 days delinquent, any interest
that has accrued up to that time is reserved and no further interest
income is recognized unless the loan is paid current. Average balances
and weighted average yields for the periods include all accrual and non-
accrual loans. The table also presents the interest-earning assets and
yields for each respective period. Dollar amounts are expressed in
thousands.

Net interest margin before loan loss provision for the three months
ended December 31, 2007, decreased $610,000 from the same period in the
prior year. Specifically, interest income decreased $499,000 and
interest expense increased $111,000 for the period. Interest on loans
decreased $416,000 as the result of an 18 basis point decrease in the
average rate earned on loans receivable, the effect of which was
partially offset by a $11.2 million increase in the average balance of
such loans. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $184,000
as the result of a $16.2 million decrease in the average balance of such
securities and 20 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on
mortgage-backed securities. These decreases in interest income were
partially offset by a $91,000 increase in interest on securities due
primarily to a 152 basis point increase in the average rate earned on
such assets. Interest expense on customer and brokered deposits
increased $368,000 due to a 15 basis point increase in the average rate
paid on such deposits, the effect of which was partially offset by a
$19.5 million decrease in the average balance of deposits during the
period. Interest expense on subordinated debentures increased $339,000
due to a $19.8 million increase in the average balance of such
liabilities, which were issued in December 2006. These increases in
interest expense were partially offset by a $596,000 decrease in
interest on FHLB advances resulting from a 45 basis point decrease in
the average rate paid on FHLB advances during the period.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $700,000 during
the quarter ended December 31, 2007. This provision was related to
growth in the Bank's commercial real estate loan portfolio, and to
increases in loans classified as substandard, primarily in the Bank's
construction loan portfolio. Management determined that the relatively
large provision was necessary also due to deteriorating conditions in
the residential housing market. Management performs an ongoing analysis
of individual loans and of homogenous pools of loans to assess for any
impairment. On a consolidated basis, loan loss reserve was 75.1% of
total classified assets at December 31, 2007, 68.7% at September 30,
2007, and 59.0% at December 31, 2006.
Management believes that the provisions for loan losses is
adequate. The provision can fluctuate based on changes in economic
conditions, changes in the level of classified assets, changes in the
amount of loan charge-offs and recoveries, or changes in other
information available to management. Also, regulatory agencies review
the Company's allowances for losses as a part of their examination
process and they may require changes in loss provision amounts based on
information available at the time of their examination.
OTHER INCOME
Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2007,
decreased $3.2 million from the same period in the prior year.
Specifically, gain on sale of loans held for sale decreased $1.9 million
resulting from a decrease in mortgage banking volume for the quarter.
Provision for loss on real estate owned increased $445,000 due to an
increase in charge-offs of foreclosed assets held for sale during the
period. Customer service fees and charges decreased $119,000 due
primarily to a decrease in fees collected by the residential mortgage
banking division. Other income decreased $681,000 due to decreases in
loan prepayment penalties, income received on foreclosed assets held for
sale, and the effect of recording the net fair value of certain loan-
related commitments in accordance with FASB Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Total general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended December 31, 2007, increased $9,000 from the same period in the
prior year. Specifically, compensation, fringe benefits, and
commission-based mortgage banking compensation decreased $465,000 due
primarily to the lower loan origination volume and related staff
reductions in the residential mortgage lending division. This decrease
was offset by a $205,000 increase in premises and equipment costs
related primarily to a new loan origination system implemented in fiscal
2007. Additionally, advertising and business promotion expense
increased $170,000 due primarily to costs related to strategic direct
marketing costs related to the retail banking operation. Other expense
increased $104,000 due to increases in credit, appraisal, legal, and ATM
processing costs.

REGULATION
The Bank is a member of the FHLB System and its customers' deposits
are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") of the FDIC. The Bank
is subject to regulation by the OTS as its chartering authority. Since
passage of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement
Act of 1989 ("FIRREA" or the "Act"), the FDIC also has regulatory
control over the Bank. The transactions of DIF-insured institutions are
limited by statute and regulations that may require prior supervisory
approval in certain instances. Institutions also must file reports with
regulatory agencies regarding their activities and their financial
condition. The OTS and FDIC make periodic examinations of the Bank to
test compliance with the various regulatory requirements. The OTS can
require an institution to re-value its assets based on appraisals and to
establish specific valuation allowances. This supervision and
regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors.
Also, savings institutions are subject to certain reserve requirements
under Federal Reserve Board regulations.
INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS
The DIF insures the Bank's customer deposit accounts to a maximum
of $100,000 for each insured owner, with the exception of self-directed
retirement accounts, which are insured to a maximum of $250,000.
Deposit insurance premiums are determined using a Risk-Related Premium
Schedule ("RRPS"), a matrix which places each insured institution into
one of three capital groups and one of three supervisory groups.
Currently, deposit insurance premiums range from 0 to 27 basis points of
the institution's total deposit accounts, depending on the institution's
risk classification. The Bank is currently considered "well
capitalized," which is the most favorable capital group and supervisory
subgroup. DIF-insured institutions are also assessed a premium to
service the interest on Financing Corporation ("FICO") debt.
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
At December 31, 2007, the Bank exceeds all capital requirements
prescribed by the OTS. To calculate these requirements, a thrift must
deduct any investments in and loans to subsidiaries that are engaged in
activities not permissible for a national bank. As of December 31,
2007, the Bank did not have any investments in or loans to subsidiaries
engaged in activities not permissible for national banks.
The following tables summarize the relationship between the Bank's
capital and regulatory requirements. Dollar amounts are expressed in
thousands.

LOANS TO ONE BORROWER
Institutions are prohibited from lending to any one borrower in
excess of 15% of the Bank's unimpaired capital plus unimpaired surplus,
or 25% of unimpaired capital plus unimpaired surplus if the loan is
secured by certain readily marketable collateral. Renewals that exceed
the loans-to-one-borrower limit are permitted if the original borrower
remains liable and no additional funds are disbursed. The Bank has
received regulatory approval from the OTS under 12 CFR 560.93 to
increase its loans-to-one-borrower limit to $30 million for loans
secured by certain residential housing units. Such loans must not, in
the aggregate, exceed 150% of the Bank's unimpaired capital and surplus.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity measures the ability to meet deposit withdrawals and
lending commitments. The Bank generates liquidity primarily from the
sale and repayment of loans, retention or newly acquired retail
deposits, and advances from FHLB of Des Moines' credit facility.
Management continues to use FHLB advances as a primary source of short-
term funding. At December 31, 2007, there was $40.8 million available
to the Bank in the form of additional FHLB advances. The Bank has
established relationships with various brokers, and, as a secondary
source of liquidity, the Bank purchases brokered deposit accounts. At
December 31, 2007, the Bank has $91.6 million in brokered deposits, and
it could purchase up to $276.5 million in additional brokered deposits
and remain "well capitalized" as defined by the OTS.
Fluctuations in the level of interest rates typically impact
prepayments on mortgage loans and MBS. During periods of falling
interest rates, these prepayments increase and a greater demand exists
for new loans. The Bank's customer deposits are partially impacted by
area competition. Management believes that the Bank will retain most of
its maturing time deposits in the foreseeable future. However, any
material funding needs that may arise in the future can be reasonably
satisfied through the use of additional FHLB advances and/or brokered
deposits. Management is not aware of any other current market or
economic conditions that could materially impact the Bank's future
ability to meet obligations as they come due.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For a complete discussion of the Company's asset and liability
management policies, as well as the potential impact of interest rate
changes upon the market value of the Company's portfolio, see the
"Asset/Liability Management" section of the Company's Annual Report for
the year ended September 30, 2007.
Management recognizes that there are certain market risk factors
present in the structure of the Bank's financial assets and liabilities.
Since the Bank does not have material amounts of derivative securities,
equity securities, or foreign currency positions, interest rate risk
("IRR") is the primary market risk that is inherent in the Bank's
portfolio. On a quarterly basis, the Bank monitors the estimate of
changes that would potentially occur to its net portfolio value ("NPV")
of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items assuming a sudden
change in market interest rates. Management presents a NPV analysis to
the Board of Directors each quarter and NPV policy limits are reviewed
and approved. There have been no material changes in the market risk
information provided in the Annual Report for the year ended September
30, 2007.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and
procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this
evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial
officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-
Q that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially
affect our internal control over financial reporting.
