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 six months ended March 31, 2008, 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 March 31, 2008, 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.

(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 (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.

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 March 31, 2008, were $1,547.4 million, an increase of $40.9 million from September 30, 2007, the prior fiscal year end. 11 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 six months ended March 31, 2008, the Bank originated and purchased $397.8 million in mortgage loans held for sale, $212.2 million in mortgage loans held for investment, and $3.7 million in other loans. This total of $613.7 million in loans compares to $678.0 million in loans originated and purchased during the six months ended March 31, 2007. Loans held for sale as of March 31, 2008 were $51.7 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. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands. 3/31/08 9/30/07 3/31/07 ------------------------------------- Asset Classification: Substandard $ 19,543 11,726 13,722 Doubtful -- -- -- Loss 375 357 209 ------------------------------------- 19,918 12,083 13,931 Allowance for losses on loans and real estate owned (9,544) (8,301) (7,889) ------------------------------------- $ 10,374 3,782 6,042 ===================================== The following table summarizes non-performing assets, troubled debt restructurings, and real estate acquired through foreclosure or in- substance foreclosure.

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 $39.7 million during the six months ended March 31, 2008. The weighted average rate on customer and brokered deposits as of March 31, 2008, was 3.91%, a decrease from 4.15% as of March 31, 2007. Advances from the FHLB were $538.8 million as of March 31, 2008, an increase of $79.8 million from September 30, 2007. During the six-month period, the Bank borrowed $188.0 million of new advances and repaid $108.0 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 March 31, 2008. 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. Escrows were $6.7 million as of March 31, 2008, a decrease of $2.8 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 March 31, 2008, was $151.1 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 $19.21 on March 31, 2008, 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, and February 22, 2008. Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.225 per share to be paid on May 23, 2008, to stockholders of record as of May 2, 2008. Total stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2008, includes an unrealized gain of $107,000 net of deferred income taxes, on available for sale securities. This amount is reflected in the line item "Accumulated other comprehensive income." RATIOS The following table illustrates the Company's return on assets (annualized net income divided by average total assets); return on equity (annualized net income divided by average total equity); equity- to-assets ratio (ending total equity divided by ending total assets); and dividend payout ratio (dividends paid divided by net income). Six months ended ------------------------ 3/31/08 3/31/07 ------------------------ Return on assets 0.61% 1.09% Return on equity 6.22% 10.85% Equity-to-assets ratio 9.77% 9.76% Dividend payout ratio 75.72% 44.88% RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of three and six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had net income of $2,806,000 or $0.36 per share. This compares to net income of $3,769,000 or $0.46 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. 13 For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had net income of $4,675,000 or $0.59 per share. This compares to net income of $8,343,000 or $1.01 per share for the six months ended March 31, 2007. 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 six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. 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.

For each category of interest- earning asset and interest-costing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in rates (change in rate multiplied by the old volume), and (2) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by the old rate), and (3) changes in rate and volume (change in rate multiplied by the change in volume). Average balances, yields and rates used in the preparation of this analysis come from the preceding table. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

Specifically, interest income decreased $1.8 million due to a decrease in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of such assets. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by a $554,000 decrease in interest expense, which resulted from slight decreases in both the average balance of interest-costing liabilities and the average rate paid on such liabilities. Net interest margin before loan loss provision for the six months ended March 31, 2008, decreased $1.9 million from the same period in the prior year. Specifically, interest income decreased $2.3 million, which was partially offset by a $443,000 decrease in interest expense for the period. Interest on loans decreased $2.0 million as the result of a 40 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on loans outstanding during the period. The effect of this decrease was partially offset by a $20.6 million increase in the average balance of loans receivable. Interest on mortgage-backed securities deceased $368,000 due to a $17.0 million decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities and an 16 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on such securities. Interest expense on FHLB advances decreased $1.0 million primarily as the result of a 42 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on such liabilities. Interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $324,000 due to a $13.0 million decrease in the average balance of securities sold under agreements to repurchase. These decreases in interest expense were partially offset by a $681,000 increase in interest on customer and brokered deposits, resulting from a $3.5 million increase in the average balance and a 15 basis point increase in the average rate on such liabilities. Additionally, interest on subordinated debentures increased $245,000 due primarily to a $9.9 million increase in the average balance, which was partially offset by an 80 basis point decrease in the average rate on such liabilities. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $700,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, due to increases in loans charge offs related to the construction and development loan portfolios and increase in commercial real estate loans classified as substandard. The Company also recorded a provision for loan losses of $700,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, due to increases in loans classified as substandard, primarily in the Bank's construction and development loan portfolios. 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 47.9% of total classified assets at March 31, 2008, 68.7% at September 30, 2007, and 56.6% at March 31, 2007. 15 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 March 31, 2008, decreased $21,000 from the same period in the prior year. Specifically, provision for loss on real estate owned increased $300,000 due to an increase in charge-offs of foreclosed assets held for sale during the period. Other income decreased $163,000 due primarily to 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. These decreases were largely offset by a $377,000 increase in gain on sale of loans held for sale resulting from an increase in mortgage banking volume for the quarter. Additionally, gain on sale of securities increased $122,000 due to the redemption of Visa, Inc. common stock during their initial public offering in March 2008. Other income for the six months ended March 31, 2008, decreased $3.2 million from the same period in the prior year. Specifically, gain on sale of loans held for sale decreased $1.5 million due to decreased mortgage banking volume during the quarter ended December 31, 2007. Other income decreased $844,000 due primarily to decreases in check processing fee income, loan prepayment penalties, 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." Provision for loss on real estate owned increased $745,000 due to an increase in charge-offs of foreclosed assets held for sale during the period. Customer service fees and charges decreased $125,000 due primarily to a decrease in miscellaneous loan origination fees resulting from the decrease in mortgage banking volume. Loan servicing fees decreased $145,000 due to an increase in capitalized servicing amortization, which resulted from an increase in actual prepayments and estimated future repayments of the underlying mortgage loans during the period. These decreases were offset by a $122,000 increase in gain on sale of securities due to the redemption of Visa, Inc. common stock during their initial public offering in March 2008. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008, increased $196,000 from the same period in the prior year. Specifically, compensation, fringe benefits, and commission-based mortgage banking compensation increased $413,000 due primarily to an increase in mortgage banking volume for the quarter. Premises and equipment expense increased $144,000 due primarily to costs related to a new loan origination system implemented in fiscal 2007. These increase were offset by a $208,000 decrease in other expense due primarily to decreases in professional fees, ATM processing fees, and other costs related to the consolidation of loan origination offices in fiscal 2007. In addition, advertising and business promotion expense decreased $151,000 due to a decrease in costs related to the national mortgage banking operation and decreases in direct marketing costs related to the retail banking operation. Total general and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2008, increased $205,000 from the same period in the prior year. Specifically, premises and equipment expense increased $349,000 due primarily to costs related to a new loan origination system implemented in fiscal 2007. This increase was partially offset by a $104,000 decrease in other expense due primarily to decreases in professional fees, ATM processing fees, and other costs related to the consolidation of loan origination offices in fiscal 2007. 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. 16 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 5 to 43 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 March 31, 2008, 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 March 31, 2008, 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. At March 31, 2008 Amount ---------------------------------------------------------------- GAAP capital (Bank only) $ 153,683 Adjustment for regulatory capital: Intangible assets (2,821) Disallowed portion of servicing assets and deferred tax assets (2,291) Reverse the effect of SFAS No. 115 (107) --------- Tangible capital 148,464 Qualifying intangible assets -- --------- Tier 1 capital (core capital) 148,464 Qualifying general valuation allowance 8,858 --------- Risk-based capital $ 157,322 ========= As of March 31, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Minimum required for Minimum required to be Actual Capital Adequacy "Well Capitalized" ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Total capital to risk-weighted assets $ 157,322 12.4% 101,563 >=8% 126,954 >=10% Core capital to adjusted tangible assets 148,464 9.8% 60,817 >=4% 76,021 >=5% Tangible capital to tangible assets 148,464 9.8% 22,806 >=1.5% -- -- Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 148,464 11.7% -- -- 76,172 >=6% 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. 17 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 March 31, 2008, there was $45.4 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 March 31, 2008, the Bank has $130.5 million in brokered deposits, and it could purchase up to $267.3 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. 18 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
