      Unaudited Core Earnings and Core Cash Earnings Reconciliations
              (Dollars In thousands except per share amounts)

   Core earnings and related data are "Non-GAAP Disclosures."  These
disclosures present information which management considers useful to the
readers of this report since they present a measure of the results of the
Company's ongoing operations during the period (exclusive of  gains or
losses on sales of securities and other real estate owned and other
material non-recurring items).

   Core cash earnings and related data are also "Non-GAAP Disclosures."
These disclosures present information which management considers useful to
the readers of this report since they present a measure of the tangible
equity generated from operations during each period presented.  Tangible
stockholders' equity is derived from stockholders' equity, with various
adjustment items that are based upon standards of the Company's primary
regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision.   Tangible stockholders'
equity generation is a significant financial measure since banks are
subject to regulatory requirements involving the maintenance of minimum
tangible capital levels.  A reconciliation between GAAP stockholders'
equity (GAAP capital) and tangible stockholders' equity (regulatory
capital) can be found in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008.

   The following tables present a reconciliation of GAAP net income and
both core earnings and core cash earnings, as well as financial performance
ratios determined based upon core earnings and core cash earnings, for each
of the periods presented:
